INTRODUCTION
SAP has introduced a lot of new technologies with Release 4.6. All of these are designed to have a
more pleasing user interface and make the work of the developer easier by automating many of the standard
functionalities, which was needed to be coded explicitly earlier. Along with automation, the new technologies
also bring with it a host of new and powerful features. But to use these features you have to master them. It is
similar to saying that if you have a Formula 1 Ferrari, the thrill is only if you can drive it at 200 kms/hr.
ALV or the SAP LIST VIEWER is one such technology. It is a tool for making reports with a better and
standardized interface. All clients want the latest of technologies to be used for their implementation and our
client was no exception. We initially found the going tough because there is hardly any documentation on ALV
with the small exception of a few sample codes on the Internet. But with hard work and an exploring attitude
we (the SAP MAM Team of Transco ODC) developed a fair amount of competency in ALV. This document is
in a way, the documentation of our learnings.
This document is NOT a comprehensive work on ALV. Indeed, there are many features that we
discover every week. This manual gives an introduction to ALV and on how a person can write simple ALV
reports. It has been written with FULL code dumps and screen shots so that there is no scope for confusion. It
tries to give the initial impetus required to venture into further exploration of the technology. There is no doubt
that you will find newer features and ‘smarter’ way of doing things in ALV. It is our request to you to document
these learnings and contribute to the EAS Knowledge Base. Remember, Rome was not built in a day.
With this let us put our best foot forward …
All programs in this document (ZSOMALV1-7) are available in the SAP PDC
Server. In case you are using them, you are requested to make a copy of them
and then work on the copy.

TOPICS INTRODUCED

2) REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.
3) Minimum parameters to be passed.

Any ALV program requires a minimum of two parameters to be passed to the function
REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.
 Field Catalogue (Details of the format of the columns to be displayed in the report)
 And the data to be populated in those columns.
In the above case we are passing the name of the table itself (in place of the field catalogue which
is discussed later). The function automatically creates the field catalogue in this case.
ALV automatically sets a standard PF-STATUS (the row of buttons above the report). With these
you can do a lot of standard functions like send it by mail, sort, save as a local file etc).
A common mistake that every beginner does is not to uncomment the ‘EXPORTING’ line of the function after
writing it by the Pattern button. Due to it, the function does not recognize the structure name being passed to it.

Choosing and saving Layouts
TOPICS INTRODUCED
1) How we can ensure that report allows the user to make, choose and save layouts (also called
display variants).
2) Optimize the column width to display data in the most efficient manner.
3) Other options that can be specified for layouts.

OUTPUT
Difference in this program is the usage of a Type-Pool (SLIS). This type pool contains all the
standard structures and tables (for eg. slis_alv_layout), which are to be populated and passed to
REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY. It is a good idea to keep a printout of this type-pool when coding
ALV programs. This is also included in this document as APPENDIX A.
Other difference is that we are passing a value ‘A’ to the parameter i_save,
Value range of parameter i_save can be,
' ' = No display variants can be saved
'X' = Only standard display variants can be saved
'U‘ = Only user-specific display variants can be saved
'A' = Standard and user-specific display variants can be saved
Note that 2 other buttons have appeared in the PF-STATUS (Change Layout and Save layout). When you click on
‘Change Layout’, a window comes up where you can specify the sort order, which all columns to be displayed and
other properties).
. 5
You can also sort the report using the sort buttons etc and click ‘Save Layout’. Then you are asked
whether it is user specific or default.
For all such interactive functions to work, we also need to pass the program ID (sy-repid) to ALV (I
meant REUSE_ALV ….). But it should never be passed alone, only after assigning it to a variable.
The final thing is the passing of layout specifications (i_layout) to ALV. Please refer to the other
fields in the structure slis_layout_alv (it is combination of two structures which has more structures
etc). Through them you can specify a host of other properties.
For example,
i_layout-zebra = ‘X’  This will result in the lines of the report having alternate colour.
i_layout-no_vline = ‘X”  Columns are separated by space.
i_layout-no_scrolling = ‘X”  Scrolling is disabled.
We found that a lot of such options were not working. If you do further R&D on this; please document them and
contribute to the EAS KB.

Specifying a field Catalogue
TOPICS INTRODUCED
1) Specify a heading for a report.
2) Create a field catalogue for the report.
In real life situations we will not need to simply display a table as we have been doing above. Most
probably it will be an internal table with a specific set of fields from different tables and maybe plain
integer or character fields. In such cases the simplest method to follow is to create an internal table
(of the same structure as what is to be displayed in the report) with the data; pass it to ALV and
also a field catalogue (also called fieldcat).

OUTPUT
Over here we are purposely using a customized internal table which is being displayed in ALV. Notice
that it contains two kinds of fields. Ones with DDIC (Data Dictionary Reference) and others without. The
table we are using to create a field catalogue (i_fieldcat) is of type slis_t_fieldcat_alv. It is a table of structure
slis_fieldcat_alv. Refer to the SLIS type-pool to get the other options that you can specify for a column.
For example,
line_fieldcat-icon = ‘X’  Specifies this column as a column of icons. You must then
specify valid icon values for tnem to be shown in the report.
line_fieldcat-lzero = ’X’  Allows leading zeroes to be shown for a number column.
line_fieldcat-just = ‘R’  R – Justify right, L – Left, C – Centre. Etc.
You can display a heading for the report using type lvc_title as shown.
NOTE: The table i_fieldcat is passed to the parameter it_fieldcat of the function instead of
i_structure_name as earlier.

OUTPUT
First let us discuss about events. As you may be aware, ABAP is a event driven language. Through
ALV we can cause one or more things to occur when an event is triggered. Over here in the above
example, we have defined the event TOP_OF_PAGE (By defining an event, I mean associating a form to it,
which is executed when that event occurs).
To define an event, first declare a table of type slis_t_event and through a form (f4000_events_init)
append lines to the table i_events. Each line is of type slis_alv_event and contains only two fields; the event
and the associated form, which is executed upon that event. Later i_events is passed to ALV.
To write a header, we use the function REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE. This function can be

used to write headers or footers for reports. To this function we pass a table of the text that we want to be
written in the report. It is of type slis_t_listheader. This is a table of rows, which can of three types,
HEADER, STATUS or ACTION as defined in the type slis_listheader, which is a line item of
slis_t_listheader. (P.S: Please don’t ask we why we have only three types. I don’t know!!)
ALV supports 16 events. They are:

1. ITEM_DATA_EXPAND
2. REP
3. REP_SEL_MODIFY
4. CALLER_EXIT
5. USER_COMMAND

6. TOP_OF_PAGE

Customize you PF Status
TOPICS INTRODUCED
1) Learn about the ‘Standard’ PF-Status that comes as default.
2) Exclude function codes from ‘Standard’ PF-Status and customize it.
In all the previous reports, we have seen that ALV displays a standard PF Status by
default, which contains a bare minimum function codes (also called fcodes). This is helpful
because we do not have to explicitly code the PF Status. Actually, this PF Status is the
‘STANDARD’ PF Status of the program SAPLSALV with 46 function codes excluded (disabled).
Use transaction SE41 to view all the function codes.
In most practical cases, we will need to exclude some function codes from the standard
PF Status because they might be irrelevant to our report or because we may need to disable
certain standard function codes. (For example, there are reports where the user must NOT be
allowed to sort).
In the following program we will see how we display the entire ‘STANDARD’ PF Status
(including the 46 fcodes which are usually disabled) and also disable 4 of the fcodes.

For starters, declare a new internal table ( i_extab) of type slis_t_extab. This will contain all the function codes,
which should be excluded from the PF Status. Initialize a new event called PF_STATUS_SET by assigning a
form to it. Inside this form (F4200_PF_STATUS_SET), first refresh the table i_extab, which gets populated by
the names of the 46 function codes that are populated by default by ALV. Then call a form, which populates
i_extab with the names of the 4 fcodes. Finally set the PF Status.

. 22
Process callback events
TOPICS INTRODUCED
1) Add customized buttons (function codes) to ‘Standard’ PF Status.
2) Customize the processing of such events.
In many cases, we may need to add buttons (function codes) to our PF status and assign a code
that will be executed when that function code is triggered. We can either create our own PF status
or copy the STANDARD pf status of program SAPLSALV creating our own to which we can add
buttons and function codes.

OUTPUT
In this program, first we created a PF status (ZSOM_STANDARD), which was an exact copy of STANDARD of
program SAPLSALV through transaction SE41 (Menu Painter). Then we added another button to it (circled in
white) with a new fcode called ‘CHNG’. Creation of PF status is not covered in this document, as it is available in
any standard ABAP material. After this this we set this PF status instead of STANADRD.
We initialize a third event USER_COMMAND and associate a form with it. In this form we can capture the
function codes and write any functionality under it. If we write functionality for an existing fcode, then this gets
precedence over the default functionality that might be associated with it.
In this example, we capture a standard fcode ‘&IC1’ that is nothing but double clicking a line of the report. We
are capturing the notification number of that line and calling transaction IW52 with it. We are also doing the
same when a user clicks on the new ‘Change Notification’ button.
When the user clicks the “Back’ button in IW52, it comes back to the report.

Sort Catalogue
TOPICS INTRODUCED
1) Define a sort catalogue for a report.
2) Sort a report using a sort catalogue.
Creating a sort catalogue is very similar to creating a field catalogue. In it we can specify the
fieldnames, table names, order of sorting, whether it should be sorted ascending or descending.
The steps to be taken are, first declare an internal table ( i_sort ) of type slis_t_sortinfo_alv. This is
a table of the structure slis_sortinfo_alv. Then create the sort catalogue in a form which is to be
called before the call to ALV. (i.e. REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY)
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*& Form f5000_sortcat_init
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
form f5000_sortcat_init changing i_sortcat TYPE slis_t_sortinfo_alv..

DATA: line_sortinfo TYPE slis_sortinfo_alv.
CLEAR line_sortinfo.
line_sortinfo-fieldname = 'QMART'.
line_sortinfo-tabname = 'I_DATA'.
line_sortinfo-spos = 1. " First sort by this field.
line_sortinfo-down = 'X'. " Descending
APPEND line_sortinfo TO i_sortcat.
line_sortinfo-fieldname = 'WS_ROW'.
line_sortinfo-tabname = 'I_DATA'.
line_sortinfo-spos = 2. " Second sort by this field.
line_sortinfo-up = 'X'. " Ascending
APPEND line_sortinfo TO i_sortcat.
endform. " f5000_sortcat_init
Then pass i_sortcat to ALV through the parameter it_sort.
* IT_EXCLUDING =
IT_SORT = i_sortcat
* IT_FILTER =
* IS_SEL_HIDE =
* I_DEFAULT = 'X'
. 29
In form F4200_pf_status_set, change the setting of the PF status to,
SET PF-STATUS 'ZSOM_STANDARD' OF PROGRAM 'ZSOMALV6' EXCLUDING i_extab.
Or else you will get an error. This is because this PF status was created for program ZSOMALV6.
OUTPUT
In this example we have sorted the above list first by notification type (QMART) descending and then by row
number (WS_ROW) ascending. Do note the small red arrows that come up in the column header indicating the
type of sort.
The usage of a sort catalogue is actually not required !! This is also the reason why I have decided to put it towards
the last. Just sort the internal data table (i_data) in the required manner before passing it to ALV and it will be
displayed as shown above. The only difference is that the red arrows won’t be there. . In short the statement,
SORT i_data BY qmart DESCENDING ws_row ASCENDING.
Is enough to replace all the code written above !!

Appendix
How to colour lines of a report

1. Include a 4-character field in the internal data table that is being passed to
REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.
Eg: DATA: BEGIN OF i_data OCCURS 10,

qmnum LIKE viqmel-qmnum,
qmart LIKE viqmel-qmart,
zzvalstat LIKE viqmel-zzvalstat,
valstattxt LIKE zawprcode-valstattxt,
kunum LIKE viqmel-kunum,
bstnk LIKE viqmel-bstnk,
qmtxt LIKE viqmel-qmtxt,
ws_color(4)TYPE c,
END OF i_data.
2. In the code, loop through the lines of the internal table and assign values to this field. The 4-
character value will be of the format - Cxyz.
Char 1 – is always C indicating that it’s a color property.

Char 2 (x) – color code, which can be any value from (1 – 7).
Char 3 (y) – Intensity on/off. (1 = on, 0 = off).
Char 4 (z) – Inverse display on/off. (1 = on, 0 = off).
(From the above, it is clear that we can have only 28 different coloring options)
Eg: C401.
LOOP AT i_data.
IF (expression 1).
i_data-ws_color = ‘C510’.
ELSEIF(expression 2).
ELSE.
ENDIF.
MODIFY i_data.
ENDLOOP.
3. When specifying the layout properties, specify the name of this field (ws_color) as the color field.
FORM f1200_define_layout CHANGING p_i_layout TYPE

slis_layout_alv.
CLEAR p_i_layout.
p_i_layout-zebra = 'X'.
p_i_layout-colwidth_optimize = 'X'.
. 41
p_i_layout-info_fieldname = 'WS_COLOR'.
ENDFORM. " F1200_define_layout
Example:
Shown below is screen dump with 14 coloring options. You could try out the rest 14!!
Code:
LOOP AT i_data.
cnt = cnt + 1.
elseIF cnt = 8.
IF cnt = 1. i_data-ws_color = 'C100'.
i_data-ws_color = 'C110'. ELSEIF cnt = 9.
ELSEIF cnt = 2. i_data-ws_color = 'C200'.
i_data-ws_color = 'C210'. ELSEIF cnt = 10
i_data-ws_color = 'C710'. ENDIF.
MODIFY i_data.
ENDLOOP.

APPENDIX: B – HOW TO COLOUR LINES OF A REPORT..................................................................

1) A simple ALV program.

3) Minimum parameters to be passed.

REPORT zsomalv1 NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.

DATA: i_qmel LIKE qmel OCCURS 0.

SELECT * FROM qmel INTO TABLE i_qmel.

CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'

3) Other options that can be specified for layouts.

REPORT zsomalv2 NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.

DATA: report_id LIKE sy-repid.

SELECT * FROM qmel INTO TABLE i_qmel.

CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'

FORM f1000_layout_init USING i_layout TYPE slis_layout_alv.

ENDFORM. " F1000_Layout_Init

1) Specify a heading for a report.

2) Create a field catalogue for the report.

REPORT zsomalv3 NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.

DATA: BEGIN OF i_data OCCURS 0,

DATA: report_id LIKE sy-repid.

CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'

ENDFORM. " F1000_Layout_Init

DATA: line_fieldcat TYPE slis_fieldcat_alv.

ENDFORM. " f2000_fieldcat_init

2) Execute a specific requirement when an event is triggered.

3) Use an event 'TOP_OF_PAGE' to write a header for the report.

REPORT zsomalv4 NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.

DATA: BEGIN OF i_data OCCURS 0,

DATA: report_id LIKE sy-repid.

CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'

FORM f1000_layout_init USING i_layout TYPE slis_layout_alv.

ENDFORM. " F1000_Layout_Init

DATA: line_fieldcat TYPE slis_fieldcat_alv.

ENDFORM. " f2000_fieldcat_init

FORM f3000_build_header USING i_header TYPE slis_t_listheader.

DATA: gs_line TYPE slis_listheader.

ENDFORM. " f3000_build_header

DATA: line_event TYPE slis_alv_event.

ENDFORM. " f3000_events_init

CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE'

To write a header, we use the function REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE. This function can be

ALV supports 16 events. They are:

1) Learn about the ‘Standard’ PF-Status that comes as default.

2) Exclude function codes from ‘Standard’ PF-Status and customize it.

REPORT zsomalv5 NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.

DATA: BEGIN OF i_data OCCURS 0,

DATA: report_id LIKE sy-repid.

CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'

FORM f1000_layout_init USING i_layout TYPE slis_layout_alv.

ENDFORM. " F1000_Layout_Init

DATA: line_fieldcat TYPE slis_fieldcat_alv.

ENDFORM. " f2000_fieldcat_init

FORM f3000_build_header USING i_header TYPE slis_t_listheader.
