Saving ALV List

Former Member — Mon, 15 May 2006 08:50:03 GMT

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me if an ALV list report could be saved as LIST (as in 'SAVE_LIST'). I don't want to use 'Submit....exporting list to memory and return' as then I have to trigger my program twice, once for getting the output in Spool and then again in my internal table. Can 'Save_list' be used for ALV report?

What I want to do is, 1st my program will scheduled in background, so i have to generate a spool there. And then I want to send the report in mail as well (for this, I want to get the report in ABAPLIST format, so that I can then convert this to HTML).

Use LIST Display instead of GRID Display to solve your problem

I am using list display itself (not grid), but how does it help? When I call 'Save_list' after 'reuse_alv_list_display' i get a sy-subrc = 1.

I think you can use SAVE_LIST only when you are using WRITE statements, with ALV, don't think so.

Yes, I also get the same feeling.

Then is there any alternative way of getting the ALV report in ABAPLIST format in an internal table? Any function module/method?

Is there any alternate way of 'Submit prog exporting list to memory and return' for ALV reports so that I can export the list to memory from that program itself avoid doing the same processing twice ?
