topic Re: alv in Application Development and Automation Discussions

For OOALV,we define a container.Generally we use a custom container.The class used is cl_gui_custom_container.In the layout of your screen,make a custom container (icon with C written) and name it CONTAINER (in caps).Now create the container by going to the PATTERN button->ABAP objects.

We can now attach a control to the container.ALV,text editor,picture control are different types of controls.For ALV,we use the class cl_gui_alv_grid.Again you can create an instance by using the pattern button.The container name is given as the parent of the ALV in the constructor method.

We can use several methods of the ALV class to display data and for various functionalities.To display the data first time,we use SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY method.You can go to se24,type CL_GUI_ALV_GRID and click DISPLAY button.There you can see all the methods and attributes of the ALV class which you can use.

REPORT SAMPLE.

**alv and cont are references to the respective classes.However,the objects are not created yet.

DATA: alv type ref to cl_gui_alv_GRID,

cont type ref to cl_gui_custom_container,

ok_code type sy-ucomm.

**I fill my internal table itab_spfli with the data that i want in my ALV display

select * from spfli into table itab_spfli.

**I call the screen.In the screen layout,i have made a container named CONTAINER

call screen 100.

Hello Willard

Perhaps my sample report ZUS_SDN_THREE_ALV_GRIDS

(see )

could give you some ideas how to build your report. Instead of my drill-down (customer -> orders -> order items) you could use two primary ALV lists (customer and vendors) and a single secondary ALV list for drill-down to the open items for which you will find appropriate function modules.

Regards
