Hi

I am not the hardcore ABAP Person. But want to know about the detail fact of the ABAP Custome Reports. The question is can we do the background processing for the ABAP Custome Report in ALV Format.

If Yes ..do we require to have any additional Function/code to get the spool in ALV Format. I saw the comments that the output will look like the mess.

Please share your comment or any useful documenation on this. We are in ECC 6.0

Thanks in advance..and yes it will be rewared by points.

Hi,

ALV is a better way of coming out with your list output. As far as there is no user interaction, you can run an ALV report background. But it is better to have an ALV for foreground application since the list format here is better than your classical report. I have recently created an ALV report based on OOPs where the user can edit the displayed values and this report also generates an invoice. This runs on froeground. IF the same report had no user interaction but would have still generated an invoice then i would have prefered to run this background...

Madan..

You can use alv's in background using docking containers, but the display wont be interactive. If you search the forum you will see tons of threads which talk about running ALV's in background.

For the output to be interactive, you can run the report in foreground and do the data processing in background.
