not sure since i didnt use a list by now, but well normally a list is something like a list-box, while a alv_grid is more like a grid-box or a hierarchical grid-box.

Hi,

Both are almost same in functionality..

Grid provides grid view more attractive, where as list does not..

You have to use reuse_alv_commentary_write" FM for the header in the GRID display, where as in list you can just write "WRITE" statements and align them in LIST..

Rest all are same..Please try to use both in a sample report you will find the difference yourself..

rewards if useful,

Hi,

alv list

this is static list just like the classical reports

and we cannot change the field positons after the list got displayed

but we can do the interchange of field positions in grid display

and once we get the list we cannot increase or decreas the width of each

column which is possible in ALv Grid

we can have multiple alv list displays one by one which is not possible with

the grid disply ...

grid will be looking some what user friendly and list will not

if you see in the table entries in any table

we can change the layout from list to grid also

there we can see the option of getting f4 help for a field which is not there in list

thanks & regards,

ALV LIST Can be coded using only FMs

ALV GRID Can be coded using FMs and object oriented concepts

ALV LIST Can be displayed hieraicharlly

ALV GRID cannot be displayed hierarichally

ALV grid uses ActiveX controls

present on the Presentation Server.

Hence, it consumes More Memory

on the presentation server.

ALV LIST is Display Only.

Whereas

ALV Grid Can Be made EDITABLE for entry purpose.

In alv grid, these options are possible,

but not in alv list.

without horizontal lines

without vertical lines

without cell merging during sorts

display total lines above the entries
