Hi,

It is possible to pass ALV layout in a variant to a report.

In the report you should have a selection parameter for layout.

SUBMIT <Report> with selection-table and return - Using this statement you can populate the selection screen of the report you want to call.

In the report program, you need to retrieve the layout and pass this to the ALV.

Requirement is, first create a layout in the report and save it.

In Reuse_alv_grid_display set I_SAVE = 'A' and I_Callback_program = sy-repid. Now you can see the layout edit icons in the ALV screen. Using that buttons save a variant.

Thanks and Regards,

Lakshmi.

Hi,

Pass the parameters which are marked in Bold characters.

CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'

EXPORTING

I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM = Sy-repid

I_STRUCTURE_NAME = 'OUT'

IS_LAYOUT = LAYOUT

IT_FIELDCAT = FIELDTAB

I_DEFAULT = 'A'

I_SAVE = 'A

IS_VARIANT = G_VARIANT

IT_EVENTS = EVENTS[]

IS_PRINT = PRINTS

TABLES

T_OUTTAB = OUT.

In the ALV output, Application toolbar you can find a button for changing the layout. Click on that button, choose the fields for the layout and click on SAVE. Give a name and save it.

Thanks and Regards,

Lakshmi.

Ok I have done so far all your instructions.

What is about ?

SUBMIT <Report> with selection-table and return - Using this statement you can populate the selection screen of the report you want to call.

Hi,

In your question, you asked if it is possible to pass ALV varinat to a report program. I thought you are calling this report from some other program with a layout option.

If that is not your requirement, you can simply ignore that. Now you have saved the variant. What is your next requirement?

If your program needs to display the data automatically with that layout everytime when you run, you can use FM 'REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET'. This will give you the default layout which is saved and pass this variant in REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.

Thanks and Regards,

Lakshmi.
