What is the difference between alv list and alv grid?

When will we use list and when will we use grid?

[Former Member]

Grid contains Tabular column and list does not contain tabular column.

We will use grid when ever req need have company logo and tabular column.

where as in list we can not display logo and it does not have tabular column.

if you want to show header level and item level data ,we need go for list type.

where as grid it is not possible.

Hi,

1. For all practical purposes, they are the same.

2. Some differences:

a) from abap coding point of view,

alv list is done with Function modules,

alv gris can also be done with FM,

but can also be done using OO concepts.

b) Alv grid (using oo concept) requires

designing the screen layout .

Hence, in one screen, we can show more

then one alv grid

(we cannot show more than

one alv list on one screen)

c) ALV grid uses ActiveX controls

present on the Presentation Server.

Hence, it consumes More Memory

on the presentation server.

d) ALV LIST is Display Only.

Whereas

ALV Grid Can Be made EDITABLE for entry purpose.

e) 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

I hope it helps.
