hi

the basic criteria is

1) Display quality

2) Additional functionality

3) Your Need

<b>criteria to choose between the grid and list display. </b>

Grid cannot handle high volumes.

Functions like sort, scrolling down are possible with grid

<b>block report</b>

This report is used if you have to display more than one report on the output. Technically speaking if you have multiple internal table with data to be displayed as separate blocks then we go for block report of ALV

<b>Hierarchical display</b>

Hierarchical display is used for displaying data that are related. Like sales order and item details. Here sales order details can be the header data whereas them items in the sales order can be the item data

Hope this helps

<b>if it helped, you can acknowledge the same by rewarding</b>

Hi Smitha,

Some more to add the alv details are :

All the definitions of internal tables, structures and

constants are declared in a type-pool called SLIS.

<b>1. SIMPLE REPORT.</b>

The important function modules are

a. Reuse_alv_list_display

b. Reuse_alv_fieldcatalog_merge

c. Reuse_alv_events_get

d. Reuse_alv_commentary_write

e. Reuse_alv_grid_display

A. REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY : This is the function

module which prints the data.

The important parameters are :

I. Export :

i. I_callback_program : report id

ii. I_callback_pf_status_set : routine where a user can

set his own pf status or change the functionality of the

existing pf status

iii. I_callback_user_command : routine where the function

codes are handled

iv. I_structure name : name of the dictionary table

v. Is_layout : structure to set the layout of the report

vi. It_fieldcat : internal table with the list of all fields and

their attributes which are to be printed (this table can

be populated automatically by the function module

REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE

vii. It_events : internal table with a list of all possible

events of ALV and their corresponding form names.

II. Tables :

i. t_outtab : internal table with the data to be output

B. REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE : This

function module is used to populate a fieldcatalog which

is essential to display the data in ALV. If the output

data is from a single dictionary table and all the

columns are selected, then we need not exclusively

create the field catalog. Its enough to mention the table

name as a parameter(I_structure name) in the

REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY. But in other cases we

need to create it.

The Important Parameters are :

I. Export :

i. I_program_name : report id

ii. I_internal_tabname : the internal output table

iii. I_inclname : include or the report name where all

the dynamic forms are handled.

II Changing

ct_fieldcat : an internal table with the type

SLIS_T_FIELDCAT_ALV which is

declared in the type pool SLIS.

C. REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET : Returns table of

possible events for a list type

Parameters :

I. Import :

Et_Events : The event table is returned with all possible

CALLBACK events

for the specified list type (column 'NAME'). For events

to be processed by Callback, their 'FORM' field must be

filled. If the field is initialized, the event is ignored. The

entry can be read from the event table, the field

'FORM' filled and the entry modified using constants

from the type pool SALV.

II. Export :

I_List_type :

0 = simple list REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY

1 = hierarchcal-sequential list

REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY

2 = simple block list

REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_APPEND

3 = hierarchical-sequential block list

REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_HS_APPEND

D. REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE : This is used

in the Top-of-page event to print the headings and

other comments for the list.

Parameters :

I. it_list_commentary : internal table with the headings of

the type slis_t_listheader.

This internal table has three fields :

Typ : ‘H’ – header, ‘S’ – selection , ‘A’ - action

Key : only when typ is ‘S’.

Info : the text to be printed

E. REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY : A new function in 4.6

version, to display the results in grid rather than as a

preview.

Parameters : same as reuse_alv_list_display

This is an example for simple list.

<b>2. BLOCK REPORT</b>

This is used to have multiple lists continuously.

The important functions used in this report are:

A. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_INIT

B. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_APPEND

C. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_HS_APPEND

D. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_DISPLAY

A. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_INIT

Parameters:

I. I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM

II. I_CALLBACK_PF_STATUS_SET

III. I_CALLBACK_USER_COMMAND

This function module is used to set the default gui

status etc.

B. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_APPEND

Parameters :

Export :

I. is_layout : layout settings for block

II. it_fieldcat : field catalog

III. i_tabname : internal table name with output data

IV. it_events : internal table with all possible events

Tables :

i. t_outtab : internal table with output data.

This function module adds the data to the block.

Repeat this function for all the different blocks to be

displayed one after the other.

C. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_HS_APPEND

This function module is used for hierarchical sequential

blocks.

D. REUSE_ALV_BLOCK_LIST_DISPLAY

Parameters : All the parameters are optional.
