Running Object Oriented ALV in background

[Former Member]

Hi, All,

I have a normal report in which i am displaying the output as a grid using object oriented ALV.

I have not created any screens for this.I am using Factory functions.

Now this program should also run in background.Is job scheduling in SM36 is enough or should I write any special code for this?

Thanks,

Sandeep.

Hi,

No the OO ALV will take care of this and switch to a printed version in the background.

Hi Darren,

Do you mean to say that I can directly schedule the job in SM36?

Thanks,

You don't have to write additional code. Look at the example that SAP provides:

REPORT  SALV_DEMO_TABLE_REAL_SIMPLE.

data: gt_outtab type table of SFLIGHT.
data: gr_table  type ref to cl_salv_table.

*... Select data
  select * from SFLIGHT into corresponding fields of table gt_outtab.

*... Create Instance
  call method cl_salv_table=>factory
    IMPORTING
      R_SALV_TABLE = gr_table
    changing
      t_table      = gt_outtab.


*... Display table
  gr_table->display( ).

This program runs perfectly in background. The ALV class switches automatically to a list display when it discovers that it was called by a background task.
