A Simple OOP ALV Report ( with Custom Container component in screen )

Steps to code an OOP ALV:

1) Populate an internal table with data to be displayed in the ALV report.

2) SE51 in the screen paint a Custom Container component.

3) In the report program PBO module:

a) Create an object of CL_GUI_CUSTOM_CONTAINER and associate it with the Custom
Container component in the screen.
b) Create an object of CL_GUI_ALV_GRID by setting the object of
CL_GUI_CUSTOM_CONTAINER as its parent.
c) Populate layout properties using the structure LVC_S_LAYO.
d) Populate field catalog properties using the table type LVC_T_FCAT.
e) Invoke the method SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY on the object of
CL_GUI_ALV_GRID and pass the layout, field catalog and the internal table with data.

OOP ALV With Custom Container

As part of screen design:

1) Create a screen with screen-number 0100. Also create a menu named MYMENU with
Functional Keys BACK, CANCEL, and EXIT with respective function codes. See MODULE
user_command_0100 INPUT in the code below. In a PBO module set the menu using the
command SET PF-STATUS 'MYMENU'.
2) To the layout of this screen add a customer control and name it CUST_CONT.
3) In a PBO module set the title in the title bar of the report screen, using the command
SET TITLEBAR <Title Name>.

Flow logic of screen 0100:

PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE STATUS_0100.

PROCESS AFTER INPUT.

MODULE USER_COMMAND_0100.

Allowing the user to create report variants:

In other words we are allowing the user to save and reuse the layout.

A button can be shown on the grid toolbar, allowing the user to save and reuse a layout. The button looks

like this: .

See also example in SAP standard program BCALV_GRID_09.

To do this, use the parameters IS_VARIANT and I_SAVE of the set_table_for_first_display method.

The IS_VARIANT parameter must have the structure DISVARIANT.

The I_SAVE parameter indicates the options for saving layouts. This parameter can have the
following values:
U Only user specific layouts can be saved
X Only global layouts can be saved
A Both user specific and global layouts can be saved
Space Layouts cannot be saved

In the above code modify the subroutine display_alv as highlighted below:

FORM display_alv.
DATA: ls_variant TYPE disvariant.

CREATE OBJECT r_cust_cont

EXPORTING
container_name = 'CUST_CONT'.

CREATE OBJECT r_grid

EXPORTING
i_parent = r_cust_cont.

CALL METHOD r_grid->set_table_for_first_display
EXPORTING
is_variant = ls_variant
i_save = 'A'
* I_DEFAULT = 'X'
is_layout = s_layout
CHANGING
it_outtab = t_output
it_fieldcatalog = t_fcat.
ENDFORM.

About the parameter - I_DEFAULT:

The purpose of the parameter I_DEFAULT is to either allow or disallow the end-user of the report to
select a layout (variant) as the default layout, whenever the report is executed. If a value of X is passed
to this parameter (the default value for this parameter is X) the user will be allowed to choose a particular
layout as the default layout. The user can do this in the Manage Layout option. On the other hand, if a
space is passed; then the user will not have the option to select a layout as default.
If the parameter I_DEFAULT is assigned a value of X (or if the parameter is not at all used in the call to
the method set_table_for_first_display, the Manage Layouts screen would look as below, where the
user can choose a default layout: [First create two or more layout variants for the report]

i_default = X, or Do not mention this parameter in the method call. The default value for this
parameter is X.

If the parameter I_DEFAULT is assigned a value of space, the Manage Layouts screen would look as
below, where the user has no option choose a default layout:

i_default = space (or) i_default =

Setting the Grid Title:

Modify the subroutine populate_layout as highlighted below:

FORM populate_layout .
s_layout-zebra = 'X'.
s_layout-cwidth_opt = 'X'.
s_layout-grid_title = 'Grid title text comes here.'.
ENDFORM.
