Alternatives to List Processing

According to this post (http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/List+processing), list processing is obsolete and is replaced by Dynamic Documents. However, DDs do not work with batch processing.
SALV is great and can be used in batch but what about non-column/row type reports?
The only solution i have come up with is to create a table of strings (that normally would have just been written out using the write statement) and pass those to a SmartForm for output. Anyone have a better solution?

Hi Clay,
I forgot to tell you that I added references to sap library and abap documentation in that wiki yesterday after reading your message. One thing weird is that SAP has added [new functionalities to lists in 7.1|http://sandraros.free.fr/abap_docu.htm?url=ABENNEWS-71-LISTS.htm]. But as you say, it's difficult to not use lists for batch jobs. Except maybe by using Adobe forms.

ABAP list processing statements in ABAP Objects

Hi,
Based on the Online help "The ABAP statements used for list processing are not yet fully available in ABAP Objects".
Is there any chnage planned about this for the next WAS release?
Thanks,

Hi Peter
I believe, most of the measures taken are for some compatibility and performance issues. So, there is no need to expect great changes about this.

Print List Processing Report to PDF

hi all,
i've read many forums about convert info into PDF. but i'm very new to understand those forums.
In case I want to print list processing report as PDF (not hard copy thru printer). First, user types the data on the screen then click on 'Execute' button, then the system shows the result on screen. After that user asks system for print the screen on menu bar by List=>Print.
So please advise me how to get the spool id, then export as pdf. As my opinion, i may use CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF and GUI_DOWNLOAD. But where is the place I should put the methods on?
Thanks in advance.

List processing and PF status.

Hi Team ABAP,
i got a problem in List processing.
I´m in a dypro with a table control on it. Users can mark one or more ALV lines and then e.G. press "process".
Something gets done then (some forms get printed), and after that i want to display a protocol.
First i tried to process a simple write list by using WRITE statement.
Coding got processed, but it had no effect, no write list was generated, or at least not shown on my screen.
So i tried to code a "LEAVE TO LIST PROCESSING" right before my first WRITE statement.
Well, now it works my write list is on Screen. But here start the Problem. Like i got told in the ducomentation of the LEAVE TO LIST PROCESSING statement the WRITE list gets processed with the actual active PF status from the dynpro where i came from.
1. This is quite uncool, since i do not need those Buttons in my List.
2. Even if it was ok, those buttons are not working. Typing /h in OK_CODE field and pressing ENTER doesnt help it. When after that i click a button, nothing happens, such as if i didnt click them.
I searched the forum, but i got drowned in thousands of "interactive list" threads and wasnt able to find my required info in an acceptable time of 30 minutes.
Did i do a essential error? Someone got an Idea where i´m stuck or a proposal on how to improve?
Any Help or tip will be welcome and rewared accordingly.
regards

Hi Florian,
Try if you can display the list in ALV where you can maintain the pf-status.
You can check the demo program DEMO_LEAVE_TO_LIST_PROCESSING. In this, it is setting set pf-status to space.
Hope it helps.

Leave to list-processing doesn't work

Hi 2 all!
I have a problem with LEAVE TO LIST-PROCESSING. I have developed a module pool (type M) and screen with the screen painter of type Normal. Now I want to go to the report from my screen with LEAVE TO LIST-PROCESSING, but it doesn't work. I am trying to do this when the button is pressed ( at my application status). The operation is performed but then the Init_screen_xxxx module is called again. Highly appreciate your help.

Hi Nata
Yes U can do it.
We go from module pool program to report program and vice-versa.
1. From report to screen (transaction)
       Call transaction
      Leave to list-processing and return to screen
2. From screen to list (report)
         we can write a report program for fuction key available in the screen.
          for example.
    case sy-ucomm.
      when 'fctcode'.
       select .......... from tabl   into ..
    write:/.........,
endcase.

Short Dump During List processing

Hi ,
Problem Desc:
A program when it runs in production has huge number of data to be displayed in the list .While doing the write statement the internal table(system assigned internal table for list processing '%_LIST') exceeds the memory limit and goes for dump.
Please suggest for the following for finding a better solution, I am in 4.7 only
1.Once the program reaches a maximum memory limit I have to clear the list from memory
- so how to send the processed list to other persistent area like spool etc
- How to clear the internal list memory allocation ( Any c functions , Class is available for it )
- How to catch the memory used for the list process programmatically (for Internal table %_LIST)
Thanks in advance
Best regards,
Raj

Hi Raj,
Why don't you go for prevention rather than cure?
When the user selects the data ranges for the report, you could do a calculation to determine the size of the report and then ask them to restrict the criteria. They could then run several reports rather than trying to do it all in one.
I would guess that if you are running out of memory that the report must be HUGE. Who is going to look at something that large?
You could also increase the memory allocation to each work process (although this is a bit of a sledgehammer to crack a nut).
As for your quesions:
1. I'm not sure you can persist the spool yourself, and certainly not from within your program. You could, however, spin off jobs from the main program which each had a portion of the overall data to process and thus each would generate a smaller spool (although collectively they would be the same size).
2. As I don't think you can achieve 1, I don't think there is any point to 2.
3. There was a thread discussing internal table memory consumption just today, with approaches for 6.20+ and 4.6-. Heres the link: How to catch the Internal Table memory
Cheers,
Brad

Leave to list processing

Hi all,
i've designed a selection screen in module pool and based on some selction criteria i've to display success and error records.These records should be displayed in the form of list output.
As i'm using module pool i've used LEAVE TO LIST-PROCESSING for displaying these records.As i've designed selection screen the application tool bars are appearing here on the list and no tool bar icon is functioning even though i've declared them in PF STATUS.
Now when i double click on list it has to take me to some t-code say SM35.Where should i write this AT LINE-SELECTION event?
...Regards

Hai,,
           You keep the AT-LINE SELECTION in the last only...
For Leave To List Processing ,you will try the following ..
   IF SY-UCOMM = 'Your Fn_Code'.
       LEAVE SCREEN.
       LEAVE TO LIST-PROCESSING.
    SELECT * FROM ZTable INTO TABLE ITAB.
          LOOP AT ITAB.
      WRITE:/ ITAB-ITEMNO.
     ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
Try this ..it will be useful to you..I hope..
reward points if it's useful..

Manoj.

friend
sqlldr is an application residing in the OS. procedure runs in the dbms engine.
you cannot run an os command directly from a procedure or a function or a package .
If you want to do so you need to use either a daemon process created by a PRO*C program
or a JAVA stored procedure to do so.
just refer to previous question forums, you can find the solution. Somebody has already given a solution using
java to run an OS command . check it out

Return to List Processing From Business Object Method CTREQUEST.Display

I have a simple program which displays selected TRKORR (Transport/Correction) numbers in a list on the screen. I want to be able to double click on the number and inspect the contents of these items.
The program is not pretty - its for my use only.
Anyway, the code below is tucked at the end of my program, and it works fine - double clicking will display the request. .
FORM SHOWCTS USING P_REQ.
DATA : ThisReq      TYPE SWC_OBJECT.
DATA : ReqObjectKey Like SWOTOBJID-OBJKEY .
SWC_CONTAINER        REQCONTAINER.
SWC_CREATE_CONTAINER REQCONTAINER.
move p_req to ReqObjectKey .
SWC_CREATE_OBJECT ThisReq 'CTREQUEST' ReqObjectKey .
SWC_CALL_METHOD   ThisReq 'Display'   ReqContainer .
ENDFORM.
AT LINE-SELECTION .
data l_req type TRKORR .
move sy-lisel+29(20) to l_req . CONDENSE l_req NO-GAPS .
perform showcts using l_req .
The problem is, when I exit from the CT Request, the program EXITs . The desired behavior would be to return to my list processing.
How can I return to my list upon exiting the Request display?
Thanks...
...Mike

Hi,
Try command LEAVE TO SCREEN 0 instead of EXIT.
Thanks.

Problem facing in ALV to List processing and back to ALV

HI all,
In ALV USER_COMMAND i have inserted statement 'LEAVE TO LIST-PROCESSING'. I want to display records on List processor (Classical report) which are selected from ALV.
Due to LEAVE TO LIST-PROCESSING i can see Classical report but from here i am not able to come back on ALV screen...even not on any screen because BACK button on GUI-Status is not working.
From List Status i can see same GUI status which i gave to ALV.
also i have tried giving LEAVE LIST PROCESSING but due to this though i get ALV back but i cant get List display.
Please direct how to move.
thanks,

hello~ try this

Problem with leave to list-processing and return to screen

Hi all,
I am designing a screen in which I have provided a pushbutton which will allow the user to upload (via BDC) the price list to VK11 transaction. And consequently, after upload the BDC message will be captured and displayed as an ALV list. for this, I am using leave to list-processing and return to screen 100 statement.
My problem is, when I return from the alv list screen by pressing back/any button the called screen 100 is displayed as a dialog window. but actually the screen 100 is a normal screen.
How can I rectify this problem?
Thanks,
Rajan

Leave to list processing and retun to scren 100

Once output is generated in the list i want back to main screen .
How i will prceed
regards
jithen

This will end up current calling sequence (will proceed after CALL SCREEN XXX statement). So if no other CALLs were found the program will be finished, or will go back in selection screen.
LEAVE to LIST-PROCESSING and RETURN TO SCREEN 0.
This will go back to screen XXX, if main screen is 200.
LEAVE to LIST-PROCESSING and RETURN TO SCREEN 200. "when you choose BACK, screen 200 will be called (main screen)

ALV grid to list processing and GUI status

Hi,
In a customized program the report output is in ALV grid which is interactive. On selecting a record and pressing SAVE button a BAPI runs in background. In order to display BAPI error message the leave to list-processing has been used. But GUI status is not working in list display and can not exit or go back from here to main selection screen.
when try to see program name & screen no it displays
Program - SAPLKKBL
Menu - STANDARD_FULLSCREEN
pls advise how to go back from list to main screen or ALV output.
thanks
anya

Hi Anya,
As per my understanding, this is your prog flow:
*Main ALV Display.
*Select record.
*Click on Button SAVE.
*Handle Event.
*Call BAPI for processing based on selection.
Now at this point why dont you colect the error messages from the BAPI, and display it in a POP-UP ALV display?
You need not e very much worried about the PF status and all. Also this POP-UP will be placed on the MAIN ALV. So when you close the POP-UP it will come back to the main ALV.
By this when you press the BACK button of the main ALV, it will take you back to the selection scree.
Please let me know if i am missing something.
