Can we hide some data in alv report list,if so how to hide that data.

Question

in my report for single object type i will have 3 to 4 remarks which comes in the next line, so along with that remarks i must have the same object type but it should be in a invisible mode.

Answer 1

You can do that by simply sorting the alv display by <b>object type</b>, all the data after that will be group according to its object type and the object type will only be printed once.
You can make a varian inthe ALV and call it on your code, or insert the code with this (if you use function module for creating ALV):
information for sort and subtotals
types: begin of slis_sortinfo_alv,
       spos(2) type n,
         spos like alvdynp-sortpos,
         fieldname type slis_fieldname,
         tabname type slis_fieldname,
       up(1) type c,
       down(1) type c,
       group(2) type c,
       subtot(1) type c,
         up like alvdynp-sortup,
         down like alvdynp-sortdown,
         group like alvdynp-grouplevel,
         subtot like alvdynp-subtotals,
         comp(1) type c,
         expa(1) type c,
         obligatory(1) type c,
       end of slis_sortinfo_alv.
DATA: l_v_sort TYPE slis_sortinfo_alv.
  REFRESH: ta_fieldcat, ta_sort.
  v_layout-zebra = 'X'.
  v_layout-colwidth_optimize = 'X'.
  l_v_sort-fieldname = 'OBJECTTYPE'.
  l_v_sort-spos      = 1.
  l_v_sort-up        = 'X'.
  l_v_sort-subtot    = 'X'.
  APPEND l_v_sort TO ta_sort.
  CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
    EXPORTING
      i_callback_program = v_repid
      is_layout          = v_layout
      it_fieldcat        = ta_fieldcat[]
      <b>it_sort            = ta_sort[]</b>
      it_events          = ta_events[]
      is_sel_hide        = wa_selcrit
      i_save             = 'A'
      is_variant         = spec_layout
    TABLES
      t_outtab           = ft_output
    EXCEPTIONS
      program_error      = 1
      OTHERS             = 2.
  IF sy-subrc NE 0.
    EXIT.
  ENDIF.
