Differences between normal list and ALV list

Hi All,
  where can i find the differences between a Normal SAP List and ALV List(Documentation part).

Imagine you have to write a report that lists out customer addresses. You will write code to get the input from the user via selection screen and then read the data based on the seletion from the database into an internal table(or a set of internal tables). Now once you have the data you will need to output this. In normal list reports, you will have to use 'WRITE' statements to format the output into columns and rows. Now suppose user wants some interactivity in it. Then  you will have to provide some buttons and/or menu options through custom pf-status and then write logic for reacting to the user actions. After writing many such reportsm, you will feel like some of this can generalized and reused in every report.
That is exactly what ALV does. It takes out most of repeated sections of the code from out of you and provides you with excellent outputting functionality. It provides many standard functions like 'print', 'sort', 'filter', 'sum' etc by default. Imagine writing code yourself for all these if you were writing normal list program. One more major difference is the editing feature. If you were write a program that gives the user with editing features, then you will have to write a lot of logic. But with ALV, all the features like adding a row, deleting a row, copying a row, editing some fields of a row etc come by default.
Likewise, interactivity has become quite easy to implement. Like double clicking on a customer number, if the user wants to go to display customer transaction, it is very easy using ALV.
As pointed out here by others, go through the documentation of ALV and go through some of those demo programs and you will know the difference. ALV takes out a lot of burden of coding everything away from you and lets you worry about the business functionality that your report provides, rather than formatting the output or providing interactivity to the output.
Hope this helps,
Srinivas

  • Difference between normal funcation and ALV funcational module

    Hi Gurus,
    Please answer for this question
    what is the differnce between normal funcation and ALV funcational module ?
    Thanks/Radha.

    Hi,
    There are two ways of reporting List report and alv report.
    the normal write statement usage gives us  a listt report.
    But ALV report offers a good asthetic report output. It almost function as your Excel File .
    You can do many functions Total ,Subtotaling,sorting,filtering,
    etc.
    There two ways to do ALV report i.e. using function module REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY and using OOPS concept.

  • Difference between Interactive report and ALV Interactive report.

    What is the difference between Interactive report and ALV Interactive report.
    i think there is no much difference the same Interactive report Events and functionality we will implement with ALV.
    Experts guide me.

    Hi,
    ALV interactive report gives many advantages than interactive report like sorting, summing and getting graphics.
    An interactive report generally basic list displayed. User double clicks on any valid line or user selects a line and presses as button on the tool bar. Then the corresponding event is triggered

  • Difference between Combo Box and Dropdown List

    Hi All,
    I would like to know the difference between the elements 'Combo box' and 'Dropdown List' in VC. I am facing an issue where i am invoking an entry list and the output of the first element the entry list returns is getting reflected as the output for all the elements...
    So even if 2nd and 3rd row of the o/p from the entry list is giving only 2 items, if the 1st row returns only 1 then we are able to see only 1 item. Its as if the 1st row decides the items to be returned for all the rows.
    Please help.

    Hi Hezi,
    I have 2 columns in my table. First column is 'material number' and the 2nd one is 'production version'. There can 1,2 or 3 production version for each material. [This information is stored in the backend] This is retrieved through a method which invokes a bapi which in turn retrieves from the backend.
    I have provided a dropdown list for the 'production version' column. Lets say there are 2 rows. Material 1 and material 2. Lets say material 1 has 1 production version and material 2 has 2 production version. So rightfully speaking i should have 1 option in the dropdown for material 1 and 2 for material 2.
    But what i seeing is only 1 option for both the materials. This is wrong.
    Is there something that can be done to ensure that each row reflects the correct no. of options in the dropdown?

  • Difference between modal screen and normal screen

    Hi everyone,
      Now,I am developing a dypro. when I create a modal screen ,I found no difference between normal screen and modal screen.
      eg. If I use the statement "call screen" , whatever which type of screen you use, the results look like the same. The same to the statement "call screen start at end at".

    Hi
    Screen type for modal dialog box
    If you activate this attribute, the screen is used as a modal dialog box. In the program, you call the screen with
    CALL SCREEN  STARTING AT  <top left>
                 ENDING   AT  <bottom right>.
    Unlike normal pop-ups, a modal dialog box has its own pushbuttons and title. There is no menu bar and command field entries are not possible.
    Normal screen type
    If you activate this attribute, the screen is flagged as a normal screen. This is the default setting.
    Alternatively, it may have the following special functions:
    Subscreen
    Modal dialog box
    Selection screen
    Class screen
    In the Screen Painter, you can choose between normal, subscreen, and modal dialog box.
    Selection screen and class screen attributes are assigned by the system.

  • Diff between normal RDMS and BW RDMS

    Hi all,
    Please let me know if there is any difference between normal RDMS and BW RDMS?
    Thanks and Regards
    Satish

    The underying data store is a relational database.  BW runs on Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, and others. I believe Oracle has between 2/3 and 3/4 of the installations currently.
    As Patrick mentions, BW is a data warehouse rather than an OLTP system that processes transactions like the R3 system does.
    A major differnce however is that the bulk of BW querying is done against an OLAP cube. Since the queries actually run against an underlying relational DB, this is sometimes referred to as ROLAP. This is compared to say, Hyperion or Cognos, that have their own proprietary multi-dimension datastores (known as MOLAP). While some querying is done against "flat" tables (ODS), the power of BW is it's ability to support slice and dice analytical querying using an OLAP multi-dimensional cube.  The InfoCube, as SAP calls it, uses a star schema design, and SAP refer to their design as an "extended star schema".
    When a user submits a query, a conventional SQL query is run against the database and the results of that query are transferred to an OLAP processor that supports the slice and dice analysis.
    It starts to get more confusing as Oracle also has it's own MOLAP data store, but SAP does not use it.  If you run your BW on Microsoft SQL Server, the data can then be transfered to MS's MOLAP datastore for analysis.
    Simple question, but a not so simple answer I'm afraid.

  • ALV Grid and ALV List difference?

    Hello,
    Can you help me differentiate ALV List and ALV grid and the low-level definition or context of each?
    Also, can you give me a transaction code that outputs an ALV list as well as a tcode for ALV grid?
    Thanks,
    Jennah

    Hi Kirtish,
    Thanks but I  havent done any function module stuff as I am not an ABAPer but anyway can you guide me through thios?
    "I hope this might slove your query. For more please refer to documentation on ALV and also implement the ALV LIST and GRID reports. By using class Class CL_GUI_ALV_GRID, Function module REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY , REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY and some more functions like that only."
    I will give you some tcode can you please try tcode FBL1n? then execute the report. What is the output is it an ALV list?
    I wish to see an ALV list also an ALV grid to see difference.

  • List of differences between PSE 40 and PSE30

    A lot of users are asking what are the differences between PSE 30 and PSE 40.
    This Thread provides information on this subject. First, you will find information copied from the section "New Features" of the useful "Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 User Guide". Then later on, you might find additional information on the same subject provided by users of PSE.
    --- Start of copy of information in the PSE 4.0 User Guide ----
    1 What's new in PSE 4.0
    1.1 Editing and selection
    1.1.1 Magic Selection Brush tool
    Easily and accurately select portions of your photos using this new tool in either Standard Edit and Quick Fix. Simply scribble or place dots on the object you want to select -no need to precisely outline the object- and Adobe Photoshop Elements selects the object for you. You can add to or subtract from the selection by using additional tools in the options bar. (See User Guide "To use the Magic Selection Brush tool" on page 193.)
    1.1.2 Magic Extractor.
    Easily select an object in a photo and extract it from its background. Just scribble or place dots on
    the object you want to extract; then scribble or place dots on the background, and Photoshop Elements separates the object from its background. This tool is perfect for creating composites or scrapbook images. (See User Guide "To use the Magic Extractor" on page 194.)
    1.1.3 Skin tone adjustment
    Click an area of skin and watch the tonal balance of all colors in the photo improve. If you
    want, you can also manually adjust the color by using color sliders. (See User Guide "To adjust the color of skin tone" on page 224.)
    1.1.4 Red eye removal
    Automatically remove red eye during import, or select one or more files and easily remove red eye
    in either the Organizer or the Editor. (See User Guide "To remove red eye" on page 249.)
    1.1.5 Defringe
    Automatically remove the colored specs or halo around the edges of a selection. (See User Guide "To defringe a Selection" on page 200.)
    1.1.6 Straighten tool
    Straighten and crop crooked photos by drawing a horizontal or vertical line in the image. Photoshop
    Elements aligns the photo to that line. (See User Guide "To straighten an image" on page 243.)
    1.1.7 WYSIWYG font menu
    What you see is what you get -see what each font looks like from within the font menu. (See
    User Guide "To choose a font family and style" on page 332.)
    1.2 Sharing and printing
    1.2.1 One-click printing (US, Canada, Japan only)
    Order prints and professional hardbound photo books directly from Photoshop Elements simply by dragging the items to the Order Prints palette. (See User Guide "To use the Order Prints palette (US, Canada, Japan only)" on page 401.)
    1.2.2 Slide shows on TV
    If you have Windows¨ XP Media Center 2005 installed, you can view your Photoshop Elements
    slide shows on your TV and navigate using your TV remote control. (See User Guide "To output a slide show" on page 354.)
    1.3 Tagging and organizing
    1.3.1 Face tagging
    Select a group of photos and let Photoshop Elements isolate and display all the faces so that you can
    quickly tag them. The Find Faces dialog box displays thumbnails of each face until you tag it. (See User Guide "To automatically find faces for tagging" on page 101.)
    1.3.2 Search by metadata
    Search for a variety of metadata criteria, such as file name, file type, shutter speed, camera
    model, date, and tags. You can search on multiple criteria at once. (See User Guide "To find photos by details (metadata)" on page 89.)
    1.3.3 PDF support
    Manage and tag PDF files in the Organizer. PDF files remain intact as one file that you can tag. Open
    the PDF in the Editor to extract individual pages. (See User Guide "To open a PDF file" on page 148.)

    Jorge,
    With this type of Mapping (also called Reverse Mapping) you can map the context of an using component, to that of the used component.
    You can find an example of this concept in WDA ALV: If you look at component SALV_WD_TABLE (which you declare as used when you intend to use ALV), you'll see that it has a node DATA declared as external. In your using component, you map your actual data node to this node.
    This allows the ALV to leave the DATA node type open and so to be reused, adjusting it's structure depending on the using component's data.

    Made a mistake! Have not used this in a while...Ext. mapping is the OTHER way...Using -map-> Used Fixed.

  • Difference between BEx tansport and normal transport

    Dear Experts,
    Could someone please explain the difference between normal transport truck button and the truck with 'BEx' as label.
    Please let me know the context where these will be using
    Kind regards
    Shanthi

    If you press the help button this appears:
    <b>Transporting BEx Objects</b>
      BEx objects (queries and workbooks) are transported differently in BI to
      other objects. When you maintain these objects, you do not get a dialog
      box asking you to create a transport request. Instead, an administrator
      has to generate requests for these objects in the Data Warehousing
      Workbench (function area Transport Connection).
    <b>Standard BEx Transport Requests</b>
      All BEx objects that have been transported already and have therefore
      been assigned to a package, are written to a standard BEx request
      whenever they are changed. This request is set by the administrator. All
      changes are written to this request regardless of the current user.
      When this request is released, the administrator needs to create a new
      BEx request immediately. If there is no request stored as a BEx request,
      you are not able to process queries or workbooks.
    <b>BEx Transport Requests for Single Packages</b>
    In some cases, one request is not big enough for all the BEx objects.
    This can be the case, for example, if you want to transport objects from
    a development system into various different productive systems.
    If this happens, you can create BEx request for each package. The BEx
    objects are distributed among the different requests according to their
    package. The package specifies among other things the transport target
    of an object, and this means that you are able to use this process to
    put BEx objects that you want to transport to different transport
    targets into different requests.
    If you do not create a special request for the package of an object, the
    object is written to the standard BEx transport request.
    Remember to create a new request as soon as one request is released.
    Hope it helps.
    BR
