Exception CNTL_ERROR raised when using REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY

Question

Hi,
I would like to ask your help concerning the following issue. I have a program called ZBAL_ZSTOCK2 which uses the following FM :
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
    EXPORTING
      i_interface_check       = 'X'
      i_buffer_active            = space
      i_callback_program    = g_program
      is_layout                   = gs_layout
      it_fieldcat                  = gt_fieldcat[]
      it_sort                       = gt_sort[]
      i_save                       = 'A'
      is_variant                  = gs_variant
      it_events                   = gt_events[]
      is_print                     = gs_print
    IMPORTING
      e_exit_caused_by_caller   = g_exit_caused_by_caller
      es_exit_caused_by_user   = gs_exit_caused_by_user
    TABLES
      t_outtab                    = it_alv[]
    EXCEPTIONS
      program_error            = 1
      OTHERS                   = 2.
It works fine when I run it in foreground.
This program is called from another program, using the statement:
SUBMIT  zbal_zstock2
      USING SELECTION-SET  varianta
      WITH SELECTION-TABLE rspar
      EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY AND RETURN.
In this last case, the program ZBAL_ZSTOC2 short dumps during of execution of FM - 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY', method SET_VISIBLE, with following explanation:
Error analysis
    A RAISE statement in the program "CL_GUI_CONTROL================CP" raised the
     exception
    condition "CNTL_ERROR".
    Since the exception was not intercepted by a superior
    program, processing was terminated.
The line where the error is raised into method SET_VISIBLE is:
16 * check handle
  17   IF ME->H_CONTROL IS INITIAL.
>>>>     RAISE CNTL_ERROR.
  19   ENDIF.
Do you have any idea how to avoid this short dump?
I appreciate any suggestion.
Thank you in advance,
M

You cannot use ALV GRID in background. You need to go for ALV LIST Function Module.
PLease search with ALV GRID BACKGROUND in the search field of SCN. You will get lot many posts related to this and solutions are given.
