Hi Jey,
You can fit ALV grid to monitor size by defining the container as docking container.
In this case, you neednot create a custom container .
You can use the following code:
  CONSTANTS: lc_height TYPE i VALUE 1200.
DATA: go_container       TYPE REF TO cl_gui_docking_container,
      go_alv_tree        TYPE REF TO cl_gui_alv_tree.
    CREATE OBJECT go_container
      EXPORTING
        repid                       = sy-repid
        dynnr                       = sy-dynnr
        side                        = 2                        " Top
        extension                   = lc_height
        metric                      = 1                        " Pixel
      EXCEPTIONS
        cntl_error                  = 1
        cntl_system_error           = 2
        create_error                = 3
        lifetime_error              = 4
        lifetime_dynpro_dynpro_link = 5
        OTHERS                      = 6.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      MESSAGE x398(00) WITH 'ERROR'(100).
    ENDIF.
  CREATE OBJECT go_alv_tree
    EXPORTING
      parent                      = go_container
      node_selection_mode         = cl_gui_column_tree=>node_sel_mode_single
      item_selection              = c_x
      no_toolbar                  = ''
    EXCEPTIONS
      cntl_error                  = 1
      cntl_system_error           = 2
      create_error                = 3
      lifetime_error              = 4
      illegal_node_selection_mode = 5
      failed                      = 6
      illegal_column_name         = 7.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE x398(00) WITH 'ERROR'.
  ENDIF.
Code above is for ALV tree.
You can define any ALV grid object using docking container.
This will solve your problem.
Let me know if you face any issues.
