Introduction
The SAP List Viewer is a generic tool that outputs data in a table form (rows and columns), with integrated functions to manipulate output (sort, totals, filter, column order, hide, etc.) and export it (Excel, Crystal report, CSV files, etc.) It is also possible to make ALV editable via ALV control. ALV name comes from "ABAP List Viewer", as named initially because it was only available in ABAP. It is now a more general concept, which is available in java too (since 7.1). ALV tool proposes 3 display types (schemes are taken from the sap library - An Overview of ALV Tools) and in several technologies: Display types: Simple list:

Add Header to ALV report

Added by Guest, last edited by Guest on Feb 23, 2008 In order to insert a report heading in to the ALV grid you need to perform the following steps: 1. Update 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' FM call to include 'top-of-page' FORM 2. Create 'top-of-page' FORM

Check the following code: call function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' exporting i_callback_program = gd_repid i_callback_top_of_page = 'TOP-OF-PAGE' "see FORM is_layout = gd_layout it_fieldcat = fieldcatalog[] i_save = 'X' tables t_outtab = it_ekko exceptions program_error = 1 others = 2.

------------------------------------------------------------------Form TOP-OF-PAGE * ------------------------------------------------------------------ALV Report Header * ------------------------------------------------------------------Form top-of-page. *ALV Header declarations data: t_header type slis_t_listheader, wa_header type slis_listheader, t_line like wa_header-info, ld_lines type i, ld_linesc(10) type c.

Title wa_header-typ = 'H'. wa_header-info = 'EKKO Table Report'. append wa_header to t_header. clear wa_header.

Date wa_header-typ = 'S'. wa_header-key = 'Date: '. CONCATENATE sy-datum+6(2) '.' sy-datum+4(2) '.' sy-datum(4) INTO wa_header-info. "todays date append wa_header to t_header. clear: wa_header.

Total No. of Records Selected describe table it_ekko lines ld_lines. ld_linesc = ld_lines. concatenate 'Total No. of Records Selected: ' ld_linesc into t_line separated by space. wa_header-typ = 'A'.

wa_header-info = t_line. append wa_header to t_header. clear: wa_header, t_line. call function 'REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE' exporting it_list_commentary = t_header. i_logo = 'Z_LOGO'. endform.
