Areas of the ALV Output

The ALV tools can be divided into several areas. Some of these areas are in every ALV tool, but others are specially tailored to one ALV tool or to a specific display type of an ALV tool.

The following graphic shows the areas that you find in the display types in which ALV checks the whole screen:

• Simple, two-dimensional table Classic ABAP list and full screen

• Hierarchical-sequential list

• Tree Structure Fullscreen

In the display types in the container, there are fewer areas available to you:

Additionally, especially the hierarchical-sequential lists and the tree structure have areas that do not exist in the other tools.

This chapter deals with the functions that you use to edit the various areas of the ALV output:

• Header of ALV output

• Columns

• Results Rows for Calculations

• Header and Footer Areas of the ALV Output

• Areas in the Hierarchical-Sequential List

• Areas in the Tree Structure
