Header and Footer Areas of the ALV Output

You can use various elements to design the areas above and below the ALV output. To do this, you use design objects.

Various elements are available that you can use to compile a design object. You then display the design object at the required position.

You need to make various decisions in addition to the design questions:

• In which ALV tool and in which display type are you using the design object?

  Not all of the options described below are available in every variant.

  You are able to handle the output on the screen and the output in the printout differently.

  • At the bottom of the whole ALV output (END_OF_LIST)

  For multiple-page ALV outputs:
