Hiding Lines Between Columns and Rows 

Use

You are able to separate the rows and columns from one another with lines, both in the ALV output and in the design object (header, footer area). Color and thickness of the lines are determined by the system. You cannot change them.

Features

You are able to make the following settings for lines:

·        Hide lines between columns and rows

·        Display lines in the design object of the header and footer areas of a list or page

·        Display Lines Between Control Levels (Highlight Control Level Change section)
