Working with Lists
Use
To display large amounts of data clearly, you can group it into lists, that is, into structures similar to tables that consist of columns and rows.
Lists are often used to display data that is organized into hierarchies. In the SAP system, lists display the following information:
● Report analyses
● Search results
● Possible input values (in some cases)
SAP List Viewer (ALV)
To be able to use a list optimally within an application, you need a number of functions with which you can adapt the display of data to your needs. These functions are provided by SAP List Viewer (ALV).
With ALV, you can sort and filter data, make calculations, and so on.
Depending on the GUI technology that your application uses, ALV displays the functions in different ways. The way you work with the lists therefore differs slightly in the various applications. Documentation is available for the following variants of ALV:
