Create ALV ABAP is very comment requirment for an ABAP developer.
This post will give the fastest way and the most easy way to create and display ALV in ABAP.
Create ALV in ABAP
The easiest way to create and display ALV in ABAP is to used the class??CL_SALV_TABLE.
This class CL_SALV_TABLE offers a very powerful method to create AVL ABAP.
For example,
- To initialize the ALV, use the CL_SALV_TABLE=>FACTORY method.
- no need anymore to build manually your FIELDCALATOG
- or no need to create a SAP DDIC table/structure to retrieve the FIELDCATALOG
- it is done by passing juste an internal table.
- To display, just call the method CL_SALV_TABLE=>DISPLAY
- no need to create a new screen
- display method will use the current screen
Create ALV ABAP Sample code
Here a sample code to display an ABAP internal in ALV with:
- A basic layout setting including ABAP ALV title
- Optimized Columns size
- Renaming of Columns text
- and a tool bar
First, let start with all the ABAP Declaration to make

Second, the ABAP Code to create and display an ALV the fast way.
