Difference between type lvc_t_fcat and slis_t_fieldcat_alv

[Former Member]

Can you tell me the difference between type lvc_t_fcat and slis_t_fieldcat_alv?

Both are used for field catalogue so which one is better to use?

Hi,

the field catalog using lvc_t_fcat has some better and enhanced features over the old slis_t_fieldcat_alv.

Ideally when displayed a normal ALV using these fieldcatalogs does not have any difference...

You can more enhanced features of ALV using lvc_t_fcat but these cannot be done using slis_t_fieldcat_alv

For using lvc_t_fcat, you require a screen and a container area...

Based on the requirement, use the fieldcatalogs.

Also slis_t_fieldcat_alv does not have any classes or methods but the other has so..(objecct oriented)

hi,

SLIS_T_FIELDCAT_ALV is used with alv function module.

LVC_T_FCAT is used with OO ALV .

They are Different in structures, but they both have same Functionalities in most of the cases.
