Hi Jay

grid is very dynamic in the o/p of grid u can filter and sort and u can sum up the fields... and u can display some graphics like charts.

ALV LIST Can be coded using only FMs

ALV GRID Can be coded using FMs and object oriented concepts

ALV LIST Can be displayed hieraicharlly

ALV GRID cannot be displayed hierarichally

also these from one thread

Alv grid (using oo concept) requires

designing the screen layout .

Hence, in one screen, we can show more

then one alv grid

(we cannot show more than

one alv list on one screen)

ALV grid uses ActiveX controls

present on the Presentation Server.

Hence, it consumes More Memory

on the presentation server.

ALV LIST is Display Only.

Whereas

ALV Grid Can Be made EDITABLE for entry purpose.

In alv grid, these options are possible,

but not in alv list.

without horizontal lines

without vertical lines

without cell merging during sorts

display total lines above the entries

reward points to all helpful answers

Hi Jay,

1. For all practical purposes, they are the same.

2. Some differences:

a) from abap coding point of view,

alv list is done with Function modules,

alv gris can also be done with FM,

but can also be done using OO concepts.

b) Alv grid (using oo concept) requires

designing the screen layout .

Hence, in one screen, we can show more

then one alv grid

(we cannot show more than

one alv list on one screen)

c) ALV grid uses ActiveX controls

present on the Presentation Server.

Hence, it consumes More Memory

on the presentation server.

d) ALV LIST is Display Only.

Whereas

ALV Grid Can Be made EDITABLE for entry purpose.

e) In alv grid, these options are possible,

but not in alv list.

without horizontal lines

without vertical lines

without cell merging during sorts

display total lines above the entries

I hope it helps.

Both have same functionality but it differ in some functionalities.

list is used fm but grid can also use classes.

we can maintain html page header in layout in grid.
