Hi Pandu,

The major difference between Grid and List is,

Grid is dynamic, means you can change the column length dynamically

where as list is static, means you can not change anything there.

Hi..

In normal reports we can have max 20 Secondary lists.

But in ALV report there is no limit on this.

ALV grid allows Editing of Data. but ALV list does not allow this.

So we can use ALV grid more like a Table control also.

hi,

alv list -


similar to normal reports.

no gui representation is possible.

static lists, if we have 20 columns and only we need 10 its not possible to display only 10.

doesnt support any sorting, images ..............

alv grid -


dynamic display of report, we can do sorting , can display logos, imags, gui representation is possible. event handling can also be done.

if helpful reward some points.

with regards,

Suresh Aluri.
