Web Dynpro ABAP calling another ABAP program

[Former Member]

I have a question and just want to know if it's possible or not.

Is it possible to write a Web Dynpro ABAP program that calls another ABAP program which happens to be an ALV report?

Rather than re-write the ABAP ALV report, I was wondering if it's possible to call the ABAP ALV report within a Web Dynpro ABAP program and display the results within the Web Dynpro program.

If it's not possible, then I assume it would be better to re-write the code from the ABAP ALV report in the Web Dynpro ABAP program.

Thanks

John

The ALV report in your classic program is coded to be displayed in the GUI only.

Your best bet would be to create a Function Module or Method that will return the data to be used in your ALV. Simply call the Function/Method from your Web Dynpro and then bind the table to the DATA context node of the ALV INTERFACE CONTROLLER.

Thank you.

I thought about that as an option. I will look into it.
