ALV Grid, you can make it as interactive. Means by changing the data on the grid will also change the data in the underlying data base (Need to hadle bit of code for this).

For ALV List this feature is not possible.

List will display simple list , data in tabular form.

Grid will have more features and more user friendly.

Hi ,

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.

Regards,

Mamta
