Summary
This document describes how to create an ALV using OOPS method in few steps. It will help the beginners to start with.

Procedure
Step 1: Create a container. There are 2 containers. They are docking and custom. For eg.. Create docking container. Go to SE38.Create a program. Use Pattern button to create object for docking container. Click ABAP Object Pattern radio button.Click Create object radio button.Give Instance as o_docking and class as cl_gui_docking_contianer. CREATE OBJECT o_docking EXPORTING * * * * * * * * * PARENT REPID DYNNR SIDE EXTENSION STYLE LIFETIME CAPTION METRIC RATIO * * * * * = = lifetime_default = =0 = '95' = = = = DOCK_AT_LEFT = 50 =

LIFETIME_DYNPRO_DYNPRO_LINK = 5

IF sy-subrc <> 0. * MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO * ENDIF. Step 2: Create a grid inside the container. Use Pattern button to create the same. Make the parent of grid as container. Click ABAP Object Pattern radio button.Click Create object radio button.Give Instance as o_grid and class as cl_gui_alv_grid. CREATE OBJECT o_grid EXPORTING * * * * * * * * * * * * . IF sy-subrc <> 0. * MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO * ENDIF. Step 3: Call the function LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE to get the fieldcatalog. Pass the structure name. CALL FUNCTION 'LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE' EXPORTING * I_BUFFER_ACTIVE I_STRUCTURE_NAME * I_CLIENT_NEVER_DISPLAY * I_BYPASSING_BUFFER = = = 'MARA' = 'X' WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

Click ABAP Object Pattern radio button.Click Call Method radio button.Give Instance as o_grid and Class/Interface as cl_gui_alv_grid and Method as set_table_for_first_display. w_variant-report = sy-repid.

* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO * ENDIF. Step 5: Fill the internal table itab with values by using logic. select * from mara into table itab up to 100 rows. call screen 9000. Create a screen by double clicking 9000 in the above line. Fill the description for the screen. In the flow logic, uncomment the PBO and PAI module and create those in main program (for simplicity). Step 6: Create GUI status. Create GUI Title if required.That can be done by using Display object List(Ctrl+Shift+F5).Then in left side,right click the program and create GUI Status and Title. Step 7: Free the memory occupied once the 'BACK, EXIT' or 'CANCEL' button is clicked. Use Pattern button to call the method 'FREE' of cl_gui_alv_grid and cl_gui_docking_container. Click ABAP Object Pattern radio button.Click Call Method radio button.Give Instance as o_grid and Class/Interface as cl_gui_alv_grid and Method as Free.Similarly Click Call Method radio button.Give Instance as o_docking and Class/Interface as cl_gui_docking_container and Method as Free. WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
