These moments are explained better in this excellent answer. Well, learn something new every day. I haven't used that FM in ages, and when I did we usually created structures in the DB, probably because of the issue you mention. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google.

The common desired features of any report are "column alignment", sorting, filtering, subtotals, totals etc. To implement these from scratch , a lot of coding effort is to be put. Each of these reports provide function modules which help in producing desired output without much effort.

Lets look at them in detail —. This function module is used to populate a field catalog which is essential to display the data in ALV. If the output data is from a single dictionary table and all the columns are selected, then we need not exclusively create the field catalog. But in other cases we need to create it.

Note : Fieldcatalog can be filled manually also by filling up all the required details into the internal table. If the field is initialized, the event is ignored.

Note:Grid cannot handle high volumes. There is no clear cut definition such that if the amount of data is X go for list or grid but the developer has to take a call based on his experience. If not sure, then list is the better option. This looks like a simple report but this report has the features of sorting and filtering only.

This report is used if you have to display more than one report on the output. Technically speaking if you have multiple internal table with data to be displayed as separate blocks then we go for block report of ALV. This function module is used to set the default gui status etc.
