3. SALV REUSE ALV ABAPBLOG.COM Why I’ve created FALV
You cannot make standard SALV editable
It happened too often that users wanted a report in display mode, but then they’ve changed their mind
SALV
I don’t like it
Procedural programming
Not all cl_gui_alv_grid options are directly available
I always ended with getting cl_gui_alv_grid object (so why don’t use it directly)
REUSE
Screen and GUI Status has to be created each time, even if you want a simple full screen report
Many times I was repeating the same methods when creating output
ALV
