Create ALV with class CL_SALV_TABLE

Example of implementation in SE38 : SALV_DEMO_TABLE_SELECTIONS.

Simply display ALV table


  DATA : go_alv_table TYPE REF TO CL_SALV_TABLE.

  TRY.
      cl_salv_table=>factory(
        IMPORTING
          r_salv_table = go_alv_table
        CHANGING
          t_table      = gt_table_to_display ).
    CATCH cx_salv_msg.
  ENDTRY.

  " Optimize columns width
  DATA(lo_columns) = go_alv_table->get_columns( ).
  lo_columns->set_optimize( ).

  " Apply zebra style to lv_rows
  DATA(lo_display) = go_alv_table->get_display_settings( ).
  lo_display->set_striped_pattern( cl_salv_display_settings=>true ).

  " Display ALV
  go_alv_table->display( ).
