Automatic creation of ALV Reports

www.ALVROBOT.com.ar is intended to help ABAP programmers on the creation of ALV reports by automatically generating source code using a specially designed template.
This way ALV reports get done easier and faster. Also, as they are all made from the same template, standards get honored. The generated source is not messy nor complicated. Is as readable, simple and straight-forward as any other program created by yourself!


Steps
Just enter to
www.ALVROBOT.com.ar and follow the wizard (7 steps). All you have to tell the wizard is:
  1. The tables involved in the report.
  2. The fields of the selection screen.
  3. The Fields of the ALV report.

By the end, will get the source code for your report.

  1. Copy the source code given in the textbox.
  2. Using the SE38 transaction, create a new program.
  3. Paste the source code in it.
  4. Compile.
  5. Go! You are ready to run the program.

Conclusion
As we have said in the previous pages, ALV robot is intended to help the programmers in the programming of ALV reports. Using a template and a couple of questions, it takes care of most of the typing needed to create the source code of the report.

As the reports generated are neither complex nor contain complex queries, you may find usefull to use this site to create a base report for later enhacement. Since the source code given is simple, clean and straigh-forward, you may easily do that and won't get messed in the source code.

amazing link dude.
but you'd have to know ins and outs of the alv reporting, after that this is just like creating the BDC automatically.
thanls again.
