Mastering Hierarchical Data Display with REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY in ABAP

 

REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY :-

REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY is a function module in ABAP used to display hierarchical sequential lists in ALV (ABAP List Viewer). Here are some key points about it:

  1. Hierarchical Sequential List: This function module is particularly useful when you need to display data that has a hierarchical structure, such as organizational charts, bill of materials, or product categories.
  2. ALV Integration: ALV provides a powerful tool for displaying data in tabular format with various functionalities like sorting, filtering, and subtotaling. REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY extends this capability to hierarchical data structures.
  3. Parameters: The function module takes various parameters to define the structure of the ALV output. Parameters include field catalog, layout structure, and hierarchical sequential table.
  4. Field Catalog: The field catalog defines the structure of the ALV output, including the columns to be displayed and their properties such as headers, widths, and visibility.
  5. Layout Structure: The layout structure specifies additional settings for the ALV display, such as default sorting, subtotaling, and grouping options.
  6. Hierarchical Sequential Table: This is the main input parameter containing the hierarchical data to be displayed. It typically consists of parent-child relationships, with each record representing a node in the hierarchy.
  7. Event Handling: The function module provides event handling mechanisms to customize the behavior of the ALV display. Events include node expand/collapse, double-click, and context menu actions.
  8. Enhancement Options: REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY offers various enhancement options to customize the appearance and functionality of the ALV output. These include adding custom toolbar buttons, context menu entries, and additional data fields.
  9. Performance Considerations: Displaying large hierarchical datasets can impact performance, especially if extensive calculations or database operations are involved. Proper indexing and data retrieval strategies should be employed to optimize performance.
  10. Compatibility: While REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY is a powerful tool for displaying hierarchical data, it's essential to ensure compatibility with the target SAP system and the specific ALV version being used. Compatibility issues may arise when migrating between different SAP releases or when integrating with custom ALV frameworks.

Understanding these points can help developers effectively utilize REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY to present hierarchical data in an intuitive and user-friendly manner within ABAP applications.


Let’s take a requirement to develop a report using above function module.

Requirement :-



  • In the above diagram we are displaying using the above function module.
  • We have 5 fields from VBAK table and 5 fields from VBAP table
  • From VBAK we will be taking VBELN, ERDAT, ERZET, ERNAM, VBTYP.
  • From VBAP we will be taking VBELN POSNR MATNR.

Solution :-

  • Step 1 :- Create a executable program in ABAP Editor.

  • Step 2 :- Declare type structure for both the header and item tables.



  • Step 3 :- declare internal table and work area for the both the type structures.



  • Step 4 :- declare a select option to take input from selection screen.



  • Step 5 :- Write select queries to fetch data from both the tables.



  • Step 6 :- write down the field catalog for the tables.



  • Step 7 :- Call the function module ‘REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY’.
