Overview
ALV with IDA (SAP List Viewer with Integrated Data Access) helps tables that contain very large quantities
of data to be displayed on the UI. The results of operations such as sorting, grouping, or ltering are also
delivered with a very fast response time. It uses the in-memory database, such as SAP HANA, without
having to switch to a new programming environment. There is no change in the User interface and standard
functions (also ALV services). ALV functions are adjusted to the use of in-memory databases. The new
general programming model (Coding Pushdown) is also optimally supported when using in-memory
databases.
Examples
Example#1: Display Sales Order Details
Following example demonstrates how to display sales order with SALV IDA.
Output:
Check DB Capabilities
CHECK cl_salv_gui_table_ida=>db_capabilities( )->is_table_supported( iv_ddic_table_name = ‘VBAK’).
Create IDA
DATA(o_ida) = cl_salv_gui_table_ida=>create( iv_table_name = ‘VBAK’ ).
Set Maximum Rows Recommended
IF cl_salv_gui_table_ida=>db_capabilities( )->is_max_rows_recommended( ).
o_ida->set_maximum_number_of_rows( iv_number_of_rows = 2000 ).
ENDIF.
Display
o_ida->fullscreen( )->display( ).

Example#5: Calculation Fields
We can also display calculated elds apart from the Standard database table elds using calculation elds
Implement Calculation eld Handler
Interface: IF_SALV_IDA_CALC_FIELD_HANDLER
Step#1: De ne Structure with custom elds.
In our case we have two calculation elds namely TAXAMOUNT and NETAMOUNT
Step#2: Implement method to get calculation eld structure
Register Structure type to the SALV IDA Grid
Step#3: Implement method to get requested elds
What are the database elds needed to calculate the custom calculation elds
Step#4: Implement method to calculate Line
Perform the Calculation

Hi,
We are using the ALV IDA in our project and we noticed that the layout button of the ALV list is placed on
the extreme right as shown below:
and other icons are on the left side.
Our client wants to display all the buttons together on the left side.
Is there any way to align the layout button to left.
Thanks in advance!!!
