REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY and REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY

[AJeB]

HI I am currently using  REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY with layout like this

now i tried to change the function module to REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY and copied the Import/Export parameters used in REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY but the layout is different 

How to achieve the layout like in REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY to REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY?

If you need to refactor the code, why not just change from the (obsolete) Function Modules to the Class-based "CL_SALV_TABLE" ALV-grid? SAP-Help SAP ALV : link

Absolutely. It amazes me that people are still using technology that was introduced over 20 years ago - and has been obsolete for more than 15 years!

I agree with Nic. And I also have the question: which good reason do you have to abandon REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY?

I need to add more text in the top_of_page, but if I add more text in the top_of_page the screen will become like this
80% height for top of page and 20% for the item report list

currently the top_of_page height is not adjustable

so my solution is to change the REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY to REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY  so the height of top_of_page will become adjustable (see image below)

but my problem is the current design of ALV_LIST , I am not sure if this kind of design is possible in ALV_GRID_DISPLAY

for this object CL_SALV_TABLE
i did not use this because I will need to do more code changes
