Call two ALV tables in fullscreen

Issue: Create a Report with 2 ALV tables. These should open in full screen and take the maximum amount of space available on the screen. This one is for ABAP beginners.

There is a Report by Ruchi Tiwari which do nearly the same, but use a fixed sized custom control.

• Create an empty Dynpro with screen number 2000. Create the PBO (status_2000) and PAI (user_command_2000) within forward navigation. I didn’t change the names. You can use includes but is quiet a god idea for real life use, but in this example I’ll put all code in my program “file”.
• Add a status, because there will be a point in time, where you wish to leave the program( or not 🙂 )

• Add the PAI code for the exit. Your PBO and PAi should now look like this.

          Now you should be able to call the programm and leave it with the exit button.

• Add the code to the Programm:

“Data for output

DATA: lv_splitter TYPE REF TO cl_gui_splitter_container.  “The splitter itself
