Object oriented ALV – SAP Netweaver 2004
SAP has introduced a new programming model to develop Object Oriented ALV (OO ALV) using class
CL_SALV family class.

 Simplified design: This Model uses a highly integrated object oriented design which provides the
simplicity to programmers to develop the ALV.

 Unified Object models: This model has only one main class which will get and set the
parameters of entire layout.
