Hello,
However new ALV surpass old solutions in almost every aspect, I have noticed a small limitation.
When I run the report in background (either manually or via job), I get the short dump and job is cancelled.
I know that the purpose of paging is obvious in case of transactional use, but there are plenty of usecases, when users want to get the result of the whole list from the spool (e.g. as an attachment in the e-mail).
If background job is not supported, I think, it is worth to be mentioned explicitly.
I have gone through the reference in help.sap.com and there is nothing written about background processing in Restrictions tab.
Kind regards,
Radek Gref
