  1. In the ALV report select a line and then right click and select the Spreadsheet option, that brings out the selections. You can change the option here. This is simpler than the above selection, because in Production running the above program would require answering too many questions.

This is simpler than the above solution (SA38:Program:SALV_BS_ADMIN_MAINTAIN), because in Production running the above program would require access to SA38. The solution given here can be done by anyone without running a program
