We can print alv report without displaying on screen by passing print parameters through function module REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY or REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.

Steps to print ALV Output

1. define print parameters structure

   " Workareas
   data:
   w_print            type slis_print_alv.
   

2. build w_print structure. double click on slis_print_alv structure, u will come to know what are the parameters u can pass using that structure.

   w_print-print = 'X'.
   

3. Pass w_print structure through REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY. Print parameters screen popup is displayed, Once press continue output is written to spool, after REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY function module call, we can find the spool number in sy-spono

   data:
   l_program type sy-repid.
   l_program = sy-repid.
   
   call function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
   exporting
   i_callback_program = l_program
   is_layout          = w_layout
   it_fieldcat        = i_fieldcat
   it_events          = i_events
   is_print           = w_print
   tables
   t_outtab           = i_t001
   exceptions
   program_error      = 1
   others             = 2.
   if sy-subrc  0.
   message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
   with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
   elseif sy-subrc = 0.
   "sy-spono gives u spool no..
   endif.
   

4. Once u know the spool no .. u can get the spool using the below function module

   "Variables
   data:
   l_no_of_bytes type i,
   l_pdf_spoolid like tsp01-rqident,
   l_jobname     like tbtcjob-jobname,
   l_jobcount    like tbtcjob-jobcount.
   
   call function 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'
   exporting
   src_spoolid              = g_spool_no
   no_dialog                = ' '
   importing
   pdf_bytecount            = l_no_of_bytes
   pdf_spoolid              = l_pdf_spoolid
   btc_jobname              = l_jobname
   btc_jobcount             = l_jobcount
   tables
   pdf                      = i_pdf
   exceptions
