I have a following issue.

I would like to display an ALV Grid always as ALV list for my user. So instead of always doing that...

Display as list

...I would like to set a variable or something in, for example, SU01 that would always show me the output as ALV list.

ALV list display

Is there a trick that would allow me to do so? The ALV grid is presented from SAP standard transaction so I do not have control over the ABAP code under the hood.

EDIT:

I have a possibility to change layout.

Change layout possibility

However the only options I have are SAP List Viewer and Microsoft Excel.

When I choose SAP List Viewer the view I get is the ALV Grid.

Try setting a own data Set/Parameter ID FIT_ALVC to X in your user profile Parameters tab

To get to that screen go menu "System>User profile>Own Data ...then click on the Parameters tab
