Answer:
You can but the data comes out looking a mess. The ALV grids run on the presentation server (your GUI) not on the application server as other reports do. So do not use the ALV grid for reports that run in the background.

No. It comes out and lookes nice (like print perview or classic ALV)
cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline( ) does the trick....it was posted on SDN....and now I included one of my ALV Grid programs and it works fine....still not crystal clear why
