List Format Different When Run In Background...

Former Member — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 05:18:21 GMT

Hi Guys,

When I run a report in the Foreground my List displays normally. It is worth knowing that this list has 36 Columns (36 added to the Field Catalog).

But, when I run it in the background (F9), it seems to "wrap"/"split" the columns... The last few colums are sent to the next line so my field catalog is actually displayed over 2 lines!!!

When running the Report in the background (F9) I did choose the "Properties" button and I set the Rows to be 65 and the Colums to be 255 under the "Format" Parameter. This does not change anything...

We recently upgraded to ERP6.0. I wonder if it is some kind of SAP Standard that changed???

Please advise - Point will be rewarded for usefull awnsers.

Hello There,

many tks - but it still does not seem to resolve the problem...

All that this seems to do is to automaticall set the size to "X_65_255" when I run it using F9.

When I check the Spool in SM37, I still get the same fields in another line...

Any other advice??

tks

Hi ,

I think you have used more than 255 characters in records. after 255 characters , it comes like that. its SAP functionality.

Give more Line-size may be 300 or 400.

>to automaticall set the size to "X_65_255" when I run it using F9.

By default it gets the line-size from REPORT STATEMENT, But you are overriding that with the manual setting. first priority always will be REPORT LINE-SIZE this will automates.

The problem is width of your report, try to increase the line size and see . it definitely works.

you dont need to set that manually.

Tks, But it is still not working.

I think it is SAP Standard not to go over the 255 limit when run in the background. My list DEFINATELY has more than the 255 limit...

Here is my statement:

REPORT /bsa/rp_purchaseorder_analysis MESSAGE-ID /bsa/mm LINE-SIZE 400.

This does not work. When I use F9, it gives a message : "Formatting is set to X_65_255". I run this WITHOUT overriding and it does not work. I also ran this overriding the settings... I made the columns 400 and it did not work.

I dont think it is possible????

I spoke to one of our printer people and we have a printer that prints Lists with more thatn 255 columns...

I just selected this printer and selected its format of X_65_512/2.

It works now.

tks to all
