HAI,

CREATE LINE TYPE(%LTYPE1) IN TABLE SUCH THAT TO HAVE 2 COLUMN..

USE THE LINE TYPE AND CREATE TABLE LINE TO DISPLAY 1ST 2 FIELDS

PUT ONE TEXT TO DRAW LINE

USE THE SAME LINE TYPE AND CREATE TABLE LINE TO DISPLAY REMAINING 2 FIELDS

Hi ,

You need to add a program line in the page node and check the records in this node.

divide your current tablenumer (sy-tabix) by 4 and keep remainder.

define 4 templates.

have each template a condition so it is filled with data according to the content of the remainder.

so if the remainder is 1 (record 1 or record 5 or record 9 etc) the template left-top is filled.

if the remainder is 0 (record 4 or 8 or 12 etc) template right bottom is filled and after that jump to next page.

change your internal table to have 4 records in each table-line

hi suzie,

you can put conditions on your templates by using condition tab of template.

first click the template .then you find one condition tab there like : fieldname comparison value.

put the name of field to print in field name and value to compare in comparison value.

also double click on box between these two to get comparison operator .

you can also put OR condition while comparing two fields.

by default if you add two fields condition is AND.

get in touch for further help.

thnks
