Printing & Font & A3 & A4 ----Problems

Former Member — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 08:48:55 GMT

Hi Experts,

I have a problem from couple of weeks,

I have developed a Calssical Report which cannot be developed by smartforms or sapscripts or Alv report, because the requirement is different. (hard to say but in a short- Must contain header & footer with 30 lines of data fixed per page. for ex. if data is 1 line, need to print 29 blank lines, if data is 32, need to print 30 lines in first page and 2 line in nextpage and other 28 line blank lines, at the end of each page footer need to be printed, etc,..) so having no option I took Classical report as the solution and developed it...

The report containg BOM, MIGO, BILLING, STOCK- Tables (more than 18 tables) with each table got 25 million records of data (Database from 1998).

Now I completed the report Successfully with no errors & all the data is correct....

MY REAL PROBLEM NOW IS

My report has two reports again one is IMPORT & other is EXPORT

For import report Dimensions are 58 rows X 251Clolumns (1 column = one char).

For export report Dimensions are 58 rows X 381Clolumns (1 column = one char).

Export report contains 3 Price and 11 Quantity fields & others.....

So the size is 381. (Before starting th report I expalined my client clearly)

They are unable to print the Export Repot... they even tried with A3 sizes.

when tried with A3, the same 58 X 255 Characters is Zooming into big sized font around 14-16 fontsize.

when tried with A4, the same 58 X 255 Characters is dispalyed with small sized font around 8-10 fontsize.

(Both the reprots need to be in Landscape and they are in landscape).

They are asking me to reduce the font size when it is A3.

My SAP version is 4.7 EE.

I have already tried with all options SPAD and all other completed and finally even shown client that font cannot be controlled by ABAP Coding.

But the client still need the Mandatory requirement .

Now these people want me to solve this one (need to print (fit) all the data in one page),

I Even dont have Print Preview Option.

I am helpless, Please give me any suggesions.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

I suggest to go with Smartforms keep the logic same and use it as a Driver Program .

When printing of data comes it is always easy to use smartforms or adobe forms .

Hope this helps you.

Hi Amit Teja,

Thanks for your reply,

But my concern is that I dont want to redesign as it contains a lot of modifications other than values.

I just want to know is there any options to add Print preview, or something like that, right now when i download to a sytem using export from list display & print from there its ok.

But is there any chance can I do better.

Thanks & Regards,
