Complex header

Former Member — Tue, 18 Apr 2006 11:51:07 GMT

Hello,

I have a request for a report with a complex header. By complex header I meen merged cells and multiline column headers. How can I do that? My initial design was based on ALV grid, but I don't think I can do this with ALV. But how can I do it even without ALV ?

Hi George,

In that case you can go back to good old days when ppl wrote the reports using write statements.

YOu can define your column headings using normal reports without alvs.

Hi George,

With ALV u cant have multiple header text or multiple header lines.

You can have blocked ALV list where you can have two lines of header but i beleieve it will be a classic ALV list you cant have that in a GRID.

Yes definitely you can always achieve the same without ALV by using the normal write statements.

Cheers

For multiline headers you can use step loops/table controls.. but for meged cells even i would like to know ..

George,

You will have to do with WRITE Statements.

You will have to specify the position for each field / heading that you want to write.

So, if you want to merge cells, choose the position accordingly and write the heading.
