Column optimization ALV print

Former Member — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 19:30:47 GMT

I am using CL_SALV_TABLE for my ALV report and I need to optimize the columns when the report is printed. I tried the following but it doesnt seem to do the trick. What am I missing.

lr_print = gr_table->get_print( ).
  lr_print->set_column_optimization( 'X' ).

  gr_table->display( ).

Hello Megan,

Try the following code.

TRY.

CALL METHOD cl_salv_table=>factory

IMPORTING

r_salv_table = gr_table

CHANGING

t_table = gt_output_list.

CATCH cx_salv_msg.

ENDTRY.

DATA: lr_columns TYPE REF TO cl_salv_columns_table.

DATA: lr_column TYPE REF TO cl_salv_column_table.

lr_columns = gr_table->get_columns( ).

lr_columns->set_optimize( abap_true ).

Rae Ellen Woytowiez

I already have my columns optimized. But when printing it doesnt optimize the report, when displaying on screen it does. So I added CL_SALV_PRINT to the mix but it doesnt seem to work either.

When I look at program SALV_TEST_TABLE, it is doing exactly what I require. The print out of the report has column's optimized. If in the display I shorten the length of the columns, this is reflected in the print preview. But I cant figure out what changes in the settings are needed to get to this.

Hi,

I'm having kind of the opposite problem. I don't want my columns to be optimised when printing, but they are.

The program SALV_TEST_TABLE behaves as I would want as well.

I see you have this question as answered - did you find the difference between your program and SALV_TEST_TABLE?

Cheers,

Phil

lr_print->set_column_optimization( 'X' ).

should not be part of your program.

My Friend,

First, use the method GET_COLUMNS of de class CL_SALV_TABLE.

DATA: lo_salv_table TYPE REF TO cl_salv_table,

lo_columns TYPE REF TO cl_salv_columns_table.

cl_salv_table=>factory( IMPORTING r_salv_table = lo_salv_table

CHANGING t_table = YOUR INTERNAL TABLE ).

lo_columns = lo_salv_table->get_columns( ).

lo_columns->set_optimize( abap_true ).

lo_salv_table->display( ).

Here it worked.
