Hi. I try to do sth like that

LOOP AT itab.
  IF itab-belnr1 = itab-belnr2.
    c = 5.  
  ELSE.
    c = 4.
  ENDIF.
  
  WRITE: / sy-vline,
         (10) itab-belnr1 COLOR c, 
         (10) itab-datum1 ,  
         sy-vline,
         (10) itab-belnr2 , 
         (10) itab-datum2 .
ENDLOOP.

But I receive "COLOR 'c'" is not expected; only 1 to 7 or the relevant color IDs

(COL_...) are allowed. . How to determine colors during program flow? Greetings. P.

Hi,

Check this,

DATA col TYPE i VALUE 0.

DO 8 TIMES.

col = sy-index - 1.

FORMAT COLOR = col.

WRITE: / col COLOR OFF,

'INTENSIFIED ON' INTENSIFIED ON,

'INTENSIFIED OFF' INTENSIFIED OFF,

'INVERSE ON' INVERSE ON.

ENDDO.

Reward if useful!

the Command COLOR doesn't accept any variables along with it

It is a must to use the numbers 1 to 7 along with it.

hI piotr,

U should assigne values to 'c' betweeen 1-7 because there are 7 colors in abap directory.

1-Bluish

2-light gray

3-yellow

4-Dark grey

5-green

6-red

7-golden

U should use only these colors.

I think ur problem is solved.

Thanks

Sanket.

hi,

The options COLOR of the FORMAT statement influence the colors of the output list.

To set colors in the program, use:

Syntax

FORMAT COLOR <n>.

To set colors at runtime, use:

Syntax

FORMAT COLOR = <c>.

These formatting options do not apply to horizontal lines created by ULINE. They have the following functions:

COLOR sets the color of the line background.

For <n> you can set either a color number or a color specification. Instead of color number 0, however, you must use OFF.

If you set the color numbers at runtime, all values of <c> that are less than zero or greater than seven, lead to undefined results. The following table summarizes the different possibilities:

analyse the sample program, it will solve your problem.

REPORT demo_list_format_color_1.

DATA i TYPE i VALUE 0.
DATA col(15) TYPE c.

WHILE i < 8.

  CASE i.
    WHEN 0. col = 'COL_BACKGROUND '.
    WHEN 1. col = 'COL_HEADING    '.
    WHEN 2. col = 'COL_NORMAL     '.
    WHEN 3. col = 'COL_TOTAL      '.
    WHEN 4. col = 'COL_KEY        '.
    WHEN 5. col = 'COL_POSITIVE   '.
    WHEN 6. col = 'COL_NEGATIVE   '.
    WHEN 7. col = 'COL_GROUP      '.
  ENDCASE.

  FORMAT INTENSIFIED COLOR = i.
  WRITE: /(4) i, AT 7            sy-vline,
            col,                 sy-vline,
            col INTENSIFIED OFF, sy-vline,
            col INVERSE.

  i = i + 1.

ENDWHILE.

In the FORMAT statement, the COLOR option for the subsequent WRITE statements is set at runtime. The other options are set individually for each WRITE statement in the program.
