Hi

declare an Internal table with 2 column fields

and then populate the values into that internal table and write the data of that ITAB in the output, so that both the columns are printed.

You can't print leftside first and then right side next in the report output.

At a time you will write the contents of both the columns in a single line and then go to 2nd line

hey in report program by using BACK command u can set cursor to intial postion ...plz check how actually it works..

thanks 4 help...and that u hav given solution using internal table ...i hav tried tht

but it is not working in which i want ...

Yes, you can do that by manipulating the fields sy-pagno (page number) and sy-linno (line number). Check out this example:

do 100 times.

write: / 'first column'.

enddo.

sy-pagno = 1.

sy-linno = 1.

do 100 times.

write: /50 'second column'.

enddo.

This will really only work without the line-count 60.

You can print first the right and then the left, using the BACK or SKIP TO LINE <n>. BACK can be used with or without RESERVE. Also don't forget about POSITION <n> to set the output column.

BACK returns to the first line of the current page after TOP-OF-PAGE

You will have to monitor the number lines you print because once you overflow, you cannot BACK to a prior page.

I hope this helps.

Look up in the ABAP help for examples of using these.

BACK only returns to the top of the current page. I have used this in 3-up label printing programs, some years ago. If you need to return to the first page, try the method suggested in the post by Kevin, to set sy-pagno and sy-linno to 1. I have not tried this.
