Hi vijay,

I have answers for a few of the questions:

1. Yes if u have the records that are to be displayed in an internal table, u can use DESCRIBE statement. U can use the variable which is of type syindex.

2. The event TOP-OF-PAGE will be triggered whenever u start the list processing.For example, when u use the commands such as WRITE, SKIP, NEW-LINE etc for the first time....So that event will be triggered only once....

3. If ur requirement is really to change the LOGO for each customer, u can create a window for LOGO and in that u can write an IF statement as below:

IF KNA1-KUNNR = 'XXXX'.

INclude the corresponding logo.

ELSEIF KNA1-KUNNR = 'YYYY'.

INclude the corresponding logo.

ELSE.

Include the Default logo.

But if the client is too specific, they ask for changing the logo based on the Country key.

In such a case, u can use KNA1-LAND1 instead of KUNNR.

5. For printing the LOGO in the Header for ALV, we can make use of the FM REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE, as u said. For this FM, one of the importing parameters is "i_logo". Through this parameter, u can pass the logo, u want......

I hope these answers will help u.

Don't forget to reward points, if helpful.

Hi pavan

Thanks a lot.One thing i couldnt understand is there are 85 record and in each page there are only 10 records displayed.So do you think the event triggers only once.Please confirm.Also if u have faced some interview question that you have come across..Please let me know.Thank You.
