ALV report - control output format

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I have an ALV report and when we try to print the output from List -> Print , we would see Format under properties. I would like to control this format from inside my program. How can we do this? I tried LINE-COUNT and LINE-SIZE additions already with the REPORT statement but did not work. Please share your thoughts. Thanks.

if you are using reuse alv grid then you can set it in parameter is_print

DATA:LS PRINT TYPE SLISPRINT_ALV.

LS_PRINT-PRINT_CTRL-PRI_PARAMS-PAART = 'X-----X'." page format here

Hello,

Thanks for the info. One more thing before I close the ticket. I have a report output with 7 pages. Second page has 20 columns in it. When I use format X_65_255, all 20 columns on the page are not being displayed. When I used X_65_512, the remaining columns overflowed to next page but all other pages (pages 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7) have a blank page after them. Couple of quick questions.

1. How can we get rid of the blank pages?

2. Or is it possible to fit all columns from 2 page into just one page, may be reducing the font?

Please help. Thanks.

Hi,

im not aware of this and havent faced such situation, you can check if there is any print properties or settigs to chnage the font size.

You can also go for a landscape mode, so all columns will be displayed.
