Colors

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 <i>"COLOR 'c'" is not expected; only 1 to 7 or the relevant color IDs

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

Hi

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,

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!

Example 1 :

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.[/code] Example 2

          WRITE: PILE_SUIT NO-GAP COLOR 6 INTENSIFIED INVERSE HOTSPOT,
                 PILE_CARD COLOR 6 INTENSIFIED INVERSE HOTSPOT.
        ELSE.
          WRITE: PILE_SUIT NO-GAP COLOR OFF INTENSIFIED OFF HOTSPOT,
                 PILE_CARD COLOR OFF INTENSIFIED OFF HOTSPOT.

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

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>.

<b>To set colors at runtime, use:</b>

Syntax

<b>FORMAT COLOR = <c>.</b>

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.
