Have you read the online help? http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/b6/ab3a8103ac11d4a73f0000e83dd863/frameset.htm There are coding examples in there. You need to use cl_dd_table_area or cl_dd_table_element.

For landscape printing, I believe this is handled by choosing the appropriate selection on the print dialog - it's got nothing to do with the CL_DD_DOCUMENT class.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for reply. Yes i have read the online documents. But my requirement is that i need to break main columns into subcolumns,

suppose i have 5 main columns with heading then i want to split first column into 4 equal parts, 2nd into 3 equal parts without breaking heading and also i need split 1st row into some equal number of rows. how could i achive this? and for landscape option i already checked in dialog box, but i'm not getting that option.

Thanks

Well, I can't help you with the landscape printing -that's a basis issue, I believe.

You can nest tables. So you create a tablearea with 5 columns. Then in the first column, you put a tablearea with 4 columns etc.

Well, you can't always get exactly what you want. But play around a bit.

  DATA: lr_table_area TYPE REF TO cl_dd_table_area,
        lr_table      TYPE REF TO cl_dd_table_element,
        lr_leftcol    TYPE REF TO cl_dd_area,
        lr_rightcol   TYPE REF TO cl_dd_area.

  DATA: lr_leftcoltable_area  TYPE REF TO cl_dd_table_area,
        lr_leftcoltable       TYPE REF TO cl_dd_table_element,

  IF reuse_ref_flag IS INITIAL.
    CREATE OBJECT me->r_header.
  ENDIF.

* Split header into two areas - one for selections,
* one for report specific stuff
  me->r_header->add_table( EXPORTING no_of_columns = 2
                                     border        = '1'
                           IMPORTING table         = lr_table
                                     tablearea     = lr_table_area ).
  lr_table->add_column( IMPORTING column = lr_leftcol ).
  lr_table->add_column( IMPORTING column = lr_rightcol ).

r_header is ref to cl_dd_document. lr_table_area is a table with 2 columns in that document - lr_leftcol and lr_rightcol.

I now add a table inside lr_leftcol.

  lr_left_col->add_table( EXPORTING no_of_columns = 3
                                border        = '0'
                                width         = '100%'
                      IMPORTING table         = lr_leftcol_table
                                tablearea     = lr_leftcol_table_area ).

I can now add information into lr_leftcol_table_area.

I hope that gives you some idea.
