Enhancing print functionality for ALV report

[Former Member]

Our client requires a special Print at click button in few reports and screens in such a way that there is no effort in setting page sizes etc.

For one particular report, there are many columns. When I try to use List -> Print, only first few columns are printed. I want that all the columns are printed in landscape manner in different pages and the first column is repeated in both pages (it is frozen in report).

How to make these happen?

HI,

You can try following steps,

1) Goto transaction SPAD and create Page formate according to your requirement.

2) Create format and copy action from standard format.

3) create device type

4) assign that device type to custamize output type.

When ever you take print out of that ALV use your custamize Output Type

The above mentioned solution is proper. It can be done by basis.

Another solution is to define smartforms through which the reports can be printed as per requirement.

Alright, the issue is not still solved due to following reasons -

1) The customer wants that there should be a PRINT button and when we click it, there should be options to choose from A3 and A4.

2) The number of colums is large and they get truncated.

3) There are say 50 columns. If they come in two pages, we want that first column should stay common on both pages.

Help anyone please!
