Invoking multiple reports from a single report

[Former Member]

Hi all ,

I have a requirement like this . I have these reports which will produce PDF forms . The selection screen of all these is same . Now they say we will modify the selection screen to include three radio buttons and specify the form names . So that in the program we will call the program based on the form name and execute the program to generate forms .

I know this can be done with SUBMIT but I am looking at the best way of doing this .

Can anyone drop your ideas as what is the best way to achieve that ?

Thanks,

Daniel .

Hi,

Perhaps you can use/call dynamic external subroutine.

PERFORM (subrname) IN PROGRAM (progname).

can't think of a better option.. even if you tie the report to a Tcode & call that Tcode or put the report inside a function module & make a function call, you will ultimately have to execute the report..

I would go with the SUBMIT option.

Here is an example of what you could do to create the forms based on your radiobutton selection:

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK b01 WITH FRAME.

PARAMETERS: p_form1 RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad1 DEFAULT 'X'.

PARAMETERS: p_form2 RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad1.

PARAMETERS: p_form3 RADIOBUTTON GROUP rad1.

SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK b01.

START-OF-SELECTION.

IF p_form1 = 'X'.

SUBMIT zprogram1 USING SELECTION-SET variant1.

ELSEIF p_form2 = 'X'.

SUBMIT zprogram2 USING SELECTION-SET variant2.

ELSE.

SUBMIT zprogram3 USING SELECTION-SET variant3.

ENDIF.

END-OF-SELECTION.

Just save all of the selection screen criteria for each of the form programs in a variant, which you use in the above code. I hope this helps.
