Hi Sandeep,

Based on your printer name and output devide it will change the format in output.

Let me explain you a example, assume that you using an output device (printer). Your printer's setting is only x_255_... So you need to create a new format lets say Z_65_700 or Z_65_900 or Z_65_1050 according to our requirement and then assign it to your device.

Go to transaction SPAD -> FULL ADMINISTRATION -> DEVICE TYPES -> FORMAT TYPES and there you can see all the available formats. Create a new format e.g Z_65_700 in the similar manner with X_255... with a different number of columns (700) and save it.

Then in the tab DEVICE/SERVERS go to OUTPUT DEVICES and type your printer -> ENTER -> then from the Menu GOTO device type -> then there is a button FORMATS where you can see all the existing formats (plus the one you have just ctreated). Find it and choose it. Then save.

Now you have attached the new format to your printer.

While executing any program/report/t.code in background you can assign that perticular output device and enter the desired format
