Report Layout Question

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I came across with an interesting layout problem. I have created a layout for an output screen of a report(SAP Standard report). Can I protect this layout from an unauthorized change without making it 'user specific'. Or else Is there any function module which can change the layout structure within a program or atleast identify the changes(I call this standard report from a custom program).

Where else a layout structure is stored including all the details such as field names.

Please do respond if you have any idea about it.

Thanks a bunch...

The Display Variants are stored in the LTDX table.. Pl take a look at the folllowing function modules..

LT_DBDATA_READ_FROM_LTDX

LT_DBDATA_WRITE_TO_LTDX

Thanks for the response. But I guess LTDX table doesn't have the field names of the layout. Not sure though.

I looked into the function modules But i could not figure out how I can use them to change my layout within a program or atleast identify changes. Could you please explain if you have an idea.

Thanks.
