I had made couple of SD reports in report painter 4 year ago .. as far as process is concern you have create library , but it deals with information structure which start with s0* , after defining information structure in library it take to select the fields and display them on your out put . information structure have the statistical data most of the time . As i worked on information structure , so31,32,33 .....

I t creates ABAP program like ABAP query creates in background . if you execute Customer Over due analysis or in Co02 cost analysis report or MC* ( MM stock reports ) those are in report painter .

Hope this'll give you some guide line ...

As far as I know about report painter, It create a report in background..Like when you make ABAP query (SQ01, 02, 03 ) .. It will create a report. You cant modify the report . You have to get OSS id in order to do that. if you're ready do it then you can pass it to Memory and can achieve your goal ...

I think it will give you some hint. I wish I could have authorization to use report painter on my this project so I can help you out practically.

Please see these steps , it`ll help you ...

The variation objects are coming from the sets.

For example, when you read the report 'Cost Centers: Actual/Plan/Variance'(T-code : S_ALR_87013611), you can find the characteristic 'Cost Center' is set as a 'set variable'. So the cost center in the report left side are coming from the cost center group that you input.

Does any know if we could use Report Painter across two controlling areas? Any documentation available will be great. Yes. When setting up a report in CCA you can have multiple controlling areas. In the General data selection you will have the option for the CA as a selection.

You can also use standard references objects to construct your own reports: libraries, standard layouts, default columns, and row and column models, all in the standard R/3 System, are available for custom reports.

Report Painter report definition requires several Preparatory Steps, depending on the complexity of the report to be generated.

1) Create a library and pick your reporting tables.

2) Create your report

3) define your set up within the report

a)General data selections

b)Colimns

c) rows

d) formulas

Standard layouts are maintained in the IMG "Financial Accounting" under "Special Ledger -> Information System -> Maintain standard layout.

Create libraries, which means assigning the

characteristics

key figures

Predefined columns

For each of these categories you need to select the objects to be used in reports of the specific library. You define the sequence of the objects in the selection lists of the Report Painter in field "Position". Frequently used objects should be at the top of the list.

I have created a report through report writer/Painter(GR51). My query here is to link this report to a transaction code. Could you please suggest me how can I acheive this?

Go to SE93 and select the Transaction with Parameters ( Parameter Transaction)

Then in the Transaction field give: START_REPORT

Skip initial screen

Screen 0

In the default value for the parameters give

D_SREPOVARI-REPORTTYPE RW

D_SREPOVARI-REPORT ( Give your Report Group )

If you have any doubt pick any report painter tcode and check in SE93

Follow below steps

1) Execute report through report painter

2) From system status get the program name

3 ) go to se93 and select report transaction and assign

program name .

Is it possible to make bigger the text a I have on a text field?, Im using the screen painter and I need to put the title bigger (as a requirment).

You can define your text as any length.If you are talking about the font,i am afraid you cannot do that.

No, you can not change the size(font) of the text on the dynpro, you can hightlight it, which changes the color to "blue" to make it stand out. You can change this on the attributes tab when double-clicking on the element in screen painter.

what is the sentence that open a screen painter file

Don´t really understand what you mean with "open a screen painter file".

If you are speaking about showing a form generated with the screen painter,

Dim oXMLDoc As New MSXML2.DOMDocument

oXMLDoc.load("Form.xml")

SBO_Application.LoadBatchActions(oXMLDoc.xml)

Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form

oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.Item("YourFormID")

oForm.Visible = True
