Hi everyone,

Previously for making simple reports we used a 'R TYPE ts_root' structure & special anchors like '{R-TITLE}' ... '{R-BOTTOM}' which represent fields of the ROOT structure in the in Excel | Word | Pdf templates.

In this post we go further & try to display most powerful data type in ABAP. As you already guessed I'm writing about internal tables.

Let's add a random table description
      " Random table data
BEGIN OF ts_rand_data,
group TYPE string,
caption TYPE string,
date TYPE d,
sum1 TYPE p LENGTH 13 DECIMALS 2,
sum2 TYPE p LENGTH 13 DECIMALS 2,
END OF ts_rand_data,
tt_rand_data TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ts_rand_data WITH DEFAULT KEY.

 

and add it to a root structure
    " Document structure
BEGIN OF ts_root,
footer TYPE string,
t TYPE tt_rand_data, " internal flat table ( In template {R-T} )
...
END OF ts_root.

 

After filling R-T table with data we could use it in word template


table in word


or in excel template

 


table in excel


 




 

There are several things worth to mention:

 

  • 1 internal table row can correspond several rows in template




 

 

  • All list objects (and Pivot Tables based on them) in Excel with corresponding formulas would be properly stretched.



 

  • Named ranges (Ctrl + F3 in excel) will be extended automatically



 




  • Formulas with scope are supported (Worksheet or Workbook)
    Including “Print titles”



 




 

  • Pdf


Report

Template (xdp)


xdp file format (Livecycle Designer)


 

  • Word

  • Excel

Tables are very wide topic and reading all capabilities would be very tedious.
