REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE length limitation

[Former Member]

On trying to print the report header in ALV grid using REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE it doesn't allow printing of text > 60 chars since type slis_entry is 60(c) . Is there any other way to print longer texts in ALV GRID headers.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

using REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE you can write up to 60 chars only.

what is the report type, i mean is it list/grid.

if it is list then you can write with out using FM REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE, using top_of_page event you can write more than 60 chars(using normal write statements). this will work only incase of normal alv list reports.

hi rani,

yes u r right there is length limitation with reuse_alv_commentary_write.

so for printing long texts u can directly use the write statement in top of page.

but for using write statements directly, u have to set print paramters.

1. IF U ARE USING SLIS TYPE in SLIS_PRINT_ALV, u have reserve_lines. IF U R USING LVC in LVC_PRINT u have reserve_lines.

U declare a variable of type SLIS_PRINT_ALV OR LVC_PRINT

now var-reserve_lines = (some number)

2. NOW IN GRID DISPLAY OR LIST DISPLAY u pass the print parameters , means u will find a parameter IS_PRINT

now PASS THE VARIABLE TO IS_PRINT.

3. now if u write "write" statements in top_of_page or end_of_page, it works.

NOTE: if u are using GRID DISPLAY, u cant see the top of page or end of page normally. but u can only see in print preview.

IN LIST DISPLAY U CAN SEE.

Hi Rani,

1. if we use alv list thru Fm,

then we can use simple WRITE statements

for writing headers at the event TOP_OF_PAGE.

(in that case, commentary concept

is not required, and we can

write whatever we want with simple WRITE statement)
