How to build a "Report"

[Former Member]

I want to build a report.

I found a reference to building a report but cant find any simple examples to work through.

I know how to setup a grid but how do i setup labels, Headers etc so that they are sourced from a query?

Basically I want to have a report that looks like this (all items in <> are from the database)

<RepotName> - <ReportDate>

<RepotNotes>

Table Header Row

<LineItems>

Table Foooter Row

Hi Chris,

Please refer to the 11.5 help for more information about creating reports using a servlet call

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_xmii115/helpdata/en/index.htm

Do a search on Report Generation. The help explains the process. For an example stylesheet, you can enter this in the browser:

http://[servername]:[port]/XMII/Stylesheets/IllumRowsetTable.xsl

This directory contains a number of stylesheets you can use a reference to build your own You can find the paths to via the Navigation Editor (pretend you are adding a new link, browse, and on the Web Root tab of the File Browser you will see the Stylesheets directory). Then, you can builld the url as above and when it opens in the browser, do a File -> Save As, save to your desktop and then import into your MII Project.

I believe these same stylesheets are also available in the MII Sample Project
