Watermark in Report Template - CG42

[saranwin]

Hi Folks,

I have a requirement in transaction code CG42 (Report Template) that needs to add the Watermark like Draft or Released in background based on the template status dynamically. I explored all the enhancements available for transaction CG42 but no luck.

Is there any standard option to configure this watermark based on the template status or any other method to achieve this scenario. Watermark should change when the Template status is changing.

Help me If anybody have already been worked in this kind of requirement. Thanks and appreciated your help.

Regards,

Saran

Hi..!

Not sure why such info is needed in CG42 because the status of the report template is indicated in the CG42 Hit-list.

May be as C.B has said, you may need it in CG50, CG54,...

In that case, include this symbol in your template, "<02EHS_RPSTA1(;*)[(D:Report SAtatus)]"

This will capture the current status of the "report" and displays.

For your specific demand, u include this symbol, use conditional output (compare it with report status, like "RE"-Released) to print the phrases as C.B told.

But i am not sure about expanding a symbol as water mark.

But u can include 1. Object-rectangle,

                           2. rotate it diagonally.

                           3. Add text.

                           4. Insert this report symbol as per the logic.

                          5. "send to back"

Thanks & Regards

Dear all

"Watermark" is a standard feature of Word. I did never tried to use a report symbols in combination with it but it should work (that means if "value" = true (whatever value  you would like to check) you can display "Watermark"; if value =" false" no watermark is printed (conditional output technique).

Dear Saran

there is nothing which you can use by standard; but you can "program" (create new symbols) something.

E.g. if Template is not "released" you can use CG02 only in mode "Create from template". Here as well you have only "indications" (later) how the report has been created. The problem "goes" deeper. E.g. in Cg50 even if you have a report created (status "Ready") user can check content of report (and print it if needed).

In CG50 you could try to read the "report status" and based on that information you could show a "phrase" (like "Report not released yet" or you could "trigger" the "Watermark" symbol.

May be this helps.
