OO ALV in background - Logo display/print

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have this program that is generating an ALV grid in foreground where I don't have a logo. A new requirement came in to create a statement form where the output is a subset of this ALV. I created a wrapper program that submits the first pgm in background mode, reads the spool and transforms it into a PDF.

The problem here is that I need a Logo in the header. I'm not sure if that would work in background. In foreground I would split the custom container and add the logo as a picture (ADD_PICTURE) on the top container using print_top_of_page. In background, I'm using a docking container and I don't think we can use splitter.

Any ideas on how can I add a logo to the top of page, in background? I've read many threads here but didn't find a solution.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I do not know if this is possible but there is another solution.

instead of using the spool use the internal table that goes into the ALV and call a smart form  .

There you can have a logo and it is a more flexible solution for printing.

If you go this way you need to define table type in the SE11 or use external class (SE24) to store your types.(personally I prefer SE24) .

A sample of using class type in smart form:(see the attached files in this posts)

Hi Eltan,

thanks for taking the time in responding. I read some material and the logo doesn't show up in background. I had thought about the smartforms, but was trying to avoid having to create another object....

Thanks again
