background color in reports

[Former Member]

Hello there,

In the code below:

 DATA: lv_key TYPE i.
 format color lv_key intensified no-gap on.

I keep getting the error

<b>

"COLOR LV_KEY" is not expected; only 1 to 7 or the relevant color IDs

</b>

May I know is there anyway I could get around that? Unfortunately I can not hard-code the color in this case.

Thanks a lot!

Regards,

Anyi

Hi,

The options COLOR, INTENSIFIED, and INVERSE of the FORMATstatement influence the colors of the output list.

To set colors in the program, use:

Syntax

<b>FORMAT COLOR n [ON] INTENSIFIED [ON|OFF] INVERSE [ON|OFF].</b>

To set colors at runtime, use:

Syntax

<b>FORMAT COLOR = c INTENSIFIED = int INVERSE = inv.</b>

for this runtime, you can decalre the variables and use your algorithams and pass when you are writing FORMAT COLOR statment

You can do something like this.

DATA: lv_key TYPE i  VALUE 5. .


<b>FORMAT INTENSIFIED ON COLOR = lv_key .</b>

Hello Rich,

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately this lv_key stands for the local variable color which is initialized through some other algorithms. Therefore I can not assign lv_key as a constant.

Any other suggestions?

????? I'm a little confused.

You want to assign the color from a variable, right?

report zrich_0002 .


data: lv_key type i.


do 7 times.
  lv_key = lv_key + 1.
  format color = lv_key intensified on.
  write:/ 'This is the color'.
enddo.

Hi Anyi,

You can only specify a VALUE or COLOR CODE to COLOR attribute.

So try with this logic.

Use CASE...ENDCASE statements to resolve this issue.

CASS LV_KEY.

WHEN '1'.

FORMAT COLOR 1 INTENSIFIED ON.

WHEN '2'.

FORMAT COLOR 2 INTENSIFIED ON.

.....

WHEN '7'.

FORMAT COLOR 7 INTENSIFIED ON.

ENDCASE.

Thanks,

Hi Anyi,

Did you check sample program from above link?

REPORT demo_list_format_color_1.

DATA lv_key TYPE i.

DATA col(15) TYPE c.

...

WHILE lv_key < 8.

CASE lv_key.

WHEN 0. col = 'COL_BACKGROUND '.

WHEN 1. col = 'COL_HEADING '.

WHEN 2. col = 'COL_NORMAL '.

WHEN 3. col = 'COL_TOTAL '.

WHEN 4. col = 'COL_KEY '.

WHEN 5. col = 'COL_POSITIVE '.

WHEN 6. col = 'COL_NEGATIVE '.

WHEN 7. col = 'COL_GROUP '.

ENDCASE.

FORMAT INTENSIFIED COLOR = i.

WRITE: /(4) lv_key, AT 7 sy-vline,

col, sy-vline,

col INTENSIFIED OFF, sy-vline,

col INVERSE.

i = i + 1.

ENDWHILE.
