Print settings for ALV report

[Former Member]

I have a ALV report output with LINE-SIZE 1023. But when I try to execute the report in background the output row is not coming in one line but in 2 lines. When we run the report in background I gave the printer as 'LOCL' (local) and displayed in spool. In the PRINT SETTINGS I don't see FORMAT for 65 X 1023. Do I need to create one? If yes, how to create it? Or if there is any other way go get all the cloumns in one row of a ALV output.

Thank you.

Any suggestions please

You can create a format of type 65*1023 and add to your device type. Also in SPAD Use Setting->Spool System->Other-> Check NO of cols from Format.

You can check out the OSS 186603. Its very helpful.

Hi,

<b>Change the font on the X_65_255 paper size :-</b>

This tip was taken from the SAP-R3 mailing list, <b>and is by Sheila Tichener</b>.

If you need to use a large line-size to get all your data in I know the sap version of X_65_255 for hp laser jet 4 gives an unnecessarily small font . You can change it in SPAD (or copy to Y_65_255) as follows.

<b>Example:</b>

Choose Device formats, Change
hplj4
x_65_255
Execute
Double click on printer initialisation
Change from:-
 # select Courier 16.67 CPI normal font
 e(s0p16.67h0s0b4099T
to:-
# select arial 24 cpi 15 point normal
e(s0p24h15v0s0b16602T
................
Also bold as follows:-
# select arial 24 cpi 15 point bold
e(s0p24h15v0s3b16602T

Also the error you get when changing a format in the output screen is only a warning and can be overidden by pressing the green tick.

If the sap standard formats don't fit your requirements you can create your own eg Y_65_170 . It seems to be the numbers in the name that somehow triggers which one the abap chooses
