Formatting problem with report in background

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a ALV report. When I execute this report in foreground and try to print from menu option List->Print, the report print using X_65_255 format.

On the other hand if I schedule this report as background job and see the spool generated then in print parameter it shows format X_65_132.

Why is this change in report format in foreground and background mode?

I want that format should automatically set to X_65_255 in backgound mode.

Because of format X_65_132 report is not being printed correctly and last two colums are chopped off in output..

Thanks for the reply however user do not want to interact with SAP ... instead he want option to taken autoamatically. I tried with line-sz 255 but it does,'t work..

Hi,

Use the func.module:

SET_PRINT_PARAMETERS to set all the print parameters as you desire and pass the workarea accordingly in the program.
