Report Writer/Painter

[Former Member]

Hello friends,

I was told to design using ABAP, the same report that Report Writer/Painter has. On the new SAP version ECC 6.0, component FI-LC has been discontinued so functionality is no longer works. In your opinion, what is the level of complication to design the similar report in ABAP without the ease of the report writer tool? Please advise.

Thanks,

HC

I remember going thru the same situation in ECC 5.0 maybe an year back.

even though it looks like the report is not available, thru the path which u used to access it, it must be there in system somewhere... just pick it attach to a z tcode..and it worked...

i forgot what steps i followed exactly to do that. so if u can give me more specific details like... report path ... name..tcode... or whatever u know about it,...maybe i can just try the same..

FI-LC is database structure for reporting. Table is FILC

path to run this report: transaction GR33. I entered library and report, click on 'section' push button, drill into Row layout, then report ->execute. This take me to Execute Report Group (GR55). This take me to prompt where I enter report group then execute. It takes me to program selection screen for report GP3HRLBGB4RL1THEDT1URJMIEZM310.

When I do this on the upgrade environment, I get error 'Component FI-LC has been discontinued'

I hope I give you sufficient information. Thanks.
