Simple list output viewer from old report

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need something simple that it is maybe obvious and I overlooked it.

I have an old ABAP that makes a list output - from various elements and tables, spread across the page.

Something like an printed expense report page.

This ABAP needs to be migrated to WDA.

It is nothing structured for an ALV Table but rather a series of "write" statements.

I just want to display the list in WDA - no columns, no interaction, no buttons - just the report output as information for the user.

Would I use text fields or just one text field? Size limitations of the text field? Or something completely different?

Thanks for the help

Hello Holger,

you could try using the FormattedTextView ui element.

Best regards,

Hi,

this seems to be the best solution. I already started to write a simple WDA for this.

But I can't get the sample from the help docs to work.

Is there another tutorial for using the FormattedTextView ?

Thanks

Holger

Hello Holger,

it uses XHTML for formatting. Try to work your way from a simple XTML text for a more complex one.

Best regards,

Thomas
