ALV Output printing - Achieving page breaks

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have an ALV program in which settings have been made for a page break on the first column of the output. When I take a print out, I get the output in multiple pages, which is what I need.

However, when we transport the same program to our consolidated

system and try to print, these page breaks disappear.

Is there some other setting which determines the page breaks. Like,

some print settings, etc.

Any help in this would be greatly appreciated.

(I am using the 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' fm and passing the first columns name in the 'it_sort' table. Also, in the layout, I am saving this column name in the 'Sort Order')

Please let me know if more details are needed.

Regard,

Sudeep

You need to populate the sort table and send it to ALV function.

if you specify group = '*' then it will display in each page and print also for each sort combination.

wa_sort-group = '*'.

Thanks for your reply.

But, I've already entered the settings when creating the ALV Grid

output. I'm setting the following values when entering the sort details:

wa_sortinfo-fieldname = 'W_CENTER'.

wa_sortinfo-up = 'X'.

wa_sortinfo-subtot = 'X'.

wa_sortinfo-group = '*'.

APPEND wa_sortinfo TO g_sortinfo.

However, I am still not getting the page breaks.

Please note: The same program gives the page breaks in another system.
