Submit an ALV tree report

[Former Member]

Hello Group,

The problem is that I call an ALV tree report output ( using cl_gui_alv_tree) from my program with a SUBMIT sentence. The output of the report should not be displayed but it should return to the called report to send it as an attachment by email. I have tried with this :

SUBMIT (pi_report-id_report)
USING SELECTION-SET pi_report-varianteEXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY AND RETURN.

CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
TABLES
listobject = lt_abap_list[]EXCEPTIONS
not_found= 1
OTHERS= 2.

But ‘lt_abap_list[]’is empty.

Thanx in advance.

Hello Miguel,

the attachment should be... what? A PDF?
If so, you can submit the report with spool option and read the spool back instead of LIST_FROM_MEMORY.

So your spool can be converted easily in PDF

Hello Miguel,

You can try using CL_SALV_BS_RUNTIME_INFO class.

This blog gives a nice explanation along with code samples.

BR,

Tree <> List. Tree usually kind of assumes an interactive report, so I'm rather confused why a choice was made to use the tree report in such a way...

Another possibility is that the report simply comes up blank and does not provide any results based on the parameters supplied.
