Fiori HANA On-Premise Print a custom report From an ALV

[mmcisme1]

Hi all,

Here are the requirements:

I have written an ALV and it is nicely displaying as an APP. However, the ALV has too many columns to print. And they want all the columns to print. So my thought was simply to set up the print button and print a report where I could do things like word wrap and make it look nice. However, I don't want that to show on the screen. The ALV with all of it's wonderful functionality should be on the screen. And as a requirement the data has to be printed. Sorry trees.

So I've been looking around for a solution to just print it from the ALV screen. I can't really find anything.

I could post my ALV code - but it's not a problem with the code. It's the next step. I can do this without any problems on the GUI. But not the browser.

Any ideas? I'm willing to try anything at this point. What have I tried? I've tried my normal approach of setting up an event and then printing a simple report. I've tried just to print the ALV by selecting the min. columns. (It did it, but the print was too small)

I've searched. But if you have found something and have some search terms that maybe I haven't tried - I'll do that.

Thank you,

Michelle

Maybe the export to excel using abap2xlsx (Demo Report: zdemo_excel32) could be an alternative option. Note 314568 - SAP GUI for HTML functionality / Limitations / Sp. Behaviour might show the limits. Have you tried Business Client (Windows Installation) to start the Fiori Launchpad? There the local GUI would be used.

Great idea! I hadn't thought about that. I'll try it and then mark it correct, if it works.

Thank you!

It worked great - Gregor. However, since I linked my stupid profiles, I can't close this. Hopefully someone can for me. What I ended up doing was combining this answer with a blog I read about sending an ALV to Excel using abap2xlxs and mailing it.

Thank you!
