You need to use

CALL METHOD cl_dd_document=>new_line.

Hi,

Are you using 'REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE' for displaying the header?

If yes, then I think it is not possible. Instead, use the events table to achieve it.

Use the 'REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET' FM to get all possible events and then modify

the events internal table to specify the form name to handle top-of-page event.

eg.

CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET'
   EXPORTING
     I_LIST_TYPE           = 0
   IMPORTING
     ET_EVENTS             = V_EVENTS
*  EXCEPTIONS
*    LIST_TYPE_WRONG       = 1
*    OTHERS                = 2
            .
  IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
  ENDIF.

READ TABLE V_EVENTS INTO WA_EVENT WITH KEY NAME = 'TOP_OF_PAGE'.
  IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
    WA_EVENT-FORM = 'TOP_OF_PAGE'.
    MODIFY V_EVENTS FROM WA_EVENT TRANSPORTING FORM WHERE NAME =
WA_EVENT-FORM.
  ENDIF.

FORM TOP_OF_PAGE.
* Use write statements to display the header data.
ENDFORM.

In write statement use '/' to go to new line. So to insert an empty line you can use something like

write : 'some text' / / 'some text' .

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I did as u instructed.

Earlier this is how i created the header text

W_HEAD = 'Document Datewise Report(HEADER)'.

LINE-TYP = 'A'.

LINE-INFO = W_HEAD.

APPEND LINE TO V_STANDARD_HEADER.

<<BLANK LINE to be displayed here before next line of header>>

V_EVENT-FORM = 'TOP-OF-PAGE'.

V_EVENT-NAME = 'TOP-OF-PAGE'.

APPEND V_EVENT TO V_GT_EVENTS.

<<Build field catalog>>

FORM TOP_OF_PAGE.

CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE'

EXPORTING

IT_LIST_COMMENTARY = V_STANDARD_HEADER.

ENDFORM

Now i commented the above 6 lines & called REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET before callingREUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.

In the TOP_OF_PAGE i have written WRITE statements.

But the report now displays nothing in the header part

Hi,

Keep the 'I_CALLBACK_TOP_OF_PAGE' parameter blank. And pass the events table to 'IT_EVENTS' parameter of the

'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' FM.

HI,

If you are using OO ALV you can use the CALL METHOD cl_dd_document-NEW_LINE.

If you are using normal ALV , Append an Initial line to the Internal Table that you are passing to the 'REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE' which you use to display the top of page of normal ALV.
