Print multiple ALV grids at once

[Former Member]

Does anyone have a solution for the following problem:

I have a screen with 3 ALV grids. I would like to offer the user the possibility to have one button to print the ALV grids. Is this possible?

Kind regards,

John.

Hi,

I have also used three grids at once but u can print one grid at a time.

Printing all at once is not possible I guess.

If it is worth the time, you can add a button to the application tool bar. When the user hits the button to print all 3 ALV grids, the data for all 3 grids are in your internal tables so you can do your own WRITE commands to print whatever you want.

You could also experiment with the BEFORE_USER_COMMAND event in CL_GUI_ALV_GRID. This event gives you access the the command that the user requested before it is executed. You can trap the print request, blank out the user command so that it is not executed, and then do your own printing.

Hi Charles,

Thanks for your answer.The idea was to use to the standard print functionality of the grids. However the method used for printing is a private method of the class, so I can't get access to it. Any ideas how to solve this?

Kind regards,

Hello John,

Did you solve th problem? I got stuck in the same point. The method I found in cl_gui_alv_grid to print the grid is private... How did you solve it?

       O_CONT2 TYPE REF TO CL_GUI_CUSTOM_CONTAINER,
       O_CONT3 TYPE REF TO CL_GUI_CUSTOM_CONTAINER.
DATA: O_GRID1 TYPE REF TO CL_GUI_ALV_GRID,
       O_GRID2 TYPE REF TO CL_GUI_ALV_GRID,
       O_GRID3 TYPE REF TO CL_GUI_ALV_GRID.
