Why i am getting font in small size?

[former_member202077]

Hello

I have developed a classical / stnadard report program, user is seeing the data on the screen, it has good visibility and readability, well.

But, when user is taking print out of that classical/ standard report (by going to MENU and there user is selecting the PRINTI option), the font is coming very very small in size, so the total output size is placed on 3/4th page and the reast part of 1/4 page is left as blank!

Users want to have the report text/data accommidated on the total page with a good size font/text for easy readibilty

Pls. let me know why the font is coming very small and even though there is space (1/4 part of page) is available on the page, why the printer is not utilizing it so that the font will come good in size, why its shrinking to 3/4th page?

PLs. let me know how can increase the font size in the papaer print out report?

I tried with LINE-SIZE as 132, 160, 255, 1032, but notnhnig is working!

Hi

That depends on how many colunm you're using in your abap list and which format the user uses for the print.

If your report uses 100 colunm you should use a page format having 100 colunm if you want to use whole line of the page.

If there isn't a format with 100 colunm, you need to use a bigger one, for example with 132 colunm; but that means the print creates a page large 132 colunm where only the first 100 will be used, the rest (32) will be empty.

So:

- The line-size should be equal to the number of the colunm you're using in your abap list;

- The user needs to use a page format with the same number of colunms used by the report

   if there isn't a format, the user needs to use a format with a number of colunms close to the   

   number of colunms used by the report;

   if the format is too bigger, you should create a new one

For example:

if the report prints 145 colunms

- you should set LINE-SIZE = 145

- The user should use a format with 145 colunms, if there isn't he should use the closer one, for example a format having 150 colunms (so only the last 5 colunm will be blank);

    but if the best format has 200 colunms. it means the last 55 colunm won't be used, so probably it's better to create a new format by transaction SPAD

Hi,

Everything  max bianchi said is correct. If you like a more readable and pretty printout you should use a smartform to print the list.
