hi,

in classic reports you must foramt report with sy-vline only...no other way..

but instead of using fixed column positions you can use variable lenghts...easy to format..

for example..

WRITE 😕 sy-vline,
            2 itab-matnr,   "fixed column positions
            19 sy-vline,
            20 itab-menge ,
            33 sy-vline.

you can write above code like this,
WRITE 😕 sy-vline,
            (18) itab-matnr, sy-vline,
            (13) itab-menge , sy-vline.

Hi,

No other simply ways.

You can go ALV List Display instead of Grid Display.

for Placeholders, you can create constants like l_pos10 for position 10...

So that you can change the pos at definition level instead of changing eveywhere.

For Example:

data: l_10 type i value 10,

l_25 type i value 25.

write: /l_10 'Baburaj ',

AT l_25 'Manickam'.
