Typical problem in SCRIPTS

Question

Hello Experts,
I am working on SAP script where i have to display the records in a page from a internal table.
begin of xtab occurs 0,
vbeln like vbak-vbeln,
matnr like mara-matnr,
maktx like makt-maktx,
erdat like vbak-erdat,
date_var(1),       "indicates date change with 'x'
status(1),         "indicates vbeln change with 'x'
end of xtab.
now my requirement to display to have the script is
1) when ever the date_var is 'X' a new page should trigger.
2) when ever status = 'X' there should be
a line after the display of records indicating the change of vbeln saying
"there are xxx number of materials for vbeln"
THE PROBLEM:-
    suppose if a page can hold 20 records. and if I have 23 records.  the 3 records are dispalying in next page, with "there are xxx number of materials for vbeln"
which is fine.
     But if when there is change of date at 24th record, where a new page should trigger- this
     is not happening and further more records from 24 index are attaching after the
     "there are 23 number of materials for vbeln are used".
    My exceptation over this display should is - it should display 20 records in frist page
    and move to next page to display 3 records along with "there are 23 number of materials for
    vbeln are used"  ( As the page could hold only 20 records). and THEN AFTER THIS AS THERE IS
    CHANGE IN DATE IT SHOULD TRIGGER A NEW PAGE to display from 24th record.
  Please Help me in giving the code for this.
Thanks
Mary

Hi Mary,
I suppose you can modify the printing program.
Try to work with an internal table like:
<i>erdat like vbak-erdat,
vbeln like vbak-vbeln,
matnr like mara-matnr,
maktx like makt-maktx,</i>
So the code could be something as:
<i>SORT XTAB BY ERDAT VBELN
LOOP AT XTAB
AT NEW ERDAT
  if sy-tabix > 1.
    NEW-PAGE (function).
  endif.
ENDAT
AT END OF VBELN.
  WRITE_FORM (function)
  Element = text containing numbers of materials
ENDAT
ENDLOOP</i>
