ABAP List formats to cater for both A4 and Letter environments

We have an environment where now both Letter and A4 stationery is used. Where can we get ABAP list formats for the Letter stationery and should we define them separately e.g. X_65_80 and X_65_80_LTR?
Secondly what is the transaction path for copying and modifying ABAP list formats?

Hi
You cann;t change the font size thru report.
Go for either Script/smartform for the same.

ABAP list report wont print on Z device type with Z format

Our developer have created a report which outputs data in ABAP list format and the standard format would not fit. We have since created a custom format and copied a device type in to custom device type. So we now have a custom format and custom device type. However when we print, it spools correctly and shows as green but the report wont print. The only thing that gets printed is
"Sort criteria AscdgDescndSubtotalGRAND TOTAL : X X PROJ" "
The abap list format is Z_100_500. Basically the report has 450 columns and hence we created this format.
I am not sure what this means. I have been advised by SAP to follow instruction on note 17895 - Adapting print list formats for customers however i cant fully comprehend point 5 of the note and I believe this is why it wont print. Has anyone adapted ABAP list using this note. Can you please let me know how i should go about printer initialisation mentioned in the noted.
We have checked everything however dont seem to get around the issue. Any ideas will be appreciated

Display in Abap List

Hi Experts,
I am facing an issue in priniting. Print Preview of form is coming in ABAP list format and there is no option to change in OTF format.
Rahul

Hi,
Pl follow the below steps,
1. If you print via access methods U/S and use SAPlpd, replace SAPlpd with SAPSprint (note 894444).
2. If you print via access methods 'F', switch to access method 'G'.
3. Download device type THSWINU that is attached to this note.
4. Import the device type using report RSTXSCRP and assign it to package SPOO.
5. Assign the device type to your output devices that formerly used THSAPWIN.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,

Printing a simple abap-list in panel-format (DIN A4)

Hallo Ladies and Gentlemen,
i have a simple abap-list. when i print it, the list will be printed in landscape-format. how can i change it? i have to print it in panel-format.
Thanks a lot,
Marcel

Hi Marcel,
I think you have to click on the "Full Administration" button t see the option for "Page Formats"...
Also go to transaction SPAD,
in Devices / Servers tab press Output devices button
Double click on the device type of your printer
Press button Formats
and here you get a list of all formats for your printer

Printing ABAP list in portrate format

Hi,
In one of requirement I wanted to print a report
in portate format on A4 size paper. Report has been created with use of write statement only.
When I checked print properties it shows only standard some page format(all are landscape).I even tried by creating custom portate format for ABAP list.
Please anybody suggest the way to take printout of ABAP list in portrate format.
Thanks in advance,
Amit R

Hi Amit,
check the line count and line size of your repor. And try with the line size = 80 and line count = 0. Then while printing the page format will be determined based on these variable to print the report.
If the report length is lange then you cannot print in the portate format.
Hope this will help you.

Satya.

SAP Query format issue (with ABAP list)

Hi All,
I had a requirement to remove all unecessary formatting and text from a SAP query report which can be read by a third party software system. We need only Header line and report data (spaced by Tab).
I have removed all formatting from the report and changed the output format from "SAP list viewer" to "ABAP list" .
The issue is that the report shows material number with 12 digits in output but when we download to file then it adds extra six "0" and makes the Material Number field as 18 digit.
we have already maintained new length as 12 againts the standard length 18 for material number(under field output option)
Please suggest how to get rid of extra digits generated during downloading.
Please help,
Thanks,
Rohit

Hi Brad,
Currently we execute query with SQ01 and from the output screen the user direclty saves the file as "local file..."
The output format is "abap list". We are able to get the exact format but the only problem is with material number. I cant make changes in the program. Is there a way to download it without changing the 12 character ( as displayed on the report output)
Thanks for help.

Printing A3 page format using ABAP List from SAP is a problem...

Hi Experts,
I am trying to print a standard output (ABAP List) A3 page size from SAP.
I used SWIN, SAPWIN, I9HP4 device types, but none of them worked.
I created page format type ZYEVMIYE 290MM 420MM and the page format L120, W200. In order to make it usable with page size is A3. Unfortunately this did not work either.
The behaviour of the problem is when I tried to print with the device types that mentioned above then printer indicator comes to an error. And nothing comes out from the printer.
Just to be on the safe side I made a test from windows self test, it resulted success with A3 page size format. So from this point of the view I got a thought that somehow SAP (selected device types) is not able to send correct signal to Printer for page size A3, because on the printer information screen displays load Tray2 for A4 this is showing that SAP sends Printer a signal for page format A4.
I need help on how to make SAP (selected device type) send a correct signal to Printer in order to printout A3 page size format.
Quick reply will much be appreciated.

Hi,
At last i got a Solution to my Question.
The Problem is that in my SAP-Code they have been translated the PDF into 255 string.But i am retreiving using 132 string.So, i resolved in this way.
<b>For Each dr As DataRow In ds.Tables(0).Rows
Dim dataline As String = dr(0)
If dataline.Length < 255 Then
dataline = dataline.PadRight(255, " ")
End If
sb.Append(dataline)
Next.</b>

ABAP list printing on device I2SWIN

Hello,
we have defined output device (printer) with device type I2SWIN for printing on users frontend computers via SAPlpd. Settings of I2SWIN device type is default:
SAPlpd/SAPWIN driver 3.0
Do not use printer driver for ABAP list print
Character set 1406 Printer I2SWIN ISO 8859-2 (MS Windows Latin-2)
We can print ABAP lists on this device. We define formats and set margins and orientation in this formats. But these settings are ignored during printing. If we change in I2SWIN setting Printer driver to "Printer driver for SWIN printing using SAPLP/Windows", then margins are accepted and printed, but there are wrong characters in print output (not in requested code page).
Could anybody help us how to set print to accept margins in ABAP lists and also have print output with good code page.
Thank you
Vaclav Jonas

O.K., we use margin settings according SAP Note 21738 and all works fine.

ABAP List Output Printing Error

Hi All,
I am facing a problem while printing the ABAP List Output. First Page is printing fine and from the second page its not printing. Where as in Standard reports everything is printing OK.
Thanks in Advance.
Best regards,
Shahid Malayil

Hello Shahid,
For list printing: Add to affected reports with NEW-PAGE PRINT ON LAYOUT/ SUBMIT... TO SAP-SPOOL LAYOUT (print at list generation). For printing from list display, adjust REPORT width specification to force selection of the format and move format to SAP namespace (name "X....").
May be this can help you.
Cheers

ABAP List Faxing using BCS method ( Business communication service )

Experts,
I have a requirement where we are faxing the ABAP list as it gets generated .
I am using NEW-PRINT ON and NEW-PRINT OFF , to get the ABAP list in a spool request , and then get the spool contents using function module : 'RSPO_RETURN_SPOOLJOB'
I then use Class / methods provided by Business communication service , such as :
cl_cam_address_bcs=>create_fax_address ,to send this spool content to Fax gateway .
My fax goes , but the fax output list is in X_65_255 format, whereas i want the fax output to be in X_65_132 ..
My REPORT statement does have X_65_132 as line count / line size BUT somehow the Fax output does not take this list format .. ANY IDEA's ????
Would appreciate your reply .
Ashutosh

Naimesh,
I have passed page format X_65_132 in GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS , in export paramter ' Layout ' ... See code below :
write a list into spool
call function 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
    exporting
      line_count = sy-linct
      line_size = sy-linsz
      layout     = 'X_65_132'   <<< Page format
      mode       = 'BATCH'
      immediately = ' '
      list_text   = htext_spool
      list_name   = 'ZV46 FAX'
      no_dialog   = 'X'
    importing
      out_parameters         = print_parameters
      valid                  = valid
    exceptions
      archive_info_not_found = 1 .
BUT still the fax coming out of our fax machine is compressed because i believe the outgoing fax is using page format X_65_255 .
Any idea why ????
Would appreciate your reply .

Problem converting ABAP list into PDF

Hello,
Having converted a spool request of an abap list into pdf the "intensified" attribute of the list items will disappeare. Text in the list with i.e. COL_BACKGROUND INTENSIFIED would be converted to text with blue and normal font. None of the possible combinations of colours and intenstions have produced an output in bold.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
