Background printing ALV Grid

Greetings,
I am printing the ALV grid in the background using non OO processing.
It, of course, switches automatically to the ALV list when it prints... but... does anyone know how to shut off the "Sort criteria" and the "Data statistics" tables when printing?
These 2 tables are printing in front of the ALV list... on page 1.
Thanks,
Doug -

Never mind.

Problem in placing the background in ALV Grid display

I have created one image of the business flow, and it have to be displayed in the background of ALV grid display.
For this I have gone to T.Code OAER , Given class name as PICTURES , Class type as OT , Object Key BACKGROUND, clicked on the triangle of Standard Doc , then double click on screen, and finally uploaded the background into SAP.
In the function module REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY I passed this background to the parameter I_BACKGROUND_ID.
It is working fine, and I was able to see the back ground in my program.
(developed in IDES)
But the same is not working in my development client, will some one suggest be the reason for the problem. Please kindly help me out from this problem.

hello Dinesh,
I have created the object key in the development client itself and used in the grid display of the same client. i am not understanding where the problem is, any how thank you very much for your responce. if you have any other solution please let me know.

Printing Selection-Screen while printing ALV Grid output display

Hi,
I have a requirement wherein I want to print the Selection Screen also while printing the output in simple ALV grid Display.
Currently when I print the ALV output report, only the header and the Body of the ALV is getting printed. But the requirement is that I also want to print Selection screen along with this.
If anyone has faced a similar situation, plz let me know what needs to be done in order to print the selection screen also while printing the ALV report output.

Nitin

Hi,
You can use given function module to print your
selection screen
RS_REFRESH_FROM_SELECTOPTIONS
>This will get Current contents of selection screen
RS_LIST_SELECTION_TABLE
>This will Generates list according to values in selection table(RSPARAMS)
Sample
CALL FUNCTION 'RS_REFRESH_FROM_SELECTOPTIONS'
       EXPORTING
            curr_report     = p_repid

ALV GRID FORMAT IN BACKGROUND

Dear All,
There is t code called MB51 which the user use, we recommend them to execute that report in the background using this method -- t code-- execute in background--- enter the printer name and generate the temporary spool to veiw the report, however when we veiw that report using spo2, the tool bar (that comes when we execute in the foreround) is missing, which is used to veiw it in the ALV grid format, actually the user easily select the feilds in that format and download them to excel sheets, in the background that " Details" option is not there, is there any work around for this.
Thanks,..
Ravi.

Hi Clemens,
Thanks for that valuable suggestion, atleast I got a direction to think about, so from here on its gotta be xml...
But, since I have no idea about xml coding, also I went through those 2 links you had sent, but I'm still unable to understand the following points:
1.How do I generate the xml code, relevant to formatting that I did in ALV Grid using the FM "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY"?
2. How do I go about saving the xml file onto the Application server?
3. Can you please provide any sample ALV report code, where such XML formatting has been used?
Thanks in advance.

How to display more than 255 chars in background job with ALV Grid ????

Hi All,
I am using ALV grid with OO.
I have used call screen for ALV grid display. I have to display more than 255 characters in width. While running it, I can see the list perfectly.
But in background mode, the list is truncated after 255 chars.
Can anybody help how to send complete list(width more than 255 chars) to spool.
Thanks and Regards,
Neha

Hi SAP fan,
YES you can run the ALV report in background mode.
To run the report in background do F9 instead of F8, then give immediate and save.
Now goto Sm35 goto job overview and view the job listed
Choose the job and press the spool button. It will show the list created on the next page. When u clcik the list u can see the ALV output.
To see this the job should be in the finished status.
How to define Periodic Jobs
1.Execute transaction SM36
2.Define Job name, Job class, Target server
3.Click on 'START CONDITION' button
4.Click on 'Date/Time' button
5.Enter Scheduled start DATE & TIME. Check mark 'Periodic Job' field. Click on 'Period values' button and select 'Hourly' or 'Dialy' or 'Weekly' or 'Monthly' or Other period and SAVE. Go back to main screen.
6.Click on 'STEPS' button and enter Program name and Variant under box 'ABAP Program'. Click on 'Print Specification' button and enter Printer name under 'Output device' and SAVE
7.Click on SAVE button until you get message on bottom of the screen that describes 'Job XYZ saved with status: Scheduled'.
8.Click on 'Job overview' button or execute SM37 transaction.
9.Select the appropriate 'Job name', 'User name', 'Job Status' & Schedule date under 'Job start condition' and click on 'Execute' button or press F8.
10.You will now see all your scheduled JOBS.
Case: 2
You can Run in Background but make sure it is alv list, not alv Grid FM. if you are uisng alv list not problem , but if you are using alv grid then you can code like this..
if sy-batch = ' '.
call 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'.
else.
call 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'.
endif.
if you are using OO alv then write this code..
CALL METHOD cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline
 RECEIVING e_offline = off.
 IF off IS INITIAL.
 CREATE OBJECT g_custom_container
 EXPORTING container_name = g_container.
 ENDIF.
Case: 3
if you are using OO ALV.
Just before creating the custom container check for the following condition.
Batch or Web Reporting
IF cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline( ) IS INITIAL.
CREATE OBJECT o_custcontainer
EXPORTING
container_name = lc_custcontrol
EXCEPTIONS
cntl_error = 1
cntl_system_error = 2
create_error = 3
lifetime_error = 4
lifetime_dynpro_dynpro_link = 5
OTHERS = 6
ENDIF.
You can see the output in Spool in transaction SP01.
Good Luck and thanks

ALV Grid Background Coulmn headings issue

Hi Guys,
            I was able to execute the ALV grid report in background .When i am looking into the Spool o/p columns heading is reeating for each page.
            Can't we just just have the Column Headings once for all pages.?
             The problem with this is when i downloaded it into Excel from Spool column headingare displayed multiple times.
Thanks,
Chand.

Hi,
While executing in background, it will ask for the print parameters, somewhere you will be giving the spool length and width (by default it is 65 * 80 i guess). Hence it is truncating the characters which are exceeding this limit.
Hence try changing this one to the maximum available one. It will work.
If you need a bigger one which is not available in the options available, then your BASIS people have to create the new one.

Data not getting displayed in ALV grid when run in background

Hello experts!
Could anyone help me out please?
I need to display an ALV grid in the background. My requirements are as follows:
I first display an ALV grid in the foreground based on some input parameters. The user selects a few records for updating it and clicks on the "update" button. On the click of this button another report must be called and here the ALV report is displayed in the background.I am using "reuse_alv_grid_display" to display the grid.
I am using Import/Export to get the selected rows in my called report. When i execute this report in the foreground i get the ALV grid along with the data. But when i execute it in the background, i get only the grid with the fieldnames and not the data when i check in SP01.
Thanks in advance!
Smitha

Hi Smitha,
If you are able to see in SP01 and only see the output layout or "List contains no data" shows clealry that the data is not getting passed in the called program or the data is not being used correctly in the called program.
Cheers

Taking download into excel from ALV Grid - header is printing in two lines

Hi All,
I have a scenario where I am taking the download from ALV grid to an excel sheet. Now the header of the ALV (column names) is appearing in two lines in the downloaded excel sheet while items (records of the ALV table) are getting displayed in a single line.
This download is taken from the standard download to local file (spreadsheet) button provided by SAP for ALVs.
I am using function module "Reuse_alv_grid_display" for the purpose.
Can somebody provide an idea how I can avoid the header printing in two lines and keep the length as it is.
Thanks in Advance,
Chandan

Hi..
1. Pass header name in internal table appned first line.
2. after that pass u r data .
3. Use FM. WS_DOWNLOAD

Running report with alv grid in background and exporting to excel

Hi Guys,
              I've created a report program that uses the alv grid. When I run the report in foreground, I can easily export it to excel. However, if I run it in background, then display the spooled report and try to export to excel, it does not put it in excel format (seems to go over as one big column rather than individual columns that are defined in the report). Is there a way to run it in background ,export to excel properly and i have to email also in Excel sheet format.?
Thanks,
Gopi.

In background u cannot do a download to excel. you can do is create CSV format file
or
write a report for output with tabs then call that report using
submit yXXXX exporting list to memory
           and return.
call function 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
    tables
      listobject = report_list
    exceptions
      not_found = 1
      others     = 2.
and send the report_list to email users

Print headings using RSBTCHH0 on ALV grids

Most reports I have developed use the list processing event top-of-page to print headings for the report listing by calling standard SAP subroutine BATCH-HEADING in program RSBTCHH0 when structure BHDGD has been populated. Field BHDGD-LINES contains the line size used for printing the report headings. When we use ABAP objects to print data in the ALV grid we can add the same processing to print page headings to event PRINT_TOP_OF_PAGE. It appears as if the heading data is printed until the position of last column of the grid before the text is wrapped, creating a new line. Is there anyway of controlling the default line-size when doing grid printing.
Thanks in advance
Colin

Hi,
