Changing report painter header

Dear all,
I have developed report for balance sheet. Report execution screen fields are Period and fiscal year.
eg. If I give Period 11 FY = 2008
The header it is displaying is balance sheet for the period 11 year 2008
But My client wants to display " The Balance sheet for February 2009."
How do I get this? Can any body help me as i am in urgency
I will assign full points

Hi,
For this Report has been created based on some Form. Choose that form by double clicking it.
Place the cursor in the text "balance sheet = " that you have already given. Click Edit in the
tool bar > Click Element > Click Change Text. Enter the Text you want short, medium & long.
Finally save the form.

Change report standard header line

Hi Friends,
I have to change the print of standard header of all reports by using cmod exit S38MREP1. I have to print User-ID Time and system-ID on each page incl. all SAP standardreports.
thanks in advance
Harald

Hi Harald,
Are you saying about the report output or when we create a report commentted lines that we get.
Regards,
Kiran I
If you are saying about the commented lines that we get at the time of creating report then this may not work.
For that you can use table
TSE05
Inputs for this table are APP_OBJ = 'ADDM' and Keyword = 'REPORT' for report .
reward points if it solved your issue.

Hi SRINIVAS1234,
you can close it as answered and add your personal solution just to let people know how it can be handled. You can also close questions as unanswered but this implies that your problem is still existing.

Report Painter selection variables sorting

I have added a number of characteristics to my report painter report and set some as variables
i.e. plan version 1, plan version 2, plan version 3, plan version 1 year, plan version 2 year, plan version 3 year.
These variables appear on the selection screen in the following order;
plan version 1,
plan version 2,
plan version 3,
plan version 1 year,
plan version 2 year,
plan version 3 year.
What the business require is the variables to appear on the selection screen as follows;
plan version 1,
plan version 1 year,
plan version 2,
plan version 2 year,
plan version 3,
plan version 3 year
Has anyone any idea how the selection screen sorts the variables?
Can the selection screen sort order be changed for a report?
Your assistance is appreciated
John

For Selection Screen, you can try to use Selection Variant.
The steps are like this:
a. Go to GRR2 (change report painter)
b. Then choose the report you are developing
c. Execute the report
d. On the selection screen, choose Go To-> Variant -> Save As Variant
e. At Variant Attributes screen, you can do the following as your requirement:
    ·        Description
Enter a short, meaningful description of the variant. This can be up to 30 characters long.
·        Only for background processing
Select this field if you want the variant to be available for background processing but not in dialog mode.
·        Protect variant
Select this field if you want to prevent your variant being changed by other users.
·        Only display in catalog
Select this field if you only want the variant name to be displayed in the variant catalog (and not when the user calls the F4 value help).
·        System variant
This field cannot accept input. It is set automatically when a system variant (beginning with CUS& or SAP&) is created.
You can also assign the following further attributes to the selections in a variant:
·        Type
The system indicates here whether a field is a parameter (P) or a selection option (S).
·        Protected
Select this column for each selection that you want to write-protect on the selection screen. These fields are visible on the selection screen when the user starts a program with the variant, but do not accept user input.
·        Invisible
If you select this column, the system hides the corresponding field on the selection screen. This allows you to change the appearance of the selection screen.
·        Selection variable
If you select this column, you can set the value of the corresponding selection dynamically at runtime. The different ways of doing this are explained in the section Variable Values in Variants.
·        Without values
If you select this field, the contents of the corresponding field are not saved with the variant.
This is useful if you do not want to overwrite the contents of this field on the selection screen.
For example, suppose you create a report 'SAPTEST', with the parameter 'TEST', for which you create the variant 'TESTVARIANT'. In the variant, you set the 'Without values' flag for the parameter. Then, you run time program and enter the value 'ABCD' in the TEST field. If you now retrieve the 'TESTVARIANT' variant, the TEST field retains the value ABC instead of being overwritten by SPACE.
·        SPA/GPA
This attribute only appears if you created the corresponding selection criterion using 'MEMORY ID xxxu2019. You can switch the SPA/GPA handling on and off in the variant. This means that fields filled using SPA/GPA appear with their initial values after you have loaded a variant in which those fields have an initial value.
f. When you are finished, you can save it and name the variant (e.g.: Z_S_Screen for simpler selection screen)
After that, every time you want to have the selection screen, you can choose Get Variant or Go To-> Variant-> and select the variant you have saved.

Changing header in report painter

Hi All,
I have a requirement to change the header(column). I am using the global variable &5PY(Period/Year) in the characterictics value. So it displays an output like 06.2008. But the client needs this to be displayed as June 2008.
Kindly help me out with this.
Regards,

In report painter you can select variouselements based on which the data will be pulled. I haven't seen any report painter with two header lines and don't think report painter allows that. But for your requirement I believe you can select the periods in the header line itself.

Report painter report with two header rows

Experts,
I have managed the variable values in report painter but in display output i am unable to recognize the
value displayed for march / April is actual or planned
Please find attached screen shot for the same...
Is there any way to have both the information on header row?
Thanks
Sagar C'kar

Hi Sagar...
Please change the short, medium and long text as you wish (please have all the description in the long text), by default system displays with the medium text, but no need to worry, when you keep the cursor on the head column of the text (where medium text is maintained), system displays with long text also. By this you can see the long text. This option we may use for adding additional text there, maintain some text at medium text and maintain additional text at long text option, so when you keep the cursor at head of the column with medium text, you see long text in addition.
If you want to have the long text instead of short or medium text make changes like this..
By this you make the text length at maximum i.e. 21 digits I suppose and then.....
By the above you select "long text" as default
Regards..

Report painter - Choosing column heading text

Hi SDN
I'm having a specific problem with getting the right column heading text into my G/L report painter report created in FGI2/FGI5. In the report painter form I have created the three texts for my column (short, medium and long text). In order for the heading to be meaningful I need the report to show the medium or long text. This is also the case when I run the report as object type Object list. Here the medium text is displayed. However, when I run the report as a Classic drilldown report or a Graphical report output the short column heading text is shown.
Now, I know from running the standard report 0SAPBLNCE-01 in FGI0 that it is possible to have the long column header text shown in the report, so I'm not willing to give up. But can any of you guys help me on how to make the report show the correct text?
Kind rgds
Steen Koefoed

Hi Anna and thanks for your suggestion. I have tried changing the header text length in the form as you suggested, but it does not seem to affect the display in neither of the three output types of the report. I assume that there must be a way to control the text header length specifically for each of the three output types. But how....

Report Painter insert blank line after report header

Hi Expert,
I have a problem to insert a blank line (a spacing) after the report header of my customized report painter.
For example, in standard cost center report, S_ALR_87013611, there is a small box listed information like cost center/group ... and reporting period.
Right after reporting period, the report header box ends, and there is a space line between it and the cost element data ...
For my customized report painter, I cannot make this space line.
I tried edit > row > insert blank line ... but not successful ... kindly advise.
Thanks and regards,
-CK

Hi
In KKO2 go to output tab, here under layout, tick header and then press pencil symbol and in the editor you write your header. I think this will give you desired result.
