Conditinoal formatting - How to highlight even lines in a report ?

The report standards folks in my team came up with a new standard i.e. highlight all the even number lines in the report so that the report will be more readable. Is there an easy way to do it using format triggers or something ? The entire row or a group of rows needs to be highlighted. How to accomplish this ?

Hi Suresh,
If a line is equivalent to a row of data, you can put the format trigger in the repeating frame for that row. To count the rows, you can create a running count by having a summary column in that group which does the count and resets at report or some higher level. If :running_count mod 2 = 0 then you can execute the code in your format trigger, otherwise, just return true.
Hope that helps,
Toby

How to highlight entire line

I am currently implementing an IDE. I try to highlight entire line(not only text but also following blank field) when users set a breakpoint on that line.
Using Highlighter.addhighlight(start, end, HighlightPainter) only allow me to highlight the text part in the line. I haven't figure out how to do that.
Any helps are appreciated.

one way to highlight a full line or draw a breakpoint
symbol on a particular is to create a custom highlight
painter and override the paint method. If you want to
highlight the full line then use the width from the
JTextArea and only the y coordinate and height from
the view coordinates.
If you would like a breakpoint symbol and a particular
line then just put a drawImage call in the paint method
which draws an icon on that line
I've included some code for custom painter for both
highlighting a full line and rendering a breakpoint
icon.
     private class     SingleLineHighlighterPainter      extends DefaultHighlighter.DefaultHighlightPainter {
               public     SingleLineHighlighterPainter( Color color )

                                        Image im = ( (ImageIcon) Icons.stopSignIcon ).getImage();
                         // render using just the y coordinates and height from the initial point
                                        g.drawImage( im,0,p0.y+2,null );
                              catch (BadLocationException e) {
                         // can't render
to use these do the following
     DefaultHighlighter dh = new DefaultHighlighter();
          dh.setDrawsLayeredHighlights( false );
          SingleLineHighlighterPainter     dhp = new SingleLineHighlighterPainter(Color.green);
          BreakpointPainter                    bpp = new BreakpointPainter();
          buff.setHighlighter(dh);
          try {
               dh.addHighlight(25, 30, dhp);     // single line highlighter here
               dh.addHighlight(60, 60, bpp);     // add breakpoint highlighter here
               dh.addHighlight(120,120,bpp);     // add breakpoint highlighter here
          catch (javax.swing.text.BadLocationException jst) { };
          buff.setMargin( new Insets( 0,20,0,0 ) );
where numbers used with the addHighlight method are
the location within the model. In this case the
addHighlight( 25,30, dhp ) will highlight the line with
a view location corresponding to position 25 in
the model. So just need to specify any model location
on the line you want to highlight.
Setting breakpoints is the same just need one model
position on the line where you want the image to be
drawn.
Hope that's clear.
Also helps to look at the source code for
DefaultHighlighter.java.

How to insert horizontal lines in alv report?

hi,
    i have to insert horizontal lines in alv report.( RM07MLBB )
        actually my requirement is:

first secondary list = another report is called here ( RM07DOCS )
                  i want to insert horizontal lines in the first secondary list, when i execute individually RM07DOCS , i can get horizontal lines, but when i dounle click in the basic list --> in the first secondary list , i am not getting the horizontal lnes.
functional modules used are REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY & REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.
    here in this program,
                    is_layout = alv_layout.
hence i tried to give
              alv_layout-no_hline = ' '.
but not effecting.
          can some one please tell me , how to insert lines in the alv report.
thanks in advance,
Dastagir.

hello,
     so i cannot insert horizontal lines in the first secondary list according to my sorting condition, i.e., in a single block there should be :
       if same delivery challan number is repeating they should come in the same block,
for the corresponding delivery challen number, if have po number, is repeating , they also should come in the same block.
                   in this way i have to seperate the blocks containing EXNUM , EBELN CONDITIONED.

How to create 2 lines header in Report painter

Hi. I am not good at Report painter. I want to create 2 lines header in Report painter just like SAP std report.
When I create a new form, I only have one line header form but cannot add additional header line.
I am looking at the 0SAPFS10-01 Trans.Fig.- Balances. which has two header lines
                           Debit              Credit            Balance       Accumulated Balanc
Periods                     &1FY               &1FY               &1FY               &1FY
I can create only one header just like
Periods                 Debit              Credit            Balance       Accumulated Balanc
cannot add additional line for
      &1FY               &1FY               &1FY               &1FY
please advise me
thanks in advance.

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.

How to highlight a line in a text stream and position the cursor at the end.

I would like to select a line in a text control data stream, highlight the text, and place the cursor at the end of the line so that the text control can be edited at that point.

Depends on what you mean by "highlight". If you mean highlight in the sense of when you use the mouse to select text, then you can't do that and then place the cursor at the end, since that would effectively "unhighlight" the text. You need to use a different kind of "highlight", like turning the text bold or something. This KB article talks about highlighting particular characters: How Do I Highlight Particular Characters in a String Control?
See attached for simple example. Modify as needed.

How to print all lines in alv report?

hi
i am using the functions 'FP_JOB_OPEN' and 'FP_JOB_CLOSE' in order to print the form
i want it to be printed without prompting me the 'PRINT' window and pushing the ok button .
is there a way to do that ? i put reqimm = 'X' and nodialog = 'X' but it didnt fix it
thanks

Hi Ami,
At START-OF-SELECTION event write your code between below statements.
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON NO DIALOG.
Your Code
NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF.
This statement NEW-PAGE PRINT ON with addition of NO DIALOG will not prompt you for Printer selection. It will directly create a spool.

How to select multiple lines in reports

Hi,
how to select multiple lines in a reports and process those selected lines to other activities like BDC.
Please paste sample report here. or any demo examples . (don't paste ALV report , paste only classical report)
suppose there are 10 records in output, i want to select 3 records and process other activities like bdc.
Point will awarded.

Hi ,
the o/p in ur case will be a basic list output with a check box enabled in the left .
Now say there are 10 records in the list output and i have checked 3 of them where checkboxes are enabled .
And i press a button to submit this to the BDC .
Here u need to make use of
READ LINE statement to read the records from the list output and then pass them to the BDC .
The code would be something like this
DO .
Read line index <field> where checkbox <> ' '.
ENDO.
You can have a look at the F1 help on read line . This will mkae u clear .
Hope this gives u an idea.

BDC - ME52N how to replicate highlighting a line and coping it

Hello All,
i have used SHDB on transaction ME52N and have the code but what is not happening is, when i do the ME52N i highlight the first detail line and then depress the copy icon to create a second line. This is what i can not get to work in the BDC anyone have any ideas. It will not highlight the line and make a copy of it.
thanks Scott

Hi Scott,
Why do you want to copy the line item. How is the 1st line item created. If the 1st line item is created by populating values from your own internal table, then even for creating 2nd line item, populate the data into 2nd from from the internal table itself.
If you select a line item and click on copy, it validates the 1st line item, checks for mandatory input values viz. material no, quantity, unit, G/L account no.,account assignment category.
Try to execute the transaction manually and populate the data. If it is working fine then try BDC for the same data with CALL TRANSACTION with MODE `A`.
Best regards,
Prashant

Any ideas on what would cause this NOT to work? I added this row right after the table is created and populated and it is still not highlighted when I enter the form. The snippet of code that does this is:
MyTableModel modelS = (MyTableModel)dataModel.get("S");
jTable1 = new JTable(modelS);
jTable1.setRowSelectionInterval(0,0);MyTableModel is this:
class MyTableModel extends DefaultTableModel {
public MyTableModel(Object[] columnNames, int numRows) {
    super(columnNames, numRows);
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int column) {
    if (TableKey == 'S') {
      if (column == 6) {
        return false;
    if (TableKey == 'O') {
      if (column == 0 || column == 4 || column == 5) {
        return false;
    if (TableKey == 'P') {
      return false;
return true;
}Can anyone help? Thanks.

If I wanted to highlight the first and third line to center at the same time, how exactly would I do that?

Hi Jeremiah,
Can't be done. AppleWorks doesn't support non-contiguous selection.
For your particular example, you can center lines one and three by this procedure:
Place the insertion point in line 1.
Press command-\
Place the insertion point in line 3.

Actually, in Windows (XP) the highlight color (in DW8) is a

How to highlight a certain line in textArea?

Hi
I want to know how can i highlight certain line in atextArea with diffeent colors
Thanks in advance

highlight certain line in atextArea with diffeent colorsAre you talking about the foreground or background color??
If its the foreground, all the text must be the same color. If you need multiple colored text then you need to use a JTextPane.
If its the background then you can use a Highlighter.
textArea.getHighlighter().addHighlight(...);

You don't even need to create a group. Just sort the records on the fields that define "duplicate". Then you can just use
if {field} = PreviousValue({field}) then crYellow else crNoColor
in the format's Background Color formula. This will cause the background to be yellow on duplicates. (If you need to check more than one field in order to determine duplicates, just insert
and {field2} = PreviousValue({field2}
and so on for each field that needs to be checked.
