If I understood your question correctly.
Have a look in the link above.
It is possible to use Crystal Reports from ALV.
Tammy Powlas also has some good guides on how to do this.
The ABAP however is not covered that much.

Why we need ABAP if we can connect With Crystal Reports to SAP R/3

Hi,
I am new to Crystal reports.I came to know that we can connect SAP R/3 by using SAP InfoSet,SAP Table Cluster and Function connectivity in Crystal Reports.So we can generate reports for SAP R/3 database with out need of ABAP.So why we need to go ABAP module.Is there any disadvantages if we dont use ABAP to generate reports or we can use always Crystal Reports to generate Reports for R/3 database?

Hi,
it is correct that you can built a Crystal Report without the need to use ABAP, but we have lots of customers that have invested over the years into ABAP Routines and Crystal REports is able to leverage those as well. So with Crystal Reports you have the choice to leverage existing ABAP Functions as a source for reporting - which might help to leverage complex processing on the backend - or to use InfoSets and tables.

Crystal Reports for VS2010 using a custom SAP ABAP function module data source

I recently worked with Crystal Reports 2011 and was able to connect and retrieve data from our R/3 system via an ABAP function module. While researching other features, I found this version that can be installed into Visual Studio 2010. The parameters are not very user friendly in Crystal Reports so I was hoping to create a custom dialog to collect my report parameters.
Does anyone know if I were to install Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010, would I be able to design a front-end selection screen in a Visual Basic form and then pass the input to through the Crystal Reports connection to my ABAP function module to retrieve the data filtered on the back-end by the selection screen parameters and return the results to be reported in the Crystal Reports output?
I am using Visual Studio 2010 Professional Visual Basic with the .NET Framework 4.0 on 32-bit Windows 7. I was able to connect to our R/3 system in Crystal Reports 2011, so if I were to install Crystal Reports for VS2010, would there be a similar way of connecting to SAP?
Any assistance or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryan

Hello Bryan
I don't know for sure, but I doubt this will work in CRVS2010. Only hope is that the utility available for download in this KBA will point you in the right direction.

Crystal Report on SAP R/3 ABAP Program or Transaction Code

Hi Experts,
I am working on SAP BI, my current requirement is to develop a dashboard. Client given the list of reports and they want to see these reports as a dashboard in BO. All these reports are SAP R/3 ABAP Programs. My doubt here is, is it possible to connect directly or bring directly a ABAP program in crystal reports. I know that form crystal reports we can connect to SAP R/3 through SAP Table, Cluster , Function Modules and so on.
Anyone please clarify this doubt.
Thanks & Regards

How to pass parameters to ABAP function in Crystal report

Hi All,
I am creating a Crystal report on top of SAP ECC 6.0. I am trying to call ABAP functions. But I am not able to see an option to pass any parameters to the function.
Can you please help with how to pass a parameter to a ABAP function?
Thanks
Chetan

Hi there,
we thought we found the problem. But the ABAP function is now RFC compatible and i still do not see the export parameters of the ABAP function in Crystal.
Question: The ABAP function does not deliver columns as the result but a table instead. Could this be the problem? Regarding to this we will have to change the output functinality of the ABAP-function to teliver colums instead of a table.
Thanks for your help,
regards

How to create crystal reports from ecc abap program?

Hi all,
I am new to sap ecc to bo report!!
I heard that abap program cannot be directly connected to crystal reports,
So created a function module which is equivalent to the abap program!!
And happened to connect the same in crystal !!
Can anyone let me know how to proceed !!
will be there any performance issue ?
can anyone guide me how to do reporting from ecc function module to crystal reports directly?
Thanks

Hi Pooja,
From what I know, not all ABAP programs can be accessed in Crystal Reports. The program should return rows and columns, otherwise, CR would not be able to report off it.
I'm not sure if there are any performance issues if we follow your path. Do you experience any?
And, do you need help in creating a report on the function module, I mean do you also have any design related queries?

Using Crystal Report to create reports from ABAP

Hello,
We are currently using Jetform as the designer for our outputs like Invoice, Order confirmation, etc.....
We would like to switch to Crystal instead, but don't really know where to start from.
- We already have crystal on our B/W instance
- The additional need for Crystal is in R/3, and would be triggered trough ABAPs.
What I am looking for. I guess, is the equivalent to when:
we call up smartforms from ABAP using the generated function modules
we call up sapscript from ABAP using the predefine function call (write_form open_form close_form, etc)
we call up Jetform using special control code along with the data, sent to a jetform configured printer
=> What kind of call would we then make to send data to Crystal Reports place holder and print them?
=> What kind basis set-up is needed to have to comunication between Crystal and SAP established?
Thank you in advance for yours hints

Hi,
You will likely be able to access the tables directly using the Opensql driver using Crystal Reports. I don't understand why you are assuming that an Infoset is necessary. Can you point me to the documentation that states that an Infoset is necessary?
In any case, if you want to create an Infoset, this is done in SQ02. You need to make sure that you belong to a user group in order for Crystal Report to see the infoset.

How can we use business object (e.g. crystal report ) in webdynpro abap

Hi All,
We all know that business object has been part of sap products.
But even though in SAP, I really don't know much about business object.
and how can we use the great function of BO and integrate into our development to make
user have much better function and user experience.
Do we have some learning material of BO?
Could someone share some material here?
Thanks and Regards
Aaron.

One of the main ways that you can integrate some Business Objects content with WDA is via FlashIslands. If you are on 7.01 or higher, you have the option to use FlashIslands UI element. There are many tutorials on FlashIslands available on SDN. FlashIslands work well with Xcelsius content, since the output of Xcelsius is a Flex component. It is pretty easy to set the Xcelsius interface to External Connection and then write a wrapper Flex Component around the generated output, so that it can be used in the FlashIslands interface.
For Crystal Reports integration you will need NetWeaver 7.02 (comming early next year). We have integrated Crystal Reports as an output option in the Web Dynpro ABAP ALV and the Classic Dynpro ALV. You don't need to do any development to enable this. You can use two different SAP delivered Crystal Reports templates for the ALV output, or create and add your own templates.
Some of ther BOBJ integration is still in prototype and demo phase within SAP. For instance we have a data interface to send data to Explorer onDemand from any ABAP application. We have a prototype FlashIsland for WebI to run in place within Web Dynpro ABAP. Over future enhancement packages you will see increased integration opportunties with the BOBJ capabilites.

ABAP reports to crystal reports

Hi,
what is the best way to convert 100 ABAP reports we have into crystal reports.
is there a tool for that by business objects or crystal reports or do we have to do it hand by hand, one ABAP report to
one crystal report. Please help.
Thanks.

No tool that I am aware of. You may want to post to an ABAB forum. Or, the Report Design forum:
SAP Crystal Reports
But I doubt they will be able to help either. I suspect recreating the reports will be your only option.

Convert abap reports into crystal reports

Hi,
We are trying to convert abap reports into crystal reports.We could convert these reports into XML files
Now we want to create utility which will automate the conversion of XML files into RPT files of crystal reports.Later on we can refresh the data in reports by changing the datasource location.
Can you please guide us whether it is possible and if yes how should we go about it?
regards,
shital

Hi, i suggest, 2 technies to do this, the first one, you can use,
CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>EXECUTE
EXPORTING
    APPLICATION            = 'C:\Program Files\crystalreports.exe'
EXCEPTIONS
    CNTL_ERROR             = 1
    ERROR_NO_GUI           = 2
    BAD_PARAMETER          = 3
    FILE_NOT_FOUND         = 4
    PATH_NOT_FOUND         = 5
    FILE_EXTENSION_UNKNOWN = 6
    ERROR_EXECUTE_FAILED   = 7
    SYNCHRONOUS_FAILED     = 8
    NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI   = 9
    OTHERS                 = 10.
where, exe file could be, a crviewer.exe, and, use a parameters ( on exe ) to indicate rpt file, or, define of standar mode, a generic name and put, xml file generated via abap, on a repository, this way, rpt file, when launched, displaying file.
the second choice, could be, go SM69, click create. enter a command name 'ZCREXE', enter the path and the exe file name in operating system command field. You can call this exe from ABAP using SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE.
i hope so that my answers help you.
greetings.

Passing parameters (range) to ABAP function from Crystal report

Hello experts,
Iu2019ve created an ABAP function which receives parameters from a Crystal report . It works very well with simple parameters.
In my crystal report I can see the fields with the prefix u201CI_u201D in the field explorer, and I can use this fields in my Function Modules perfectly.
The problem is to pass parameters like range or multiples values.
I would like to know how to put this parameters into the low and high values of the range and receive them in my Function Module in the ABAP layer.
Thanks in Advance,
