I had made couple of SD reports in report painter 4 year ago .. as far as process is concern you have create library , but it deals with information structure which start with s0* , after defining information structure in library it take to select the fields and display them on your out put . information structure have the statistical data most of the time . As i worked on information structure , so31,32,33 .....
I t creates ABAP program like ABAP query creates in background . if you execute Customer Over due analysis or in Co02 cost analysis report or MC* ( MM stock reports ) those are in report painter .
Hope this'll give you some guide line ...
As far as I know about report painter, It create a report in background..Like when you make ABAP query (SQ01, 02, 03 ) .. It will create a report. You cant modify the report . You have to get OSS id in order to do that. if you're ready do it then you can pass it to Memory and can achieve your goal ...
I think it will give you some hint. I wish I could have authorization to use report painter on my this project so I can help you out practically.
Please see these steps , it`ll help you ...

The variation objects are coming from the sets.
For example, when you read the report 'Cost Centers: Actual/Plan/Variance'(T-code : S_ALR_87013611), you can find the characteristic 'Cost Center' is set as a 'set variable'. So the cost center in the report left side are coming from the cost center group that you input.
Does any know if we could use Report Painter across two controlling areas? Any documentation available will be great. Yes. When setting up a report in CCA you can have multiple controlling areas. In the General data selection you will have the option for the CA as a selection.
You can also use standard references objects to construct your own reports: libraries, standard layouts, default columns, and row and column models, all in the standard R/3 System, are available for custom reports.
Report Painter report definition requires several Preparatory Steps, depending on the complexity of the report to be generated.
1) Create a library and pick your reporting tables.
2) Create your report
3) define your set up within the report
a)General data selections
b)Colimns
c) rows
d) formulas
Standard layouts are maintained in the IMG "Financial Accounting" under "Special Ledger -> Information System -> Maintain standard layout.
Create libraries, which means assigning the
characteristics
key figures
Predefined columns
For each of these categories you need to select the objects to be used in reports of the specific library. You define the sequence of the objects in the selection lists of the Report Painter in field "Position". Frequently used objects should be at the top of the list.

Is it possible to make bigger the text a I have on a text field?, Im using the screen painter and I need to put the title bigger (as a requirment).
You can define your text as any length.If you are talking about the font,i am afraid you cannot do that.
No, you can not change the size(font) of the text on the dynpro, you can hightlight it, which changes the color to "blue" to make it stand out. You can change this on the attributes tab when double-clicking on the element in screen painter.
what is the sentence that open a screen painter file
Don´t really understand what you mean with "open a screen painter file".
If you are speaking about showing a form generated with the screen painter,
Dim oXMLDoc As New MSXML2.DOMDocument
oXMLDoc.load("Form.xml")
SBO_Application.LoadBatchActions(oXMLDoc.xml)
Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form
oForm = SBO_Application.Forms.Item("YourFormID")
oForm.Visible = True

yoshitada

Dear Sadashivan
Thanks for your info.
I tried the way you mentioned.
However, the thing I want to do is not to change the font color of specified column.
The thing I want to do is to setup the threshhold such as percentage or amount
and emphasize the data which over the threshhold by changing the color
automatically.
Thanks anyway.

How do we track back the ABAP queries/report painter used to custom report?

Hi Experts,
I only have some ideas about report painter and ABAP query. If a company has a number of different Z reports in production.
1. How do we identify if it's report painter/writer or ABAP query??
2. For ABAP query report, suppose that i can identify one. If i am given a Z tcode of that report and identify the program of that report behind it, How do i know what query that program belongs to?? What are the steps i go back in SQ03 to view that query??
3. For report painter, starting from ztcode of the report, where do i check and track the original painter of that report??
Please help clarify my doubts..
Monica

Hi Monica,
For report painter/writer, you can identified it by go to
Environment --> Technical information when you execute your Z-tcode.
To refer back to the report painter/writer t-code you just need to double click oh the report group that you see by clicking the link above.
Thanks,
Victor.

T.Code for Report painter report

Hi,
Is there a way to assign a T.Code to the Report painter report, so that users do not have to go to GR53.
thanks & Regards
Rose

thanks Eli, I tried this in Sandbox and it looks good.
You seem to know a lot about Report Painter, I hope you would be able to certainly help me understand this :
My predecessor here, created a report painter report and then asked the ABAP team to copy the report painter program (its like a query name) to a Z Prpgram and assign a transaction code. As I hear this was done to avoid the authorization issues.. (???) when this was moved to Testing Dev client, all this worked But when we moved this to QA, the error "program doesnot exist" made us to change the zprogram to remove the logic that the program had to check for the Client, in which the report was created. We removed that but then it then includes started giving the same error. so this will surely not work.
So, my question is : when this simple way of giving a report painter report a t.code with the defaults, would there be any auth issues that you can think of ???
thanks in advance.
Regards
Rose

Report Painter - Adding Total lines on Report

Hello -
My client wants to add a single line above all of his sub-totals and a double-line above his grand total.
I can't find where to do that.
I think if I were to use report writer and row blocks, I could do it, but not sure about report painter.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Natalie

Hello - I don't see Insert Diving Line after I click Insert Blank Line.
Where is that?
If I insert a blank line and then double click on the blank line to add a line like the following: "__________" for sub totals, etc, I can't. I can only add another characteristic or formula in the blank line.
Please help and thanks for your help!

Report Painter/ Report writer

Hi,
Report Writer enables you to report on data from multiple applications. Using functions such as sets, variables, formulas, cells and key figures, you can create complex reports that meet specific reporting requirements.
The Report Painter is similar to the Report Writer, but is simpler to use.The main components of report painter are characterestics and basic key figure.
The majority of reports end users use in the R/3 System is Report Painter reports. Most of these reports (@ 80+ %) began as Report Writer reports.
The major difference is Report Painter uses a graphical interface (analogous to Notepad and MS Word).
Very few R/3 users employ Report Writer however, many still use, modify and develop reports using Report Painter. Report Painter permits complex groupings and drill-down reporting very useful for such applications as FI-CO and SD. It can also be used interactively allowing users to enter variables for specific steps; thereby permitting drill-across' functionality.
However, Report Painter does have its limitations; it can display only numeric data (excluding column headers) therefore, short text, etc. is not available. It is much easier (quicker) to modify than ABAP and requires no ABAP expertise however, many combine Report Painter with ABAP reports to fill-in many of the missing pieces. Layout design is archaic and rudimentary ~ therefore; many use Report Painter to retrieve and massage the data' and eventually export it into Excel for end use.

What is Report Painter in Abap ?

What is Report Painter in Abap ?
How we can write a simple report through report painter .
It's Tcode , How to proceed ?
I developed several report through ABAP , but i have no clue about Report Painter .
What is advantage to using it .
Plz give some Example .
Regards : rajneesh

Hi rajneesh,
Report Painter : -
You use the Report Painter to create reports from data in the Special Purpose Ledger (FI-SL) application component and other R/3 application components to meet your specific reporting requirements.Advantages of the Report Painter include:--Easy and flexible report definitionReport definition without using setsDirect layout controlABAP QueryThe SAP Query application is used to create reports not already contained in the default. It has been designed for users with little or no knowledge of the SAP programming language ABAP.SAP Query offers users a broad range of ways to define reports and create different types of reports such as basic lists, statistics, and ranked lists. ABAP Report--
A ABAP Report is the one which is used to display the output in the form of list with out any GUI screen.It is less userinteraction. or Reading and displaying data, for example in a list. Obsolete name for an execution program that can only implement reporting
Report Painter allows you to create reports using data from SAP application components, which you can adapt to meet your individual requirements.
Many of your reporting requirements can already be met by using the standard reports provided by various SAP application components. If these SAP standard reports do not meet your reporting needs, Report Painter enables you to define your specific reports quickly and easily.
Report Painter fulfills a function similar to Report Writer, but is easier to use. Most of the functions found in Report Writer have been built into Report Painter; however, you do not need to be familiar with all Report Writer concepts (such as Sets) in order to use Report Painter.
When executing a Report Painter report, it is displayed by the system in Report Writer format. You thus have access to the same functions as for Report Writer reports defined in the same way, and can combine Report Painter and Report Writer reports together in a report group.
Report Painter uses a graphical report structure, which forms the basis for your report definition and displays the rows and columns as they appear in the final report output.
To facilitate report definition, you can use many of the standard reporting objects provided by SAP (such as libraries, row/column models, and standard layouts) in your own specific reports. When you define a Report Painter report you can use groups (sets). You can also enter characteristic values directly.
Advantages of Report Painter include:
Flexible and simple report definition
Report definition without using sets
Direct layout control: The rows and columns are displayed in the report definition as they appear in the final report output, making test runs unnecessary.
