Dynamic columns in SAP script

Question

Hi,
I have asked to provide a matrix type layout in SAP Script.Also in this matrix, number of columns is not fixed. At runtime it will be decided that how many columns will be there on the layout depending on the data fetch by the program. Can we provide this using requirement using SAP script or smartforms.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Vatsa,
Just before getting into the SAP-script, determine how many columns needs to be displayed in the output and pass that variable to the SAP-script.
In SAP-script, whereever you define the BOX for displaying the columns, use the following commands. Use the necessary size for the width of the column.
An example is given below.
Data: W_No_of_Columns&>  type i.
/:           IF &<W_No_of_Columns&> EQ '4'
/:           BOX HEIGHT '22.20' LN WIDTH '59' CH FRAME 10 TW
/:           BOX HEIGHT '22.20' LN WIDTH '6.5' CH FRAME 10 TW
/:           BOX HEIGHT '22.20' LN WIDTH '15' CH FRAME 10 TW
/:           BOX HEIGHT '22.20' LN WIDTH '25' CH FRAME 10 TW
/:           BOX HEIGHT '22.20' LN WIDTH '36.5' CH FRAME 10 TW
                ENDIF.
/:           IF &<W_No_of_Columns& EQ '5'
/:           BOX HEIGHT '22.20' LN WIDTH '59' CH FRAME 10 TW
/:           BOX HEIGHT '22.20' LN WIDTH '6.5' CH FRAME 10 TW
/:           BOX HEIGHT '22.20' LN WIDTH '15' CH FRAME 10 TW
/:           BOX HEIGHT '22.20' LN WIDTH '25' CH FRAME 10 TW
/:           BOX HEIGHT '22.20' LN WIDTH '35' CH FRAME 10 TW
/:           BOX HEIGHT '22.20' LN WIDTH '45' CH FRAME 10 TW
                ENDIF.
Hope this helps.
