Formatting in ALV report

Question

Hi All,
I wanted to do the formatting in ALV report output. How I can do that?
Formatting means colour the field, & all.
If possible send me any sample code..
Regards,
Poonam

hi
Coloring a row is a bit (really a bit) more complicated. To enable row coloring, you should add an additional field to your list data table. It should be of character type and length at least 4. This field will contain the color code for the row. So, let’s modify declaration of our list data table “gt_list”.
Code Part 13 – Adding the field that will contain row color data
As you guess, you should fill the color code to this field. Its format will be the same as explained before at section C.6.3. But how will ALV Grid know that you have loaded the color data for the row to this field. So, you make it know this by 1/0: intensifiedon/off - - 1/0: inverseon/off
Color numbers
Internal table holding list data
DATA BEGIN OF gt_list OCCURS 0 .
INCLUDE STRUCTURE SFLIGHT .
DATA rowcolor(4) TYPE c .
DATA END OF gt_list .
Passing the name of the field containing color codes to the field “INFO_FNAME” of the layout structure.
e.g. ps_layout-info_fname = <field_name_containing_color_codes>. “e.g. ‘ROWCOLOR’
You can fill that field anytime during execution. But, of course, due to the flow logic of screens, it will be reflected to your list display as soon as an ALV refresh occurs. You can color an entire row as described in the next section. However, this method is less time consuming.
Here is a sample program.
report zrich_0002 .

Copy and paste this program, click a checkbox from the right and click execute. The program will color the line, column, or cell.
