Printing multiple employees on a page...!

Question

Hi Experts,
A standard HR ALV report when executed for printing. It is printing details of an employee in a new page altogether. Consider if there are 100 employees then the details of which are printed in 100 pages. I want multiple employees to be printed in a page.
The events that are passed to the ALV are TOP-OF-PAGE and END-OF-LIST.
I would like to know when given for printing why is that only single employee is printed in a page? How is this new page created?
Thanks in advance. <b><REMOVED BY MODERATOR></b>
Regards,
Anand Patil.

Restriction of number of records per page....
This is possible, using some of the events in the ALV.
You could use AFTER_LINE_OUTPUT event and call you form after say, a certain line count is reached on the list output.
  MOVE 'AFTER_LINE_OUTPUT' TO gw_event-name.
  MOVE 'AFTER_LINE_OUTPUT' TO gw_event-form.
  APPEND gw_event TO gt_events.
  CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'
       EXPORTING
            it_events                = gt_events[]
and define the form for each event as follows - this would be a dynamic call by the ALV.
*&      Form  after_line_output
      Form for the After Line Output Event in the internal table
     --> rs_lineinfo
FORM after_line_output USING rs_lineinfo TYPE slis_lineinfo.
  IF sy-linno eq v_linno.          "Defaulted value for line count
    perform write_footer.
    NEW-PAGE.
  ENDIF.
ENDFORM.                    " after_line_output
For lines per page:
rs_lineinfo-tabindex would give you the index of the current line in the list, which you could use to read the t_outtab table, and reduce the line count of items displayed on the earlier page.
There are a few other events too, like BEFORE_LINE_OUTPUT and END_OF_LIST which you can use as required and print the data.
