Text in Report Painter

Dear Friends,
I have added a table view for table ANLP in the report writer control tables using transaction GRCT. Everything is working fine except the text of the assets number. The system repeats the same text as the asset number.
The issue is with the text routine and the form pool. Does anyone know which text routine and form pool should i use to get the proper text?
Or is there a workaround to this issue. Please let me know.
Regards,
Vishal Thakur

Hello, Vishal
I've got the same problems as you had, but with another table. Where you able to find the solution?
Thank you!!

Text in Rows - Report Painter

Hi Gurus,
I´m making a FI report using report painter tool. I´ve a issue with text in rows. In this report, I´ve to show all values when Trading Partner is filling and when is empty.
I´ve created a set of Trading Partner values, but in this i can´t enter blank values and therefore if I use on report this set, I can´t see values when Trading Parnter is empty. In this case I´ve been seeing Trading Partner text.
By other hand, if I deselect this set and I select to see all Trading Partner values, including Trading Partner empty values, I can´t see Trading Partner text. For example: If my Trading Partner is XX and my Text YY, in my rows I should be:
XX YY
But in my report I´m saying
XX XX
And I can´t see text of Trading Parnter characteristic.
Any of you know how can I obtain text in report painter rows?

Never heard of this. Particularly interesting is that this happens after a few days? Weird. But let's trow SP1 at this and see:

Function Modules to Execute Report Painter Report

Hi Experts,
May I know if there is any way to execute the GR55 Report Painter reports, and get the report result back as a table?
I need this to write a program to export the result to a external system.
Many thanks!!!
Regards,
Chris

I am actually expecting a ABAP way to do so, but not to do that in foreground manually.
I found the solution anyway by using the below sample code:
*&      Form frm_retrieve_data
      text:Get report painter Result
FORM frm_retrieve_data .
DATA:lt_params TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF alv_s_param_wp,
       lwa_params TYPE alv_s_param_wp,
       lwa_msg    LIKE LINE OF gt_msg,
       lv_dcpfm   TYPE xudcpfm.
CLEAR:gt_data,gt_msg.
Set report painter Paramters
lwa_params-pname = '$PARAMETER[$ZRYEAR0'.
lwa_params-pvalue = sy-datum+0(4).
APPEND lwa_params TO lt_params .
lwa_params-pname = '$PARAMETER[$ZBUKRS0'.
lwa_params-pvalue = 'JNPC'.
APPEND lwa_params TO lt_params .
lwa_params-pname = '$PARAMETER[$ZBUKRS1'.
lwa_params-pvalue = 'JNPC'.
APPEND lwa_params TO lt_params .
lwa_params-pname = '$PARAMETER[$ZF-RP00'.
lwa_params-pvalue = sy-datum+4(2).
APPEND lwa_params TO lt_params .
CALL FUNCTION 'CRIF_RW_WEB_CALL_REPORT'
    EXPORTING
      i_report_group = 'JNZ1'
    TABLES
      it_params      = lt_params
      et_data        = gt_data
      et_messages    = gt_msg.
LOOP AT gt_msg INTO lwa_msg
    WHERE type = 'E' OR type = 'A'.
    gv_flg = cns_yes.
    EXIT.
ENDLOOP.
IF gv_flg IS INITIAL AND
     gt_data IS INITIAL.
    gv_flg = cns_nodata.

hi santosh,
Where Is Report Painter/Report Writer Used?
Initially, both tools were only available to the FI/CO modules. Later, with the introduction of the Logistics Information System and Flexible Analyses in Release 3.x, the functionality of these tools was further expanded. It still is not widely known that the Report Painter/Writer can be used for reporting against structures other than those delivered in FI and CO (see TechTalk on page 8-4).
A common misconception in the user community is that Report Painter/Report Writer can only be used to report against a single table. However, some reporting structures do report against multiple tables. For example, CCSS (for Cost Center Accounting) refers to tables COSP, COSS and more, depending on the key figure configuration. Similarly, FI-SL (Special Purpose Ledger) reporting structures include summary and line-item tables (the key figure set determines where the data comes from).
To configure other table joins, views may be created joining the necessary tables, and views can be added to the control tables, via Flexible Analyses in LIS. Report Painter/Report Writer can be used in almost any application area in R/3 to report on currencies and quantities.
Data tables supported
Both Report Painter and Report Writer can be used to report on the following tables and tables types:
< Evaluation structures set up in the Logistics Information System (LIS). These structures normally begin with an S or ZF. Several different tables and views within the R/3 System can be added as evaluation structures.
Note: You cannot add cluster tables, such as BSEG.
< CCSS is used for Cost Center Accounting (CO-CCA), Internal Orders (CO-OPA), Activity Based Costing (CO-ABC) and for cost element reports in Project Systems (PS).
< GLFUNCT is used for functional area reporting in cost-of-sales accounting.
< GLPCT and GLPCOP are used for Profit Center Accounting (CO-PCA/EC-PCA).
< FILC is used for Legal Consolidations (FI-LC).
< COFIT is used for the Controlling Reconciliation Ledger (CO-CEL).
< ZZ tables are created for the Special Purpose Ledger (FI-SL).
< FIMC is used for consolidations in the Enterprise Controlling module (EC-LC).
< GLT0 is used for Financial Accounting (General Ledger) reports by account, company, and business area (FI-GL).
< KKBC, KKBE, and KKBU are used for the Controlling Product Costing module (CO-Costing).
< New in Release 4.0A: RWCOOM is used for CO-CCA, CO-OPA, and CO-ABC. RWCOOM is used for special standard reports like internal order budget reports, cost center budget reports and cost component reports.
Note: RPPS was used for Project Systems (PS). However, it is obsolete and will no longer be supported in Release 4.0. In Release 3.x there were only two special reports (6P70 and 6P71) using RPPS. These reports cannot be called directly, but via ABAP reports RKOPLAN0 and RKOPLAN1.
How to Access Report Painter/Report Writer?
To access the Report Painter you may use either of the following two methods:
< Transaction FGRP
< From the SAP main menu, choose Information systems ® Ad hoc reports® Report painter.
Report Writer functions can be accessed from within the Report Painter. To access Report Writer, choose the following menu path from the SAP main menu:
Information systems ® Ad hoc reports® Report painter® Report Writer.
How Is Report Painter/Report Writer Organized?
Report Painter/Report Writer has four main components:
< Sets: Sets are logical groupings of characteristic values. For example, a cash line on a balance sheet is made up of a set of cash accounts or an energy product line on an inventory report is made up of a set of energy products. Variables can also be created which are placeholders for sets, or values within sets.
< Libraries: Libraries control which characteristics and key figures from a table are available for reporting.
< Reports: Reports hold a definition of the rows, columns, and overall data selection. They also include the header and footer texts and layout settings.
< Report Groups: Report groups can contain one or more reports. The report group is what you executenot the actual report. A report group is generated to create a set of ABAP programs that produce the reports.
How Does Report Painter Differ from Other Reporting Tools?
< With the exception of row titles which have text fields, Report Painter/Report Writer reports display numerical fields only (for example, dollar and quantity fields). This is not a requirement for ABAP Query and typical line item reporting tools, which can display arbitrary text columns.
< While printed Report Painter/Report Writer reports appear much the same way on paper as they do on screen, the Drilldown reporting tool produces a different output format. Drilldown reporting is an online analytical tool which can be used to drill down to different levels of detail, but it is infrequently used for printing.
< Report Painter/Report Writer reports are hierarchical and take advantage of configured hierarchies (for example, with cost center hierarchies). You can also execute Report Painter/Report Writer reports from each level within a hierarchy.
< Report Painter/Report Writer reports can handle multiple currency/quantity units within a single column.
< Report Painter/Report Writer is well suited to handle reports that require mass production. For example, Report Painter/Report Writer is a particularly effective tool for creating month-end reports.

Report Painter - adding columns with any texts.....

Hello !
Whether probably in Report Painter to create additional columns (adhered to columns of data) and to write there manually demanded texts for lines ?

Please help and thanks for your help!

Report painter - Choosing column heading text

Hi SDN
I'm having a specific problem with getting the right column heading text into my G/L report painter report created in FGI2/FGI5. In the report painter form I have created the three texts for my column (short, medium and long text). In order for the heading to be meaningful I need the report to show the medium or long text. This is also the case when I run the report as object type Object list. Here the medium text is displayed. However, when I run the report as a Classic drilldown report or a Graphical report output the short column heading text is shown.
Now, I know from running the standard report 0SAPBLNCE-01 in FGI0 that it is possible to have the long column header text shown in the report, so I'm not willing to give up. But can any of you guys help me on how to make the report show the correct text?
Kind rgds
Steen Koefoed

Hi Anna and thanks for your suggestion. I have tried changing the header text length in the form as you suggested, but it does not seem to affect the display in neither of the three output types of the report. I assume that there must be a way to control the text header length specifically for each of the three output types. But how....
