Additions



1. ... NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING
2. ... LINE-SIZE col
3. ... LINE-COUNT lin(n)
4. ... MESSAGE-ID xx
5. ... DEFINING DATABASE ldb

Effect
Introduces the report. You can choose any name you like up to 8 characters long.

Example

REPORT ZREPNAME.


Note
Only standard SAP reports should begin with 'R'.

Addition 1
... NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING

Effect
Suppresses output of the standard page header (see NEW-PAGE ).

Addition 2
... LINE-SIZE col

Effect
Creates a report with col columns per line. The maximum line length permitted is 255 characters.
If the LINE-SIZE specification is missing, the line length corresponds to the current screen width. The system field SY-LINSZ contains the current line size for generating reports (see NEW-PAGE ... LINE-SIZE ).

Notes
The specified LINE-SIZE must not appear in quotation marks.
If the you want the report list (i.e. the output) to be printable, do not define a LINE-SIZE with a value greater than 132 because most printers cannot handle wider lists.


Example

REPORT ZREPNAME LINE-SIZE 132.


Addition 3
... LINE-COUNT lin(n)

Effect
Creates a report with lin lines per page, of which n lines are reserved for the END-OF-PAGE processing. If you omit the " (n) ", the default value 0 applies. The system field SY-LINCT contains the current number of lines per page for generating reports.
If the LINE-COUNT specification is missing, the number of lines per page is calculated dynamically from the number of lines actually output on this page. Here, a page break no longer occurs automatically, but must be specified explicitly with NEW-PAGE , and the system field SY-LINCT is set to 0. (NEW-PAGE ... LINE-COUNT )

Note
The LINE-COUNT must not be enclosed in quotation marks. Further information about using LINE-COUNT .

Examples

REPORT ZREPNAME LINE-COUNT 65.


The page has 65 lines.


REPORT ZREPNAME LINE-COUNT 65(8).


The page has 65 lines, of which the last 8 are only defined by END-OF-PAGE .

Addition 4
... MESSAGE-ID xx

Effect
Takes the messages output by MESSAGE under the specified 2-character ID xx from table T100 .

Note
This ID must not be enclosed in quotation marks.

Example

REPORT RSTEST00 MESSAGE-ID SY.


Addition 5
... DEFINING DATABASE ...

Effect
All the database programs must specify in the REPORT statement the three-character name of the logical database to which they belong.
This addition is generated automatically (in the REPORT statement) when you create a logical database by selecting Utilities -> Development/test -> Logical databases .

Example

REPORT SAPDBKDF DEFINING DATABASE KDF.
