Expected Layout of the ALV report (when printing):
Step 1: Display each new document in a new page
To achieve this below routine is written to populate the IT_SORT table parameter of ALV function module REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY . And ALV will automatically insert page break whenever a new document is encountered.CONSTANTS: c_spos TYPE SLIS_SPOS VALUE '01', " Column position c_up TYPE SLIS_SOUP VALUE 'X', " Sorting order c_table TYPE tabname VALUE 'I_FINAL'," Name of o/p table c_group TYPE SLIS_CTRLS VALUE '*', " Sorting group c_fld2 TYPE fieldname VALUE 'IDCNGA04-IDCN037'." Field name(Document no)
* Prepare sort table PERFORM prepare_sort_table CHANGING i_sort[].
FORM prepare_sort_table CHANGING pi_sort TYPE slis_t_sortinfo_alv.
CLEAR st_sort. st_sort-spos = c_spos. " Sort sequence st_sort-fieldname = c_fld2. " Document no st_sort-tabname = c_table. " Table name st_sort-up = c_up. " Ascending st_sort-group = c_group. " Group
* Populate sort table APPEND st_sort TO pi_sort.
ENDFORM. "prepare_sort_table
Step 2: Reset page number to 1 for each new document
From ALV function module we cannot control the page numbers as it will automatically increment the page counter whenever a new page is printed. So to achieve this we have written our custom code within the TOP_OF_PAGE routine.
Register TOP_OF_PAGE routine with the TOP_OF_PAGE event in IT_EVENTS table parameter of the ALV function module.* Prepare event table PERFORM prepare_event_table.
FORM prepare_event_table .
* Populate top-of-page event st_event-name = slis_ev_top_of_page. st_event-form = slis_ev_top_of_page. APPEND st_event TO i_event.
CLEAR st_event.
ENDFORM. " prepare_event_table
Custom code to control the page number in TOP_OF_PAGE routine
Code block marked in bold are used to control the page number. As in our case we are using ALV grid to display the report so during report display page number is not visible. It is only visible in print preview or at the time of printing.
FORM top_of_page.

ENDFORM. " top_of_page
Step 3: Display report
Display the ALV report using 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' function module.CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' EXPORTING i_callback_program = l_prog " Call back progrm it_fieldcat = i_fieldcat_msg " Field catalog is_layout = st_layout " Layout it_sort = i_sort[] " Sort table i_save = c_save " 'A' is_variant = l_variant " ALV variant it_events = i_event " ALV events is_print = st_print " Print parameters TABLES t_outtab = i_final " Output table EXCEPTIONS program_error = 1 OTHERS = 2.
Result:
Report is displayed in ALV grid. Note that no page number is displayed. Now press the print preview button
Report is displayed in print preview with page numbers.
Limitations:
- For positioning the page number in the report we have to calculate the position based on the list width. As in this case we are using the formula
Page number position = sy-linsz – 10. But if you want you can change it.
- In print preview only 1st page number is visible for every document i.e. if a document spreading multiple pages only the 1st page number will be visible. You can see all the page numbers at the time of actual printing.
