Features

  • Both in the TOP_OF_PAGE and in the END_OF_PAGE events, you are able to determine the actual number of pages using the PAGE parameter.

  • In the TOP_OF_PAGE event, you are also able to use the TABLE_INDEX parameter to get the table index of the entry. The table index is displayed on the current page.

  • In order to be able to display the desired design object in the END_OF_PAGE event, you have to expressly reserve the required number of lines. To do this, use the method SET_RESERVE_LINES in the CL_SALV_PRINT class. With the GET_RESERVE_LINES method you determine how many lines are served.
