Report Text 

Use

In a Report Painter or Report Writer report, you can enter texts for the following:

·        Title page

·        Headers

·        Footers

·        End page

These texts are used for list output and exports in text format.

·        Text for export

The text for export is used for Office integration and for exports into HTML or spreadsheet format.

The definition of report texts in the Report Painter is similar to that in the Report Writer.

You can also define report texts in the report output. SAP recommends that you enter report texts only after the report has been executed and output. This allows you to see which values the report text variables will use.

Prerequisites

You can only change texts in the report output if the report uses a standard layout in which the Change allwd dur exctn indicator is selected on the Page/Control screen. You cannot change texts in standard reports included with your SAP system.

Features

You can enter the following types of texts for report texts:

·        Normal text

·        Standard text variables such as the date, user name, and page number

·        Special text variables

·        Text variables for selection parameters

·        Text variables for characteristics used in the text
