Individual Page Header
To create the layout a page header individually, you must define it in the processing block after the event keyword TOP-OF-PAGE:
Syntax
TOP-OF-PAGE.
WRITE:
....
The TOP-OF-PAGE event occurs as soon as the system starts processing a new page of a list. The system processes the statements following TOP-OF-PAGE before outputting the first line on a new page. For information on events and processing blocks, see Controlling the Flow of ABAP Programs by Events.
Remember to end the processing block following TOP-OF-PAGE by specifying an appropriate event keyword – for example, START-OF-SELECTION – if you want to start processing the actual list afterwards (see Defining Processing Blocks).
The self-defined page header appears beneath the standard page header. If you want to suppress the standard page header, use the NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING option of the REPORT statement:
Syntax
REPORT rep NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.
When you use this statement, the system does not display a standard page header on the pages of a list of program rep. If you have defined an individual page header using TOP-OF-PAGE, the system displays it.
During the event TOP-OF-PAGE, you can also fill the system fields sy-tvar0 through sy-tvar9 with values that should replace possible placeholders &0 to &9 in the standard page header.
When you scroll vertically, the self-defined page header remains visible as does the standard page header. However, the self-defined page header consists of normal list lines and therefore does not adapt automatically to the window width.

This program does not use the standard page header, but one that is self-defined following TOP-OF-PAGE. It is necessary to specify the event keyword START-OF-SELECTION to implicitly end the TOP-OF-PAGE processing block. The output appears as follows:
The self-defined page header consists of six lines. The program title comes from the sy-title system field, the page number from sy-pagno. The self-defined page header is not as wide as the list.
