Creating List Formats
Use
The SAP standard formats for list printing specify in their names how many lines of how many characters can be printed per page. For example: X_65_80 (print 65 lines 80 characters wide per page); X_65_120 (print 65 lines 120 characters wide per page).
All list formats use a non-proportional font (except for device types that use HPL2 or PRES drivers for list output). For line printers, all formats assume that a printer uses a 12-inch paper length. For page printers, all assume LETTER or DINA4 paper size.
Procedure
...
1. Choose Administration → CCMS → Print → Spool Administration, Full Administration and then Format Types on the Device Types tab page
2. To create your new format, on the next screen choose Change and then Create or Create with reference.
Give the format a name starting with Y or Z (the reserved namespace for customers). This avoids conflicts with SAP standard formats. We recommend the following SAP naming conventions for list formats: Y or Z_<LL>_<CC> where <LL> is the number of lines to print on a page, <CC> is the number of characters to print on a line.
3. Enter L in the field Type (Format for ABAP lists). Choose Enter.
4. Enter ANY as the page format if you do not want to specify the page format. Before SAP R/3 4.5A, with the "X formats" used by the spool system for printing ABAP lists the paper size and alignment are specified but the page format is not required.
From SAP R/3 4.5A, list printer drivers interpret the page format and alignment specifications. You adapt the list size to the paper tray information in the output device.
5. Enter the line and column number of the area to be printed.
6. Optional: Select List Driver if your format is to be used for device types that use one of the list printing drivers (copies of device types HPLJ4000, KYOFS170, and POST2). Choose Enter.
7.
Choose 
List Driver Attributes to determine the
layout attributes. On the next screen you can determine the orientation of the
output and define the margins.
Note that the page format you selected (L or S) also exists with the orientation that you set for the format. If this is not the case, the system displays an error message.
8. Save your entries.
Result
To complete the implementation of a format, you need to define a device type format for the new format (for information on this, see Implementing Device Type Formats .)
