Printing with ALV Grid

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am using ALV List and ALV grid in one of my custom reports.

There is no issue with ALV List when I print the report after running the program.

But when I use ALV Grid , the report runs good and when I try to print the report I get short dump "OBJECTS_NOT_CHARLIKE" in program "LKKBLF99" of the main program "SAPLKKBL".

I am using the function module "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY" to run the report using ALV Grid and I get the above short dump when I try to print the report.

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks,

Ashok.

just check Unicode checks active checked on the program attributes screen.

In SE38, you can edit the attributes and uncheck this flag. Unicode has very strict data validation.

Hi,

This problem usually comes if you manually build the field catalog and there some fields like DATATYPE, TABNAME are missing.

Try to generate the field catalog using a strcuture / table.

Hi,

i'm sure it is the problem with the declarations of your itab, can you show your code.

just one additional hint:

when an ALV GRID is printed, it is converted into an ALV List. In the list, you have additional events (i.e. TOP_OF_PAGE,...) processed. Also, special table fields for colors or icons may cause trouble if not properly defined.

You can check the behavior using the print-preview icon in the grid top row.
