How we format the data beofore before write statment in report

we can format the reports output by using the loop events like:

1.at first

2.at new

3.at last

etc check docu

First, create a variable say d likeDATA D LIKE SY-DATUM.Then assign the date to D likeD = 'YYYYMMDD'.

using FORMAT ON/OFF statement.... for example ,

 FORMAT COLOR col_heading ON INTENSIFIED ON INVERSE ON.
 write 'hi how are you'.
 FORMAT RESET.

this statement will format the output of the write statement in the color grey-blue i.e. color of COL_HEADING.

note:- if you specify the format using the write statement then the format in write statement will have the priority. see below:

 FORMAT COLOR col_heading ON INTENSIFIED ON INVERSE ON.
 write 'hi how are you'. COLOR col_total .
 FORMAT RESET.

this will give output in yellow color and format in the FORMAT statement will not work as explained below.
