Certain reports, particularly some SAP reports, can be very long and complex. Style Sheet objects provide the necessary code to modify their layout to make it user-friendly. In a standard installation, the Stylesheets folder in Client 0 has the following predefined Style Sheet objects that provide SAP reports with an easy-to-read layout:

XSL.SAP.APPLICATIONLOG
XSL.SAP.JAVASTATISTICS
XSL.SAP.SPOOLDIRECTORY
XSL.SAP.STATISTICS
XSL.SAP.STEPLIST

They contain the necessary code to format the reports and give them a user-friendly layout.

Each object corresponds to a specific SAP report. By default, they are already assigned to their respective report types in the UC_REPORT_STYLESHEETS variable (see UC_REPORT_STYLESHEETS - Style Sheets for XML Reports).

You cannot display a report with a style sheet if

no Style Sheet object has been assigned to the report type.
the report has not completely been transferred due to an error.
the report is very long and must be transferred page by page.
the XML data cannot be correctly parsed.

Defining a Style Sheet Object

A Style Sheet object definition is made up of the following pages:

Standard pages that are always available, no matter what type of object you are defining:

The object-specific page in which you can define your own Style Sheet objects to either modify the layout provided by the standard ones or create completely different ones.
