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.
