SAP Note 17917 - Column Break in Formula Rows

Symptom:

1. Formula rows in reports do not always use column breaks as defined in the column blocks. As a result, more columns may be printed on a page for a formula row than are printed for row sets.
2. If "Suppress zero columns" was checked off in the report layout, zero columns are not suppressed for formula rows. As a result, formula rows and rows from row sets can have different numbers of columns.
3.The following problem may also occur in Releases 2.2D, 2.2E, and 2.2F: If a report group contains several reports, in one report only are the text columns printed but with the data columns entirely missing. In this case, install the corrections below.
4. In Release levels up to and including 2.2F, empty spaces between column blocks are not used for formula rows.
5. In Release levels up to and including 2.2F, no values are displayed in formula rows after the column width is changed to zero (Hide column).
6. When you define several columns with a column width of 0, this can also lead to an endless loop in processing, thus causing the report execution to terminate with a runtime error.
