Dynamic BOX in sapscript

Hi,
I am using the BOX control command in SapScript.
Is it possible to assign the values of Xpos and Ypos
dynamicalliy.
In BOX XPOS 16 CH WIDTH 0 MM HEIGHT 18 MM FRAME 10 TW,
i want to assign the values at runtime, instead of
xpos 16 , something like Xpos Var, where var contain the value of xposition.
or any other method to print dynamic box in sap script

Hi
yes it is possible
see this
SAPScripts
POSITION WINDOW
SIZE WIDTH '160' MM HEIGHT '140' MM
BOX FRAME 10 TW
Box
BOX HEIGHT '11' MM WIDTH '160' MM FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 35
linessssssss
BOX XPOS '20' MM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '140' MM FRAME 10 TW
BOX XPOS '45' MM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '140' MM FRAME 10 TW
BOX XPOS '80' MM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '140' MM FRAME 10 TW
BOX XPOS '120' MM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '140' MM FRAME 10 TW
Boxes, Lines, Shading: BOX, POSITION, SIZE
Use the BOX, POSITION, and SIZE commands for drawing boxes, lines, and shading to print particular windows within a form or passages of text within a window in a frame or with shading.
The SAP printer drivers that are based on page-oriented printers (the HP LaserJet driver HPL2, the Postscript driver POST, the Kyocera Prescribe driver PRES) employ these commands when printing. Line printers and page-oriented printers not supported in the standard ignore these commands. You can view the resulting printer output in the SAPscript print preview.
Syntax:
/: BOX [XPOS] [YPOS] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [FRAME] [INTENSITY]
/: POSITION [XORIGIN] [YORIGIN] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
/: SIZE [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
BOX Command
Syntax
/: BOX [XPOS] [YPOS] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [FRAME] [INTENSITY]
Effect: draws a box of the specified size at the specified position.
Parameters: For each of XPOS, YPOS, WIDTH, HEIGHT, and FRAME, you must specify both a measurement and a unit of measurement. Specify the INTENSITY parameter as a percentage between 0 and 100.
XPOS, YPOS
Upper left corner of the box, relative to the values of the POSITION command.
Default: Values specified in the POSITION command.
The following calculation is performed internally to determine the absolute output position of a box on the page:
X(abs) = XORIGIN + XPOS
Y(abs) = YORIGIN + YPOS
WIDTH
Width of the box. Default: WIDTH value of the SIZE command.
HEIGHT
Height of the box. Default: HEIGHT value of the SIZE command.
FRAME
Thickness of frame.
Default: 0 (no frame).
INTENSITY
Grayscale of box contents as %.
Default: 100 (full black)
Measurements: You must specify decimal numbers as literal values (like ABAP numeric constants) by enclosing them in inverted commas. Use the period as the decimal point character. See also the examples listed below.
Units of measurement: The following units of measurement may be used:
TW (twip)
PT (point)
IN (inch)
MM (millimeter)
CM (centimeter)
LN (line)
CH (character).
The following conversion factors apply:
1 TW = 1/20 PT
1 PT = 1/72 IN
1 IN = 2.54 CM
1 CM = 10 MM
1 CH = height of a character relative to the CPI specification in the form header
1 LN = height of a line relative to the LPI specification in the form header
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW
Draws a frame around the current window with a frame thickness of 10 TW (= 0.5 PT).
/: BOX INTENSITY 10
Fills the window background with shading having a gray scale of 10 %.
/: BOX HEIGHT 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
Draws a horizontal line across the complete top edge of the window.
/: BOX WIDTH 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
Draws a vertical line along the complete height of the left hand edge of the window.
/: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT 1 CM FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 15
/: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
/: BOX XPOS '10.0' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
/: BOX XPOS '13.5' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
Draws two rectangles and two lines to construct a table of three columns with a highlighted heading section.
POSITION Command
Syntax
/: POSITION [XORIGIN] [YORIGIN] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
Effect: Sets the origin for the coordinate system used by the XPOS and YPOS parameters of the BOX command. When a window is first started, the POSITION value is set to refer to the upper left corner of the window (default setting).
Parameters: If a parameter value does not have a leading sign, then its value is interpreted as an absolute value, in other words, as a value that specifies an offset from the upper left corner of the output page. If a parameter value is specified with a leading sign, then the new value of the parameter is calculated relative to the old value. If one of the parameter specifications is missing, then no change is made to this parameter.
XORIGIN, YORIGIN
Origin of the coordinate system.
WINDOW
Sets the values for the left and upper edges to match those of the current window (default setting).
PAGE
Sets the values for the left and upper edges to match those of the current output page (XORIGIN = 0 cm, YORIGIN = 0 cm).
/: POSITION WINDOW
Sets the origin for the coordinate system to the upper left corner of the window.
/: POSITION XORIGIN 2 CM YORIGIN '2.5 CM'
Sets the origin for the coordinate system to a point 2 cm from the left edge and 2.5 cm from the upper edge of the output page.
/: POSITION XORIGIN '-1.5' CM YORIGIN -1 CM
Shifts the origin for the coordinates 1.5 cm to the left and 1 cm up.
SIZE Command
Syntax
/: SIZE [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
Effect: Sets the values of the WIDTH and HEIGHT parameters used in the BOX command. When a window is first started, the SIZE value is set to the same values as the window itself (default setting).
Parameters: If one of the parameter specifications is missing, then no change is made to the current value of this parameter. If a parameter value does not have a leading sign, then its value is interpreted as an absolute value. If a parameter value is specified with a leading sign, then the new value of the parameter is calculated relative to the old value.
WIDTH, HEIGHT
Dimensions of the rectangle or line.
WINDOW
Sets the values for the width and height to the values of the current window (default setting).
PAGE
Sets the values for the width and height to the values of the current output page.
/: SIZE WINDOW
Sets WIDTH and HEIGHT to the current window dimensions.
/: SIZE WIDTH '3.5' CM HEIGHT '7.6' CM
Sets WIDTH to 3.5 cm and HEIGHT to 7.6 cm.
/: POSITION WINDOW
/: POSITION XORIGIN -20 TW YORIGIN -20 TW
/: SIZE WIDTH +40 TW HEIGHT +40 TW
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW
A frame is added to the current window. The edges of the frame extend beyond the edges of the window itself, so as to avoid obscuring the leading and trailing text characters.

How to print dynamic box according to the Element. I have an element with looping condition when i used box the line only printed on the first loop, but and no line printed on the next looping even though its is different element.. Below is the sneak peak of my code.
/E 101
/:   BOX WIDTH 0 MM HEIGHT '2' MM FRAME 20 TW
/:   POSITION YORIGIN '+2' MM
W2   <B>&text&</><B>,,&zvalue&</>
Thank you

Hi
it is very hard to print a dynamic box with sapscript.
It is more easy to develop a new-smartform then to develop a dynamic box.
i know only 1 sapscript which is using dynamic boxes. I do not know the sapscript only the fucntional name we use. That is shopfloor papers (for a production order). It has a good combination of printprogram and sapscript which both has to be working together to get it done. Try to find it and study it. Then you will find out how it works.
There is no way to get it done with only changes in your sapscript.
an alternative is to use tab's and '|' and ulines to make something that look a bit like boxes.
Hope this will help you out.

Dynamic Box Formatting in Scripts

Hi,
My requirement is ,
This is regarding to SAPScripts.
I should populate some data in a box.

Hi Manjunath,
Here is the code which can help you get the dynamic box's from the script.
Here the element is TAB.
There is a loop for this element in the driver program.
Here the code works this way the YORIGIN is incremented by 0.6CM each time it is in the loop thus drawing tables dynamically.
/E TAB
/: POSITION XORIGIN '0.9' CM YORIGIN '+0.6' CM
/: SIZE WIDTH '3.0' CM HEIGHT '0.6' CM
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW.
/: POSITION XORIGIN '3.9' CM
/: SIZE WIDTH '7.3' CM HEIGHT '0.6' CM
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW.
/: POSITION XORIGIN '11.2' CM
/: SIZE WIDTH '2.8' CM HEIGHT '0.6' CM
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW.
/: POSITION XORIGIN '14' CM
/: SIZE WIDTH '2.6' CM HEIGHT '0.6' CM
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW.
/: POSITION XORIGIN '16.6' CM
/: SIZE WIDTH '3.2' CM HEIGHT '0.6' CM
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW

Printing dynamic box in main window in scripts

hi ,
I want to print the dynamic box in main window of my script.
Ex. Suppose the content of the main window is 5 lines so it should print box for 5 those lines only.

Hi,
Create a Main window with only 2 lines, Give a BOX command it will give u Border for entire Main window.
/:BOX FRAME 10 TW
For giving vertical lines Syntax is
/:BOX XPOS 16 CH YPOS 0 LN WIDTH '0' CM HEIGHT 2 LN FRAME 10 TW
It gives u a vertical line at 16 character. so for ur requirment add another command at another XPOS.
Try this below just below ur ITEM ELEMENT which has the display fields.
Main Window
/E ITEM_A
A,,,,&ITAB-ABC&,,&ITAB-XXX&,,&ITAB-CDE&,,&ITAB-GEF&
/:BOX FRAME 10 TW
/:BOX XPOS 16 CH YPOS 0 LN WIDTH '0' CM HEIGHT 2 LN FRAME 10 TW
/:BOX XPOS 26 CH YPOS 0 LN WIDTH '0' CM HEIGHT 2 LN FRAME 10 TW
/:BOX XPOS 36 CH YPOS 0 LN WIDTH '0' CM HEIGHT 2 LN FRAME 10 TW
/:BOX XPOS 46 CH YPOS 0 LN WIDTH '0' CM HEIGHT 2 LN FRAME 10 TW
Change XPOS according to ur requirement.
Now add another main window to the same page with changing UPPER margin, U can add upto 99 Main windows in one page.
So add upto ur Page is full.
For headings
Create a Variable window same as Main window, in place of fields, give descriptions.
Make sure that u give BOX command below the field declaration, if u give above, for last record it will not print box.

Output a shaded box in SAPScript with Dot Matrix Printer

Hi guys,
Is there a way to print a shaded box in Sapscript using Dot matrix printer?
BOX XPOS '4'CM YPOS '2.8'CM WIDTH '2'CM HEIGHT '0.4'CM FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 100
I tried the code as above but it wouldn't work, and doing a search on this forum tells me box command wouldn't work on dot matrix printer. So is there any alternative to do this?

Hi
if it is possible try to print the same in another printer and confirm the problem
no doubt certain printers may create such problems while printing the output
so to confirm the problem try with other printer.

Dynamic Box in script

Hi,
I have a script which currently prints a number of item details.
Users want to change the layout so that the result is given in tabular format,i.e, the item details need to be displayed in rows and column format. As the number of items can vary, could you please help me with the logic of displaying this using script?
Thanks in advance,
Neethu

Hi,
Creating dynamic boxes in script is possible but formatting and getting proper allignment is very tedious job. I had similar requirement for creating dynamic boxes in SAP Script, but getting right allignment of those boxes was not possible and hence I switched to smartform. So I would advise you the same to use smartform for such type of requirement. In smartforms it becomes very easy.
Still try the following syntax:
/:POSITION XORIGIN '5' CM YORIGIN '5'CM
/:SIZE HEIGHT '0' CM WIDTH '0' CM
/:BOX FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 10
Hope this helps.

Dynamic BOX-es in SAPScript

Hi!
I would like to reduce the coding in my SAPScript so I would like to use variables to position the BOX-es.
I would like to write a line with values, and print a box around the items.
I imagined it somehow like this:
/E ITEMS
/: &wa_pa0002-nachn& &wa_pa0002-vorna& (&wa_pa0002-pernr&)
/: BOX XPOS 0 CM YPOS &GV_Y_POS& CM HEIGHT 1 CM WIDTH 10 CM FRAME 10 TW
The &GV_Y_POS& is manipulated in the printer program. Anyways it is not working.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance

Dynamic box position in SAPscript

Hello,
I need to put a box in the Main window after I print all line details and other things on the invoice. How can I find the current line position (Y position), so I can pass it to the POSITION command.
Thanks
Igor

Hi Rich, Sam and Rob,
Thanks for you reply. This is exactly what I need.
I need to print totals box after the details on the same page of the invoice. The number of detail lines (and pages) is variable. That's why I have to put it in the Main window.
Now it is printed on separate page (next page), but they want it on the same page as details if it fits.
I was thinking about counting lines, but since there is a logo, address, headers, details, etc and all are printed in different fonts, this will be very difficult exercise.
Any more ideas?
Thanks
Igor
