  • Need to add special characters in sap scripts

    Hi All,
       I need to add special characters in sap script.
    I have used them as it is my script,but in the print preview i am able to see '#' instead of those special characters.Can anybody please tell me the way in which we can add special characters in the scripts.
    eg. 'Shlesha' i.e. name in inverted colons.
    Thanks

    Hi
    If # is coming means, that is the problem with the printer. I think u might have used your local printer to see the print preview.
    Don't use LOCL or LP01. Our local printer won't recognize those characters.
    Just change the printer name to client printer name. It will work.

  • How to print Barcode in te SAP SCRIPTS?

    Hi All,
    Can anyone of you let me know how to print the Barcode in the SAP SCRIPT? This is the first time I'm working on the Barcode. I've to print many fields data into one barcode. Like PO number, Material Number, Plant, Company code..etc..
    Best Regards,
    Venkatesh Eddala.

    Hello Venkat,
    Creating Bar code:
    -->From trans code - SPAD -> Full Administration -> Click on Device Type -> Double click the device for which you wish to create the print control -> Click on Print Control tab ->Click on change mode -> Click the plus sign to add a row or prefix say SBP99 (Prefix must start with SBP) -> save you changes , it will ask for request -> create request and save
    --> when you go to SE73 if you enter SBP00 for you device it will add the newly created Prefix
    -->Create a character format C1.Assign a barcode to the character format.Check the check box for the barcode.
    -->The place where you are using the field value use like this
    <C1> &itab-field& </C1>.
    You will get the field value in the form of barcode.
    Which barcode printer are you using ? Can you download this file and see.
    http://www.servopack.de/Files/HB/ZPLcommands.pdf.
    It will give an idea about barcode commands.
    SAP Barcodes
    -->Barcode solution consists of the following:
    barcode printer
    barcode reader
    mobile data collection application/program
    A barcode label is a special symbology to represent human readable information such as a material number or batch number
    in machine readable format.
    There are different symbologies for different applications and different industries. Luckily, you need not worry to much about that as the logistics supply chain has mostly standardized on 3 of 9 and 128 barcode symbologies - which all barcode readers support and which SAP support natively in it's printing protocols.
    You can print barcodes from SAP by modifying an existing output form.
    Behind every output form is a print program that collects all the data and then pass it to the form. The form contains the layout as well as the font, line and paragraph formats. These forms are designed using SAPScript (a very easy but frustratingly simplistic form format language) or SmartForms that is more of a graphical form design tool.
    Barcodes are nothing more than a font definition and is part of the style sheet associated with a particular SAPScript form. The most important aspect is to place a parameter in the line of the form that points to the data element that you want to represent as barcode on the form, i.e. material number. Next you need to set the font for that parameter value to one of the supported barcode symbologies.

    DATA: BAR_CODE1(16) VALUE `ABC01230123A01'
    NEW-PAGE PRINT ON IMMEDIATELY `X'.
    FORMAT COLOR OFF INTENSIFIED OFF.
    If the barcode is the first element on the page, the following Write
    statement is needed (otherwise you get a date in the first print
    control.
    WRITE:/
    Turn on the barcode font, print the data, and switch back to the
    printer's default font. Be sure to use NO-GAP to avoid unwanted
    characters or CR/LF.
    PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION `BCPFX'
    WRITE: BAR_CODE1 NO-GAP
    PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION `BCSFX'
    Add a Write statement to prevent insertion of CR/LF into the barcode.
    WRITE:/
    Sample SAPSCRIPT
    Variable BAR_CODE1 contains the barcode data, including asterisks.
    The & is needed to avoid unwanted spaces or CR/LF characters
    /E LINE
    /: PRINT-CONTROL BCPFX

  • How to print the Totals in SAP Scripts..?

    Hi,
    I have an SAP Script layout. Currently I am displaying the Line items in the layout. The new requirement has come up to display the TOTAL of the amount value in the layout at the end of the line items. Can someone tell me how to display the Sum of the Amount value at the end of the Line items in an SAP Script.
    The Print program for this layout is standard program. Can this be handled within the layout..? Someone please provide me some sample code if available.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Paddu.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your reply.
    My Standard print program doesn't provide the total value.  Could you please tell me where exactly we need to write the logic in the Layout. I mean, do we need to write under separate element..? and in the External subroutine, how would be the logic. It would be greatful if you provide some sample code.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Paddu.

    Hi,
    Firstly, use the unicode MS Word editor as the sapscript editor. Then you need a devcie type that supports these characters. Try to print via windows and unicode device type SWINCF if you have a unicode system.

    Hi
    See this OSS note for your problem
    OSS Note: 776507
    Symptom
    Documents printed via SAPscript or SmartForms do not print with correct special characters, e.g. ### prints instead of Japanese or Russian characters. What to do?
    Other terms
    SAPscript, SmartForms, printing, device types, OTF
    Reason and Prerequisites
    Help required to choose proper fonts in a SAPscript or SmartForm
    Solution
    When using SAPscript or SmartForms to print (or email or fax) a form from a business application, many factors influence the outcome of the actual text within the form. All these factors must be checked in order to ensure a correct printout:
    1) The language version of the form used to produce the printout.
    Example: If you want to print a French invoice, you need to have a FR version of your SAPscript or SmartForms invoice form RVINVOICE01. And the application program must specify the corresponding language key (FR) when calling the SAPscript or SmartForms API.
    2) The font selections specified in the form (possibly also in a SAPscript style or SmartStyle used in a form).
    Example: In a SAPscript form or a SmartStyle you need to specify HELVE if you want to print German text in Helvetica (or similar) font. If you want to print Japanese text, HELVE is not a valid choice but you need to specify a Japanese font like JPMINCHO in your Japanese form.
    3) The output character set of the device type
    Every printer in transaction SPAD has a "device type" assigned. Device types used by the spooler for printing support only one single specific output character set. All text from the form has to be converted (using SAP's built-in character conversion mechanism) to this output character set.
    A character set can typically support either a single language (e.g. Shift-JIS which supports only Japanese) or a set of languages (e.g. ISO 8859-1, which supports Western-European languages). It is possible that a given language (such as German) can be supported by several output character sets, e.g. you may use either ISO 8895-1 (Latin-1) or ISO 8859-2 (Latin-2) to represent German text. This is so because both character sets contain the special characters used in German.
    Example: HPLJ4000 is a HP LaserJet device type supporting the ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) character set. ISO 8859-1 can be used to represent e.g. Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish, Swedish but NOT Russian or Japanese.
    As a consequence, it is ok to use HPLJ4000 to print English, German French etc. but not for Japanese or Russian.
    4) The set of available printer fonts for a given device type
    When formatting a document, SAPscript and SmartForms perform an automatic mapping of the font definitions in the form (e.g. "HELVE 14 point bold") and the available printer fonts of the device type. A replacement printer font is chosen, should the specified font selection not be available in the device type. Now this replacement can be problematic if a language-specific font, such as Chinese CNSONG, is specified in a form and it gets replaced by a font which does not support this language, e.g. COURIER.
    To solve this problem, font families in SE73 have language attribute assigned, e.g. some fonts are characterized as being suitable only for certain languages. And when a replacement has to be chosen because the original font from the form is not available in the device type, a replacement font is chosen which has the same language attributes.
    If no fonts for the language in question exist in the device type, the resulting font will not be able to print the special characters and you will see "wrong" output characters in the printout.
    Note on SAPscript/SmartForms Print Preview:
    The OTF Print Preview available in Windows GUI (e.g. from transaction SP01) will sometimes not show the "wrong" characters which appear on the final printout. Here is the reason: since the Print Preview runs in Windows environment, it will use Windows fonts to represent the actual printer fonts. A Windows font typically has more available characters (i.e. covers more character sets) than are actually available in a printer's resident font.
    A typical example where the Print Preview will differ from the printout is here: if you have a Chinese PCL5 printer such as CNHPLJ4 and use the Western Latin font COURIER in your document, the print preview will show you Chinese characters if you (by accident) tried to format Chinese characters in COURIER font. This is because Windows will automatically choose a font that can output Chinese characters (which is actually not Courier). But when you print the job on an actual PCL5 printer with resident Western and Chinese fonts, the Courier font will not print any Chinese characters but Western special characters instead, because the printer's resident Courier font does not include Chinese characters.
    Rule of thumb: all Asian device types (e.g. CNHPLJ4, JPHPLJ4, JPPOST, KPHPLJ4) support not only Asian fonts but also COURIER, HELVE and TIMES fonts. But these Latin fonts can only be used to print English text, not Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters.
    Which fonts are suitable for a given language?
    Language(s):            Font family to use in a form:
    Latin-1 (Western Europe/Americas) *******

    Verify your output by examining the OTF data
    When analysing printing problems of this type, be sure to check the OTF data which gets produced by SAPscript or SmartForms. OTF or "Output Text Format" is the intermediate page-description format generated from SAPscript or SmartForms. OTF will contain the final printer font names and character set/language identifiers which help to solve the problem. OTF will even name the form and the language of the form used to create the output.
    The easiest way to do this is to create a spool request from your application, run transaction SP01, use menu
    Goto->Display Requests->Settings
    and choose
    Display Mode: Raw
    Now display your spool request. If this is a SAPscript or SmartForms spool request, you will see OTF data. Each line represents one OTF command, every command starts with a 2-character cmd identifier and possibly some cmd parameters follow.
    Here is an excerpt from a sample OTF file where we highlight the most interesting commands:
    //XHPLJ8000    0700 00000000001
    IN04EALEXTEST_ZEBRA
    IN05%PAGE1
    OPDINA4  P 144  240 1683811906000010000100001
    IN06%WINDOW2
    MT0024401289
    CP11000000E
    FCHELVE  120  00109XSF100SF101110000067E X
    UL +0000000000000
    SW00067
    CT00000000
    ST0453037Dieses SF hat Stil ALEXTEST_ZEBRA mit
    The 1st line with the // (Control) command reveals the device type usedto print: HPLJ8000
    //XHPLJ8000    0700 00000000001
    The 2nd line (IN = Info command) shows the name and (internal 1-char)language key of the form:
    IN04EALEXTEST_ZEBRA
    In this case it is the English (E = EN) SmartForm ALEXTEST_ZEBRA
    The OP-line (OP = Open Page) gives the page format used in the form, it is DINA4 Portrait orientation:
    OPDINA4  P 144  240 1683811906000010000100001
    The CP (CodePage) cmd shows the SAP system codepage used to code the text and the active language. In our case it is codepage 1100 and language E = EN = English.
    CP11000000E
    Finally, the FC-cmd (Font Call) lists a printer font selected within SmartForms. Please note that every SmartForm has a designated default SmartStyle under "Form Attributes->Output Options". In addition, every text node can have a SmartStyle attached (which will override the definitions from the default style for the text). In our case the resulting printer font that was selected is HELVE 12.0 pt bold-off, italic-off.

  • Why a " # " is coming while printing chinese characters from SAP script?

    Hi All,
    Facing one issue.
    We have a SAP script for printing delivery note thru T-code VL03N. The script has chinese characters in it.
    When I print this form the chinese characters that are hardcoded in the script can be seen in the print out but the ones which are coming from the table cannot be seen instead they are repalced by " # ".
    Strangely, when a debug the script or see a print preview on the screen they can be seen as it is with no problem.
    Only when I print it, on the paper print they are seen as # but the characters that are hardcoded in the script can be seen clearly on paper.
    Secondly, in Transaction FB03 which is for display of list of documents it too has some chinese characters and when I print this directly from the t-code doing Shift-F1 ( no SAP script or form is involved in this case) then the same case is there the chinese characters get replaced by a " # ".
    Any inputs or views are welcome.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks.
    Cordially,
    Saurabh.

    Hi,
    You need to set your activate multibyte functions to support.
    Long on to SAP --->right side right corner (Customized local layout) --> click --->Select options --->select tab (l18N)
    -->Check Activate multibyefunctions to support.
    log off you SAP Gui then re-log in...you can able to view multi language characters.
    Thanks,

    Hello,
    Is your SAP Unicode? If no, then this can get very messy. If yes, I'd start with checking if the font used by the SAPScript supports that character.
