Maximum height of main window

Dear experts,
I would like to know what is the maximum height i can give for main window.
How to print data in next line.
How to give reduce space or increase space after text field.

Hi Antony,
To be honest with you, I think the problem here is Shilpa and the question itself (no search done).
I recommend being selective about questions answered and doing a quick check on the user's ability to search and doing "lazy closing" before answering.
Cheers,

Dynamic Height of Main Window in Smartform

Good day experts...
Actually this problem puzzled me since yesterday when I am developing a customized printout for PO.
Right now, we have an existing form for our PO.. The management asked me to do another PO form for the second company. Thus, there will be two layouts of PO... Since the content are just the same, I just copied the program of our existing PO and make the necessary adjustment for the new layout for our new PO. My problem now is the Main Window for the second PO...
As far as I know, only One main window is allowed in every Page. So what I did was, I created two tables (let say Table 1 and Table 2.) inside the main window. I just placed condtions on the condition tab of both tables that when user selected company A, Table 1 will be displayed. Otherwise Table 2 will be displayed if company B is selected.
Now, I have produced correct output. My only problem now is, the height of the second window which must be shorter than the first PO. I am aware that the main window's height is fixed and cant be changed dynamically.
Before I write this post, I google(search) the net to view some possible solutions. One option that it was suggested is to create another page, say Page2... On that second page, create another main window which is smaller in height.. This would be the second PO. On the main window of the first Page, insert a command line. Then, pinpoint to the second page when the condtion is true.
This technique was not successful when I tried. Since when i try to see the prinout of the PO, the first page is blank and the detail of the PO is on the second page which should NOT be.
Another possible way to solve this problem that I think is , create a separate smartform for the second company. In this case, no worry about the height of the main window. However, my problem that I forsee is, how can I implement on ME23N, to pinpoint two separate smartforms?
Thanks in advance experts... I hope to hear your wonderful ideas...

Hi,
As you are already using smartforms for PO printout(instead of standard form MEDRUCK) , you should have already changed the standard driver program (SAPFM06P) in a zprogram or have done your own driver program which is calling the smartform. So its so simple that you branch your different smartform call in that zprogram. Check which driver program is currently in use in tcode NACE - > Application EF ->Output Type NEU and click processing routine.
Another way is to have a copy of the secondary window and adjust size and give conditions.

If my understanding is correct ( U have a main window say 6 X 4 inch size, inside which u are printing a table ,here if u have only one record then , U want the smartform to have 6 X 4 box with only one line.
The purpose of main window is not print the way u had asked for and to roll over to the next page if more records are to be printed,
Let me know , what u are printing in the main window ,, a table ?????

Long Text in Main Window

Hi,
I am trying to print 'Item Text' from invoice just below each item description(same cell of 'item descripotion' is used to print 'Item Text' in MAIN WINDOW ) in smartform. I had used an include text.
For Ex: long text maintained is
TEXT1 TEXT1TEXT1
TEXT1TEXT1TEXT2
TEXT1TEXT1TEXT3
TEXT1TEXT1TEXT4
TEXT1TEXT1TEXT5
If suppose maximum size of cell can occupy only 3 lines of above long text , then it should only print remaining last two lines on the next page .
Main Window
Page 1
Item Desciption
TEXT1 TEXT1TEXT1
TEXT1TEXT1TEXT2
TEXT1TEXT1TEXT3
Page 2
TEXT1 TEXT1TEXT4
TEXT1TEXT1TEXT5
Also in the layout design height of main window on NEXT PAGE is slightly greater than size on FIRST PAGE.
But , in my case it is generating three pages. Page 2 and 3 are printed as shown below.
Page 2
Item Desciption
TEXT1 TEXT1TEXT1
TEXT1TEXT1TEXT2
TEXT1TEXT1TEXT3
TEXT1 TEXT1TEXT4
Page 3
Item Desciption
TEXT1 TEXT1TEXT1
TEXT1TEXT1TEXT2
TEXT1TEXT1TEXT3
TEXT1 TEXT1TEXT5
Please let me know , how to correct this.
Note:- Form is Migrated from SAP Script to Smartform.

Hi Mayank,
Use Page protection For that TEXT Element (Include) in output options.

Regarding Number of MAIN Windows in SAP Script.

Hi,
SAP Script allows to place a maximum of 99 MAIN Windows. Is it possible to have different content in different MAIN Windows i.e., if i have 2 MAIN Windows in SAP Script with numbers 00 and 01 can i have different contents in these two windows. If possible please give us an example for the same.
Thanks in advance for your esteemed help.
Regards,
Raghavendra Goutham.

HI All,
Thanks for your esteemed replies.
But i want to frame my question exactly.
In my script there are two main windows with number
MAIN 00 and MAIN 01.
MAIN 00
Content:
/E data
abc,,def
In MAIN 01 i want to have only XYZ, some thing like this
MAIN 01
/E total
XYZ
My problem is: whenever i am changing the content in MAIN 01, the content in MAIN 00 is also getting changed.
I do not want this to change, i want different content in both of them. Is this possibel if so how.
Thanks and Regards,
Raghavendra Goutham.
MAIN 01

Reg: Displaying all the items of main window in the same page itself.

All,
I am developing an SAp Script form which is using five windows. Out of which third window is the main window. In the main window i am displaying details of item sold. The form prints perfectly when the number of items is with in the limit of the main window height. When it exceeds the main window height a second page with the same format of the first page is displayed with the remaining items in main window. ie 1,2,4,5 window is repeated in both pages.
I want to display all the items of the main window in the first page itsel and if it exceeds first page show the remainng items in the next page and then display 4th and 5th window. IS it posiible using SAp script. Am i to do some configuration for this?
Note: I have assigned Next page to first page itself.

Thanks Anji.
I understood about display of first and second windows.
About main window and Fourth and Fifth window i still have doubt. I have given specific height to main window and after that put the fourth and fifth window with specific height in first page itself. So what happens is that When mainwindow overflows it will print up to specified height in the first page. Then prints the Fourth and Fifth window in first page. Then it goes to second window prints the remaining items in main window then again displays fourth and fifth window. Could you please find a solution for this too.

Smartform Main Window Box designing

Hi,
I have created a smartform with 5 windows. In the main window maximum 12 records will be fitted. In Main window, In the output options tab i have selected Lines with Check box and Always draw Check box.The height of the main window is 4.80 CM. Each Record will occupy 0.40 Cm Height.For this i want dynamic window box creation. For Example if the internal table contains only two records it has to draw box only with 0.80 Cm height only, Suppose if the internal table contains 10 records then it has to draw box with 4 CM height. Here in my Smartform i am always creating 4.80 Cm height box. Is my requirement Possible? If yes, How?
Thanks in Advance.

hi ,
as far as dynamic row wise box you can achieve....
but if only you want boxes depending on the lines means it's difficult to do because you may not know how may line will come. as you have mention for only 2 and 10 records means i have an idea but don't know whether it will work or not as these boxes will be drawn depending on the height( and it's constant).
what we can try is.
first count the number of lines in your internal table.
in main if check the condition
if internal table has 2 lines then define one table with your reqirement,like "if the internal table contains only two records it has to draw box only with 0.80 Cm height only".
mention the height in table->details as 0.80cm.
if internal table has 10 lines then define one table with your reqirement,like "if the internal table contains only two records it has to draw box only with 4 CM heightheight only".
mention the height in table->details as4 CM height.
in else... your can write as many as depending on your req...
this is lengthy, hope this will achieve your requirement.

How to use Two main windows with in a page in script ?

Hi any body explain me...
How to use Two main windows with in a page in script ?
with header data in one main window,
& Item data in other main window.

HI..,
u need to go for <b>SPLITTING THE MAIN WINDOW</b> !!!
Main windows in page windows allow you to format text in multiple columns. Define an area in the page window, in which to position the main windows.
Here is the procedure !!
-->Create a page window and assign it to a page.
Choose <b>Edit --> Main windows</b>.
A dialog box appears.
-->Enter values in the fields <b>Area width</b> and A<b>rea height</b> in accordance with the input guidelines for main windows.
-->Enter values in the fields <b>Spacing</b> and Number in the <b>Horizontal group</b> if you want to use multiple columns. You can ignore the fields in the Vertical group.
Determine how many columns and line areas are required for label printing. Then enter the corresponding values in the fields in the <b>Horizontal and Vertical groups</b>.
-->The value in the field Left margin varies from main window to main window if multiple columns are used. The following applies:
<b>
Left margin of current column + Window width + Horizontal spacing = Left margin of next column</b>
In label printing, the field Upper margin also varies from main window to main window:
<b>
Upper margin of current main window + Window height + Vertical spacing = Upper margin of next main window</b>
-->Enter a value in the field Start position.
This is a counter. Enter a starting value which is equal to or greater than 1.
-->The main windows are added to the list.
-->Save your form.

How to pass values from main window to pop-up window?

I want to pass a value from the main window (1st form) to pop-up window (2nd form). The first form is of name booking.jsp and 2nd form is of name Fund_booking.jsp. I am using window.showModalDialog to open the window. I think, I have written right code in main window to pass the value but even then I am not able to get it on pop-up window. I am not even able to display an alert on pop-up window saying "hi" by writing a function on save Button in pop-up window. The code is as follows:
On booking.jsp:
<script>
function popup()
var aForm;
aForm = D_requisition_id.options[D_requisition_id.selectedIndex].text;
\\Here I have captured value from a drop down box in my main window form and assigned it to the variable.
alert(aForm);
var myObject =new Object();
myObject.Brandcode = aForm;
alert(myObject.Brandcode);
window.showModalDialog("Fund_booking.jsp",myObject,"dialogHeight:400px;dialogWidth:420px;");
</script>
<button name="B_FundBooking" tabIndex=4 style='POSITION:absolute;LEFT:393;TOP:292;WIDTH:100;height:24;BACKGROUND-COLOR:buttonface' onClick ="popup()">Fund Booking</button>
On Fund_booking.jsp:
<SCRIPT>
var oMyObject = window.dialogArguments;
var sBrandcode = oMyObject.Brandcode;
alert(sBrandcode);
</SCRIPT>
Even the following alert is not getting displayed in pop-up window;
<script>
function ValidateData()
alert("Hi");
</script>
<button name="B_Save" tabIndex=1 style='POSITION:absolute;LEFT:255;TOP:315;WIDTH:75;height:24;BACKGROUND-COLOR:buttonface' onClick ="ValidateData()">Save</button>
I am using DIV instead of frames in my both forms. I just want to get that value in my pop-up window to write a query based on which data will get displayed in my table of pop-up window.
Plz help me to solve this problem.

Well, this is actually a JavaScript question, not a Java question but I can give some hints.
When you do pop-up windows you need to put JavaScript in the html of the pop-up itself. Data can be passed by creating new fields in the window object, which the popup can access via the window.openner field.
So, before invoking the popup add any data to be passed to the window object, then the onLoad function in the popup grabs the data.

Error in Smartforms a page without a main window

Dear Friends
I have suffred one problam in Smartforms, whe we create new page then system gives error
"A page without a main window cannot point to itself as next page".
Please provide solution.
Regards
Ajit Sharma

Hello Ajit,
In Smart Form Main window is optional but check if this satisfies in your case ....
Main Window
In a main window you display text and data, which can cover several pages (flow text). As soon
as a main window is completely filled with text and data, the system continues displaying the text
in the main window of the next page. It automatically triggers the page break.
You can define only one window in a form as main window.
The main window must have the same width on each page, but can differ in height.
A page without main window must not call itself as next page, since this would trigger
an endless loop. In such a case, the system automatically terminates after three
pages.
It means if you have Next page you need to use a Main window in your smart form.
Regards,
Kittu
