SAP SCRIPT - Table

Hi expert,
my requirement is simply to draw a empty table ( with pattern ) in a page.
This table is empty for ever (after the user can print the page and write inside by hand).
So, do you have some example code to draw a table please ???
Tks a lot,
bye.

Hi,

Problem with sap script table in main window

hi all,
i have created a sap script for which output is in 7 pages.
except first page all the remaining pages are giving the correct output.
the problem with the first page is iam not not getting vertical lines in the table which is in the main window of page 1.
iam getting the vertical lines correctly in the mainwindow table of all the remaining pages.

Hi,
It's simple,
Pre- U should had declared a second page for the same window with header, main & footer.
now
First when u r looping the internal table provide no of rows eg Row 1 TO 10. in the Loop ( Data Tab)
or
when defing TEXT Go to PC Editor and mention all the fields Under PROTECT - ENDPROTECT.
This would solve the issue.
Thanks
Ravi

1 Concepts Edit section
1.1 Modifying SAP Forms Edit section
If you want to modify SAP forms, set up your development environment as follows:
1. Make sure that no SAP-standard forms are stored as client-specific copies in your development client. Such forms should be held only in client 000, the SAP development and installation client. If you access an SAP-standard form from another client, then the central copy in client 000 is used.
If you need to remove SAP-standard objects from your development client, see Notes 10388 and 3355 in the SAP Online Service System (OSS). These notes explain the procedure for saving modified forms and then deleting all forms.
2. To modify SAP standard forms,
Copy the forms you need from client 000 to your development client.
Rename the forms using a name from the customer name reserve (names starting with Y or Z).
Copy the forms to one of your own Y or Z development classes.
Renaming the SAP standard object makes it possible to manage and transport your changes with the SAP workbench organizer. The organizer is not activated for SAP-standard objects that are modified in clients other than 000.
3. To put your modifications into effect, you must also modify the ABAP print program used to print documents that use this form. You should rename such print programs and store them in your own Y or Z development classes.
You can use the SAP Customizing System to replace the SAP print program with your modified print program in the affected applications
1.2 Forms: Concepts Edit section
Forms are used to control the page layout and also the text formatting in your documents. Before formatting a document for output to the screen or to a printer, you must assign a form to it. If you do not specify a form for a document, then the SYSTEM form is assigned to the document by default.
Application-specific forms are used in SAP applications to specify the page layout for such special documents as invoice or checks. These forms specify the structure of the information on the page(s) of such a document. They define, for example, the address header, item lines, the footer, and so on. There are two ways to format texts with forms:
In the standard SAPscript text processing (Tools  Word processing  Standard text), you can select a form for a document. You can then type text into the main window of the form and output the document in the format defined in the form.
For example, you can select a form for a letter. You can then type the body text of the letter in the main window. When you print the letter, the default text elements in the other windows of the form (heading, footer, and so on) are printed with the body text.
A document can be generated by a print program in one of the SAP applications. The print program uses a form to generate the document. Most correspondence and document generation in the SAP System are handled by way of print programs.
A print program selects the text elements that are to be printed in the windows of a form. It may also collect information from the user or ask the user to input text directly, as in some correspondence functions. The print program may also provide data for variables defined in the form.
Finally, the print program uses the form to format the document for display or printing.
1.3 Client and Language Versioning: Concepts Edit section
Forms and styles are client-specific. That is, a form or style other than the SAP standard in client 000 is available only in the client in which it was created.
Forms and styles are also language-specific. That is, the definitions and texts in a form or style are defined for a particular language. Forms and styles can be translated using the standard SAP translation tools.
Client 000 Defaulting: SAPscript accords forms and styles in client 000 a special status.
If a form or style that is used in a document is not available in the client in which the document is being printed, then SAPscript checks for the form or style in client 000. If it is found there, then the client 000 version is used to print the document.
SAP standard forms and styles are always held in client 000. You can take advantage of the client 000 defaulting as well by storing your Yxxx and Zxxx forms and styles there. That way, if a local version of a form or style is not present in a client, the client 000 version is used instead.
Language rules: SAPscript uses the following rules to manage versions of forms and styles in different languages:
The language in which a form or style is created is its "original language." You can translate a form or style into other languages using SAPs translation tools.
If a form or style is needed only in its original language and need not be translated, then you can indicate this in the language attributes in the header data. The form or style then does not appear in work lists in the translation tools.
In versions other than the original language version, changes to a form or style are limited only to translation of texts. No changes to definitions and attributes are permitted.
2 Componentes Edit section
2.1 Header Data Edit section
You can find header data in both form and style maintenance. In style maintenance, it is used primarily to present important information information designed to make it easier for the end user to select a style. The header data in form maintenance, on the other hand, is used for information and control purposes. For this reason, the header data of a form will be described in more detail.
Below, the header data is described as it appears in the alphanumeric Form Painter.
Like the header data of a style, the header data of a form comprises two parts: the data set by the system and the data you are expected to enter. The latter is dealt with separately.
Device-independent entries.
Description
A short explanatory description of the form (also applies to the style), designed to make selection easier for the end user.
Form class
You can assign a form to a class to help you organize and search for forms. The default set of classes is the set of program classes in your system.
Start page
Tells the print program which page format in a form to use first for printing.
Default paragraph
Paragraph set to * in standard text maintenance.
Tab stop
A grid set at specified intervals in all windows defined in the form. However, you should note that the tab stops are only valid in paragraphs where you have not defined your own tabs.
Language, Original language, Translation applic
Use these fields to record the master language and language of the current version of a form. Marking Translation applic makes the form accessible for translation from the SAP Systems translation tools (transaction SE63).
Device-dependent entries.
You can only enter values here that are supported in the R/3 printer definition. If you make other entries, this leads to errors in the check routine.
Page format
Determined from the spool administration table with transaction SPAD. Make sure there is a printer assignment there must be an additional spool format for the printer with the same page format.
Orientation
Depends on the page format selected. This can also be determined from the spool administration table. Please note that the formats landscape and portrait are not supported by all printers.
Lines per inch (LPI)
Basis for converting the unit of measurement LN in style and form maintenance. The value 6.00 is set by the system, as this value is supported by all printers.
Characters per inch (CPI)
Basis for converting the unit of measurement CH in style and form maintenance. The value 10.00 is set by the system, as this value is supported by all printers.
Font attributes
With these fields, you can set the default font for a form. The default font applies if other objects do not specify a font. SAPscript suggests a default font, which you can change.
2.2 Paragraph Formats and Attributes Edit section
In SAPscript, paragraphs are formatted using formats and their corresponding attributes. Text processing is simplified by the use of different paragraph attribute groups:
Standard
Font
Tabs
Outline
There are naming conventions for paragraph tags:
The paragraph tag can have one or two characters.
The first character in the paragraph tag must be a letter, the second a letter, number, or blank; special characters are not valid.
The paragraph format must be identified in the Description field.
2.2.1 Standard Paragraph Attributes Edit section
In the Standard attribute group, you find the general attributes that can be defined in paragraph formats:
Description
Precise explanation of your paragraph tag, so that the user can immediately identify it.
Left or right margin
Amount of space between the paragraph and the left or right border of the form window.
Indent first line
Indent of the first line of a paragraph. If the value is positive, it is indented to the right, if it is negative, it is indented to the left.
If you specify a negative value, then you must place the minus sign after the number: 1- .
Space before and space after
Space before and space after control the amount of space between paragraphs. The actual space between paragraphs results from the space after the preceding paragraph and the space before the following paragraph.
Alignment
Alignment of a paragraph.
Left-aligned
LEFT
Right-aligned RIGHT
Centered CENTER
Justified BLOCK
Line spacing
Spacing between the lines. The default value is 1 line; the LPI value (lines per inch) in the header data is used to calculate the line spacing.
No blank lines
Suppression of blank lines. You can control whether the blank lines of a paragraph should be suppressed in the printout or not:
No entry
blank lines not suppressed
X blank lines suppressed
Page protection
Cohesion of a paragraph. It is possible to determine whether or not a paragraph can be divided by a page break.
No entry
no page protection (default)
X all lines of the paragraph are on one page
Next paragraph same page
Cohesion of two adjacent paragraphs. Here you can define whether the subsequent paragraph should begin on the same page (that is, at least the first line of the subsequent paragraph must be on the same page).
No entry
subsequent paragraph is output on the same page or the next page, depending on the amount of space (default)
X subsequent paragraph begins on the same page
2.2.2 Font Attributes for Paragraphs Edit section
You can specify font attributes for paragraph formats. They control the font used in the text. You can specify these attributes both for the default font in the header and for particular paragraph formats:
Font family
Enter a font supported in the SAPscript font maintenance.
Font size
Enter the size of a character font. It is measured in 1/10 point.
Bold/Italic
Specify whether to use bold-face printing or italics.
Underlined
Mark this attribute to underline entire blocks of text.
When defining a paragraph format, use More to specify these underline attributes:
Spacing between the base line and the underline
Thickness
Intensity
Intensity is expressed in percent: 0 % is a black underline; 100 % is no underline.
If you defined default underlining in the header, then the fields for underline attributes are already displayed on the screen.
The following selection criteria apply to the font attributes bold, italics, and underlined:
Off attribute is not set
Retain inherited
On attribute is set
The combination of font family, font size, bold type attribute and italics attribute is referred to as a system font or SAP font. To use the SAPscript font maintenance, choose Tools  Word processing  Font.
2.2.3 Tabs in Paragraph Formats Edit section
You can define as many tab positions as you require for each paragraph format. The text can be aligned in different ways:
Left-aligned with LEFT
Right-aligned with RIGHT
Centered with CENTER
At the sign with SIGN
At the comma or decimal point with DECIMAL
You can control the tab feed in a paragraph with tab positions. The tab stops you define in the paragraph format replace the tab spacing you defined in the header data of the form. However, this depends on the extent to which you have defined tab stops in the paragraph format. If there are fewer tabs in the paragraph formats than in the header data, the tab stops of the header data are used for the rest of the line. The tab stops are represented as, , in the text editor.
You can use different units of measurement to define a tab position:
CH Characters
CM Centimeters
MM Millimeters
PT Points
TW Twips (1/20 point)
The unit of measurement CH is converted to an absolute unit of measurement using the CPI value (characters per inch) from the header data of the form.
2.2.4 Paragraph and Heading Numbering Edit section
The paragraph numbering and marking attributes are used to structure texts into chapters, subchapters, and sections. Numbering is carried out automatically by SAPscript.
You can create an outline with the entry options available:
Outline
Enter the name of the highest-level paragraph in an outline hierarchy here. The outline hierarchy is created by assigning this paragraph to all outline paragraphs.
Outline level
Enter the level in the outline hierarchy. The outline levels of the paragraphs are numbered upwards from 1; the highest outline level therefore has the outline number 1.
Number margin
Specify the space between numbering and window border. Note that your numbering may extend into the text area of the paragraph if the difference between the left margin and the number margin is not great enough to hold the numbering characters.
Left/right delimiter
Specify the character that precedes or follows the numbering.
Number chaining
Specify whether you want the paragraph numbering of the paragraph to be preceded by the numbering of all higher paragraphs in the hierarchy.
Example for number chaining
with   without
3.     3.
3.1     1.
3.2     2.
3.2.1     1.
Character string
Specify the numbering format. The numbering can be assigned a different font or character format to the rest of the paragraph.
Numbering type
ARABIC
Arabic numerals: 1, 2, 3.
CHAR Fixed character: letter or numeral, entered in the field
LETTER Letters: A-Z
ROMAN Roman numerals: I, II, III, IV
Depending upon the numbering type that you select, the following attributes may also apply:
Fixed character
Define the fixed character to be used for numbering. You should only make an entry in the field Fixed character if you have specified CHAR as the numbering type. Fixed characters include + - and o .
Output length
Enter the number of characters for Arabic numerals.
Upper case
Specify for letters or Roman numerals.
2.3 Character Formats and Attributes Edit section
Character formats, as opposed to paragraph attributes, allow you to format entire blocks of text within a paragraph.
Character attribute groups can be:
Standard
Font
When you define character formats, observe the following naming conventions:
The character format can have one or two characters.
The first character must be a letter, the second a letter, number, or blank; special characters are not valid.
Enter a simple explanation in the field Description. It is intended to help the user make a selection.
2.3.1 Standard Attributes for Character Formats Edit section
Marker
Links a search key to the selected character string when the end user uses this character format. Examples include glossary, hypertext, and data element links. Here, selected character strings are assigned the appropriate key.
Bar code
Bar code that is required for certain variables and is known to the printer, for example EAN8. The character string is printed as a bar code if the character string concerned is selected.
Bar code names, such as EAN8, refer to system bar codes. These are defined in the SAPscript font maintenance (Tools  Word processing  Font).
Protected
The character string is not split by a line break, but printed together on the next line.
Hidden
The character string is not printed. The text is only visible in the text editor.
Superscript/subscript
The character string is printed half a line higher or lower.
The following options are available for defining these attribute types:
Off
Attribute is not set
Retain Attribute is inherited
On Attribute is set
2.3.2 Font Attributes for Character Formats Edit section
Font attributes can be specified for character formats as well as for paragraph formats. You have the same options as for defining font attributes for paragraph formats.
2.4 Windows Edit section
Windows are defined in form maintenance. They represent areas that are positioned on pages as page windows and in which at a later time text is printed. You must define at least one window for each form. Otherwise, SAPscript cannot format the text.
You can assign window names and window types. However, note that you can define only one main window per form.
Use one of these window types:
MAIN
Main window in which continuous text is printed. This is the window used by dialog users of a print program and form. For example, the body text of a letter would be entered in MAIN.
The text in the main window can extend over several pages. If the text fills one page, output continues in the window of the next and subsequent pages, as long as MAIN has been defined for these pages.
VAR
Window with variable contents. The text can vary on each page in which the window is positioned. Variable windows are formatted for each page.
To every window you can assign text, which is printed in the corresponding window when the form is formatted. To assign text, use text elements, which are stored with the form.
To create and maintain text elements with the SAPscript Editor, choose Text elements. Should the text selected for the window exceed the window size, then the text is cut off.
CONST
Window with constant contents that is formatted only once.
Currently, CONST windows are processed in the same way as VAR windows. You should only use windows of type VAR.
2.4.1 Default Paragraph Edit section
For a particular window, you can override the default paragraph format that is set in the form header. Enter the default format that should apply in the window in the Default paragraph field in the window definition screen.
2.5 Pages Edit section
You must define at least one page for every form. And you must designate a "first" page in the form header. Otherwise text formatting is not possible. In addition, you should inform the system which page is to be used after reaching the end of the first page. If you do not specify a next page, the output of your text ends at the end of the current page.
To define a page, give it a name and specify attributes for it:
Name of the next page
Page counter mode
INC Increases the counter by 1
HOLD Counter remains unchanged
START Sets the counter to 1
You can display the contents of the page counter with the system symbol&PAGE&.
Numbering type of the page counter
ARABIC Arabic numerals
LETTER Letters
ROMAN Roman numerals
Although CHAR is displayed as an entry option for the numbering type of the page counter, internally CHAR is converted to ARABIC.
Output length for page numbering with numerals
Upper or lower case for numbering with Roman numerals or letters
Resource name
With Resource name, you specify that the paper for this page should be taken from a particular paper tray at the printer.
In Resource name, enter the print control that has been defined for switching to the paper tray you want to use. In printer types pre-defined by SAP, these print controls are generally as follows:
TRY01 Select first paper tray
TRY02 Select second paper tray (if available at the printer)
TRY03 Select third paper tray (if available at the printer)
TRYEN Print envelopes (if available at the printer)
TRYMN Switch the printer to manual paper feed (if available at the printer). The printer pauses until you feed a sheet of paper into it.
TRYME Switch the printer to manual envelope feed (if available at the printer). The printer pauses until you feed an envelope into it.
You can use all tray selection print controls except TRY03 with suitably equipped printers that are defined with the following SAP device types: HPLJSTND, HPLJ_II, HPLJIIID, HPLJ4, LX4039, and SNI20XX8.
You can use TRY01, TRY02, TRY03, and TRYMN on suitably equipped printers that are defined with these device types: KYOF1000, KYOF1200, KYOFS1500.
See the spool system (transaction SPAD) to check on how your printers are defined.
Print mode
With Print mode, you can specify single- or double-sided printing for a page. You can choose from the following values:
' ' Currently active printing mode continues unchanged.
S The page is printed in simplex mode. That is, the printer should print on only one side of the paper. If another mode was previously active, then the printer is switched to simplex mode with the start of the page.
D The page is printed on the first side of a sheet in duplex mode. If another mode was previously active, then the printer is switched to duplex mode with the start of the pageand continues in this mode.
T The page is printed on the first side of a sheet in tumble duplex mode. That is, the printer prints on both sides. The page on the second side is always inverted, so that the footer of the second page is printed opposite the header of the first page.
If another mode was previously active, then the printer is switched to tumble duplex mode with the start of the page and continues printing in this mode.
Print modes are currently supported for printers that use the PCL-5 language. These are printers that are defined with the following SAP device types: HPLJ_II, HPLJIIID, HPLJ4, LX4039, SNI20XX8.
See the spool system (transaction SPAD) to check on how your printers are defined.
The print controls for these functions are SPMSI (begin simplex printing); SPMDU (begin duplex printing); SPMTU (begin tumble duplex printing); SPMFS (print on first side of sheet in duplex or tumble duplex mode); and SPMBS (print on second side of sheet in duplex or tumble duplex mode).
2.5.1 Defining Follow-On Pages in Duplex Print Modes Edit section
You switch to duplex or tumble duplex mode with a form page for which one of these modes is specified. To continue printing in the current mode, for follow-on pages you must define another page in which the Print mode field is empty. Otherwise, the following pages after the mode switch will continue to be printed only on the front sides of new sheets of paper.
The reason: When SAPscript sends a page with Print mode D or T to the printer, it not only sets the print mode accordingly. To ensure that the first page in the new mode is correctly output, SAPscript also instructs the printer to output the page on the front side of a sheet. If SAPscript sends a sequence of D or T pages to the printer, the output is printed only on the front side of each sheet.
You define a first page named FIRST for a form to be printed in duplex mode. You therefore set the Print mode in FIRST to D.
To make the duplex printing work correctly, you must define a second page FOLLOWER in which Print mode is left empty. In the form definition, you specify FOLLOWER as the follow-on page for FIRST and for itself as well.
Your text is then printed in duplex mode. FIRST switches the printer to duplex mode and forces printing of the first page on the front side of a new sheet. FOLLOWER accepts the duplex mode and sends no further mode print controls to the printer. The printer therefore alternately prints FOLLOWER pages on the fronts and backs of sheets.
2.5.2 Testing Tray Selection and Print Mode Selection Edit section
SAP provides predefined SAPscript documents with which you can test whether tray selection and print mode selection are working properly on your printers.
For tray selection, print the SAPscript document SAPSCRIPT-TRAYTEST, ID ST, Language D or E.
For print mode selection, print the SAPscript document SAPSCRIPT-PRINTMODETEST, ID ST, Language D or E.
2.6 Page Windows Edit section
When you define page windows, the window names are linked to page names. You must specify the position and size of the window on the assigned page.
Define the position of a window by specifying the left margin and upper margin and the size of a window by specifying its width and height.
Left margin
Space between the window and left margin of the page
Upper margin Space between the window and upper margin of the page
Window width Width of the window depending on the page format selected
Window height Height of the window depending on the page format selected
Note that the width of the main window must be the same on all pages. All other window types can have different sizes and positions on different pages.
To print multiple columns, define several main windows on a page. As text entry is continuous, once the first main window has been filled, output continues in the second main window.

How to create table in the sap script

Hi,
How to create a table in the sap script layout, i Have to use table in the main window with 7 columns. can any one send sample code.
How to calculate the number of line items which are displaying in the main window, if the number of line items are exceed in the main window then the amount has to be calculate and print as "BALANCE FORWARD" and the next page had to be displayed as "CARRY FORWARD" that amount. if this is the last page not subsequent page the amount had to be calculated the carry forward amount and total amount and print as "TOTAL AMOUNT". i am creating the new layout and the program is the standrad driver program i have to use and i have to use the standard Text elements only, can any one help me on this issue

hi
good
there is no "pattern" option in SAPscript. All you have at your disposal are the following SAPscript commands: BOX, POSITION and SIZE. Not only are these commands both confusing and tedious to implement, they also are limited in what they can achieve. For instance, although you can suppress a box during printout (by making it conditional), there is no simple way to adjust it dynamically instead. Thus, to divide sequential line items, you may wish to use an underline (ULINE) or simply white space.

Sap script '' how to create table frame in sap script"""

i have some problem in sap script'' how to create table frame in sap script"""

Hi,
you can use 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 both a measurement and a unit of measurement must be specified. The INTENSITY parameter should be specified as a percentage between 0 and 100.
1. 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
2. WIDTH: Width of the box. Default: WIDTH value of the SIZE command.
3. HEIGHT: Height of the box. Default: HEIGHT value of the SIZE command.
4. FRAME: Thickness of frame.
Default: 0 (no frame).
5. INTENSITY: Grayscale of box contents as % .
Default: 100 (full black)
Measurements: Decimal numbers must be specified as literal values (like ABAP numeric constants) by being enclosed in inverted commas. The period should be used 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 layout set header
1 LN = height of a line relative to the LPI specification in the layout set 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 shadowing 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.

Drawing Table & Displaying Data in SAP Script : Data Alignment probelm

Hi Experts,
I am Developing An SAP Script in Which Had to Display Data in a Table with Three column & multiple rows, i had created the Table using BOX Command in SAP SCRIPT & assigned a TEXT Element to it & calling this text element while Looping in WRITE_FORM FM.but while displaying DATA in One column the data in another columns shift to the right & if the data in 1st column is less the data in the second column shift to the left. i know these issues had been covered in the past but i am not getting any concrete results from searching in the forum.
Also On more problem when ever i am declaring a text element in some other window & also giving the Command BOX inside it to draw outline the BOX is not drawn.
This seem to be an alignment issue . Experts Please provide me with some alternative.
Thanks & Regards
Priyesh Shah

Hi ,
To stop columns going left and right.Use number of position in the variable .Like fix the lenght &name(10)&.Here name can print 10 characters.
For box not appearing in other window check the box command parameters .It will draw.Not a alignment problum.

How to pass tables data from SAP script to the routine.

Hi,
I have standard program RPCTEAL0_01 which calls a SAP script form(Custom) to print the form.
Now I have to add some additional functionality to change the values in the form. Since it is custom form I can add ROUTINE and then pass the values to the custom program to modify the variables.
My concern here, I would like to pass the tables like RT,CRT to the custom program via form.
Is this possible? RT and CRT filled by standard progam.

Hi, The suggested option is not working.
Actually I am using the below code in SCRIPT
/:   PERFORM CAL_2008 IN PROGRAM ZHR_TEST1
/:   USING &PER_NO&
/:   CHANGING &W12&
/:   ENDPERFORM
and calling form in ZHR_TEST1. But this will pass only variables. Now my requirement is to pass tables also.

SAP-Script - Draw Table (Boxes) with variable number of lines

Hello,
I want to create a Table with Frames in a SAP-Script Form. First of all I don´t know the position of the table in the window main. It can be page 2 or 3 on top or in the middle. But i have to describe a position like
POSITION YORIGIN '12.95' CM. How can i position the table in a variable way?
And i don´t know the number of lines of the table. How can I manage to draw the correct numbers of boxes as numbers of lines exist?
Kind Regards
Carsten Fuchs

Hi carsten,
1. Drawing GRID (just like excel, matrix)
   is very cumbersome in sapscript layout.
(either dynamically, or hardcoded)
2. Moreover, the final look,
   may or maynot appear as requried,.
ie. exactly with proper alignment and grid lines.
3. If the font size is required to change,
then the dynamic position also changes.
4. If the grid is supposed to go to the next page,
again the calculation and logic becomes tougher.
5. To use grid, its better to use smartform,
   which provided FINE CONTROL of the grid
and its lines and width, height, style etc.
6. In sapsctip, at most we can use
   UNDERLINE (_) and PIPE (|)

Dyanamic table is SAP Script with horizontal and vertical lines

Hi,
I need to display the data of the table in the SAP script which is having both horiziontal and vertival lines.
the out put needs to looks as it in Excel...where there are multiple records with 5 fixed coulmns each seprated from one another by horizonalt and vertical lines..
I thinking about useing the Box with XPOS and YPOS who value changes dynamicaaly..
But again as the number of pages might be more than one..i think there will issues,
Can you let me know how to proceed in SCRIPT ,,,, where the number of records might vary ..and also ..it might continue to second page..
Regards
Senthil

well it is possible but quite tricky.
All you got in SAP-SCRIPT to achieve this is the BOX-Statement.
The BOX statement works with variables for XPOS, YPOS, WIDTH and HEIGHT. what you need to do is:
- calculate those variables during runtime
- add box-statements with those variables.
to calculate those variables you need to count used lines and so on. i hope i showed you a way, rest is a lil brainwork then.
