Alphanumeric editor

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to use alphanumeric editor in screen painter?

Hi Hema,
do like this:
in SE51
goto---> utilities---->settings
uncheck the graphical layout window checkbox.
hope this will solve the problem.
Also, if your are working through VPN,alphanumeric Screen Painter opens instead of graphical layout screen editor.

How to work with Alphanumeric Editor in Screen Painter?

Hello Guys,
I am trying to work on Screen Painter Layout and it's showing me that Graphical Screen Editor is not
available and continue working with Alphanumeric Editor.I don't know how to work on this.Guys,
Please let me know why is the message and what can we do about it.
Thanks in advance,
Sri

Somtimes you will get this message if something got screwy with your SAPgui, for me simply closing out of SAPgui and going back in has fixed this issue. If you do not know for sure that your SAPgui had been installed including the screen painter, then you should start there. You will need the SAPgui installation executable, either from CDs or a downloaded file. Run the SAPgui installation, and make sure to select the screen painter as part of the install, i believe it is under "development tools" in previous versions. In newer versions I believe it is installed by default, but I do no for a fact that it is not this way in earlier releases, such as the 46D gui.
So for make sure that Screen Painter has been installed with your SAPgui, if you are sure that it had been installed, perhaps it was working fine yesterday, then I would suggest first closing out SAPgui, and going back in, and trying the screen painter, If the problem persists, it may be worth it to reinstall the gui.

Grouping Radiobuttons using Alphanumeric Editor (SE51)

Hi,
My SAP Installation allows me to use the Alphanumeric Layout Editor only. Can anyone tell me how I can group the radiobuttons in this layout editor of the Screen Painter?
I have tried assigning them to the same group but the Function Code field is always disabled in the Element List properties as well.
Any help would be much appreciated!!!
Regards,
Priya

Thanx for the reply. However while working in the Alphanumeric Mode i do not get the Define option on right click of the RadioButtons.
Not able to proceed further. I know it is possible because in the Demo Program i can see the 3 radio buttons grouped.
Where do you think I am going wrong?

Problem with Screen Painter - Graphical Layout Editor.

Hi Friends,
I have a strange problem with my Graphical Layout Editor. I first had the problem that the alphanumeric Editor gets displayed even the checkbox for Graphical Layout Editor is checked. Then I had gone through sdn forums and found that the eumfcdll.dll was missing.Thanks to sdn forums. When I copied that file into the path specified it worked fine. But the problem is my layout screen is not displayed fully. It is just displayed at the top of the window and only in that region I can drag and drop the elements. Remaining part of the window is uneditable.
what is the problem? Do I need to make any further settings?
Regards,
Raju.

try to re-install GUI patch .
Yeah , its like CNTLALTDEL(restart) , So half of the problems get resolved.

please help me regarding .
Thanx
Ajay pandey

I had same problem. During GUI install I didn't select "Graphical Layout editor: Screen painter" so the DLL were missing in my windows desktop system. Put the GUI CD back and run setup.exe, select option "add/remove Frontend components" from there select option "Development Tools->Graphical Screen Painter". This will install the files in the desktop. Then logon to SAP R/3 system go to user settings and turn on "graphical layout editor". Re-login to SAP R/3 and double click "call screen 100" to invoke graphical layout editor. Hope this helps.

Graphical layout editor for screens

I am using SAP gui 6.40 and have installed patch level 23.
Still i cannot see the graphical layout editor in se51 and only alphanumeric editor is available (the flag for graphical layout editor in utilities> settings is checked).
any hints??
regards,
Priyank

Option 1:
In your computer Go to Start > Run> Type gneux.exe > Click OK>A popup message may come containing the message "EUMFCDLL.DLL is missing."
[Note: gnuex.exe is the responsible executable file which allows the graphical layout editor to run. So copy this particular .dll file from any other computer(in SAP system network) in which module pool is perfectly running. How to copy? Suppose in anyone's computer layout editor is running. Just Go to Start>Search results> search for the dll file EUMFCDLL.DLL. From the search result, from the specific path copy that .dll file and take it as backup on any sharable directory or any storage device.]
Copy that EUMFCDLL.DLL file and put it in your own computer's \SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui location.
Now again check.
Go to Start>Run>Type gneux.exe>Click on OK. This time any popup window containing error message won't come. But, graphical layout editor will open.
This is just for testing.
Now on SE80 open run layout editor. If it doesn't open properly for the first time, then open & close it for 2-3 times. It'll work.
Same problem occured in my computer. And I put the copy of that particular.dll file in my computer's SAPGUI, it worked.

SAPGUI 7.10 Cannot view layout in tcode SE80 and COOis

Hi,
I am facing some problem with SAP GUI 7.10 in Linux (PCLinuxOS 2007 and in SimplyMepis 6.5).
When I use tcode COOIS, after executing this tcode, I cannot select all icon " Select Layout", "Sorting Ascending and Decending", "Export". There is no respon.
This problem also occured when I execute tcode SE80 > Screens > Layout.
In tcode SE80, I got a message after I click Layout button "Graphical Layout Editor not available. Continue with alphanumeric editor".
Please give me suggestion.
Thanks,
Dedy.W

Dear Rolf Martin,
Thanks for your reply.
Is this the support message you are asking for? or I should make a customer message in http://service.sap.com. Pardon me if I am wrong.
Step for COOIS :
1. Enter tcode COOIS
2. In List field > select Order Headers
3. In Profile field > select Standard profile
4. In Production plant field > input plant
5. On Selection Group of Absolute dates at header level > input Basic start date (one month)
6. Execute
7. The out put is : Order Information System: Detail List of Order Headers > select icon Select Layout

SFLIGHT is NOT defined for the current logical database.

I have just started learning ABAP and bought an ABAP Objects book by Horst Keller. I have installed 4.6d mini sap and SAP GUI 6.4 on win XP Prof. I executed S_FLIGHT_MODEL_DATA_GENERATOR to load DB tables.
(1). When I tried to check a sample program, I get an error message SFLIGHT is not defined for the current logical database.
Here is the partial code:
REPORT zbcb01f1 .
TABLES: sflight, sbook.

 END OF sr.
GET sflight. <---- Error is pointed here
(2). I am also not getting Graphical Screen Painter when selecting Layout for a screen. Instead, I am getting alphanumeric editor.
Someone please help me.
Raizak.

Hi Raizak,
the easiest way is to go to service.sap.com/notes and enter the note number. For this time I've copied the 2 notes below.
Best regards,
Christian
Symptom
The Graphical Layout Editor of the Screen Painter either does not start or terminates.Error message 37527 is displayed in the session in which the call was made (Graphical Layout Editor not available.
Additional key words
() EUNOTE, EUSCREENPAINTER, 37 527
Cause and prerequisites
This note comprises all the common causes for error message 37527 and provides you with information on how to systematically trouble shoot the problem.
1. Windows32 or UNIX/motif?
As of Release 4.6B there is only the program version for 32bit Windows (NT, 95, 98, 2000 ff.).Up to Release 4.6A there was also a version for UNIX/Motif.All of the more current notes (with the exception of Note 45490) refer only to the Windows version.
2. Termination at the start or during use?
The following diagnostic steps refer to the causes of the errors which prevent the Graphical Layout Editor from starting. However, there are also known error causes, which result in the program terminating when the application is being used and which also produce the 37527 error message. This affects -
Rel.4.6C/D: Termination when attempting to read texts in the logon language -> Note 375494
Crash after transferring program and dictionary fields. Termination after transferring program and dictionary fields -> Note 189245
Release 3.1I: Termination after inputting field text -> Note 113318
3. Is the SAPGUI installation correct?
The Graphical Layout Editor is automatically installed during the standard installation of the SAPGUI.If you chose a non-standard installation, then you should have explicitely selected its installation (component "Development Tools - Graphical Screen Painter").
The program executable is called gneux.exe.During the SAPGUI installation it is placed in the same directory as the SAPGUI programms (for example, front.exe) (usually C:\Program Files\SAPpc\sapgui). The following belong to the program:
- An additonal executable gnetx.exe (RFC starter program)
- the DLL eumfcdll.dll
- various eusp* data files (that is, the names all begin with eusp.)
You can check the completeness of the program installation by starting the program gneux.exe locally in the SAPGUI directory (for example, by double-clicking on the program name in the Explorer window).The Layout Editor is displayed with German texts and an empty drawing area for the pseudo screen EUSPDYND 0000.
If the installation is not complete, an error dialog box provides information regarding the cause of the error, for example, sometimes the DLL eumfcdll.dll is missing after reinstalling the SAPGUI. For example, the eumfcdll.dll DLL was sometimes missing after the SAPGUI was reinstalled.
4. System link defined and okay?
The Graphical Layout Editor is a separate program which is started by the Screen Painter Transaction (SE51) on the Frontend machine.
Up to Release 3.0F, the programs communicated with each other via the graphics log of the SAPGUIs (gmux).The definition of the environment variable SAPGRAPH may be the cause for the program not being being found where it is.
As of Release 3.1 G, the programs use a separate RFC link which is set up in addition to the SAPGUI's RFC link.Missing or incorrect definitions of the RFC destination EU_SCRP_WN32 or problems with the creation of the RFC link are the most frequent causes for error message 37527 being displayed.Below you can find the correct settings for the RFC destination EU_SCRP_WN32 (under "Solution").Note 101971 lists all the possible causes for problems with the RFC link set-up. Attention:The Graphical Layout Editor may not be operated through a firewall (for example between the SAP and the customer system) because this does not allow an additional RFC connection in addition to the SAPGUI.
Solution
ad 1 UNIX/Motif
Note 45490 describes possible errors resulting from an incorrect program installation under UNIX/Motif (up to Release 4.6A).
ad 2 Termination when using
The above-mentioned notes may contain options for solving individual problems.However, you usually have to replace the program with an corrected version.You can do this either by downloading a patch from sapservX or by installing a more current SAPGUI.The patch is mentioned in the respective note.
ad 3 Installation
You either need to reinstall the SAPGUI or manually copy the missing file into the SAPGUI directory.In both cases you should make sure beforehand that a Graphical Layout Editor is no longer running.To do this you can either remove all processes gneux.exe from the process list by using a tool such as Task Manager (on WindowsNT) or exit the Graphical Layout Editor from the Screen Painter Transaction menu via Edit -> Cancel Graphical Screen Painter). Attention:For each session or system an individial Layout Editor process may exist so that, if need be, several processes should be cancelled.
ad 4 System link
Up to Release 3.0F:you can either delete the environment variable SAPGRAPH or copy all the files of the Graphical Layout Editor into the directory which is specified by SAPGRAPH.
As of Release 3.1G:you can use Transaction SM59 to check the RFC destination EU_SCRP_WN32 (expand the TCP/IP connections, select destination EU_SCRP_WN32).If the destination is missing, then you should create it with the following settings:
- Connection type "T" (start of an external program via ...)
- Activation type "Start"
- Start on "Front-end workstation"
- Front-end workstation program "gnetx.exe" (caution! NOT gneux.exe)
- Description (optional) "Graph. Screen Painter (Windows32)
Start Program gneux.exe using the gnetx.exe starter program."
If you want to start the program from a different directory than the SAPGUI standard directory, then replace the default value under Frontend work station by the complete path name for program gnetx.exe.Transaction SM59 also allows you to check the RFC connection via the pushbutton "Test connection").In this case the system attempts to localize and start the program gnetx.exe.If there are errors, a message is displayed regarding the possible causes (for example, gateway problem, timeout problem or the like).Note 101971 provides a detailed explanation of the problems involved with an RFC connection set-up.As the Graphical Screen Painter requires a functional RFC connection as of Release 3.1G, contact the System Administrator or create an message on the topic Middleware (BC-MID-RFC) if you encounter RFC problems.
If the program gnetx.exe can be found and started, the banner dialog box with logo, release data and version number is displayed briefly.As the Layout Editor itself is not started, the error cause must be in the installation of the Layout Editor program gneux.exe if the connection test was successful.
Release 4.5A to 4.6B: Use with Releases <3.1G>.
The Graphical Layout Editor is downward-compatible as regards the system connection, that is, an RFC-based Layout Editor for example from Release 4.6C can also be used on a non-RFC-based Screen Painter, for example of Release 3.0F.However, the releases mentioned above have a program error which causes a crash due to memory violation in the start phase of the program.Note 197328 describes the solution by installation of the corrected program version.
Important: Trace file dev_euspNNN!
If none of the diagnosis steps leads to the cause of the error and to the solution of the problem via the corresponding note, then you should add the contents of the trace files dev_euspNNN (NNN = process number) to the message for SAP, if possible.You can find this file in the current directory of the SAP System, for example under Windows NT in C:\Winnt\Profiles\<user>\SAPworkdir.If several such trace files can be found there, make sure that you use the file which matches the termination time with respect to date and time of creation.In most cases the ERROR message in the last lines of this trace file provides an important note on the cause of the error.
Source code corrections
Symptom
The graphic layout editor of the Screen Painter cannot be started (RFC version).
Other terms
() EUNOTE, EUSCREENPAINTER
Reason and Prerequisites
This is generally caused by the fact that the RFC connection between the frontend graphics layout editor and the calling screen painter program at the backend cannot be set up.
Possibility 1: Route permission denied
In the trace file dev_eusp<Process Id> of the graphics layout editor you find the entry "ERROR in RFCMgr_accept: not accepted", and in the RFC trace file dev_rfc.trc you have an entry of the form "ERROR route permission denied (<Front-Id> to <BackId>,<Service>)".
If there is a firewall between frontend computer and application
server, you need to decide whether the port for the RFC of the graphical layout editor can be released here (see Solution 1 below).
In case no firewall exists between the frontend computer and the application server, in its route permission table, the SAProuter contains either no entry for the frontend computer, on which the graphics layout editor is started, or the entry says that the link is saved by a password.Since the connection is denied, the graphics editor processes exits again, and the screen painter switches to the alphanumeric layout editor.
Possibility 2: Service 'sapgw<ServiceId>' unknown
In the trace file dev_eusp<ProzessId> of the graphics layout editor you have the entry "ERROR in RFCMgr_accept: not accepted", and in the RFC trace file dev_rfc.trc you have an entry of the form "ERROR service 'sapgw<ServiceId>' unknown".
The service sapgw<ServiceId> (for example, sapgw00) is not known on one of the computers participating in the RFC communication because the corresponding entry is missing in its service file. The affected computer can be the frontend computer or the gateway computer.
Possibility 3: The system parameter gw/cpic_timeout value is too low
This system parameter determines how many seconds the gateway is waiting for the RFC connection to be set up.In case of a high network load, the default value of 20 seconds is too small with the result that the connection cannot be created on time.Here the graphics layout editor process also exits with the trace file entry "ERROR in RFCMgr_accept: not accepted".
Possibility 4: System parameter abap/no_sapgui_rfc set
The profile parameter abap/no_sapgui_rfc of the system is set (that is, it has a value not equal to space or 0).This prevents the program of the graphics layout editor from being started with RFC at the frontend.
Possibility 5: Unnecessary authorization check
The error message "No RFC authorization for user xxxxxx" is generated although the check of the RFC authorization was deactivated by profile parameter auth/rfc_authority_check (value = space or 0). The problem is caused by a program error, that ignores the value of the profile parameter let during the call of the RFC authorization check (see Note 93254). This error can occur as of Release 4.5.
Solution
ad 1) If a Firewall is installed between frontend computer and the application server, you need to decide whether the port for the RFC link of the graphical layout editor shall be released in the firewall. This is port 33nn, where nn is the 2-digit system number of the SAP application server. As of Release 3.1G, the graphical layout editor needs an RFC link for communication with the application server in addition to the already existing linkof the SAP GUIs. Such a second link is not allowed by the firewall in general because it would contradict the security concept (password protection, logging of the connection).
If no firewall exists, you should check whether the frontend computer can be added to the route permission table or whether the password option can be removed from out of the available entry.
For details refer to chapter 4.4 of the attached Note 30289.
ad 2) Include service sapgw<ServiceId> in the service file.
Refer to Note 52959 for details.
ad 3) Increase value for system parameter gw/cpic_timeout. 60 seconds should be sufficent as a timeout limit.
ad 4) Set the system parameter abap/no_sapgui_rfc to space or 0
Start the application server so that the new parameter value comes into effect.
ad 5) Import the Support Package specified in the attachment for the release in question or implement the advance correction in the source code as described in the attached correction instructions.
As a workaround, assign RFC authorizations as described in Note 93254.

Issues in Screen Painter

Hi All,
The Screen painter (SE51) is not displaying with Graphical Layout editor,though i have selected the Graphical Layout editor check box (From Utilities->Screen Painter> set the Graphical Layout Editor check box also marked ) .
Though i am not able to get Graphical layout editor instead i am getting the alphanumeric editor only.
Can anyone please suggest or give a solution for this will be appreciable.

In case if u r not getting the Graphical Painter after installing the GUI Patch.
Contact you basis person and ask him to open a port suppying information to GUI at front end. It needs to be done at SERVER end.
Check the RFC - EU_SCRP_WN32 destination in SM59.
Perform a "Test Connection": if the connection doesn't work maybe there is an issue in the connection between the presentation server and the application server.
Check if there is a firewall that blocks the port used by the RFC.
I have the same problem if I use a VPN connection to logon. The graphical screen-painter does not work...
Hope this will give you some help in resolving the issue.
If it still persists pl. write back to me.

Graphical Screen Painter

Hi Experts,
I need to design screen. when i use Layout in Se51 tcode system gives "Graphical Screen Painter is not avaliable. Continue with Alphanumeric Editor?" What is the problem? How to resolve it?
I already check the Graphical Screen Editor checkbox under SETTINGS also. still the same message is coming..
pls guide
Thanks

HI,
Its a problem with the GUI installation... You uninstall and again reinstall... Even then if you face the problem then uninstall and if any new version available go with it or if you have only one version then Goto REGEDIT and delete the DLL's and Configurations logs and install again freshly..
Be careful while deleting DLL's in REGEDIT..
IF you know you do it or else dont TOUCH THAT.
Better than the best go for the new version if you are using old which would definitely help you.
*If you are working in Client System then cross check with Basis Team..
Or
Check the patch level of your GUI and download a new patch and install it.. This will also solve your issue..*
Hope this would solve your problem

LAYOUT IN SCREEN

hi experts::
i am doing a Mudulepool report and when i access to teh LAYOUT its not comming(its comming as a editor). Plz suggest if any configrations needed to desighn screen elements
plz help

Hi Mahesh..
It is bcoz there is a File called "EUMFCDLL.DLL" missing while installing SAP GUI.
So it will give an ALPHANUMERIC EDITOR instead of Graphical Screen Painter.
Get this file from the BASIS consultant.
You have to Download this file into this Location in ur PC:
C:\PROGRAM FILES\SAP\FRONTEND\SAPGUI
Then it will work.

Removed conditions still 'visible', how to remove it permanently?

Hi,
I put a condition in my workflow, but then had to remove it. So I removed it from the workflow builder. Now everytime i generate and activate my workflow again i still get warnings on the condition that i removed. My guess is that the condition is still someshere in a table or something.
How can i get rid of the warnings?

Hi Robert,
Sounds quite bizarre.
So the condition step, plus the outcomes and any steps on the outcomes have all been deleted now?
was your condition step the first step or last step in your workflow? or was it somewhere in the middle?
Try this... Open your Workflow through PFTC
Task type = Workflow Template
Task = Workflow number without the WS
This should open your Workflow Template.
Then from the menu, click on "GoTo -> Alphanumeric Editor -> Current Version"
(Also check under the "Operators" branch - it might still be there).
Do you see the condition step still there? Delete it there. Save and try and activate now.
If all else fails, check this table "SWDSCONDEF" for condition in Workflow definition.
Other tables to check for WF definition include:
SWDSBINDEF
SWDSEXPR
SWDSHEADER
SWDSMETHOD
SWDSMLINES
SWDSMNODES
SWDSSTEPS
SWDSTEXT
SWDSWFCONT
SWDSWFCTXT
SWD_BINDEF
SWD_CONDEF
SWD_EXPR
SWD_HEADER
SWD_LINES
SWD_METHOD
SWD_MLINES
SWD_MNODES
SWD_NODES
SWD_STEPS
SWD_WFCONT
SWD_WFCTXT
