Blocks in SAP Script

Hi Experts,
Please help me out with this....I need to have boxes for all the records..Like if I have 10 records then i need to have the boxes which have been printed fr the first record should get printed for the other 10 records...
But this is nt happening...I am getting all the records on the basis of the range I enter in the selection criteria but not the boxes which i am getting only for the first record.
Also I need to have chechboxes in the headr of the report which will be checked by the user. Please let me know how to create checkboxes in the SAP Script.

hi!
create a variable window and write this code there
/: POSITION XORIGIN '2' CM YORIGIN '10' CM
/: SIZE WIDTH '18.05' CM HEIGHT '18' CM
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW
/: POSITION XORIGIN '2.05' CM YORIGIN '10.05' CM
/: BOX WIDTH '18' CM HEIGHT '1' CM INTENSITY 15
/: POSITION XORIGIN '3.5' CM YORIGIN '10' CM
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW WIDTH '0' TW HEIGHT '18' CM
/: POSITION XORIGIN '9.2' CM YORIGIN '10' CM
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW WIDTH '0' TW HEIGHT '18' CM
/: POSITION XORIGIN '11.5' CM YORIGIN '10' CM
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW WIDTH '0' TW HEIGHT '18' CM
then create a main window with same height and width as that of the varaible window (overlapping the variable window on to it).
now on looping in the main table and displaying the data 10 records in the one page and then 10 records on the other page the boxes will come it self....
here the main window dimensions are
MAIN 00 Main Window 2,00 CM 10,00 CM 18,00 CM 18,00 CM
[then with the help of data element call the box
/: BOX WIDTH '18' CM HEIGHT '1' CM FRAME 10 TW
in loop where write_form is called....]
u will get the box with the data printed in the form......
keeping same for the variable window....
and try it....
this will be done....

Sap script block positioning.

hi,
i have 2 pages in my sap script.
both the pages have the same "main" window.
i have given box command in the begining of this main window:
/:BOX XPOS '.5' CM YPOS '0' CM WIDTH '25' CM HEIGHT '1' CM FRAME 0 TW INTENSITY 15
/:BOX XPOS '.5' CM YPOS '0' CM WIDTH '25' CM HEIGHT 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
/:BOX XPOS '.5' CM YPOS '1' CM WIDTH '25' CM HEIGHT 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
The problem i am facing is :the box is coming at the right place for 1st page, but at the top of the page for the next window. i think it must be taking y coord. from the top of the page for the next window.
Please give a suitable solution for this,
thanks in advance,
Ravindra

hii Ravindra,
try this out
/: POSITION XORIGIN '11.21' YORIGIN '5.31' MM
/: SIZE HEIGHT '2' MM WIDTH '76' MM
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 10
This can be usefull if you gave several boxes that share the same parameters.
If you want to set the position realtively to the window use POSITION WINDOW
to set the position to the top/left start of the window. Then use POSITION
to set the current position relatively to the start of the Window.
Note that you uses "+" or "-" in the ORIGIN position to the set the position relatively.
/: POSITION WINDOW
/: POSITION XORIGIN '5' MM YORIGIN '10' MM
the position is now 5 MM from the left and 10 MM from the top of the window
NOTE: After using the position command you can move the current position
realtively to the last used position
/: POSITION XORIGIN '10' MM YORIGIN '20' MM
Now the position will be X = 15 and Y = 30
Drawing a line. You can draw a line by setting the Height or Weidth to 0
and add a frane. E.g. a horizontal line:
/: SIZE HEIGHT '0' MM WIDTH '200' MM
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW XPOS '11.21' MM YPOS '14.81' MM INTENSITY 100
i guess this will help
revert back for more help

Problem in SAP-Script Conditional Block

Hi All,
I am creating one report form using SAP Script, which uses standard driver program. There is a control statement like,
{ Consider W=1, X=0 , Y=0 & Z=0 }
/: IF ((X==0 AND Y==0) OR (Z==0 OR W==0) OR ...) { lot of OR & AND stament used in this conditional statment }
/: ELSE
/: ENDIF
Here is a mistery, it executes both if and else statement. Please give me some idea on this, and why such a weird output is displaying?

Hi..
The syntax of the command could be incorrect. Check for full stops, variables etc.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/en/d1/80325f454211d189710000e8322d00/content.htm
Please check the above link's last paragraph which says :
"If a syntax error occurs in the interpretation of this command, then the command is not executed. This may have an unexpected effect on the subsequent text output. For example, if the IF statement is incorrect, then all following ELSEIF and ELSE commands will be ignored, since the opening IF command is u2018missingu2019. This will cause all the text lines attached to the ELSEIF and ELSE commands to be printed."

Regarding Adding multiple SAP Scripts in one Transaction

Hi All,
I have a requirement where i will have to develop one custom transaction which will have multiple SAP Script Forms to it.
The scenario is as below:
First i will have to create a Program with Selection-Screen with 10 Radio buttons in one Block - Here Each Radio Button indicated Diffrent FORM[SAP SCRIPT].
Down to it i will create another Block with some selection-screen fields. Like Order Type, Order No, Customer PO number, SOLD TO, BILL TO, SHIP TO etc.
And based on Radio button selected allowed order types will vary!
So after selecting one Form[Radio button] and enetring other selection fields once i press execute button.
i need to display list of Orders in ALV List output with check boxes for each record in the List Output.
Here all the radio button Forms are related to Sales Order document and Delivery document
So do we need to create new ALV List Report (or) We can use submit VF31 transaction's program [sd70av3a].
After we are displayed with orders in the output.
Then we should provide a functionality as such if user selects mutiple Orders/Check boxes he should be able to view multiple Orders one after other, and simultaneously generate PDF Files for Each Order Selected and attach them in Mail send them to Block of users.
Can anybody give there sujjestions.
Without generating spool request no's is it possible to generate PDF files for SAP SCript output!
Is it possible to Generate & attach one/multiple PDF files to mail ID and send them to list of users!
Can anybody give inputs.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Prasad.

hi prasad,
There is one concept called Print Work Bench(PWB) to print the multiple scripts or smartforms which r assigned to a same transaction.
If u need the info related to PWB shoot me a test mail to [email protected]
i will send u the same
fot the same u can check the below link also
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/64/bf2f12ed1711d4b655006094192fe3/content.htm
Prasad i didn't get the mail from you plz check it once again
If u find it useful plz mark the points

ABAP QUERY PROGRAM OUTPUT SHOULD DISPLAY FROM SAP SCRIPT.

THIS IS MY URGENT REQUIREMENT ...
I DONT KNOW ABAP QUERY PROGRAM ..
PLEASE SUGGEST ME A WAY ON THIS ....
Functional requirements
Introduction
The wish of the customer is a printable customer overview. All desired fields will be shown in a new query called ZZADDRSS_CO. Double entries are taken for granted because of the data taken from the sales area and because of multiple contact persons. The customer accepts this. It should be made possible that the user creates and saves its own variant.
A second overview is needed, another ABAP will be developed for this requirement. This ABAP will show all the customer data and this list will have the possibility to be printed.
Solution
New Query ZZADDRESS_CO
The desired fields of attachment 1 need to be shown in the query.
The selection criteria are shown in attachment 2.
The column names of the additional data have to changed in the query.
Customer Overview.
Functional specification.
On behalf of this customer overview a standard SAP transaction will be used (transaction VC/2).This transaction will be extended.
The fields are shown on screen with the described headers. Printing of the overview will be done via SAP script. The script makes use of a fixed layout of the data.
The selection criteria are specified in attachment 2.
The layout of the customer overview and the SAP Script are specified in attachment 3.
Specification.
The next steps need to be performed.
1.     A routine per infoblock need to be created in Include RV77UNNN. In this routine the data is retrieved and written down to the screen and script,
Example LST1_901 . In include RV77SNNN you can find the standard infoblocks.
2.     Adapt via transaction SE16 table TFRM.
3.     Create a new view in the customizing (sales and distribution- Sales support-sales summary-Assign Reporting Views).Assign the new view to the infoblocks.(Example view 001 is assigned to block 901).
4.     In customizing it is not possible to assign the correct window and element to the infoblock .so this is done via SE16 in table T182A.
5.     Adapt script. Copy script SD-SALES-SUMMARY to a Z-SALES_SUMM.
Assign this new version to the new view in customizing. Create in the main window the element who writes the data on behalf of the print.

Problem in SAP-Script

Hi All,
I am creating one report form using SAP Script, it is a replacement of standard SAP Script and which uses standard driver program. I am getting one dump while running SAP Script, it shows like "variable with name 'XXX' has not been used in so and so window".
In that window there is a code block like,
/: IF XXX == 'yes'
/: ENDIF
As I dont want this block I have commented this like,
/* IF XXX == 'yes'
/* ENDIF
Please let me know how to overcome this short-dump and provide solution why such dump is comming?

Hi,
This is one of the problem of Standard SAP Script driver program, we can over come easily, we no need to comment anything rather do follow the code you can easily solve your issue, I also face the same issue previously.
your code is,
/: IF XXX = 'Yes'
/: ENDIF
like this means, then change the code like this,
/: IF 1 = 2
/: IF XXX = 'Yes'
/: ENDIF
/: ENDIF
here, you didnt write any comment, also the code will never execute.
Why we are doing this means, driver program expects particular variable has to be used in particular window, but it never expects that variable has to be executed. By using this code you can use the variable also it will never be executed.
Hope it will be helpful. If you find any other solution please let me know, Thank you:)

Migration of SAP Script to SmartFrom

Hi Experts,
I migrated an SAP Script to a Smartform. The SAP Script have a lot of PERFORM <...> IN PROGRAM <....> and these are written in a report porgram. I want to know, how to convert those calls and subroutines so that I can use them in Smartforms. your help is appreciated.
Thank you,
Surya.

You can copy the code into CODE BLOCKs in Smartform.
In SAPscripts, these performs are used to calculate some value or processing some data.
You can do the same in the CODE blocks in Smartform. Identify what exactly that perform is doing and identify where exactly you can write that in Smartform so that it fits with overall flow of the Smartform.

Same set of data should print twice on same page in SAP SCRIPT

Hi Experts,
I come across a requirement where I need same set of data in sap script should print twice as it is on same page.
and if first page overflow, then same scenario should continue till complete data is printed. Basically main window data should print twice in two blocks on same page.
E.g.
If I have 10 line item which is to be printed on top window on first page. Now I want that same 10 lines should be printed in a block below the first block. Data should flow similarly across multiple pages.
Hope my question is pretty clear. I am expecting suitable answers from experts.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,

I had the same request for a check form in Canada. I solved it by writing the line item output into variables and print these variables in a second window. It was ~10 hours of effort, not a real nice technical solution but it worked.
If you require I can send you a PDF of the sap script form definition. You can contact me at [email protected] Answers can take 1 week or more.
Best regards

Sap Script printing issue

Hi Gurus,
I am working on a SAP script... when I am printing the SAP script the last few lines of my text is missing... I got to know that there might be a problem in the page setting... i.e. the page may be set as a A4 and i am printing on letter... so can you please tell me how can I check what the page setting that my sap script is using.
Thanks,
Rajaeev Gupta

Hi,
Issue of 'part of the Text missing' is happening during Print Preview or when taking a print out?
I guess, the problem is due to height of the window, the height of the window where u printing this text is not able to accomodate the entire text. just increase the height of the window & try.
To know the page format that ur script is using, just follow the below steps:
Txn SE71--> give the Script form name > click on change/Display button> click on Header button (red hat symbol) in app tool bar or press F5 button --> now click on Basic Settings button. Here u see the Page Format in 'Set up Page' block...
Hope it helps!!

Printing sap script to spool by skipping print parameter window

Hi all,
I am trying to print an output (derived from sap script) directly from program to spool and then fetch the spool request and download it to PDF. This should happen automatically when the end user executes the program by giving required inputs. Can any one guide me on this ?

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.

Zebra background - sap script

Hi Everyone,
Can anybody say how to create zebra background in sap script. Eg:- line number one the background is blank and line number 2 is shaded with grey background and line number 3 is blank and so forth.....
The numbers of lines are dynamic data (repeating) and the numbers are unknown.

Hi Arun,
Yes, it is possible to make a bank ground picture in SAPscript also. For this you have to do is create a new window and see the dimensions fit the entire page. Now creat vertical frames in that window at equal gap and fill the alternative blocks of it.
This will give you zebra background in SAP Script.
Note: all other windows that contains data/ text will not be effected. it will be displayed on the image.
Hope this will help.

Nitin.
