Sapscript: display in main window table ... repeat table haeder on new page

Hi all,
I have a form with one Window -> Main Window, in this Window it will be written many different information... there is also a table, when the table cause a new-page, the header (discription of the table) should be written (repeated) also on the new page.
Im trying to find out, how i can get the page number in the print-programm... but I dont found any variable (print_co-actpage doesnt work)
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi David,
I'm sure you've got around your requirement by now, but for future reference you can get the page number into your print program by calling the function module 'GET_TEXTSYMBOL'.
data: lv_page(255) type c.
lv_page = '&PAGE&'.
call function 'GET_TEXTSYMBOL'
     exporting line             = lv_page
                    start_offset = 0
     importing value            = lv_page.
Cheers,
Darren

SAPscript layout -Repeating Main window in same page

Hi,
I have a requirement in sapscript layout to duplicate content within a page in two sections, of which the content can span across multiple pages.
Can anyone give an idea how this can be achieved.
This particular layout has 3 sections:
1st window (Top window): invoice Details (multiple items)
2nd window (Middle window): Check Details single item
3rd window (Bottom window): invoice Details (multiple items) {same content of the 1st window}
The invoice details can span across multiple pages.
Main window alone works perfect with the requirement.
I have attempted with a copy of a Main window for the 3rd window, and as it's specified it can only continue from the 1st main Window and i couldn't find a way to control it's value passing from the calling program.
I have also tried using a dynamic window for the 3rd window, but haven't worked to get the desired values shown across multiple pages. When it cross to a new page it repeats its last value across all pages.
Please help me with this. Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Viraj.

The Standard layout only prints the invoice details once.
If your existing layout prints invoice repeated, which means that already a customization is in place which repeats the invoice breakdown.
If the items are being repeated in the main window, it could be that the repetition customization is done on the calling program, then a solution could be to remove/comment that call in the calling program by searching text element name.
If the items are being repeated from a non-main window, then a solution could be to remove/comment the entire element in the non-main window.
hope this helps
Best Regards,
Viraj.

What is the difference between Constant Window, Variable Window,Main Window

hello all
what is the difference between 1) Constant Window
2) Variable Window
3) Main Window in SAP SCRIPT

Hi,
Window Types
When defining a form window, you must select a window type for the window.
You can choose between three types:
Constant Windows (CONST)
Variable Windows (VAR)
Main Windows (MAIN)
Constant Windows (CONST)
Starting with Release 4.0, the system internally processes windows of type CONST similar to windows of type VAR.
Therefore, if you create a new window, always use type VAR.
Variable Windows (VAR)
The contents of variable windows is processed again for each page, on which the window appears.
The system outputs only as much text as fits into the window. Text exceeding the window size is truncated;
the system does not trigger a page break. Unlike constant windows, the page windows declared as variable windows may have different sizes on different form pages.
As far as the processing of the window contents is concerned, the system currently treats constant and variable windows alike.
The only difference is that constant windows have the same size throughout the form.
Main Windows (MAIN)
Each form must have one window of type MAIN. Such a window is called the main window of the form.
For SAPscript forms, the main window has a central meaning:
It controls the page break.
It contains the text body that may cover several pages.
It allows to fix text elements at the upper and lower margins of the allocated page window (for example, for column headings).
As soon as a window of type MAIN is full, SAPscript automatically triggers a page break and continues to
output the remaining text in the main window of the subsequent page. Page windows of type MAIN have the same width throughout the form.
The SAPscript composer thus avoids reformatting of the text after each page break.
If a page does not have a main window, the system implicitly processes all other windows of the page and continues with the subsequent page.
This page must not call itself as subsequent page (recursive call), since this would produce an endless loop.
In such a case, SAPscript terminates the output after three subsequent pages.
For printing header lines or totals, the different output areas of the main window are of special importance.

What is the use of MAIN WINDOW in SCRIPTS

what is the use of MAIN WINDOW in SCRIPTS, y we con't create a script w/o main window.
Title was edited by:
Alvaro Tejada Galindo

Hi
See this
What are the different types of windows in SAP Scripts?
Windows are defined in the Layout sets which define the position and the text to displayed.
The different types of windows are:
MAIN - Main Window
The main window is a continous window which can extend over several pages. If the text in the main window fills up a page, a new page is created.
Only one main window can be defined in the SAP Script whereas upto 100 instances of main window can be created in a page.
VAR - Variable Window
This window can have the variable contents displayed on them. The contents of the window cannot exceed the window size. The content can be formatted for each page.
CONST - Constant Window
The constant window can have a fixed content and is formatted only once.
Main Windows (MAIN)
Each form must have one window of type MAIN. Such a window is called the main window of the form. For SAPscript forms, the main window has a central meaning:
It controls the page break.
It contains the text body that may cover several pages.
It allows to fix text elements at the upper and lower margins of the allocated page window (for example, for column headings).
As soon as a window of type MAIN is full, SAPscript automatically triggers a page break and continues to output the remaining text in the main window of the subsequent page. Page windows of type MAIN have the same width throughout the form. The SAPscript composer thus avoids reformatting of the text after each page break.
Variable Windows (VAR)
The contents of variable windows is processed again for each page, on which the window appears. The system outputs only as much text as fits into the window. Text exceeding the window size is truncated; the system does not trigger a page break. Unlike constant windows, the page windows declared as variable windows may have different sizes on different form pages.
Constant Windows (CONST)
Starting with Release 4.0, the system internally processes windows of type CONST similar to windows of type VAR. Therefore, if you create a new window, always use type VAR.

Main Window in SAP Script

Hi Guys,
I wanted to know as to why is it possible to create multiple main window in SAP Script.
      In most theory it is written a SAP Script can only use 1 main window, If thats the case why is it still possible to create more than 1 of them.
      Can you explain its use and functionality.
Helpful answers will be duly rewarded.

Hi,
U can have multiple main windows in Sapscripts(Upto 99)
Main Windows (MAIN)
Each form must have one window of type MAIN. Such a window is called the main window of the form. For SAPscript forms, the main window has a central meaning:-
? It controls the page break.
? It contains the text body that may cover several pages.

its use and functionality.*
Suppose you have requirement that you r displaying data from two line item tables which can flow multiple pages.
In this case u have to use multiple mail windows.

More than 1 main window in forms

hi all,
before the question pls see below first :
Next Main Window: NEW-WINDOW
Each page can consist of up to 99 main windows. Each main window is assigned a consecutive identifying number (0..98), and the windows are filled in this order. This feature enables SAPscript to print labels and to output multi-column text. When one main window fills up, the next main window on that page is taken, if there is a next one. A page break is inserted after the last main window.
You can use the NEW-WINDOW command to call the next main window explicitly, even if the current main window is not yet full. If you are in the last main window of the page, the command has the same effect as the NEW-PAGE command.
Syntax:
/: NEW-WINDOW
does someone can give me a detail view about how to use several main windows in 1 page ? both in smartforms and sapscript.
pls say more clearly .
best regards
kevin

Hi,
Ya in smartform u can not create more than one main window. u can use final window after using main window but one problem with final window is u can not define any window after that so that try to create it in only last window.
As for main window a page can have only one.
You may have number of Variable windows
Main window can only be one. One it can be copied to next page.
but secondary window as many as u want.

Error in Smartforms a page without a main window

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

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

Grouping in main window

Hi experts..
I am working on SCRIPTS.
I am looping my internal table in main window to print fields of main window.
my main window fields are--
box_id   pack_id sales order duty_code   box_wt.
but one more field is there..ie DEST_CODE, its CHAR type.
but i want to group my internal table records according to DEST_CODE.
means..on o/p form fields should b displayed---
dest_code = '--'
box_id   pack_id sales order duty_code   box_wt.
my all fields are get printed..
but can some body tell me "how to group my internal table records, according to one specific field"
when that DEST_CODE will change,
those records group must b different.
thanks i advance

Hi,
1. U declare the first field as 'DEST_CODE' in ur Internal Table.
2. Now, u SORT the internal table on DEST_CODE.
3. LOOP ur Internal Table & use control break events for grouping based on DEST_CODE.
Eg:
In Driver/Print Program:
   LOOP AT itab.
     at new DEST_CODE.
        call function 'WRITE_FORM'.
            exporting
               element = 'E1'
               window = 'MAIN'.
        endfunction.
     endat.
     call function 'WRITE_FORM'.
        exporting
           element = 'E2'
           window = 'MAIN'.
    endfunction.
ENDLOOP.
In Script Form: in Main Window
/E    E1                                             --> Calling Element E1 to print Dest_CODE
P1   &itab-DEST_CODE&                   --> Printing DEST_CODE once for every new DEST_CODE
/E    E2                                             --> Calling Element E1 to print Dest_CODE to print other details
P1   &itab-box_id&,,&itab-pack_id&,,&itab-sales_order&,,&duty_code&,,&box_wt&.
Hope its clear!!

What exactly is the diff between main window and variable window

what exactly is the diff between main window and variable window in SAP script?

hi,
MAIN WINDOW :- In a main window you display text and data, which can cover several pages (flow text). As soon as a main window is completely filled with text and data, the system continues displaying the text in the main window of the next page. It automatically triggers the page break.
You can define only have one window in a form as main window.
The main window must have the same width on each page, but can differ in height.
A page without main window must not call itself as next page, since this would trigger an endless loop. In such a case, the system automatically terminates after three pages.
VARIABLE WINDOW :- The contents of variable windows is processed again for each page, on which the window appears. The system outputs only as much text as fits into the window. Text exceeding the window size is truncated; the system does not trigger a page break. Unlike constant windows, the page windows declared as variable windows may have different sizes on different form pages.
As far as the processing of the window contents is concerned, the system currently treats constant and variable windows alike. The only difference is that constant windows have the same size throughout the form.
hope this will be useful.
If useful then reward points.
