Hi Vijay,
Setting default parameters for a box:
You can use the POSITION and SIZE commands to set default parmeters for a box.
Instead of: 
/: BOX XPOS '11.21' MM  YPOS '5.31' MM  HEIGHT '10' MM WIDTH '20' MM INTENSITY 10 FRAME 0 TW
You can write:
/: 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
SAP Printer commands in SAPScripts
The command line in the editor must be as follows:
/:  PRINT-CONTROL xxxxx
or
/:  PRINT-CONTROL 'xxxxx'
where xxxxx stands for the five-character name of the print control.
Example:
/:  PRINT-CONTROL ZM100
The complete printer command normally resides in the print control.
If characters belonging to the print command follow after the print control in the text (only useful for the HPL2 printer driver for PCL-5 printers), the text line following after the PRINT-CONTROL command should begin with an equals sign (=) in the format column.
Example:
/:  PRINT-CONTROL SESCP = *c5G
If you do not use the equals sign, a space character is inserted between the print control SESCP and the character *c5G.
Different font on the same line
You can have different font on the same line by defining a character format.
For example B for bold text and U for Underline. 
In your SAPScript apply like this : 
<U>Underline Text</> <B>Bold Text</>
Print Footer notes only on the last page
Command to used in your sapscripts :-
/: IF &NEXTPAGE& EQ 0 
      whatever footer you want. 
/: ENDIF 
SAPscripts How to calculate Totals and Subtotals
I have some doubs in BDC and SMART FORMS.  I want to change the material number using the transaction code MM02 through BDC.
In scripts and smartforms how to calculate totals and subtotals?
To calculate totals and sub totals in sap scripts you have to use subroutines.
Say if you have to add the unit price (KOMVD-KBERT) then in the main window whereever tat value is picked write this routine
/: DEFINE &TOT_PRICE&
/: PERFORM F_GET_PRICE IN PROGRAM <subroutine prog name> /:USING &KOMVD-KBERT& /:CHANGING &TOT_PRICE& /:ENDPERFORM
Then write the variable where ever you want it to be printed (mostly it will be in footer window)
Then create subroutine pool program and you have to write the code.
FORM F_GET_PRICE tables int_cond structure itcsy
                                    outt_cond structure itcsy. data : value type kbert.
statics   value1 type kbert.
Read int_cond table index 1.
value = int_cond-value.
value1 = value1 + value.
Read outt_cond table index 1.
outt_cond-value = value1.
Modify outt_cond index 1.
ENDFORM.
I have given a rough outline, please be aware of the variable conversions as Int_cond-value and outt_cond-value are characters.
