How can I achieve to print label without packaging

hello As I do not handle packaging for label . Is there any way to achieve this . Also I tried to put different gen variant for different label size in material master and put the same region but the system is not allowing to put two different gen variant which has two different size of label template . So that's why I configured another packing as box as put in separate packaging layer .I want to get rid of packaging layer finally and print my label . what will be the easiest way to handle this .
Regards,
M D

Dear M D
story is quite clear:
Global Label Management as a Labeling System in an Enterprise - Global Label Management (EHS-SAF-GLM) - SAP Library
SAP is defining it like
"Label determination in Global Label Management is based on the label view in Materials Management: Here, you configure the settings for the labels that are based on the packaging layers of the material. When doing so, you assign one or more labels or label templates to a packaging layer."
So SAP assumes you use"Packaging layer" approach
The topic is as well related to "Label Determination" process.
May be know: you can create your "own print scenarios"; there are as well a lot of other options available. As explained in: What is a "Label" and how support SAP EHS Management "Labeling"
There is a good chance that you will not use the SAP standard at many places in GLM. GLM projects have the trend that you use the "SAP framework" but use own code etc.
MAy be check as well:

New changes for GLM in EHP7.0 and ERP 6.0
(e.g. this subpart might be of interest: BAdI: Display Label Tree in 'Label Printing' (EHS_GLM_BADI_001)
Only "Con": you must be on the "correct" release level to use these new functions.

  • There are hidden pages in the PDF form I have.  How can I see and print all without clicking on the

    I have hidden pages in the PDF form I'm using (but didn't create).  How can I see and print all the pages at once without clicking on the "next page" button.  In the initial view, there are four pages, but if I click the "next page" button, there are a total of 12 pages in this document.  This is three budget years, each year being 4 pages long.

    You're most likely dealing with a dynamic XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer. You can open it, click the button, and save it, and it will most likely be 12 pages when next opened, but it depends on how the form is set up. The ability to make edits to an XFA form in Acrobat is very limited, especially for dynamic forms, so things like flattening aren't possible.
    If it's not an XFA form, you'd still need to click the button at least once and save. To say for sure what's possible, I'd need to see the document. Can you post it somewhere?

  • Can anyone tell me how to install a network printer driver without having the network printer online?

    Can anyone tell me how to install a network printer driver without having the network printer online? It doesn't matter what manufactors make the network printers. Is a netwaork printer(with network card) has to have that printer on line to be able to install
    the driver? This is the point of my question!
    I've ask a same type of question previously, but I can't either get good answer nor reply on the response.

    DP
    The computer (and driver) have to handshake with the printer, QED it has to be either online or physically connected and if it is physically connected it wont work on the network so yes it does.

      h2 Breakpoints  h2
    Apart from being able to execute an ABAP program in the Debugger, you can also start the Debugger call by the choosing a breakpoint. This is achieved by setting one or more of these breakpoints in the program. A breakpoint is a signal at a particular point in the program that tells the ABAP runtime processor to interrupt processing and start the Debugger. The Debugger is activated when the program reaches this point.
    There is also a special kind of breakpoint called a watchpoint. When you use watchpoints, the Debugger is not activated until the contents of a particular field change. For more information, refer to the chapter Watchpoints.
    Breakpoint Variants
    The Debugger contains different breakpoint variants:
    Static
    A user-specific breakpoint is inserted in the source code as an ABAP statement using the keyword BREAK-POINT. A non user-specific breakpoint is set in the ABAP Editor using the BREAK user name statement.
    Directly set
    dynamic breakpoints
    Can be set in the ABAP Editor or the Debugger by double-clicking a line, for example. Dynamic breakpoints are always user-specific, and are deleted when you log off from the R/3 System.
    Breakpoints
    at statements
    The Debugger stops the program immediately before the specified statement is executed.
    Breakpoints
    at subroutines
    The Debugger stops the program immediately before the specified subroutine is called.
    Breakpoints at function modules
    The Debugger stops the program immediately before the specified function module is called.
    Breakpoints at methods
    The Debugger stops the program immediately before the specified method is called.
    Breakpoints at exceptions and system exceptions
    The Debugger stops the program immediately after a system exception, that is, after a runtime error has been intercepted.
    Static Breakpoints
    Static breakpoints are always user-independent if there is no specification of a user name. Once a user has inserted the statement BREAK-POINT or BREAK name in an ABAP program, the system always interrupts the program at that point for that user or only for the user name. This procedure is only useful in the development phase of an application when program execution is always to be interrupted at the same place. For more information, refer to the chapter Static Breakpoints.
    In HTTP sessions, a static breakpoint is skipped if you did not set additional dynamic HTTP breakpoints in the editor of a BSP page. Instead, a corresponding system log entry is written, which can be checked using transaction SM21.
    Dynamic Breakpoints
    Dynamic breakpoints are user-specific. Therefore, you should use them if you only want the program to be interrupted when you run it yourself, not when it is being executed by other users. All dynamic breakpoints are deleted when you log off from the R/3 System.
    Dynamic breakpoints are more flexible than static breakpoints because you can deactivate or delete them at runtime. They have the following advantages:
    ·        You do not have to change the program code.
    ·        You can set them even when the program is locked by another programmer.
    ·        You can define a counter that only activates the breakpoint after it has been reached.
    Special dynamic breakpoints are useful when you want to interrupt a program directly before a particular ABAP statement, a subroutine, or an event, but do not know exactly where to find it in the source code. Event here is used to refer to the occurrence of a particular statement, for example, or calling up a method. Special dynamic breakpoints are user-specific. You can only set them in the Debugger. For more information, refer to the chapter Dynamic Breakpoints.
    In HTTP sessions, the system stops both at static and dynamic breakpoints if a dynamic breakpoint was set in the editor of a BSP page before program execution.
    Lifetime and Transfer of Breakpoints
    A static breakpoint remains intact as long as the BREAK-POINT or BREAK-POINT name statement is not removed from the source code. Without saving, dynamic breakpoints only remain intact in the relevant internal session. However, they remain in effect during the entire user session if they are saved by choosing the menu path Breakpoints ® Save in the ABAP Debugger. For more details on the subject of user sessions and modes, refer to Modularization Techniques in the ABAP keyword documentation.
    If you call an HTTP session during a user session, only the HTTP breakpoints are loaded when the HTTP session is started. You activate HTTP debugging in the ABAP Editor by choosing Utilities ® Settings ® HTTP Debugging. Depending on the setting, the system then displays either the HTTP or standard breakpoints in the Editor.
    If you call an update session during a user session, breakpoints that were defined beforehand in the calling processing unit are copied to the new update session, where they can be displayed under Breakpoints. If, in the ABAP Debugger, you check Update Debugging  under Settings and then, for example, call the update module func using CALL FUNCTION func IN UPDATE TASK, a new window is opened in which you can debug this function module in the update session. All the breakpoints that were set in the calling processing unit can also be processed here.
    For further information on special breakpoints, refer to:
    Breakpoints at Statements
    Breakpoints at Subroutines
    Breakpoints at Function Module Calls
    Breakpoints at Methods
    Breakpoints at System Exceptions

    WINDOW TYPES
    When defining a layout set 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 WINDOW
    A window of type CONST has the same contents and size on all layout set pages, on which a corresponding page window is defined. This allows the processing of the window contents to be optimized internally.
    Page windows whose allocated window is of type CONST must have the same size throughout the layout set. If a window of type CONST is full, all remaining text the application program wants to output in this window, is lost. Constant windows do not trigger a page break. In other words: all text exceeding the window size is simply truncated.
    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 layout set 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 layout set.
    MAIN WINDOW
    Each layout set must have one window of type MAIN. Such a window is called the main window of the layout set. For SAPscript layout sets, 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 layout set. 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.
    HOW THE COMPOSER WORKS
    The composer or layout set processor is the central formatting module for the print output. It prepares the texts for the different output devices by using the allocated styles or layout sets.
    Processing a layout set happens in a certain order. You must know some facts concerning the different window types, the setting of subsequent pages, or the dynamic control from within the print program.
    Page control in layout sets
    Define subsequent page statically
    Define subsequent page dynamically
    Format a layout set page
    PAGE CONTROL IN LAYOUT SETS
    SAPscript automatically triggers a page break as soon as the main window of one page is full. To be able to execute the page break, the system must know on which subsequent page to continue outputting the text. You can specify the subsequent page either statically when defining the layout set, or you can set the subsequent page dynamically during layout set output.
    If the subsequent page is not specified, SAPscript automatically terminates printing, thereby ignoring any other output statements of the application program.
    DEFINE SUBSEQUENT PAGE STATICALLY
    You define the subsequent page statically with the layout set maintenance transaction. First, specify the start page in the layout set header. The system automatically calls this page whenever the layout set is started. With this page, or, more correctly, with the page window of this page, the text output starts. For each page, specify the subsequent page in the page definition. After a page break, the system continues text output on the subsequent page defined for the last page. By specifying start page and subsequent pages, you can define a page sequence.
    DEFINE SUBSEQUENT PAGE DYNAMICALLY
    The page sequence set in the layout set definition can be changed by the application program dynamically at runtime. If you want the layout set to start with a page other than the one defined in the layout set header, specify the desired start page using the parameter STARTPAGE when you call the function module START_FORM. However, this new start page is valid only for the current call of the function module.
    If you want to break to a subsequent page other than the one specified in the page definition, use the control statement NEW-PAGE to set the name of the new page.
    NEW-PAGE .
    NEW-PAGE ends the output on the current page. The new subsequent page is only valid for the current call of the control statement. You can either include the control statement explicitly into the text of a text element or pass it to the layout set output using the function module CONTROL_FORM.
    FORMAT LAYOUT SET PAGE
    The process of formatting the output is controlled by the text contents in the BODY area of the main window. If the main window is completely filled, or if the control statement NEW-PAGE appears in the main window, the system executes a page break. Only at this point in time the system formats the contents of the windows of the other types and replaces the variables with the current values.
    For each other window, the system first outputs the default text element, if it exists. Then it processes and formats the list of the active text elements of this window, which you set using the function module WRITE_FORM with the parameter FUNCTION (SET, APPEND, DELETE). Any text that does not fit into the page window is truncated.
    As a consequence to this processing order of the composer, the reservation of space for the TOP and BOTTOM areas must be made beforehand. If the BODY area of the main window already contains text, a new text output to the TOP area does not appear on the current page but on the subsequent page in the TOP area. The same applies for the BOTTOM area. If the BODY area is filled to such an extend that the new BOTTOM text no longer fits into the current main window, this text appears on the subsequent page in the BOTTOM area.
    A frequent error in application programs is that for the subsequent page (for example, NEXT) of a layout set no main window is defined. If the formatted text of the previous page did not fit into the corresponding main window , the composer searches the subsequent pages for a main window to output the text remainder. However, if the subsequent page of NEXT is NEXT again, the composer encounters an endless loop.
    To be able to create correct page breaks in longer text, you should define a main window on each layout set page.
    LAYOUT SET CONTROL
    To output SAPscript layout sets, in the print program you must always start the output with OPEN_FORM and end it with CLOSE_FORM. The function module OPEN_FORM initializes the SAPscript composer and opens the specified layout set for subsequent output. The system combines all output for this layout set up to the CLOSE_FORM to one print request. If CLOSE_FORM is missing, nothing will be printed.
    To output data in a layout set, you must use the SAPscript function modules WRITE_FORM, WRITE_FORM_LINES, and CONTROL_FORM. You can use these function modules any number of times in any order between opening and closing a layout set.
    You cannot use the ABAP/4 statement WRITE to write output to a SAPscript layout set.
    Several print requests
    Start a layout set again
    Switch layout sets
    Find layout sets
    SEVERAL PRINT REQUESTS
    Within one transaction, you can open and close several layout sets using OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM, however not simultaneously. You can use parameters in the OPEN_FORM to control whether the output is stored in the same print request. But also the SAP spool decides, depending on several plausibility checks, whether new output is appended to an existing print request or whether to create a new print request anyway.
    CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
    CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
    CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
    CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
    You cannot combine ABAP/4 list output and SAPscript output in one print request.
    START A LAYOUT SET AGAIN
    Usually a print program does not print only one urging letter or one account statement, but several layout sets for different customers. To have the output for each customer begin with the start page of the layout set, you must start the current layout set again and again.
    To start a layout set again, you must first end the current layout set and then open the layout set again. Within one print request, first call the function module END_FORM. It executes the final processing for the current layout set. Then start the layout set again using START_FORM. Output then begins again on the start page of the desired layout set.
    CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
    CALL FUNCTION 'START_FORM'
    CALL FUNCTION 'END_FORM'
    CALL FUNCTION 'START_FORM'
    CALL FUNCTION 'END_FORM'
    CALL FUNCTION CLOSE_FORM
    If you use START_FORM and END_FORM, you must not specify a layout set for OPEN_FORM. However, in this case you can use the SAPscript output functions only after opening a layout set with START_FORM.

  • How can i achieve tis in Bex Query Designer

    Hi Experts,
    Please advise on how can i achieve this in Query.
    I got Location,Material_ID,Price and Change_Date.
    (Change_Date is defined as both CHAR & KF in cube)
    (Change date is on monthly basis they execute a programe in non sap source system to update the prices of material)
    The Price of material tends to change or may not change ...
    Every month we get a record from source system on material price
    My requirment is to bulid a report that show
    LocationMaterial_IDCurrent Price  and Previous Price
    Please advise how can i develop this report

    While loading into cube, normally you map  price field coming from datasaource to
    infobject  ZPRICE_CURRENT   in your infocube.
    So in transformation you map like this
    price  -
    > ZPRICE_CURRENT
    Now, Maintain another keyfigure in cube  ZPRICE_PREVIOUS.
    That is not mapped with anything.But is assigned a value in the Start routine
    which just runs before, the transformation.
    In the start routine write code something like this :
    Read current value of price from cube for that Material.
    (Select  ZPRICE_CURRENT into price_curr  from cube where material = DATA-PACKAGE- Material   )
    if  DATA_PACKAGE-price <> price_curr   ( if new_price <> old_price)
    ZPRICE_PREVIOUS = price_curr. (storign present value of price in the cube )
    endif.
    Now save the Start routine. When mapping the fields in the transformation
    dont map anythign to  ZPRICE_PREVIOUS as it is already filled in teh start routine from the above  code.Leave it unmapped.
    The below mapping is normally maintained without change..
    price  -
    > ZPRICE_CURRENT
    If you find this to be useful ..please do the needful (points)

    Bad idea.
    What information do you want to share, exactly?  You can share contacts, reminders, and calendars with other iCloud users without the need for both of you to use the same iCloud account.  You can authorize both phones to use apps purchased under the same Apple ID without sharing an iCloud account.
    Sharing an iCloud account is a bad idea in general. There is too much opportunity for someone to damage or delete data that will affect both.

  • How can i achieve Outerjoin type of results using Reports Datalink option

    Hi,
    i am developing a Oracle Report. i am using Datalink to maintain parent-child relationship between 2 queries. If no matching value found then i want to return 0 Records. how to achieve this.
    Ex: I have 2 tables like Dept & EMP
    DEPT has 2 rows HR and FINANCE
    I have only one employee in HR and no employee in FINANCE.
    I am using the below datalink properties:
    SQL clause : WHERE
    CONDITION ; =
    PARENT GROUP: DEPT
    PARENT Column : DEPTID
    CHILD QUERY : EMP
    CHILD Column : DEPTID.
    In the report it is showing matching columns without any issues> i want non matching columns also with Zero employess like
    HR     1
    FINANCE 0
    I need OUTER JOIN kind of thing. How can i achieve this. Just i have written one example. I have very complex query to implement this and datalink is absolutely necessry for me. Any help please.

    Following can be checked in order to return column value from child Group to Parent Group at data modal.
    a. create a PlaceHolder column ( say CP_1 and CP_2) at parent Group.
    b. create one Formula column at each Child group ( say cf_1 and cf_2 )
    c. write code at formula to return reg_emp as ( say for cf_1)
    srw.reference(:cp_1);
    :cp_1 := :rep_emp;
    for unreg_emp as
    srw.reference(:cp_2);
    :cp_2 := :unreg_emp;
    .. this way now reg_emp and unreg_emp counts can be made available to parent Group.
    To get a difference and return "Yes" or "No" write formula column at Parent Group ..
    Create a Formula column ( say cf_3) at parent group
    write following
    begin
    if :cp_1 = :cp_2 >0 then
    return 'Yes';
    else
    return 'No';
    end if;
    end;
    Now use this formula as source to show value at layout under Parent Repeating Frame.
    Hope this helps..

  • How can a Swing JWindow be resized without flickering?

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble trying to get a custom UI I have made based on JWindow to resize in an acceptable way due to the amount of flicker.
    The problem is described here:
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4324221/how-can-a-swing-jwindow-be-resized-without-flickering
    I have tried various attempts at (manual) double buffering but it seems that nothing can help with the fact that the top window's ComponentPeer is resizing the window and drawing it with a 'stale' view of the layout and then doing the new layout afterwards. This happens for me in Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux under Sun/Oracle Java 1.6.0_u22 (latest), and apparently in Windows 7 too.
    I am unsure if this is a bug, defect or is this way by design. I also notice that Netbeans suffers from the same issue on resizing but Eclipse does not. Does this mean that Swing is currently incapable of laying out/painting a top level Component to a back buffer before drawing to the screen? Does this affect/annoy anyone else?
    Or if not, any ideas how a smooth redraw can be achieved?
    I understand that this issue does not bother everyone, but for custom UIs like the one I am trying to achieve the result is not really acceptable.
    Any help much appreciated!

    Thanks that's an interesting approach, I think I may use...
    AWTUtilities.setWindowShape(jWindow, newshape)...on a JWindow set to be the same size as the entire desktop as I need the UI to remain in place whilst allowing mouse and key events to reach other applications.
    Does any one think it would be worth submtting a bug report or feature request for the desired behaviour?
    That is: getting top level (heavyweight) containers to layout and repaint into a back buffer, and provide this buffer to the underlying window manager during the resize so that 'stale' window layouts are not drawn to the screen during resizing. This is the way SWT appears to function and so should be possible in theory.
