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.
? 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.
The diffetent Output areas of main window are
                                                                  TOP
                                                                  BODY
                                                                  BOTTOM
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.

Regarding Number of MAIN Windows in SAP Script.

Hi,
SAP Script allows to place a maximum of 99 MAIN Windows. Is it possible to have different content in different MAIN Windows i.e., if i have 2 MAIN Windows in SAP Script with numbers 00 and 01 can i have different contents in these two windows. If possible please give us an example for the same.
Thanks in advance for your esteemed help.
Regards,
Raghavendra Goutham.

HI All,
Thanks for your esteemed replies.
But i want to frame my question exactly.
In my script there are two main windows with number
MAIN 00 and MAIN 01.
MAIN 00
Content:
/E data
abc,,def
In MAIN 01 i want to have only XYZ, some thing like this
MAIN 01
/E total
XYZ
My problem is: whenever i am changing the content in MAIN 01, the content in MAIN 00 is also getting changed.
I do not want this to change, i want different content in both of them. Is this possibel if so how.
Thanks and Regards,
Raghavendra Goutham.

Create a total window and place it after your main window, get the number of lines in your main window and place counter
Ex,&SAPSCRIPT-COUNTER_1(+)&,
IF SAPSCRIPT-COUNTER_1& EQ <number of lines in main window>
**print total
ENDIF.

I want to change a logo in Window in SAP Script, but the window type is Graphical, hence it is not editable.

Variable window in SAP script

Hello Friends,
I have a problem in SAP scripts while printing an internal table data in to a variable window. It is overwriting the contents.
Ex:
In my internal table (itab) with only one filed (text) have the below data.
Firt line
second line
third line
fourth line
I am looping the internal table and within the loop I am calling the write form.
In script I am writing like below
&itab-text&
In the output I am getting only last line.
Output:
fourth line.
But I need to print all lines one by one.
Please help me.
Regards.
Krishna.

You can't print internal table data in Variable window, you have to print them in Main window
The function module WRITE_FORM_LINES allows multiple lines to be APPENDED to a non-main window. You should note that the text lines must have the SAPscript ITF format. In the absence of other information, the system uses identically named formatting attributes (character and paragraph formats) of the form to format the content of the text lines.
Here is an approach which allows multiple records / lines to be output in a variable window.
If you transfer your information from the internal table into the text lines, complete with appropriate formatting symbols, you will find that the text lines are output nicely formatted in your non-Main window.
loop at internal table into WCSCATALOG.
clear tline.
tline-tdformat = 'S1'.
concatenate '<B>' WCSCATALOG-CODEX '</> ,, ' WCSCATALOG-STXT into ltline-tdline.
append tline to tlines.
endloop.
call function 'WRITE_FORM_LINES'

Costant Window in SAP Script

Hi
i have copied a already existing sap Script(both layout SE71 and Print program Se38) in our Script but for that i am not doing any changes in Print program.
for any changes in my layout(se71) i create Perform ,and put form for that in a Subroutine pool.
but due to some requirement i have to create 2 constant window in my layout,but i am not writing any code to call that window in the print program. therefore that window are not showing in printing test.
i want to ask , there is a way to call these constant windows without not adding any code for this in prin program.
regards
Atul

Hi Atul ,
Since you want a constant window on all your pages .Try this!
1. Create a variable window .(with same measurements of tht of your constant window)
2. Call it every time you call new page , this will reduce the overhead too .
3. Adjust your page and make space for this window .
4. You need not change the text but just adding an additional window .
Hope it helps!
Much Regards ,
Amuktha .

Box inside Main window issue in Scripts

I have issue in placing a box inside the main window. I would like to display text with a box frame at end of the line items.
I tried creating seperate FOOTER window in the Last page, but it dint work as expected, since if the line items ended in the first page then the LAST page did not trigger and one more complication was if there were 4 pages, then there was blank window (FOOTER) in 2 pages and it looks ugly.
I tried putting the box frame by using text element, calling after the end of the line items. The text displayed as needed, but the frame was misaligned.
Kindly help me. Thanks in advance.
Have a great weekend.

Raj,
Try to find out which text element is trigerring after the line items text element while debuging the script and then place the box code in that text element.
regards.
