Printing Control Commands!

Hi!
   I want to know that all sap script control commands work for smartform.
   eg. protect endprotect newline pagebreak etc..
   If no is how to fullfill in smartforms.
   Thanks

Hi,
IN Smartforms.. all these commands will work but the
way of using them is different.
for ex: if u want trigger a new page on certain condition..in scripts
            we use NEW-PAGE command but where as in Smartforms
            we create a COMMAND node in that we check the NEW PAGE
            option and give the page name that is to be triggered.
   That is one of the main difference between Smartfroms and Scripts.
   In scripts, we need to code every thing but in smartforms we have by default
   IF statement in scripts is similar to Alternative options..
   just we need to know how to use them.
Thanks
Dinakar.

Print-control commands for dotmatrix printer

dear all,
Here my requirement is we are using datamax printer ( dotmatrix printer) for printing script and i need some commands for that.
please reply soon.
thanx inadvance

Hi Don
Thank's for your reply.
That's excactly what we want to do: within the same report we'll use different trays and/or number of copies.
In the meantime, we talked to the manufacturer of the ELP module. They told us that the print stream contains parts of the correct sequence, but unfortunately the trailing two closing paranthesis are missing. For that reason, the command string is not recognized as valid command and is therefore printed "as is".
We tried to add additional characters after the trailing paranthesis, again no success...
The next step is to use the newer CR runtime, as Nikhil suggested in his answer.
Weird problem...

HI
GOOD
GO THROUGH THIS
A barcode solution consists of the following:
- a barcode printer
- a barcode reader
- a mobile data collection application/program
A barcode label is a special symbology to represent human readable information such as a material number or batch number
in machine readable format.
There are different symbologies for different applications and different industries. Luckily, you need not worry to much about that as the logistics supply chain has mostly standardized on 3 of 9 and 128 barcode symbologies - which all barcode readers support and which SAP support natively in it's printing protocols.
You can print barcodes from SAP by modifying an existing output form.
Behind every output form is a print program that collects all the data and then pass it to the form. The form contains the layout as well as the font, line and paragraph formats. These forms are designed using SAPScript (a very easy but frustratingly simplistic form format language) or SmartForms that is more of a graphical form design tool.
Barcodes are nothing more than a font definition and is part of the style sheet associated with a particular SAPScript form. The most important aspect is to place a parameter in the line of the form that points to the data element that you want to represent as barcode on the form, i.e. material number. Next you need to set the font for that parameter value to one of the supported barcode symbologies.
The next part of the equation can be a bit tricky as you will need to get a printer to print that barcode font. Regular laser printers does not normally print barcode fonts, only specialized industrial printers that is specifically designed to support that protocol and that uses specialized label media and heat transfer (resin) ribbon to create the sharp image required for barcodes.
Not to fear though, there are two ways to get around this:
- You can have your IT department do some research -
most laser printers can accept a font cartridge/dimm chip (similar to computer memory), called a BarDIMM that will allow a laser printer to support the printing of barcodes.
- Secondly, you can buy software that you can upload in your SAP print Server that will convert the barcode symbology as an image that will print on a regular laser printer. I found that this option results in less sharper barcodes. This option is really if you need to convert a large quantity of printers (>10) to support barcodes.
- Thirdly, you can buy a third party software like Barcode.dll and install on your frontend PC connected to the laser printer.
Now you have a barcode printed - what next?
Well there are two options, depending on your business requirements:
- You can use an existing SAP transaction on a regular workstation and get a barcode wedge reader to hook up between the keyboard and the PC. These wedge readers comes in a wand or scanner format. There are even wireless wedge scanners available that allows you to roam a few yards from the workstation to scan a label. This approach is mostly used where you want to prevent human errors in typing in long material, batch or serial numbers in receiving or issuing of material. The problem is that it's just replacing the keyboard input and you are basically locked down in one location and have to bring all the material to that location to process.
- Another solution is to use SAPConsole transactions
or write your own ABAP Dialog programs that will fit onto a barcode enabled wireless handheld terminal and that will follow the business logic as executed on the shop floor.
These programs are highly complex exercises in industrial engineering and ergonomics because of the limited screen sizes and limited ability to accept keyboard input. The user is instructed step-by-step and only scan and push F-keys to interact with the SAP system. Scan, scan, beep, beep, enter - highly automated.

How to deal with Print Controls in SAP SCRIPT

Hello All...
I have two requirement in SAP SCRIPT for which I will need to use PRINT CONTROLS.
1) To print a window with 90 degree rotation
2) In the same window I wanted to have black background and white text printed on it.
For rotating the text,
Primary basis I created two Z print controls using SPAD.
One to rotate with 90 and another to rotate with 0.
In SPAD I assigned \e&a90P and \e&a0P respectivaly in device type.
Now in sap script window I specified below commands...
/: PRINT-CONTROL Z90
= TEST
/: PRINT-CONTROL Z00
but in the SP01 the text is still printing Horizontally...
Also Is there any standard print controls which set backgroud to black for specific window.
and how to use that?
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Shweta

Hi,
Occassionally, when you make frequent changes to your SAPScript, the system can get out of sync.
When you view the form, the old data get display without your changes.
This can be fixed by deleting the SAPScript LOAD with program RSTXDELL.
Hope it helps.
Reward if helpful.

Sipra

PRINT-CONTROLS

hi Experts,
I'm having a SAPscript, in it i have a signatrue window. This window triggers a PRINT-CONTROL on some condition.
there is a transaction SPAD which gives us a list of existing PRINT-CONTROL.
when we view this PRINT-CONTROL i cannnot find it specification i.e. for what purpose it is used, what it impact to the output? like changes a outputs to specific font ..etc.
Where can i view the inner details of PRINT-CONTROL.
Thanks for the help.
Govind

Hi,
the print-controls are printer specific. Menas, U want the printer to print bold, so set up a print control for the printer typ sending him the printer sepcific commands to print in bold.
If you want to know what exactly the print-control means, you have to take the programming guide of the printer and to "decode" the print control into plain text...
Regards
Patrick

Space before Print-Control

Hi experts,
we are printing labels via SAP-Script.
In this SAP-Script we use print-controls, which we have to save into a datamatrix on the label (customer needs this at scan).
Therefore we have created print-controls (SPAD->Device Types) which following setup:
name = ZGS ; Direct ; Hexadecimal ; Value = "1D"
These are the sapscript lines, which saves the content (=test<PC>test2) into datamatrix (<> = format).
<* > test
</: > PRINT-CONTROL ZGS
<= > test2
(there are no spaces after test and test2)
Our big problem is, that there is a space BEFORE the print-control.
content sould be = "test<PC>test2" (without space)
content is = "test <PC>test2" (space betweend test and <PC>
Any ideas, how I can avoid the space BEFORE the print-control?
(space between PRINT-CONTROL and ZGS has to be! Otherwise command does not run.
Thx for any help

Hi,
thx for the fast help.
I've also tried an other editor - no spaces in sap-script.
I already found out, that space is appended to the text when a PC is followed.
And this only happens, when PC follows. If a text follows a text, there are no spaces appended.
I've already sent an OSS-request.
I will update this forum after the answer from SAP.
Solution with concatinating PC into text, is also my last hope.
But I would like to know the answer from SAP.

Printer control in smartform

I'm trying to use a command in a smartform to set a printer control. What I do is:
- I choose the node containing the text I want to alter. In this case it's the MAIN window.
- I right-click on it and I select create->flow logic->command
- In the general properties tab, in the input field for printer control, I choose some control.
- I print (I'm using LOCL printer).
The text remains unchanged. What I'm getting wrong?
Thank you in advance.

If you defined the Printer control in TCODE SPAD then you can use the following Coding before the Text to be displayed
PRINT-CONTROL <Printer control Name>.
<TEXT>

Problem with SAP Script (Control Commands)

Dear friends,
I am facing one problem withg control commands. When i use PROTECT.....ENDPROTECT with VAR type window then it is not working instead i use with MAIN type window it is working fine. Another problem with BOX command when i use with MAIN type window then it is not working but when i use with VAR type window then it is working fine. SO i am little bit confused that is there any relation between control commands and window type?
THanks & Regards,
Bhavin

Hi,
There is no restriction to use any control commands on any windows.
The SAP doesnt give any error, but the point of using Protect Endprotect in windows other than main window doesnt apply.
Only main window carries from one page to another. So in order to print certain lines in a single page we use this control command.
Regarding BOX command it works fine on any window.
Thanks and Regards.

Hi Vinayak,
Just use the command PRINT-CONTROL CPI <characters per inch> and PRINT-CONTROL FONT <fontname> to switch from CPI and Font wherever you like.

Printer control codes

Anyone know where to get printer control codes for an HP Laserjet printer? Back in the old days of dot matrix printers, the manuals always had tables for ASCII, HEX or IBM, etc control codes. I have some old "Basic" software that I want to imbed printer commands to do things like expanded print, bold print, etc.

A table of simple PCL commands is available here.

Control Command

What are control commands in SAP Scripts?

Preeti,
Control Command Purpose:
The purpose of these is to allow control of the output formatting. These commands are not interpreted by the SAPscript editor, but are passed through to the SAPscript Composer for processing. The Composer is the program that converts text from the form displayed in the editor to the form used for printing. This includes, for example, line and page formatting, the replacement of symbols with their current values and the formatting of text according to the paragraph and character formats specified.
The SAPscript control commands are described in the following sections.
Syntax of Control Commands
Explicit Page Break: NEW-PAGE
Preventing Page Breaks: PROTECT
Next Main Window: NEW-WINDOW
Assigning a Value to a Text Symbol: DEFINE
Formatting Date Fields: SET DATE MASK
Formatting Time Fields: SET TIME MASK
Country-Dependent Formatting: SET COUNTRY
Position of the Leading Sign: SET SIGN
Initializing Numbered Paragraphs: RESET
Including Other Texts: INCLUDE
Changing the Style: STYLE
Formatting Addresses: ADDRESS
Setting a Header Text in the Main Window: TOP
Setting a Footer Text in the Main Window: BOTTOM
Conditional Text: IF
Finding a Match: CASE
Calling ABAP Subroutines: PERFORM
Inserting Print Controls: PRINT-CONTROL
Boxes, Lines, Shading: BOX, POSITION, SIZE
Hexadecimal Data: HEX, ENDHEX
Summing a Program Symbol: SUMMING

Sending printer control characters to a printer

I would like to send printer control characters to a printer/plotter. Does anyone have any information or thoughts on how this could be accomplished? For example, I would like to send the printer reset sequence ([esc] E). Is this possible?
Thank You,
Bob

Hi bgblair !!
I�ve done this some time ago...
Here is like i did it:
char esc[] = new char[]{27};//The escape-character
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();//Stringbuffer to app. the whole doc. or pcl-commands
buff.append(""+esc);
....OK...
After i�ve filled the buf i put it into a File and sent it to the printer.
This worked fine for me !!
