Hi,
For 4.7 version if you are using tables, there are two options for protection against line break:
- You can protect a line type against page break.
- You can protect several table lines against page break for output in the main area.
Protection against page break for line types
- Double-click on your table node and choose the Table tab page.
- Switch to the detail view by choosing the Details pushbutton.
- Set the Protection against page break checkbox in the table for the relevant line type. Table lines that use this line type are output on one page.
Protection against page break for several table lines
- Expand the main area of your table node in the navigation tree.
- Insert a file node for the table lines to be protected in the main area.
- If you have already created table lines in the main area, you can put the lines that you want to protect again page break under the file using Drag&Drop. Otherwise, create the table lines as subnodes of the file.
- Choose the Output Options tab page of the file node and set the Page Protection option. All table lines that are in the file with the Page Protection option set are output on one page.
In 4.6, Alternatively in a paragraph format use the Page protection attribute to determine whether or not to display a paragraph completely on one page. Mark it if you want to avoid that a paragraph is split up by a page break. If on the current page (only in the main window) there is not enough space left for the paragraph, the entire paragraph appears on the next page.

PROTECT-ENDPROTECT problem in SAP Script

In SAP Script MAIN Window I have 10 different elements to print differet stuff related with each delivery line item.
Like Material Number
Material Description
Long text [Has formatted text and I am reading that text and printed in some format some lines under material number and some under materail desc.]
and other information required by client.
Loop at Delivery item table.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONTROL_FORM'
       EXPORTING
            command = 'PROTECT'.
Print differnt elements.
Loop at lond text internal table.
print in proper format as I mentioned.
endloop.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONTROL_FORM'
       EXPORTING
            command = 'ENDPROTECT'.
ENDLOOP.
My problem is PROTECT ENDPROTECT is not working properly.
It is printing only 1 item with other info on first page as there are enough space left to print minimum three items with details.
on next page it is priting only 3-4 items as there are enough sapce to ptint at lease 10 items with details.
The only good thing is it is not spliting the Item details and other text.[Main window on next page has bigger size]
Any idea why PROTECT - ENDPOTECT not behaving properly.
Thanks
Aman

Hello,
Try to do like, Put PROTECT and ENDPROTECT in the SAPScript itself.
Like
Element 1
Protect
..matnr....
element 2
...desc....
element 3 (long text)
...text
....text
element 4
endprotect
call the element 4 in the loop statment, whenever required.
Hope it will work.

Protect-Endprotect Command

Hoz exactly we use Protect-EndProtect command to avoide output text which should not spilt in two pages. Plz explain with example of Codes.
Thanks.

Hi
It is used to protect the address or info to print in one page only
If the space in one page is not sufficient it will print in the second page
see the sample
/:           PROTECT
/:           ADDRESS PARAGRAPH AS
/:             TITLE    &LFA1-ANRED&

Usage of protect endprotect in smartforms

To control the Paragraph in a page we use protect endprotect in SAP SCRIPT. how to go about it in smartorms

Syntax:
/: PROTECT
/: ENDPROTECT
The lines to be protected lie between the two commands.
An ENDPROTECT command without a preceding PROTECT command is ineffective.
If the last ENDPROTECT is missing, it is implicitly assumed at the end of the text.
PROTECT .. ENDPROTECT commands cannot be nested. If a second PROTECT command is recognized while another is active, the second is ignored.
If the text between PROTECT and ENDPROTECT is so extensive that it would not fit on an empty page, then only one form feed is generated and the text is normally output. Thus, in this case, the section to be protected is separated by a page break.

PROTECT-ENDPROTECT IN SAP SCRIPT

HOW DO WE USE PROTECT-ENDPROTECT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE OUTPUT DISPLAYED IN A VARIABLE WINDOW IS EITHER COMPLETE OR NOT PRINTED AT ALL.

Check this Documentation,
I have this full document if you want i will mail you..
PROTECT: Protect from page break
You can determine that a paragraph must not be separated by a page break in the style or layout set. If the attribute page protection is set, then all the lines of this paragraph are always output together on one page. This attribute is linked to the respective paragraph.
It certainly does not make sense, to provide all the paragraphs with a page protection attribute to neutralize an unwanted page break. This event is much too dynamic for this and only results from the current text. Furthermore, it can also happen that you only want to protect parts of a paragraph from a page break. In principle, you could solve this problem using the command NEW-PAGE, by explicitly starting a new page before the affected parts of the text. However, this procedure is not very easy to make changes to. Assume that you have formatted your text using the NEW-PAGE command so that you have no unwanted
page breaks. If you now insert new lines or delete existing ones, you would have to check all the NEW-PAGE commands inserted after this point in the text, as changes can result in the movement of page breaks. With the command pair PROTECT. ENDPROTECT, SAPscript offers you the option of individually defining protection from a page break. If you parenthesize the text in question using these commands, SAPscript automatically guarantees that all the lines it contains are printed together on one page. If the lines fit on the current output page, they are output there, in exactly the same way as if the PROTECT
command was not used. If, however, the space is not sufficient, the PROTECT command then works as a NEW-PAGE and generates a form feed .For this reason, you can view PROTECT/ENDPROTECT as a conditional NEW-PAGE command, whose condition consists of whether the included lines fit into the current window MAIN or not.

What is PROTECT ENDPROTECT in SAPscript?

Hi SDN,
What is the significance of Protect & End-protect in Sapscripts?
Regards,
Rahul.

To allow you to define the areas to be protected against a page break on an individual basis, SAPscript provides the PROTECT.. ENDPROTECT command pair. If you enclose the text to be protected in these commands, then SAPscript will ensure that each line of this text is printed together on the same page. If the complete text fits in the space remaining on the current page, then it is printed on this page just as it would be if no PROTECT command had been used. If, however, the remaining space is not sufficient for the text, then the PROTECT command has the same effect as a NEW-PAGE command and text is printed on a new page.
Thus the PROTECT/ENDPROTECT commands may be regarded as a kind of conditional NEW-PAGE command, the condition being whether or not the lines enclosed between the two commands fit in the space remaining in the current main window.
Syntax:
/: PROTECT
/: ENDPROTECT
The text lines to be protected are enclosed between the two commands.
An ENDPROTECT command without a preceding PROTECT command has no effect.
If the terminating ENDPROTECT is missing, SAPscript assumes it at the end of the text.
PROTECT.. ENDPROTECT command pairs cannot be nested. If a second PROTECT command occurs before the first one has been terminated by an ENDPROTECT, it is ignored.
If the text enclosed by a PROTECT.. ENDPROTECT pair is itself too long for a single page, then a page break is generated immediately before the text and the text is printed in the normal way. It is then unavoidable that a page break will occur at some point within the text.

Override Use of Protect-Endprotect Function when editing Standard Sapscript

Hi abapers,
I have made a copy of a standard form (F150_DUNN_01) and edited it according to the customers needs. One problem I have encountered is the use of seperate elements, As you can see in the standard form, the table is output as one element and the total appears afterwards in another element. As I am not editing the print control program I have added texts, etc. after the totals line but inside elements which I know are always output. I have recently noticed that some of the elements are protected using the 'CONTROL_FORM' function in the print control program.
This leads me to the problem, when I have between 10-15 records in the table the following elements (540 - 592) are printed on the following page. I have read about the protect-endprotect statements but in my case it would be between 2 elements.
I would like the totals line to appear along with the table and the rest can go on the next page. Is it possible to use this method without editing the print control prorgam to call elements without protection? Elements 581 - 592 are currently protected using the 'CONTROL_FORM' function in the print program.
Here is a snippet of the MAIN window with some PROTECT statements used but not working as expected.

Hi Vijay,
Thanks for reply but it isn't work.
I think there is no documentaion available in any languagein the SAP.
So If possible give me any other reference by which I can search documentation.
Or just check it at your end if available send it to me.
Please try once again.
I wnat documentation for function modules in the Function Group MBWL & J1IEXGM.
both are used for MIGO.

Hi Jaipal,
It is mainly used to prevent the page break
menas whatever lines you wrote between these protect and endprotect they are always printed in a single page only and they won't split into two pages though there is no full space
go to SE71 see any scripts pagewindows
you will find a lot of examples
/E           TOTAL_AMOUNT
/:           PROTECT
UL           &ULINE(71)&
TO

Hi Salini,
            For this Increase the length of the page. See below.
Determining the Page Length
To determine the page length of an output list, use the LINE-COUNTaddition of the REPORT statement.
Syntax
REPORT rep LINE-COUNT length[(n)].
This statement determines the page length of the output list of program rep as length lines. If you specify the optional number n, the system reserves n lines of the page length for the page footer. Those lines of the page footer that are not filled at the END-OF-PAGE event, appear as blank lines (see Defining a Page Footer).
If you set length to zero, the system uses the standard page length (see The Standard List). To adapt the page length to the current window size, see Lists with Several Pages. While the list is created, the system field SY-LINCT contains the current number of lines per page (that is length, or 0 for the standard page length).
Consider that the length of the page header is part of length. Thus, for the list itself you can use only length minus page header length minus n lines. If length is less than the page header length, a runtime error occurs.
If during list processing the system reaches the end of the area provided for the actual list, it outputs the page footer, if any, inserts some space, and starts a new page. The space inserted belongs to the list background and is not a line of the list. The sy-pagno system field always contains the current page number.

Md Ziauddin

Command similar to protect..endprotect in abap

Hi All
Is there any command similar to protect endprotect in abap list output so that salutation doesn't fragment over next page.
or any other logic that one can use for same?
For e.g.,
THANKING YOU
FOR XYZ COMPANY LTD,
AUTHORIZED SIGNATORY.
Regards
Babita

hi babita , try to use Reserve Key word for tht .
Here is the standard help on tht -
Basic form
RESERVE n LINES.
Effect
If there is not enough space left on the current page for at least n lines, this statement starts a new page. n can be a constant (1,2,3,...) or a variable.
Notes
Before starting a new page, the END-OF-PAGE processing is executed. This differs from NEW-PAGE.
If the RESERVE statement does not trigger a new page, output is continued on the current page.
Use BACK to return to the first line output after RESERVE.
Note
Performance:
The runtime required to execute a RESERVE statement is approx. 1 msn (standardized microseconds).
hope this will help.

How we will have more line of data using protect.. endprotect in main windo

I have a main window which can have 20 lines and I have paragraph which is of 23 lines, If I use Protect and Endprotect will the data display?(because the protect Endprotect will take whole paragraph in one page but here the paragraph is of 23 lines which cant fit in on window which is of 20 lines)

Hi
You have couple of options.
1) Either you can reduce the font size of the text (To say Courier, 8 Points)
2) Protect ... Endprotect is for displaying the text inside the block on the same page. Incase the page is geeting ended, then the text printing will not start on that page and will start from the next page to display the whole contents in a page (block).
3) Increase the page layout from A4 to Letter size if possible.
View the print preview, to make sure, all the text will come on the desired page as per your requirements.
Hope this will help.
Please reward suitable points.

Protect ..endprotect in loop

Hi
If u write
                     protect
                    protect
                   endprotect
                    endprotect
like this code in script what will happen?
In short if u write protect inside protect .. endprotect. will it work. what will happen?
Thanks In advance.

I have not tried that. logically no meaning in that format. Anyway the outer protect..endprotect will avoid a data split and so the inner protect..endprotect will be nullified.
Cheers

Need help regd SCRIPT PROTECT and ENDPROTECT

hi,
Actually 3 elements are written in between
CALL FUNCTION 'CONTROL_FORM'
EXPORTING
Command = 'PROTECT'
and
CALL FUNCTION 'CONTROL_FORM'
EXPORTING
Command = 'ENDPROTECT'
I am getting the data for which the page is not enough.In this case it is printing 85% of data in the second page and 15% of data in the 3rd page by skipping 1st one eventhough size of 1st page and 2nd page are equal.
Please suggest me what is happening here .
thanks
SAM

HI,
You can try out Protect-End protect directly in the form itself by /:.
If the data is enclosed in this way,
Protect
endprotect.
It is protected for this particular call of the window.
whereas,
ENDPROTECT
PROTECT
captures the data uptil the next call of the window.
This first scenario can be useful when you can estimate the amount of data you are printing and the later in random instances such as you want to print the details of flight pertaining to a Carrid to be existing on that page itself, it can be achieved using the second method, where the window is called for every change of carrid.
Try it out as per your requirement
Thanks and regards
