Reg paragraph formant and character format

Hi All,
How to assign particular paragraph formant and character formant for a particular text node that I have created.I know how to create paragraph formats and characters using smartstyles and also I assigned this smartstyle in my smartform to that particular text node,but I am not getting where do I select the paragraph format and character format to assign it to the text node?could you please suggest some body how to do this?
Regards
Mahesh

Select the text you have written in the created text element and on top of the text only there is an option for Paragraph and character formats which will give you the dropdown list with all the paragraphs and character formats u have created. choose the desired one and it will reflect..
OR alternately you can go to the editor and wite the code as in SAP SCRIPTS by providing the Paragraph name or Character name urself.

Smartforms/Smartstyle How to create/upload paragraph and character formats

Hi Folks,
I am working on a demo IDES system. In my ECC 6.0 system, the paragraph formats were not included. How can import or include or create or upload paragraph and character formats in order to create smartforms and smartstyles.
Waiting for your answer................
Thanks,

If you Ran Smartstyles T-code and from Utilities you should got all information how to do all these activities.

About paragraph and character format

If You define paragraph and character formats what will be overwriting which
           one?

If you ude both chatacter and paragraph format to print a variable... character format will override paragraph format.
Ex, AS --> Paragraph format   Font size 10 Font family : HELVE
      CH --> character format    Font size 8
Now, PS <CH> HELLO </>
It will be of font family of HELVE and with font size of 8.
I hope it is clear for you now.

Paragraph format and character format in script

hi expects,
what is the difference between paragraph format and character format in script?

Hi Rohit,
Paragraph formats control the formatting of paragraphs in SAPscript whereas Character formats are used for text formatting within paragraphs.
Character formats will have Standard attributes like Bold, Italic, Underline, Font family, Font size etc.
Paragraph formats will standard attributes of Character formats and in addition to this, they will margins, Indents, tabs, Alignments, Line spacing and delimeters.

Why do units of measurement in paragraph tab and character tab differ?

Why do units of measurement in paragraph tab and character tab differ?
In Indesign CC 2014.1 when I set the units for type to be in points and all other measurements apart from strokes to be in mm, why are the units for the paragraph tab also in mm?
In both Photoshop CC and Illustrator CC, whatever units you assign for type also are used for the paragraph settings, which makes sense.
I want everything to do with type to be in points and pretty much everything else in mm, yet the only way I can have the paragraph tab units as points is for all measurements to be in points!
Does this sound right or is something wrong with my Indesign?
Thanks

Ok guys I see. I just wondered why InDesign differed to both Photoshop and Illustrator in this respect.

They are made by Adobe, and Adobe has different teams for different applications.
Sometimes the same feature in multiple applications is designed slightly differently than the way other teams would handle it.
This may be down to:
Time constraints to get the feature in - compared to other top priority items
Having to make a decision on whether to do it one way or another way - 50/50 type thing
Due to the limitations of how the program was designed and how the feature ties in with other features etc.
And many many more programming reasons. It may be the guy doing the photoshop changes wasn't as well versed in typography needs as the indesign guy.
Who knows - but there are differences in lots of areas between all apps.

Problem with paragraph style overrides and character formatting

I've had this problem for a long time, and sometimes it resolves itself, sometimes it doesn't. Finally I'm begging for help.
I am typesetting academic articles into a journal. We use endnotes. The endnotes have both italic and regular formatting--italics for book and journal titles, and foreign phrases.
Sometimes when I place the text, the formatting reverts to whatever it was in Word. To try to fix that, I've begun stripping the Word formatting from the original document, making everything "Courier New" and just importing it like that. I figured this would clear a lot of the problems I've had with fiddly formatting issues.
I was mistaken.
Here is what happens:
When I place the document it comes up in the original Courier New font, with italics and other formatting intact. If I click "article style" which is the main article paragraph style format, normally it changes. but if I right click and select "apply article style" it is more likely to change the paragraph to the proper style, with italics and other formatting still intact.
But when it gets to endnotes, I'm sort of screwed.
My endnotes style is a bulletted style, so that I can have the endnote numbers consistent. but this seems to screw all the style formatting.
Here is what I do:
With the cursor in endnote text, I click "bulleted endnote style". The character format remains the same, with a + beside the style. The endnote number format is different, however. If I click "clear overrides" it does in fact change to the proper formatting, but it strips any italics or other character in the text. This is frustrating because many of these endnotes have lots of italicized journal and book titles, and it takes a long time to figure out which ones I need to reitalicize manually.
I have tried to use the "customize style import>Style mapping" but it has not fixed anything.
Please help me figure out how to make these transitions more smoothly. I am open to suggestions both on how to make the changes once the document is placed in the Indesign file, and also making modifications to formats in the native Word file so that I don't have these problems.
Thanks
Dan

Sorry, that last message wasn't supposed to send (if that's not obvious!). I was writing it and got interrupted. Damn iphone.
I know why there are two numbers. This is not an issue. What I didn't finish writing was that, the note number before i bullet it is a different font/ format. Again, not a problem. Here is something interesting, though. If I delete that original number by placing the cursor in the middle of it (say a between the 4 and 2 of 42) then delete everything by Shift+arrow forward, press delete then delete the rest of the unnecessary characters, THEN apply the style formatting, it works just fine. Is it something to do with the character codes of those original note numbers?
Word drops in so many hidden codes that it screws everything up!

Problems with Forms and character encoding

I'm having problems trying to read unicode data inputted into a Form on my JSP page.
I've used the meta tag <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> to set the charset of the page to UTF-8. I've inputted some chinese characters inot my form and when I try to read the subsequent request parameter in my servlet using request.getParameter() the string returned is this
"来源" which is the escape sequence required by HTML to display these characters.
From what I've read on the subject this doesn't seem like the expected value. I've tried other ways of getting the correct string value such as setting the character encoding request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8") and then converting the bytes using this encoding value but it doesn't seem to work.
I could write a method to split up the string using the ; as a token and working out the correct unicode character but this doesn't seem like the right thing to do.
Any help on how to pass the correct information from the Form in the JSP page to the servlet would be greatly appreciated

I don't believe that is correct, but if it's returning HTML escapes instead of URL Encoded characters, then it's the browser doing it. This is my test page for playing with Chinese...
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" %>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>

String str = "\u7528\u6237\u540d";
String name = request.getParameter("name");

Reg: Smart forms and print programs

Hi
I would like to locate the print programs and the corresponding smart forms. say for invoice we have a smart form available and how to track the print program for it. pls advise.

Prabhu

Hi Prabhu,
You can track the Program through mainintaing table TNAPR. TNAPR is the table which is having entries for "Processing Programs for output".
Here you have fields like
pgnam - Program Name
sform - Smartform Name
fonam - Script Name
kschl - Output type
Here,You can maintain form against a program name.
Hope you are clear.

Problem with paragraph and character style

Recently I have noticed that when I alter a paragraph or character style that the text won't change to the changes I performed.
It doesn't matter whether it's just the preview mode or when I clicked "OK"- no changes will be performed whether it be typeface or size.
Does anyone know what can be wrong?

My bet is that you haven't got a clear understanding of the difference between character styles and paragraph styles, and that you are using the former incorrectly.
Paragraph styles include basic font formatting information that is applied to all text in a paragraph UNLESS that text also has either a character style or a local format override (select the text and change something) applied. The formatting heirarchy works with paragraph style at the bottom, character styles trump formatting applied in the paragraph style, and local formatting trums everything else.
Select the text in question. Look in the the Paragraph Style field in the Control panel, or open the Paragraph Styles panel to see what is applied. If there is a plus sign next to the name local formatting overrides have been applied (hold the Alt or Opt key and click the style name to remove them), but character styles are not considered overrides, so if there is no plus sign, check the Character Style field in the control panel or ope the Character Styles panel to check if any character styles are also applied.

Dynamic character format in SMARTFORMS

Dear Gurus,
I want to make a dynamic character format in smartforms. I did it in SAPscript and success.
what I did in program before passing to smartform :
d_note = '<XX> dynamic text </>'
and pass it to SAPscript and smartforms :
&d_note&
in SAPscript I made new character format XX as BOLD and UNDERLINED. it works for SAPscript. the output become = dynamic txt
unfortunately when I do this in smartforms, it is a fail although I have set new character format XX as bold and underline in smartstyles. the output become = <XX> dynamic text </>
any guru has a solution for this smartform?

Hi Sendy,
You cant use tags (eg- <XX>) in smartfomrs like you did in sap scripts. Use your style in the smartform( form attributes) with all character formats and paragraph formats which you need. When you create a new text module in the smartform you will get two drop down lists for the paragraph formats and character formats in the top of the editor. Type your text there and highlight then choose 'XX'(or any other character format) character format from the drop down list.
Hope this would help.
Cheers,
Jeewana

Purchase order smart forms and scripts

i need to create a smart form and script in simple purchase order there is no requirements has given to me, can any one tell me in detail how i need to do and what are the procedures i need to follow, example code will be usefull and steps to build it.

Hi,
Go through the links mentioned below.

Re: Hands on SAP Smart Forms
smartforms
A Simple Smartform Tutorial
SAP Smartforms can be used for creating and maintaining forms for mass printing in SAP Systems. The output medium for Smartforms support printer, fax, e-mail, or the Internet (by using the generated XML output).
According to SAP, you need neither have any programming knowledge nor use a Script language to adapt standard forms. However, basic ABAP programming skills are required only in special cases (for example, to call a function module you created or for complex and extensive conditions).
1. Create a new smartforms
Transaction code SMARTFORMS
Create new smartforms call ZSMART
2. Define looping process for internal table
Pages and windows
First Page -> Header Window (Cursor at First Page then click Edit -> Node -> Create)
Here, you can specify your title and page numbering
&SFSY-PAGE& (Page 1) of &SFSY-FORMPAGES(Z4.0)& (Total Page)
Main windows -> TABLE -> DATA
In the Loop section, tick Internal table and fill in
ITAB1 (table in ABAP SMARTFORM calling function) INTO ITAB2
3. Define table in smartforms
Global settings :
Form interface
Variable name Type assignment Reference type
ITAB1 TYPE Table Structure
Global definitions
Variable name Type assignment Reference type
ITAB2 TYPE Table Structure
4. To display the data in the form
Make used of the Table Painter and declare the Line Type in Tabstrips Table
e.g. HD_GEN for printing header details,
IT_GEN for printing data details.
You have to specify the Line Type in your Text elements in the Tabstrips Output options.
Tick the New Line and specify the Line Type for outputting the data.
Declare your output fields in Text elements
Tabstrips - Output Options
For different fonts use this Style : IDWTCERTSTYLE
For Quantity or Amout you can used this variable &GS_ITAB-AMOUNT(12.2)&
5. Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program
REPORT ZSMARTFORM.
Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program.
Collecting all the table data in your program, and pass once to SMARTFORMS
SMARTFORMS
Declare your table type in :-
Global Settings -> Form Interface
Global Definintions -> Global Data
Main Window -> Table -> DATA
Written by : SAP Hints and Tips on Configuration and ABAP/4 Programming
http://sapr3.tripod.com

Additional Fonts for your SMARTFORMS
You can create additional fonts and style with transaction SMARTSTYLES
This can then be define in the paragraph and character formats, which you can then be assign to texts and fields in the Smart Form.
The character formats includes effects such as superscript, subscript, barcode and font attributes.
Also, you can refer to the below link for the explanation:

The types defined here will be global through the entire smartform.
Also the form routines can be defined Global Settings->Global Definitions->Form Routines
I have defined my own Program Lines, where I have used a global variable G_TEXT. I get an error G_TEXT is not defined?
Whenever using the global variables in the Program Lines, enter the variable name in Input Parameters if you are going to use(read) the variable. If you are going to both read/write the variable value enter the same in Output Parameters.
I have created a table node for display. Where can I check the condition which must satisfy to display the table?
The conditions can be defined in the Conditions tab. In smartforms all the nodes have a condition tab where you can specify the condition to be satisfied to access the node.
How can I define Page Protect in Smartforms?
To define Page Protect for a node go to the Output options and check the Page Protection checkbox.
What is the difference between Template and Table in Smartforms?
The Template contains a fixed number of rows and columns, where the output is fixed.
The Table can have variable number of rows
Where can I define the paragraph and character format for the smartforms?

Select Vendors character format only from LFA1

hi ,
I have an internal Table with 53,890 vendors in first column.
the others columns contains vendor descirptions and their address.
for e,g say i have records in my internal table as follows.
     LIFNR
1)   0000001109
2)   0000001111
3)   0000005581
4)   E-115174
5)   E-115175
6)   E-115176
7)   E-115177
8)   MR84
9)   MR85
10) MR86
now i want to delete records starting from 1 to 3 as they are number format
but i don't want to delete records from 4 to 10 as they are character format.
i can do that deletion based on number and character formats
using the below code.
*Final Table for Diplsay of Vendors
    LOOP AT t_lfa1 INTO wa_lfa1.
      CALL FUNCTION 'NUMERIC_CHECK'
        EXPORTING
          string_in = wa_lfa1-lifnr
        IMPORTING
          htype     = w_type.
      IF w_type = 'NUMC'.
        DELETE t_lfa1 WHERE lifnr = wa_lfa1-lifnr.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
the above code fulfills my requirement but it takes lot of time when moved for testing since there are
53,890 records and DELETE will always increases the index cost and performance problem comes.
My requirement is there any condition we can put in my SELECT syntax where in i can select only
those records in character format

Hi Murali
I don't think that you can do anything in select query for this, instead enhance your current code.
1. For loop, use a field symbol, This will enhance your loop performance as the overhead to copy values into a work area is reduced.
2. Add another field of type CHAR 1 (let's say NUM_CHECK) to declaration of T_LFA1. If you find the vendor as numeric then set this field to X in loop. Do not delete anything in loop.
3) After loop, use DELETE T_LFA1 WHERE NUM_CHECK = 'X'.
This will take lesser time.
Thanks

HI,
     Declare another internal table and append the record to that internal table instead of deleting regenerating index. Once your other internal table filled clear the contents of the first internal table. see below the sample code, this might help you.
TYPES : BEGIN OF ty_lfa1,
         lifnr TYPE lfa1-lifnr,
        END OF ty_lfa1.
DATA : it_lfa1 TYPE TABLE OF ty_lfa1,
       it_lfa2 TYPE TABLE OF ty_lfa1,
        wa_lfa1 TYPE ty_lfa1.
DATA : w_lifnr TYPE lfa1-lifnr,
       w_type TYPE dd01v-datatype.
LOOP AT it_lfa1 INTO wa_lfa1.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_OUTPUT'
    EXPORTING
      input = wa_lfa1-lifnr
    IMPORTING
      output = wa_lfa1-lifnr.
CALL FUNCTION 'NUMERIC_CHECK'
    EXPORTING
      string_in = wa_lfa1-lifnr
    IMPORTING
      htype     = w_type.
IF w_type NE 'NUMC'.
    APPEND wa_lfa1 TO it_lfa2.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
FREE it_lfa1.
BREAK-POINT.
