Usage of intensity in BOX command in Scripts

Hi all
How to set INTENSITY property to a particular box?
Except this syntax,
BOX XPOS 44 CH YPOS 2 CH HEIGHT '8.2' CH WIDTH 29 CH FRAME 3 TW iINTENSITY 12.
Because this statement is not fitting in a line.
Inorder to fit this statement in a single line i have used command line, line feed, extended line and continuous text.
Even though output is not getting displayed.
Please reply it soon...

Boxes, Lines, Shading: BOX, POSITION, SIZE
Use the BOX, POSITION, and SIZE commands for drawing boxes, lines, and shading to print particular windows within a form or passages of text within a window in a frame or with shading.
The SAP printer drivers that are based on page-oriented printers (the HP LaserJet driver HPL2, the Postscript driver POST, the Kyocera Prescribe driver PRES) employ these commands when printing. Line printers and page-oriented printers not supported in the standard ignore these commands. You can view the resulting printer output in the SAPscript print preview.
Syntax:
/: BOX [XPOS] [YPOS] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [FRAME] [INTENSITY]
/: POSITION [XORIGIN] [YORIGIN] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
/: SIZE [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
BOX Command
Syntax
/: BOX [XPOS] [YPOS] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [FRAME] [INTENSITY]
Effect: draws a box of the specified size at the specified position.
Parameters: For each of XPOS, YPOS, WIDTH, HEIGHT, and FRAME, you must specify both a measurement and a unit of measurement. Specify the INTENSITY parameter as a percentage between 0 and 100.
XPOS, YPOS
Upper left corner of the box, relative to the values of the POSITION command.
Default: Values specified in the POSITION command.
The following calculation is performed internally to determine the absolute output position of a box on the page:
X(abs) = XORIGIN + XPOS
Y(abs) = YORIGIN + YPOS
WIDTH
Width of the box. Default: WIDTH value of the SIZE command.
HEIGHT
Height of the box. Default: HEIGHT value of the SIZE command.
FRAME
Thickness of frame.
Default: 0 (no frame).
INTENSITY
Grayscale of box contents as %.
Default: 100 (full black)
Measurements: You must specify decimal numbers as literal values (like ABAP numeric constants) by enclosing them in inverted commas. Use the period as the decimal point character. See also the examples listed below.
Units of measurement: The following units of measurement may be used:
TW (twip)
PT (point)
IN (inch)
MM (millimeter)
CM (centimeter)
LN (line)
CH (character).
The following conversion factors apply:
1 TW = 1/20 PT
1 PT = 1/72 IN
1 IN = 2.54 CM
1 CM = 10 MM
1 CH = height of a character relative to the CPI specification in the form header
1 LN = height of a line relative to the LPI specification in the form header
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW
Draws a frame around the current window with a frame thickness of 10 TW (= 0.5 PT).
/: BOX INTENSITY 10
Fills the window background with shading having a gray scale of 10 %.
/: BOX HEIGHT 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
Draws a horizontal line across the complete top edge of the window.
/: BOX WIDTH 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
Draws a vertical line along the complete height of the left hand edge of the window.
/: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT 1 CM FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 15
/: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
/: BOX XPOS '10.0' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
/: BOX XPOS '13.5' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
Draws two rectangles and two lines to construct a table of three columns with a highlighted heading section.
POSITION Command
Syntax
/: POSITION [XORIGIN] [YORIGIN] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
Effect: Sets the origin for the coordinate system used by the XPOS and YPOS parameters of the BOX command. When a window is first started, the POSITION value is set to refer to the upper left corner of the window (default setting).
Parameters: If a parameter value does not have a leading sign, then its value is interpreted as an absolute value, in other words, as a value that specifies an offset from the upper left corner of the output page. If a parameter value is specified with a leading sign, then the new value of the parameter is calculated relative to the old value. If one of the parameter specifications is missing, then no change is made to this parameter.
XORIGIN, YORIGIN
Origin of the coordinate system.
WINDOW
Sets the values for the left and upper edges to match those of the current window (default setting).
PAGE
Sets the values for the left and upper edges to match those of the current output page (XORIGIN = 0 cm, YORIGIN = 0 cm).
/: POSITION WINDOW
Sets the origin for the coordinate system to the upper left corner of the window.
/: POSITION XORIGIN 2 CM YORIGIN '2.5 CM'
Sets the origin for the coordinate system to a point 2 cm from the left edge and 2.5 cm from the upper edge of the output page.
/: POSITION XORIGIN '-1.5' CM YORIGIN -1 CM
Shifts the origin for the coordinates 1.5 cm to the left and 1 cm up.
SIZE Command
Syntax
/: SIZE [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
Effect: Sets the values of the WIDTH and HEIGHT parameters used in the BOX command. When a window is first started, the SIZE value is set to the same values as the window itself (default setting).
Parameters: If one of the parameter specifications is missing, then no change is made to the current value of this parameter. If a parameter value does not have a leading sign, then its value is interpreted as an absolute value. If a parameter value is specified with a leading sign, then the new value of the parameter is calculated relative to the old value.
WIDTH, HEIGHT
Dimensions of the rectangle or line.
WINDOW
Sets the values for the width and height to the values of the current window (default setting).
PAGE
Sets the values for the width and height to the values of the current output page.
/: SIZE WINDOW
Sets WIDTH and HEIGHT to the current window dimensions.
/: SIZE WIDTH '3.5' CM HEIGHT '7.6' CM
Sets WIDTH to 3.5 cm and HEIGHT to 7.6 cm.
/: POSITION WINDOW
/: POSITION XORIGIN -20 TW YORIGIN -20 TW
/: SIZE WIDTH +40 TW HEIGHT +40 TW
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW
A frame is added to the current window. The edges of the frame extend beyond the edges of the window itself, so as to avoid obscuring the leading and trailing text characters.

Sap Script - putting dynamic height value in box command

Hello All,
In SAP scirpt I have to display a table which might have variable number of line items. So in box command I cannot mention the height statically.
Is it possible to specify that dynamically like by using a variable and incrementing it every time the element is called from the loop?
Thanks
Indrajit

no in SAP-SCRIPT this aint possible. But you could do this in an external perform, and have your incremented value back, tho since a external perform is beeing called from the form, the box statement might already have been interpreted.
this again would mean that this way wouldnt work as well then.

BOX command does not print vertical/horizontal lines in SAP Script

Dear all,
in sap script we are using the BOX command to draw some boxes. DUring the print preview, all the boxes look
just fine including horizontal and vertial lines. But, when we print the output, I get the output minus
the vertical lines and some horizontal lines.

Hi ,
I hava script in which i am supposed to print an internal table.
now. the script is designed in such a way that on first page the main window starts at line 17 of the page and on second page the main window starts at line no 7.
i ma printing my internal table in the main window. i am ussing box command to get a tabular look n feel . on first page the y pos of the box is set to 18 LN. n its gettin printed properly.
till first 15 records the data gets printed on first page but if the records in the internal table are more than 15 then then the output continues to second screen.
now while setting the ypos how should set the value? how exatly i am supposed to count the value to set for the y pos? when we say BOX ypos 7 LN dose it mean set ypos at line 7 from upword direction? n line of the window or line 7 of the page?

If one of the parameter specifications is missing, then no change is made to this parameter.
XORIGIN, YORIGIN
Origin of the coordinate system.
WINDOW
Sets the values for the left and upper edges to match those of the current window (default setting).
PAGE
Sets the values for the left and upper edges to match those of the current output page (XORIGIN = 0 cm, YORIGIN = 0 cm).
/: POSITION WINDOW
Sets the origin for the coordinate system to the upper left corner of the window.
/: POSITION XORIGIN 2 CM YORIGIN '2.5 CM'
Sets the origin for the coordinate system to a point 2 cm from the left edge and 2.5 cm from the upper edge of the output page.
/: POSITION XORIGIN '-1.5' CM YORIGIN -1 CM
Shifts the origin for the coordinates 1.5 cm to the left and 1 cm up.
SIZE Command
Syntax
/: SIZE [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [WINDOW] [PAGE]
Effect: Sets the values of the WIDTH and HEIGHT parameters used in the BOX command. When a window is first started, the SIZE value is set to the same values as the window itself (default setting).
Parameters: If one of the parameter specifications is missing, then no change is made to the current value of this parameter. If a parameter value does not have a leading sign, then its value is interpreted as an absolute value. If a parameter value is specified with a leading sign, then the new value of the parameter is calculated relative to the old value.
WIDTH, HEIGHT
Dimensions of the rectangle or line.
WINDOW
Sets the values for the width and height to the values of the current window (default setting).
PAGE
Sets the values for the width and height to the values of the current output page.
/: SIZE WINDOW
Sets WIDTH and HEIGHT to the current window dimensions.
/: SIZE WIDTH '3.5' CM HEIGHT '7.6' CM
Sets WIDTH to 3.5 cm and HEIGHT to 7.6 cm.
/: POSITION WINDOW
/: POSITION XORIGIN -20 TW YORIGIN -20 TW
/: SIZE WIDTH +40 TW HEIGHT +40 TW
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW
A frame is added to the current window. The edges of the frame extend beyond the edges of the window itself, so as to avoid obscuring the leading and trailing text characters.

Box in SAP Script

Hello All ,
This issue is driving me crazy . In the Layout there are three columns one is Material , 2nd one is Scanned and the 3rd one is Scanned By .
In the Print Preview there are no issues . But in the Actual Print , I am facing 2 issues : -
1 - A box is getting Printed for Scanned . There is no BOX command or anything in the Script . Where is this Box coming from ?
2 - I want the Box mentioned in Point 1 . But it is coming after Scanned By . That is , Under Scanned By , I have give line to write name like this
__________________ and the box is coming after this in the actual Print .
I am not able to figure out how the box is coming and how it is being positioned .
Can anyone please help me figure this out .
Rahul .

This was because there was <727> in the Script , from where the check box was getting printed .

Box in a scripts

Hi all,
I want create a box in a scripts what is the syntax for that. plz provide the syntax for that.
Thanks,
Surya.

Hi Surya,
Go through this info.
Setting default parameters for a box:
You can use the POSITION and SIZE commands to set default parmeters for a box.
Instead of:
/: BOX XPOS '11.21' MM YPOS '5.31' MM HEIGHT '10' MM WIDTH '20' MM INTENSITY 10 FRAME 0 TW
You can write:
/: POSITION XORIGIN '11.21' YORIGIN '5.31' MM
/: SIZE HEIGHT '2' MM WIDTH '76' MM
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 10
This can be usefull if you gave several boxes that share the same parameters.
If you want to set the position realtively to the window use POSITION WINDOW
to set the position to the top/left start of the window. Then use POSITION
to set the current position relatively to the start of the Window.
Note that you uses "+" or "-" in the ORIGIN position to the set the position relatively.
/: POSITION WINDOW
/: POSITION XORIGIN '5' MM YORIGIN '10' MM
the position is now 5 MM from the left and 10 MM from the top of the window
NOTE: After using the position command you can move the current position
realtively to the last used position
/: POSITION XORIGIN '10' MM YORIGIN '20' MM
Now the position will be X = 15 and Y = 30
Drawing a line. You can draw a line by setting the Height or Weidth to 0
and add a frane. E.g. a horizontal line:
/: SIZE HEIGHT '0' MM WIDTH '200' MM
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW XPOS '11.21' MM YPOS '14.81' MM INTENSITY 100
