Sap Scripts-printing the text in a single line

In Sap Scripts I would like to have my text in a single line. For that I have used the extended line (=) tag. But It is not working.
Can anyone help me how can I achieve this.
Actually how many characters I can put in a single line. I think it is 72. But my text is less than 72 characters.
Can anyone Please help me.

A Text Symbol in Script or Smartform can take lenght of Maximum 80 characters. Any thing more than that will be truncated even if the window is long enoguh to hold more than 80 characters. Si your character formated need to be have the PROTECTED option checked.
At Topic:
Try increasing the window size in lenght or width, If that is not possible pratically, you can try by decreasing the font size.

SAP Script: Printing the signature on main window at the end

Hi,
I am working on a SAP Script (Benefits enrollment form HR_BEN_ENRO). I copied the HR_BEN_ENRO into ZHR_BEN_ENRO and making the necessary changes without modifying the driver program.
The problem I am facing is as follows:
In the main window there are so many Text elements. At the end of the main window, after the last text element, I have put some text using Include statement. The last text element is getting triggered for some employees and hence the text underneeth that is printing, but for some employees the last element is not triggering and hence nothing is printing underneeth that.
Is there any solution to print the this text at the end of main window after printing all the remaining information.
I also tried using BOTTOM & ENDBOTTOM. But in this case I don't know how to check that I am in last page of the main window. I tried the following way:
/: BOTTOM
/: IF &PAGE& = SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES&
SIGNATURE:__________ Date:__________
/: ENDIF
/: ENDBOTTOM
In this case the value I am getting for &SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES& is 0 (zero).
Any solution..please.
Appreciate.

and so on
but I m getting it as
A1
A2
A3
A4.
Any solutions to this will be highly appreciated.

Dear vivek,
how is your work are structure - is it only with single field ?
In your script after the each value give an extended line comman "=" which will take first and second values for print and after the second value give "line feed" or "carriage return" command.
Hope this solves your problem

Trouble with auto size text in a single line form field

Hi. I'm having an issue with filling out a form in Adobe Reader on my iPad. The text field is single line. The font is set to "auto" so that the line of text will not exceed a certain width. When filling out this form on my laptop using Adobe Reader, it works fine. As I type additional text, once the field is filled, it shrinks the text font size. On my iPad, however, it won't let me type any more text in the field once I reach the end. Does Adobe Reader for iPad not support the "auto" font size in form fields? And I did check that my version of Adobe Reader is up to date on my iPad, so I do have the latest version.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Ashley

Actually, nevermind. It must be something wrong with the file. I tried opening another file and auto resize worked perfectly on it. Weird though that it works on one file and not another.
Thanks!

I need to print the text in secondary window in script

hi all,
how to print the text of purchase order (me22n) in script.
plzz explain with steps
thanks in adv
vidya

Good that you know how to use read_text...
In SAP script used it as shown below, in your script window call subroutine as shown below
Go through this example
Ex.
/: PERFORM <Subroutine name> IN PROGRAM <subroutine prog name>
/:USING &<field name>&
/:CHANGING &<field name1&
/:ENDPERFORM
Display &<FIELD NAME1>&
Then create subroutine pool program and you have to write the code.
FORM ><subroutine name> tables int_cond structure itcsy
outt_cond structure itcsy.
data : value(20), value1(20). "do your own declarations
Read int_cond table index 1.
value = int_cond-value.
***Use FM Read text and store the text in value1 and pass it back to SAPscript as shown below
Read outt_cond table index 1.
outt_cond-value = value1.
Modify outt_cond index 1.
ENDFORM.
Just rough idea given above.
Close the thread if your question is answered and reward points to all useful answers.

SAP Script Printing

Hi,
Can we have 'Collate' functionality as in Word document in SAP script printing.

Hi Rathakrishnan,
It's not a functionality of SAP script, but you have to set an attribute of the output device. Use transaction SPAD, select your printer and hit button Output Device. Then go to Tab 'Output attributes' and set 'Copies as separate output requests (in SAP System)'. This is similar to the collate functionality.
Does this solve your problem?

How to print the texts retrived by using READ_TEXT fun module in Smartform

Please tell me how to print the text which is rertrived by using the READ_TEXT function module in smartform.
I have coded all things in the program lines and in that i am retriveing the long texts.
I am getting the text lines in my internal table clearly, the thing is that I am not able to pass these lines to the text.
I have to print the trouble ticket. in that the notes log I have to pass.
its urgent. Points will be rewarded for any type of clue. whether it will work or not.

There are a few ways to do it. If you need to take all of the text in the text type, in your SF text element choose "Include Text".
Populate the fields with the data that corresponds to the text type. It is similar to the interface to the FM "Read_Text.
Text Name
Text Obje
Text ID
Language
Encase any variables with the "&" symbol.
If you have already coded the call to the FM "READ_TEXT" and loaded the text into an internal table, create a loop and loop through the itab. Inside of the loop create a text element and add a variable in the text element for the field you are looking to output.

Could it be that in your print(Graphics g, ...) method you are saying if pageIndex is greater than 0 return. If you are using 0 based page numbers, that would print page 0 (the first page) and none after that.
