SAPScript box drawing

Hi Guys,
I'm facing difficulties on drawing a box with records in SAPScript. Im using below for box drawing:
1. Draw main box
/: BOX WIDTH 280 MM HEIGHT 130 MM FRAME 10 TW
2. Draw vertical line to separate each different COLUMN
/: BOX XPOS 15 CH WIDTH 0 CH HEIGHT 130 MM FRAME 10 TW
3. Draw horizontal line to separate each different RECORD
/: BOX YPOS 4 CH WIDTH 280 MM HEIGHT 0 CH FRAME 10 TW
Problems:
1. For drawing horizontal line to seprate each record, basically i fix a static incremental counter for YPOS xxx CH.
For eg:
1st line -> /: BOX YPOS 4 CH WIDTH 280 MM HEIGHT 0 CH FRAME 10 TW
2nd line -> /: BOX YPOS 6 CH WIDTH 280 MM HEIGHT 0 CH FRAME 10 TW
3rd line -> /: BOX YPOS 8 CH WIDTH 280 MM HEIGHT 0 CH FRAME 10 TW
... and so on, until the end of the box
The output LINE for first few records still ok, but for the rest it is overlapping with the records.
---> Please comment the right way to overcome above.
2. The code for drawing horizontal line is a lot, is there a better to perform the drawing?
> Please comment
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
My problem solved by using LN as below:
:/ BOX YPOS 4 LN WIDTH 280 MM HEIGHT 0 CH FRAME 10 TW
But right now, im using command SIZE to draw a box for me automatically by following the actual window size. I did that with no problem.
But im facing problem when im drawing Vertical line(column separator)within the box. Im intend to draw a line without specific the height for Vertical line(because my 2nd page's height is larger than 1st page and thus i do not want to harcode the height). Below is my code:
/:SIZE WINDOW -->Draw main box
/:BOX FRAME 10 TW -->Draw main box
/:BOX XPOS 15 CH FRAME 10 TW --> Draw vertical line
The result returned with problem, there are 2 vertical line being draw out. 1st line is draw at position 15 ch as instructed by the command, but there is 2nd line draw out of my main box on right, this is not expected.
Please comment on how should i fix the code.
Thanks in advance.

Switching mail box drawer to the right side of Mail window

Is it possible to switch which side the mail box drawer opens. In Panther Mail, this would switch automatically depending on where the Mail viewer window was placed on the computer screen. In Tiger, Mail does not switch and I have been unable to find an option to change the mail box drawer to the right side instead of the left. Anyone out there know the answer to this question? This is my third post on this topic with no response yet.... Thanks

James,
Sorry to hear that this is your third post for this question.
Perhaps because no one wanted to be the bearer of bad news.
The default left side behavior is fixed, and the only choice you have is to display or not display the mailboxes.
Provide OS X Feedback and express your need/desire for that feature.

SAPSCRIPTS - BOX COMMAND.

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?

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.

Mapping data from internal table to SAPSCRIPT Box.

Hi Gurus,
I have to create a sapscript where in I should get data from standard tables and display the data in box (table format) in sapscript. I know how to get a field (perform in zprogram) into sapscript form zprogram. I dont know how I can get data (internal table) from my zprogram into sapscript and display in a box.
Your help is highly appreciated.

Hi David,
    consider the below example say if your zprogram having the internal table table loop and you want to print the contents line by line or in a box,
LOOP AT tj_1irg23d.
header line
        CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
          EXPORTING
            element = 'ITEM_HEADER1'
          EXCEPTIONS
            OTHERS = 1.
endloop.
then in your sap script main window or where ever you want to print just straight away give your internal table fileds as follows(just for example)
I2           ,,&J_1IRG23D-ZEILE(Z)&,,&J_1IRG23D-MATNR&,,&J_1IRG23D-CHAPID&,,
=           &J_1IRG23D-MENGE(Z)&,,&J_1IRG23D-MEINS&,,0.0,,
then it will bring the values of your internal table in the form.

SapScript - Box / Position / Writing Text -

Hello everyone.
I have an problem in a SapScript.
I made the following code:
BOX FRAME 20 TW
BOX HEIGHT '2.2' CM FRAME 10 TW
BOX HEIGHT '2.7' CM FRAME 10 TW
BOX YPOS '2.7' CM WIDTH '5.5' CM HEIGHT '9.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
BOX YPOS '2.7' CM WIDTH '7.0' CM HEIGHT '9.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
BOX YPOS '2.7' CM WIDTH '9.5' CM HEIGHT '10.3' CM FRAME 10 TW
BOX YPOS '2.7' CM WIDTH '15.0' CM HEIGHT '9.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
BOX YPOS '2.7' CM WIDTH '16.5' CM HEIGHT '9.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
BOX HEIGHT '3.2' CM FRAME 10 TW
BOX HEIGHT '12.2' CM FRAME 10 TW
BOX HEIGHT '13' CM FRAME 10 TW
My main problem is: How do i write something that appears at the end of this box without going "ENTER" all the way in the SapScript.
Thanks in advance,
Rui Ribeiro.

emowtf,
If this is a Word Processing document, Select the Text Box and Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master. It will then appear on each page in the Section. If you have multiple sections, you will have to do this for each section.
If it is a Page Layout document, create your first page and then Format > Advanced > Capture Pages to make a reusable master page with your custom page number text box.
Regards,
Jerry

Sapscript box intensity option is'n work

Hi everybody,
i have a SAPscript with boxes the option intensity activated and when i see the print preview i don't have any mistake, but when i print my form, the intensity option disappears.
Greetings.

Hi,
You have to define intensity in SAP script.
Example :
/:BOX XPOS '0' CH YPOS '0' LN HEIGHT '3.0' LN WIDTH '28.0' CH INTENSITY 20
and Still doesn't work check Printer.

Sapscript - box not works

Hi,
I have a Sapscript and I use box to make borders.
I´m printing in a Laser printer and it´s works but in Epson LQ-1070 it doesn´t.
This problem was solved once by basis but now there no basis here to help me.
I tryed some configurations on SPAD and diden´t work.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Marcelo Perine

Execute TCODE : SPAD.
go to outputdevices tab.
press output device button .
press button 'create using templete' by selecting the default printer .now in your 'SPOOL ADMINISTRATION OUTPUT DEVICE ' define your EPSON Printer into device type(take care of nos of pins as more than one epson printers might be available.so determine the pins in your printer ,printer model and select the appropriart printer).
SAVE IT and use this name instead of original one .your printout will be directed to epson printer.

How can i get this?? any ideas?
Thanks

Hi
Instead of using static box; calculate the position of Y coordinate by using ABAP subroutine in Script.
you can refer the following code for the same.
/: PERFORM 'XXXXXX' IN PROGRAM 'ZXXXXXX'
/:                          USING    &FLAG&
/:                          USING    &PAGENO&

/: BOX FRAME 10 TW
The 1st vertical line
/: POSITION PAGE

Box and value will print same box (scripts)

HI Experts,
I am working on Script, The below box i want to drow , can any one help on the same.
total
&total&
Thanks,

Hi!
As i understood your problem that you want your total to be printed in the box at the end of all....
for this....i can suggest u that....
as dynamically printing a box is not possible....
you print your table data with PROTECT ENDPROTECT by restricting the lines say 10 lines per page....
Accordingly....just get the position where the total should come in the page
then in the main window
/E END_BOX_TOTAL
/: IF &PAGE& EQ &SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES&
(DRAW THE BOX)
     POSITION XORIGIN '12'(YOUR POSITION WERE U WANT) CM YORIGIN '18' (YOUR POSITION WERE U WANT) CM
/: SIZE WIDTH '7' CM HEIGHT '2' CM
/:   BOX FRAME 10 TW
TOTAL : &W_TOTAL&
/:   ENDIF.
call this data element in the driver program at the end as
loop at t_itab into fs_itab.
at last.
the write_form with this data element
endat.
endloop.
Regards.

Hi, everyone, a question about sapscript?

Hi, everyone,
My sapscript have one page and next page is the same as the first page, the page have two window, a var window and a main window, in the main window there is a command at the top that is "/: BOX FRAME 10 TW". and when I preview the form there is two page and in page 1 there is frame but the next page doesn't have frame, I don't know why, can anyone tell me why? thank you in advance!
Kind regards
Dawson

hi,
The box will not be carried by the main window to the other page this is because, the main window will be having the changing content, and as we define the main window only once the box appears only once. the remaining data in the main window will increase according to the content in it. so prepare your box in a variable window and define it in all the pages so your box will be coming in all the pages. overlay the variable window on the main window. with the same size..
you can refer to the link with same kind of query

Error while transporting Generic Datasource in R/3

Hi All,
I have created a generic datasource(R/3) on a view. As it was in $TMP, I have assigned the datasource, ZABCD, and the view, ZVIEW to a devlopment package and also to a transport request. I released the Transport request and when I tried to import it into Q, it throwed me an error with below messages:
Extract structure ZOX**** is not active
The extract structure ZOX**** of the DataSource ZABCD is invalid
Errors occurred during post-handling RSA2_DSOURCE_AFTER_IMPORT for OSOA L
The errors affect the following components:
BC-BW (SAP Business Information Warehouse Extractors)
The extract structure ZOX**** is the structure used by the datsource. I forgot to assign that to the earlier TR and I think the error is because the structure is missing in the TR. Am I correct?
How should I deal with it now? DO I need to create a new TR with this structure alone as the earlier TR is already released?
Thanks,
RPK.

As you comment it is possible error was not include the structure in earlier TR.
You can create, in se09 or se10, an empty TR. In these transactions you have a buttoun with a box drawed. Set focus on your new empty TR and push button.
Add object from TR transported with error and the missed structure.

How can I make an applet look to the current directory to read a txt file in?

I am using a File class passing only the file name as the contructor but forte still looks in "C:\forte_jdk\forte4j\bin\Events.txt" which is not my current directory for the project.
If leave it and ftp this applet to my web site I get an IOException.

I always find visual aids helpful. See below for screenshots & discriptions.
01. The Basics
When you create a new site & go into design view (in the example below it's the Home page), you'll see the following.
The white box is your page.
The grey box outside of that is your browser area.
The black & white checkered area is the Adobe Muse CC application chrome.
02. Add Box
Draw / Add your rectangle or text frame (text tool). I drew a rectangle, gave it a fill color of blue & turned the stroke from 1 to 0.
03. Extend & Snap to Browser Edge (Left)
Click, hold and drag your mouse on the center adorner (adorner is the little squares that you can grab to resize your rectangle) until you resize your rectangle to the browser edge (the dark grey area) until you see a red line. This means you've 'snapped' one of the rectangle's edge to the browser edge.
04. Extend & Snap to Browser Edge (Right)
Repeat the process except do this for the right edge. In truth, it doesn't matter in which order you resize your rectangle to snap to the browser edges. The key thing is to be sure to do this for both sides of the rectangle & snap it to the browser edge (see the red line).
05. You're done! Preview.
06. Bonus!
Once again, you can make rectangles or text frames 100% width, BUT you can't do this with placed images.
However, you can do this with a rectangle or text frame. Then set the Fill of either the rectangle & text frame to be an Image & set the Fitting to 'Scale to Fill.'
(see below for example - I used a rectangle & changed it's Fill property)
Now when I preview, the image is 100% width. In truth, it's a 100% width rectangle with a fill of an image.

How do I get Unicode chars beyond the ASCII range to display ?

Hello all.
I have just recently started to learn Java.
I want to display the data in a array using Unicode characters, but when I use the unicode code from the code sheet I merely get a ?.
I looked about the net and understand that Java doesnt support none ASCII characters (by default?) , I think its possible to import various codes but not sure about that.
Anyways...
My question is: How do I get the Unicode character 2254 Box Drawing Element to display (also other non standard ASCII ) ? Print("\u2254") results in a ?.
If you are wondering why:
I want to store a map for a game into a data array with the entities represented as normal letters and characters, this map will be generated by the program randomly but I want to see the output of the map to test if its obeying the rules I set out for the map generation.
I figured just read the array and print out the result , but to make it more legible in debugging convert the text characters to box drawing characters.

Both methods you mentioned just generate a question mark instead of the box drawing element I want.
I can get all the normal, ie letters and numbers and the common characters... but beyond that and all I get is a '?' in its place.
Initially I just wanted it to print the character in the legend.
The code below just prints a few lines of text , the legend to decipher the level display, and calls a class to create a level ..then the last call is to call a debug class to display the level that was created.
