SapScript - print a form x-times

Hi,
I need to get a number in the print program, how many copies I have to print of that form. How can I tell SapScript, that this form has to be printed a specific number of times?
For example I get the number 5 in the print program. Now exactly that form should be printed in 5 times...
Thank You very much!

Check the parameter itcpo-tdcopies in the print program
Pass itcpo structure to OPTIONS parameter in OPEN_FORM

Printing form multiple times

Hi Experts,
how to print the form multiple times? . i have multiple shipto entries....for every new shipto entry form should be printed..can you please provide me with sample code..

Hi,
I cannot see if you are using sapscript or smartforms. I expect sapscript.
You need an ABAP change. The program must as first determine the SHIP TO Addresses.
Then a loop over these adresses and making the several forms (also using open and close form).
If you use a smartform you have still a loop over the adresses. But know you have also to change the smartform. You must give the addressnumber as parameter to the smartform. And the smartform must print that adressnumber,'
If you need more info. Let me know

Printing multiple forms for one output types.

Hi,
I need to print the form 4 times for one specific output type. My internal table contains only one record, but for that one record also i need to print 4 forms. How can i do this, i tried using control parameters but in vain.
Any suggestions of how to achieve this,
Thanks & Regards,
Ramana.

Hi,
I am working with only one smart form. But there are different output types(ZVSL, ZVFX, ZVFE & ZVFI) configured for that form. But for one specific output type (ZVSL), i need to repeat the print for 4 times.
Thanks & Regards,

SAPScript: How to print mutiful forms in one program?

Dears,
I want to print invoice in my program, And one invoice number should print one form.
My question is : if there is a internal table contains 10 different invoice number, and I want to print 10
forms. Is that means, I should use FM 'OPEN_FORM' 10 times?
If do, I would have to fill the popup dialogue window 10 times.
Anybody who have good ideas about this problem? Thank a lot.
Sincerely yours,
Julie

I suppose you want to print several sapscripts in one spool
In that case you need to use START_FORM END_FORM
It would be something like this
OPEN_FORM
Loop at invoices.
START_FORM
ENDFORM
endloop.
CLOSE_FORM

Printing a form

Hi folks,
I had an question, related to printing the form using sapscript. I am printing a sapscript form using two printers. The first one is HPLJ4000 : HP Laserjet 4000   and the model is Dell Printer and using this printer the form is printing fine.
However when I print using another printer HPLJ4000 : HP Laserjet 4000 but a different model HPLJ 2100TN some of the data is not printing in the right font size. The font I am using is HELVE and I believe it is not recognising it.
I do not know how to work on the issue, asked the Basis guy too he has no clue about it.
Any thoughts or ideas will be helpful?
Thanks,
Sk

Hi
See this OSS notes
OSSNote:960341
Symptom
In some device types (e.g HPLJ4, HPLJ5) you experience non-uniform character spacing in the PDF document after the PDF conversion of SAPscript or Smart Forms documents, using HELVE or TIMES fonts. You want to know the reason.
Other terms
CONVERT_OTF, SAPscript, Smart Forms
Reason and Prerequisites
The problem is not due to an error in the PDF converter but due to the fact, that the printer font, underlying the device type (e.g. Univers or CG Times in PCL-5 device types), is not available for the PDF converter and is either not available in Adobe Reader. The PDF converter has to try to simulate the layout of the printer font by means of a font which is predefined in Adobe Reader. This is done by assigning the letter widths of the printer font to the font used in Adobe Reader.
The PDF file contains a table with letter widths, used by Adobe Reader in the output of text, for each used printer font (except PostScript fonts).
Example:
%Charwidth values from HP4300 HELVE 060 normal
/Widths
[ 278 333 500 633 633 1000 758 333 333 333 633...
Adobe reader converts this width table, by modifying the space between each character, so that the specified letter width (= space between the current and the next letter) is kept.
This 'Simulation' of printer fonts results in the sometimes visible irregular spaces in PDF.
The PDF converter always uses the Helvetica Adobe PostScript font for the display of HELVE and the Times Roman Adobe PostScript font for the display of TIMES. However, for these Adobe PostScript fonts, Adobe Reader often uses a Windows TrueType font, which differs slightly from the original PostScript font.
Solution
Workaround: Use the POST2 PostScript device type or the PDF1 PDF device type for the PDF conversion of documents in the Latin-1 character set. They both use the Adobe PostScript fonts Helvetica or Times Roman for the HELVE/TIMES printer fonts.

Symptom
Documents printed via SAPscript or SmartForms do not print with correct special characters, e.g. ### prints instead of Japanese or Russian characters. What to do?
Other terms
SAPscript, SmartForms, printing, device types, OTF
Reason and Prerequisites
Help required to choose proper fonts in a SAPscript or SmartForm
Solution
When using SAPscript or SmartForms to print (or email or fax) a form from a business application, many factors influence the outcome of the actual text within the form. All these factors must be checked in order to ensure a correct printout:
1) The language version of the form used to produce the printout.
Example: If you want to print a French invoice, you need to have a FR version of your SAPscript or SmartForms invoice form RVINVOICE01. And the application program must specify the corresponding language key (FR) when calling the SAPscript or SmartForms API.
2) The font selections specified in the form (possibly also in a SAPscript style or SmartStyle used in a form).
Example: In a SAPscript form or a SmartStyle you need to specify HELVE if you want to print German text in Helvetica (or similar) font. If you want to print Japanese text, HELVE is not a valid choice but you need to specify a Japanese font like JPMINCHO in your Japanese form.
3) The output character set of the device type
Every printer in transaction SPAD has a "device type" assigned. Device types used by the spooler for printing support only one single specific output character set. All text from the form has to be converted (using SAP's built-in character conversion mechanism) to this output character set.
A character set can typically support either a single language (e.g. Shift-JIS which supports only Japanese) or a set of languages (e.g. ISO 8859-1, which supports Western-European languages). It is possible that a given language (such as German) can be supported by several output character sets, e.g. you may use either ISO 8895-1 (Latin-1) or ISO 8859-2 (Latin-2) to represent German text. This is so because both character sets contain the special characters used in German.
Example: HPLJ4000 is a HP LaserJet device type supporting the ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) character set. ISO 8859-1 can be used to represent e.g. Dutch, English, French, German, Spanish, Swedish but NOT Russian or Japanese.
As a consequence, it is ok to use HPLJ4000 to print English, German French etc. but not for Japanese or Russian.
4) The set of available printer fonts for a given device type
When formatting a document, SAPscript and SmartForms perform an automatic mapping of the font definitions in the form (e.g. "HELVE 14 point bold") and the available printer fonts of the device type. A replacement printer font is chosen, should the specified font selection not be available in the device type. Now this replacement can be problematic if a language-specific font, such as Chinese CNSONG, is specified in a form and it gets replaced by a font which does not support this language, e.g. COURIER.
To solve this problem, font families in SE73 have language attribute assigned, e.g. some fonts are characterized as being suitable only for certain languages. And when a replacement has to be chosen because the original font from the form is not available in the device type, a replacement font is chosen which has the same language attributes.
If no fonts for the language in question exist in the device type, the resulting font will not be able to print the special characters and you will see "wrong" output characters in the printout.
Note on SAPscript/SmartForms Print Preview:
The OTF Print Preview available in Windows GUI (e.g. from transaction SP01) will sometimes not show the "wrong" characters which appear on the final printout. Here is the reason: since the Print Preview runs in Windows environment, it will use Windows fonts to represent the actual printer fonts. A Windows font typically has more available characters (i.e. covers more character sets) than are actually available in a printer's resident font.
A typical example where the Print Preview will differ from the printout is here: if you have a Chinese PCL5 printer such as CNHPLJ4 and use the Western Latin font COURIER in your document, the print preview will show you Chinese characters if you (by accident) tried to format Chinese characters in COURIER font. This is because Windows will automatically choose a font that can output Chinese characters (which is actually not Courier). But when you print the job on an actual PCL5 printer with resident Western and Chinese fonts, the Courier font will not print any Chinese characters but Western special characters instead, because the printer's resident Courier font does not include Chinese characters.
Rule of thumb: all Asian device types (e.g. CNHPLJ4, JPHPLJ4, JPPOST, KPHPLJ4) support not only Asian fonts but also COURIER, HELVE and TIMES fonts. But these Latin fonts can only be used to print English text, not Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters.
Which fonts are suitable for a given language?

Verify your output by examining the OTF data
When analysing printing problems of this type, be sure to check the OTF data which gets produced by SAPscript or SmartForms. OTF or "Output Text Format" is the intermediate page-description format generated from SAPscript or SmartForms. OTF will contain the final printer font names and character set/language identifiers which help to solve the problem. OTF will even name the form and the language of the form used to create the output.
The easiest way to do this is to create a spool request from your application, run transaction SP01, use menu
Goto->Display Requests->Settings
and choose
Display Mode: Raw
Now display your spool request. If this is a SAPscript or SmartForms spool request, you will see OTF data. Each line represents one OTF command, every command starts with a 2-character cmd identifier and possibly some cmd parameters follow.
Here is an excerpt from a sample OTF file where we highlight the most interesting commands:
//XHPLJ8000    0700 00000000001
IN04EALEXTEST_ZEBRA
IN05%PAGE1
OPDINA4 P 144 240 1683811906000010000100001
IN06%WINDOW2
MT0024401289
CP11000000E
FCHELVE 120 00109XSF100SF101110000067E X
UL +0000000000000
SW00067
CT00000000
ST0453037Dieses SF hat Stil ALEXTEST_ZEBRA mit
The 1st line with the // (Control) command reveals the device type usedto print: HPLJ8000
//XHPLJ8000    0700 00000000001
The 2nd line (IN = Info command) shows the name and (internal 1-char)language key of the form:
IN04EALEXTEST_ZEBRA
In this case it is the English (E = EN) SmartForm ALEXTEST_ZEBRA
The OP-line (OP = Open Page) gives the page format used in the form, it is DINA4 Portrait orientation:
OPDINA4 P 144 240 1683811906000010000100001
The CP (CodePage) cmd shows the SAP system codepage used to code the text and the active language. In our case it is codepage 1100 and language E = EN = English.
CP11000000E
Finally, the FC-cmd (Font Call) lists a printer font selected within SmartForms. Please note that every SmartForm has a designated default SmartStyle under "Form Attributes->Output Options". In addition, every text node can have a SmartStyle attached (which will override the definitions from the default style for the text). In our case the resulting printer font that was selected is HELVE 12.0 pt bold-off, italic-off.

SAPscript - print copy number

Hi All,
I have to print 2 copies of a SAPscript. One is an internal copy and one is a customer copy.
I would like to print 'Customer Copy' on the 2nd copy. But I cannot seem to find any SAPscript system variable that keeps track of the copy count... I know that Smartforms uses a COPYCOUNT variable but I am using SAPscript here.
Any ideas? Has anyone done this before?
Thanks,
N.

Hi,
Fill the structure ITCPO... with TDCOPIES = 2 and pass it to the OPEN_FORM FM
Now while printing the form... in your print program
declare a variable to hold the string value "Customer copy'
do tdcopies times
case sy-index.
when 1.
var = 'ORIGINAL'.
when 2.
var = 'CUSTOMER COPY'.
when others.
endcase.
call your text element where you are displaying the var value
enddo.
regards
padma

Printing Interest Form

Hi All,
I have configured the interest calculation in our SAP system.
I copied the SAPScript Form "F_DUZI_01" from Client 000 in the developement client "Z_F_DUZI_01" and transported to the testing client. I also assigned the form name in configuration. When running T-codes: FINT or FINTSHOW, i am not able to display the form as it gives me the following error: "Form Z_F_DUZI_01 does not exist",
I have been told that I have to convert the SAPScript into SMARTFORM, to be able to display the form, Is that causing this problem.
However, when running se38 program RFDUZI00, using Z_F_DUZI_01, i am getting the following message "The table of time-sensitive interest terms is not maintained for the following tranasction types ...." Even though, it is already maintained.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Regards,
Wafa Al Meer

Hi Wafa,
You can´t run program RFDUZI00, but new transaction FINT (program RFINTITAR) which is the new program and use smartforms.
You must associate your smartform into spro-Financial Accounting-Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable-Business Transactions-Interest Calculation-Print-Assign Forms for Interest Indicators

Print multiple forms between FP_JOB_OPEN and FP_JOB_CLOSE

I am aware, that there are questions regarding "Printing Multiple forms", but I didn't find answers there.
Still my system is not working as expected:
1. FP_JOB_OPEN is called
2. the generated Adobe Forms function is called multiple times
3. FP_JOB_CLOSE is called
This program doesn't deliver all the pages, but just the first call. How shall I solve this problem?
(Coding should work anywhere with copy-pase.)

Hi ZSOLT,
In order to call the form multiple times please do the following,
1) Just before your FP_JOB_OPEN you need to pass the output parameters (good practice). You can also set other parameters as well (for example nodialog, preview, copies., etc)
CLEAR fp_outputparams.
fp_outputparams-dest = 'PDF1'.      "Default pdf printer
fp_outputparams-reqnew = 'X'.       "New spool request
Now call your FM FP_JOB_OPEN with the above output parameters.
2) Usually this step is processed in a loop. (getting your interface data into a internal table and then looping at it)
But here I am enhancing your example code.
In order to trigger the form multiple times you need to change some input data to the form (for example I have changed date and time below in the prepare test data sections) so that the call function fm_name gets regenerated every time there is new data
data l_datatypes       type sfpdatatypes.

Sapscript: Print different languages

Dear all,
We have the following issue I need your help on:
We have an offer, which has to be printed in Chinese and English. For printing we use the Sapscript forms ...
Here is the current coding for printing (SE71):
- Chinese: Printout is in Chinese and correct
/:         ADDRESS PARAGRAPH T2 LINES 8
/:           ADDRESSNUMBER &VBDKA-ADRNR(K)&
/:           COUNTRY 'CN' LANGUAGE 'C'
/:           LANG_FOR_COUNTRY 'X'
/:           FROMCOUNTRY &VBDKA-SLAND&
/:         ENDADDRESS
- Englisch: Printout of customer address is shown as ##### even we print the output type in English and there is an English language maintained in SD and customer master data
/:         ADDRESS PARAGRAPH T2 LINES 8
/:           ADDRESSNUMBER &VBDKA-ADRNR(K)&
/:           FROMCOUNTRY &VBDKA-SLAND&
/:         ENDADDRESS
The customer master data in VD03 is in English and Chinese as "Internat. Version".
Please can you help us how the coding should look like, so the same output type can be printed in Chinese with Chinese letters and English with Latin letters.
I've read through some other related topics and it seems like the device type is also relevant if the printing of different languages is supported or not!?
Does someone know the correct device type? We currently use the following: PDFUC.
By the way: In our user exit we also have implemented an user exit with the following function ....
* China:
ELSEIF destination_country_fields-intca = 'CN'.
     IF sender_country_fields-intca = 'CN'.
* China -> China: Version C (if maintained, otherwise version SPACE)
      version_key = 'C'.
     ELSE.
* from elsewhere -> China: International (if maintained)
       version_key = 'I'.
     ENDIF.
--> This user exit shows, that we can't print the English characters since it's always pulls the Chinese ADRNR.
Do you have an idea how we can adapt the program or user exit so we also can print the form in English, even parts goes CN to CN.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Andreas,
you just have to make sure, that the device-type support the character-set. This is located in TA SPAD and there you go to the device-type.
but that is a basis-thing.
Additional to that it necessary to call the form in the correct language in such specific cases.
To solve this issue go to SE63 and translate it to chinese.
Now, if you got a chinese customer, call the form for the chinese output and if you got the english call the EN-Output.
To connect both forms together you can use the START_FORM/ END_FORM functionstones. It is located in the same functiongroup.
OR
An easy try and error thing would be to set the country before printing the address.
/: SET COUNTRY CN
/:         ADDRESS PARAGRAPH T2 LINES 8
/:           ADDRESSNUMBER &VBDKA-ADRNR(K)&
/:           FROMCOUNTRY &VBDKA-SLAND&

Hope that gives you a solution for your problem.

Is it possible to print a form in APEX 2.1?

Hi,
Is it possible to print a form in APEX 2.1? I'm able to export a report in cvs, but not a form.
Thanks.

If you're just looking to export a single row via CSV, then yes, you can add that functionality to your Form page in any release of APEX.
Have a look at a blog post I made quite some time ago:
http://spendolini.blogspot.com/2006/04/custom-export-to-csv.html
Using this, you could limit the query to only bring back the row that is displayed in the form.
Thanks,

Hi Howard,
this is printer problem.
Appart from regular settings we have left margin and right margin settings for printer.
If you rememmber we can do this setting if we print MS WORD document.
There is no setting available in SAP.
So solution is to increase right margin on your laout and try to fit your contents in same.
The preview is dependening on device type in SAP so u get previeew right.
Hope this will help.
Thanks,
Dhiraj.

Migrating SAPscript print program to Smartform

hello everyone,
Requirement is to print transfer orders. Current functionality supports SAPscripts and its print program. Since we are going to be using Smartforms, I need to change the print program so that it calls the custom smartform created by me.
Can anybody help me out by telling me a step-by-step process as to WHERE and WHAT changes I can do in the SAPscript print program so that I can use it for my Smartform?
The SAPscript print program that needs to be changed is: RLVSDR40.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Fred.

Hi Fred,
The system does not migrate the print program (data retrieval) or the form logic contained in the print program. You must make the required changes to the respective print program yourself. PL take a look at the following

Sapscripts to adobe forms successfully completed.

I have converted years old sapscripts to adobe forms with an average time of completing the form as 1.5 month.
These are all offline and interactive adobe forms with barcodes
Areas I have covered are SD,MM,HR,FI
I am offering help and advise for people who are stuck and need support .

My questions may seem off topic but: I wonder, after the experience, would you suggest people to do what you have done? Or you would, if have to do that once again, do not pick conversion but start from scratch, at least with the form layouts? Would be great to know, because I know what a mess the converter produces...
Thank you, Otto

SAPscript and Smart Forms - Going to be phased out?

Thus far, are SAPscript and/or Smart Forms going to eventually be retired? Is there an official document, or Note that says so? I've exhaustively searched through these forums, and the SMP for the PAM and Notes, but I can't find a reference anywhere that will tell me.
I did find where it says:
"Customers can continue to use existing SAP forms solutions such as Smart Forms and SAPscript.
Both solutions will continue to be supported in their current functional scope."
Just want to make sure with my clients.
Thanks!

Hello,
We recently rolled out an SAP's Strategy as far as forms development is concerned.
Here is the official statement:
"The SAP forms strategy is based on SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe (IFbA). This applies to both print and interactive forms. In this context, most Business Suite solutions have already been converted to the IFbA technology (more than 2300 forms), and new standard SAP forms will be created using IFbA instead of Smart Forms or SAPscript.
SAPscript and Smart Forms shall continue to be supported inline with SAP's maintenance strategy, thereby ensuring the ability to protect existing customer investment."
You can also find this on the Smart Forms page in SDN: Smart Forms Overview
