Script - Space in Main window

Hi all,
 I have designed main window as such it matches the statinary requirements. the mainwindow has BOX command so it is like table of 2 rows and 5 columns.
The database fields present in the script gets displayed on the mainwindow , only 7 rows gets displayed on the mainwindow , but still there is enough space as it can accomodate about 12 rows . But once the data reaches 7 rows it jumps of to the other page .
I tried checking all the things but iam not able to figure it out. If i try increasing the size of main window the BOX alignment gets ruptured and it overlaps with the other window below it. The problem is space inside the main window is empty
If any one has a slight knowledge about this please let me know
I will paste the code present in the text element for the line items.
==================================================
/ THIS LINE IS BLANK
/: SET DATE MASK = 'MM/DD/YYYY'.
/: PROTECT
T1 &REGUP-BELNR(13)&,,&REGUP-BLDAT(6)&&REGUP-BLDAT&,,
= &REGUD-DMBTR(13R)&,,&REGUD-SKNTO&,,&REGUD-NETTO&
/: ENDPROTECT
==================================================
Please do let me know about this .
Waiting for ur replies
Regards,
Shuja

hii shuja ,
PROTECT
determine that a paragraph must not be separated by a page break. The lines in this command are printed together on one page. If the space is enough on current page, then all the lines are printed on current page. If, however the space is not sufficient the PROTECT command works as a NEW-PAGE.
SO remove PROTECT ENDPROTECT and try ..also check by increasing size of main window.

Script problem in main window

Hi,
In main window there is box at the bottom of the page which is used for totals and the space before it is used for items. I want the items to go to next page instead of overwriting on the totals . please help

Hi,
You can use
/: bottom
/: endbottom
command in the main window and put the box and the totals in that so they will be printed at the end of the page with out any overlapping of the items

Problem with sap script table in main window

hi all,
i have created a sap script for which output is in 7 pages.
except first page all the remaining pages are giving the correct output.
the problem with the first page is iam not not getting vertical lines in the table which is in the main window of page 1.
iam getting the vertical lines correctly in the mainwindow table of all the remaining pages.

Hi,
It's simple,
Pre- U should had declared a second page for the same window with header, main & footer.
now
First when u r looping the internal table provide no of rows eg Row 1 TO 10. in the Loop ( Data Tab)
or
when defing TEXT Go to PC Editor and mention all the fields Under PROTECT - ENDPROTECT.
This would solve the issue.
Thanks

What is the use of MAIN WINDOW in SCRIPTS

Alvaro Tejada Galindo

Hi
See this
What are the different types of windows in SAP Scripts?
Windows are defined in the Layout sets which define the position and the text to displayed.
The different types of windows are:
MAIN - Main Window
The main window is a continous window which can extend over several pages. If the text in the main window fills up a page, a new page is created.
Only one main window can be defined in the SAP Script whereas upto 100 instances of main window can be created in a page.
VAR - Variable Window
This window can have the variable contents displayed on them. The contents of the window cannot exceed the window size. The content can be formatted for each page.
CONST - Constant Window
The constant window can have a fixed content and is formatted only once.
Main Windows (MAIN)
Each form must have one window of type MAIN. Such a window is called the main window of the form. For SAPscript forms, the main window has a central meaning:
It controls the page break.
It contains the text body that may cover several pages.
It allows to fix text elements at the upper and lower margins of the allocated page window (for example, for column headings).
As soon as a window of type MAIN is full, SAPscript automatically triggers a page break and continues to output the remaining text in the main window of the subsequent page. Page windows of type MAIN have the same width throughout the form. The SAPscript composer thus avoids reformatting of the text after each page break.
Variable Windows (VAR)
The contents of variable windows is processed again for each page, on which the window appears. The system outputs only as much text as fits into the window. Text exceeding the window size is truncated; the system does not trigger a page break. Unlike constant windows, the page windows declared as variable windows may have different sizes on different form pages.
Constant Windows (CONST)
Starting with Release 4.0, the system internally processes windows of type CONST similar to windows of type VAR. Therefore, if you create a new window, always use type VAR.

Main window box is not extended

Hi Experts ,
I am working scripts. In main window I draw box , using below box command.
BOX XPOS '0.0' CM YPOS '0.0' CM WIDTH '3' CM HEIGHT '1' CM FRAME 10 TW
BOX XPOS '0.0' CM YPOS '0.0' CM WIDTH '6' CM HEIGHT '1' CM FRAME 10 TW
BOX XPOS '0.0' CM YPOS '0.0' CM WIDTH '10' CM HEIGHT '1' CM FRAME 10 TW
BOX XPOS '0.0' CM YPOS '0.0' CM WIDTH '13' CM HEIGHT '1' CM FRAME 10 TW
BOX XPOS '0.0' CM YPOS '0.0' CM WIDTH '16' CM HEIGHT '1' CM FRAME 10 TW
My issues is , when Item line is one, it is working fine.
But if item lines 2 to 10 records, My box was not extended.
So please give me solution.
Thanks,

point 1, wrong forum, see the moderator message right on top of this forum.
2. well you are drawing hard coded boxes of height 1 and various width´s.
Sure the will come only for item 1, for item 2 you´d have to draw new own boxes.
Since you cannot be sure about the height of a position, you had to code these dynamically, which is possible but quite a task.
Anyway it is NOT advicable to work with boxes on line-item level. at least not with SAP-Script.
with smartforms you have an easy time doing this, while in SAP-Script you may come quite near to desperation.

Grouping in main window

Hi experts..
I am working on SCRIPTS.
I am looping my internal table in main window to print fields of main window.
my main window fields are--
box_id   pack_id sales order duty_code   box_wt.
but one more field is there..ie DEST_CODE, its CHAR type.
but i want to group my internal table records according to DEST_CODE.
means..on o/p form fields should b displayed---
dest_code = '--'
box_id   pack_id sales order duty_code   box_wt.
my all fields are get printed..
but can some body tell me "how to group my internal table records, according to one specific field"
when that DEST_CODE will change,
those records group must b different.
thanks i advance

Hi,
1. U declare the first field as 'DEST_CODE' in ur Internal Table.
2. Now, u SORT the internal table on DEST_CODE.
3. LOOP ur Internal Table & use control break events for grouping based on DEST_CODE.
Eg:
In Driver/Print Program:
   LOOP AT itab.
     at new DEST_CODE.
        call function 'WRITE_FORM'.
            exporting
               element = 'E1'
               window = 'MAIN'.
        endfunction.
     endat.
     call function 'WRITE_FORM'.
        exporting
           element = 'E2'
           window = 'MAIN'.
    endfunction.
ENDLOOP.
In Script Form: in Main Window
/E    E1                                             --> Calling Element E1 to print Dest_CODE
P1   &itab-DEST_CODE&                   --> Printing DEST_CODE once for every new DEST_CODE
/E    E2                                             --> Calling Element E1 to print Dest_CODE to print other details
P1   &itab-box_id&,,&itab-pack_id&,,&itab-sales_order&,,&duty_code&,,&box_wt&.
Hope its clear!!

Tab setting in the main window sapscript table

Hi ,
i have one problem ,i am doveloping new script.in the main window having 5 column table .the table col size is grater than the populated field size.main problem is these values are not populated in the middle of the every column of the table.
to achive this how to set the tabsettings?
please sent the solution for this asap.
Thanking u.

Hi SS,
U can do that by giving the alignment (Right,Left,Center Alignment) in the Pragraph format and also in Character format.......
any of the format you can choose....
as for as tab is concern you must have the size of the value which you want to populate...
accordingly you have to give the tab size in paragraph format...
thnx
Rohit

Main window of SAPScript versus Main window of smartform

Hi,
In case of Smartform we have one main window per page but in case of SAP Script we can have 0 to 99 Main window on one page.
In case of smartform if the main window on one page gets filled then the remaining long text will jump on main window of second page.
Following are my doubts:
If I define three MAIN windows for three different kind of long texts on page one in SAP Script as follows:
MAIN Window 1 - Long text1
Main Window 2 - Long text2
Main Window 3 - Long text3
1) If the long text 1 on MAIN window 1 of first page gets full does it automatically jump to Main Window 2 of first page ?
2) If I don't want the long text on Main Window 1 to jump on Main window 2 on first page but on Main winodw 1 of next page , is it possible ? How do I do it ?
Answers will be rewarded..
Tushar.

In SAPScripts if the long text is filled in the Main Window it will spill over into the same Main Window if it is defined in the next page. Text from one Main Window will nt spill over onto the text to different Main window.
So as far as you questions are concerned:
1. Not it does not automatically jump over into Main Window 2 from Main Window 1 on same page or next page.
2. You just need to define the Same Main Window on the next page so that text gets jumped over to the next page. If it is possible just define the next page as the same page, so that you do not have to create a separate page and attach all the windows.
Hope this helps you...

What exactly is the diff between main window and variable window

what exactly is the diff between main window and variable window in SAP script?

hi,
MAIN WINDOW :- In a main window you display text and data, which can cover several pages (flow text). As soon as a main window is completely filled with text and data, the system continues displaying the text in the main window of the next page. It automatically triggers the page break.
You can define only have one window in a form as main window.
The main window must have the same width on each page, but can differ in height.
A page without main window must not call itself as next page, since this would trigger an endless loop. In such a case, the system automatically terminates after three pages.
VARIABLE WINDOW :- The contents of variable windows is processed again for each page, on which the window appears. The system outputs only as much text as fits into the window. Text exceeding the window size is truncated; the system does not trigger a page break. Unlike constant windows, the page windows declared as variable windows may have different sizes on different form pages.
As far as the processing of the window contents is concerned, the system currently treats constant and variable windows alike. The only difference is that constant windows have the same size throughout the form.
hope this will be useful.
If useful then reward points.
with regards,
Syed

Drawing Boxes in Script - main window

hi,
In script, in main window after table line item datas, i want to draw a box in which i will place some text. On drawing box, it appears on top of that window which i dont want, since it should be placed after item details.
kapil.

I do not know this is still relevant for You or not but here is the solution what I did:
First of all I have to mention this requires SAP standard object modification. !!!
1.Start SE80 and get into STXC function group.
2.Select COP_RELATIVE_NUMBER subroutines and double click on that.
3.Click on Edit button and Get SSCR Object number from SAP.
4.Change interface of the COP_RELATIVE_NUMBER subroutines extending it with TYPE parameters
5.Change the first if Statement.
6.Extend the Relative case section with a new WHEN '#'.
7. Cange All COP_RELATIVE_NUMBER calls with new input parameter in CO_BOX, In CO_POSITION, In CO_SIZE.
From now in Your SAP script You can call BOX statement like this:
BOX XPOS #10 TW YPOS #10 TW ..
Will start drowing BOX from cursor current position plus 10 twip.
Numbers after the # sign are optional.
Solution works only with TW.

How to use Two main windows with in a page in script ?

Hi any body explain me...
How to use Two main windows with in a page in script ?
with header data in one main window,
& Item data in other main window.

HI..,
u need to go for SPLITTING THE MAIN WINDOW !!!
Main windows in page windows allow you to format text in multiple columns. Define an area in the page window, in which to position the main windows.
Here is the procedure !!
-->Create a page window and assign it to a page.
Choose Edit --> Main windows.
A dialog box appears.
-->Enter values in the fields Area width and Area height in accordance with the input guidelines for main windows.
-->Enter values in the fields Spacing and Number in the Horizontal group if you want to use multiple columns. You can ignore the fields in the Vertical group.
Determine how many columns and line areas are required for label printing. Then enter the corresponding values in the fields in the Horizontal and Vertical groups.
-->The value in the field Left margin varies from main window to main window if multiple columns are used. The following applies:

Left margin of current column + Window width + Horizontal spacing = Left margin of next column
In label printing, the field Upper margin also varies from main window to main window:

Upper margin of current main window + Window height + Vertical spacing = Upper margin of next main window
-->Enter a value in the field Start position.
This is a counter. Enter a starting value which is equal to or greater than 1.
-->The main windows are added to the list.
-->Save your form.

How can I create more than one main window in a page of SAP SCRIPT?

How can I create more than one main window in a page of SAP SCRIPT? If anybody helps me I will be obliged.
Regards,
Subhasish

Hi Ganguly,
It is possible to have more than one main window in a same page.
You create a main window and simply you copy and past it in the same page.. it will create first main window name as MAIN and other main windows as MAIN01,MAIN02.... up to MAIN99.
Contets flow from MAIN , MAIN01, MAIN02.......................MAIN99. contents after filling the current window it flows to next window(by default, you skip as well with some keyword not sure could be NEW-WINDOW)
you want print the main window data twice? or you want to create two main window in the same page ?
1. give two copies in the no of copies in the output type screen ( Which pop up is coming after excute the program ).
2. create two page with the same script form.
3. you can write the coding inside the program to print twice the same page.
Hope this information use full to you..

Im getting a headache when i press space in the xcode main window the page scrolls up and down real quick, but why?

In Xcode in the main window where the code goes every time i press the space bar the page scrolls up to the top then back to the curser again really fast. If i hold my finger down on the space button then the page goes mad and i cant read anything. Please help. I am just now running Lion.

I have the same problem too and tried alot of things like time zone , restarting or changing DNS of wifi connection to 8.8.8.8 still nothing happens .. !!

Vertical line issue in SAP Script main window

Hi All,
I want to draw a vertical line in my main window in SAP Script output.
But problem is in main window i am printing some texts at the beggining then i am printing line items.
So this is not fixed line (box). It may increase/decrease based on text available before line items.
How can i manage this prining vertival line as i don't know height, top of this line!
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Deep.

Hai Deep,
Use Elements as suggested by Kodarapu.
Now goto Paragraph Formats create a format for Item lines.
ex.
Name Paragraph Format as 'IL' Now click on the Push Button "Tabs" on bottom Right.
now in "Tab Position" enter the spacing that you need for your item dispaly
ex.
Number     Tab position       Alignment
1               6.00   CH          LEFT
2               25.00 CH         LEFT
3               54.00 CH         LEFT
The above example is for 3 items
Now in your Script Windows-> Main
do the following.
/E           ITEM_LINE_A
IL           &EKPO-EBELP&,,&EKPO-EMATN&,,,,&EKPO-TXZ01&
Hope it SOlves your Issue.
Cheers,
