Smart form page format.

Daer All,
A very good  morning to all of you......
I want to know that If I have dot matrix printer. Then which page format do i need to select to print data in smartforms. As I need in urgent. Plz give me the answer.
Thanks & regards.....

Hi
We use DINA4 page format for most of the times.
check with that format and see.I think page format doesn't have much effect on the printer.
Check the print out on 2 to 3 printers and see.
Reward points if useful

  • Understanding Margins in Smart Forms/Page Formats

    Okay I have completed all my forms by rendering out all the data and now need to adjust the style to my liking.  One issue that I am having is understanding the margins of a smartform and how they are defined?  From what I have researched, the page formats are defined in T-code SPAD where the width and height of the page is set.  However, I don't understand where the margins are determined.
    I have placed a window that contains a table at x-position 0 with the width of the window and table the full page width (DINA4 = 210mm).  In print preview, the document renders out fine with the table row stretching from end to end, but when I actually print it there is a 7mm left margin and a 10mm right margin, which cuts off the end of my table row.
    So my question is, where are these margins set?  Or is this because I have not/did not configure my printer settings correctly to communicate with the printer correctly?  Once again I would like to reiterate that my print preview works correctly but the print output does not.

    Okay from what you just said, translated to simple terms is pretty much: You cannot set the margins of the ACTUAL printout.
    Here are my current settings:
    Page format = LETTER
    Left margin of all windows = 0.0
    Window width = 21.00cm
    device type = LX4039 (Lexmark Optra T616)
    On the print preview The tables are left justified with no left margin, and there is a right margin that appears to be 8mm wide.  This is great if it actually printed this.
    When I actually print it though, I get this output:
    Left margin of all windows = 7mm
    Right margin of all windows = 5mm
    All windows that were on the right side of my document are cut off early and the tables only have a width of about 20.7cm.
    I could shrink my tables to make them fit but then they will not look centered, and I am trying to make every aspect of this form as professional as possible since our customers will see them.  Can anyone fix or acknowledge that there is no setting I can alter to fix this?

    Hi,
    Check this  it may be useful to u
    Formatting Date Fields: SET DATE MASK
    To define the formatting of date fields, use the SET DATE MASK control command. Executing this command causes all subsequent date fields to be printed using the specified format.
    Syntax:
    /: SET DATE MASK = 'date_mask'
    In the date mask, you can use the following codes:
    DD: day (two digits)
    DDD: day name - abbreviated
    DDDD: day name - written out in full
    MM: month (two digits)
    MMM: month name - abbreviated
    MMMM: month name - written out in full
    YY: year (two digits)
    YYYY: year (four digits)
    LD: day (formatted as for the L option)
    LM: month (formatted as for the L option)
    LY: year (formatted as for the L option)
    All other characters found in a date mask are interpreted as simple text and are copied straight into the output.
    Assuming the current system date is March 1st, 1997.
    /: SET DATE MASK = 'Foster City, MM/DD/YY'
    &DATE& -> Foster City, 03/01/97
    /: SET DATE MASK = 'MMMM DD, YYYY'
    &DATE& -> March 01, 1997
    The date mask may be reset to the default setting by using an empty string:
    /: SET DATE MASK = ' '
    The abbreviated and full forms of the names of the days and months are stored in the language dependent TTDTG table under the following keys:
    %%SAPSCRIPT_DDD_dd: abbreviated day name
    %%SAPSCRIPT_DDDD_dd: full form of day name
    %%SAPSCRIPT_MMM_mm: abbreviated month name
    %%SAPSCRIPT_MMMM_mm: full form of month name
    dd: day number 01 = Monday,..., 07 = Sunday
    mm: month number 01 = January,..., 12 = December

  • SMART Forms , paragraph format.

    Dear Expert,
    First of all, please refer to this. [here|http://wkokwei.googlepages.com/paragraph.jpg]
    I am trying to eliminate blank lines of the Text in the smart forms.
    example:
    &text1&
    &text2&
    &text3&
    &text4&
    Those text are variable, if it have no value, i dont want to print the empty line.
    "IF - ELSE " statements doesnt work.
    say if text1 is "AAA", text2 is " ", text3 is "CCC", text4 is "DDD".
    It will print as:
    AAA
    CCC
    DDD
    instead of:
    AAA
    CCC
    DDD
    and i found there is a setting in the paragraph format (refer to the link above),
    "No blank lines" option.
    Where to change this? I have tried to look into SMARTSTYES, didnt find it.
    gosh.... smartform is ******* smart..... this is making me crazy .....

    Hi,
    If you don't have too many texts, you can create one text element for each and print it only if your variable if filled, that is &text1& is not initial in the condition tab.
    This way you'll get no blank lines and don't have to bother with styles.

  • Smart form  page skip.

    Deer all.
    When I pint smart form in print preview , if it is 2 page, it is printed  just one page.

    what is the solution. If know that, Please answer  me. 
    thank you.

            total in outer box: 1772

    Press down arrow in your keyboard and check .
    Still if you cannot see check if you are printing your line items table in a main window.
    Incase you are printing your table main window you will be surely able to see pages flowing with your data. Increase your main window size and check it.
    If still you cannot see the pages then right click on mouse go to create->flow logic->command here check go to next page put second page name there.
    Create second page with a main window and window's height must be exactly of your first page main window size.
    Try all these options and if still you cannot see pages revert with problem you are facing.

  • Report region in a Form (page) format

    Hello,
    All the report templates I saw using a table format. Is it possible to display a Report region in a Form format – each item on a new line, and a "next" button to fetch the next record (instead of the usual report pagination)?
    Thanks for the help,
    Arie.

    Hi Vikas,
    Thanks on your reply. I saw that template but the option 'Number of rows' eluded me. Anyway, although your reply was perfect match to what I asked, its not exactly what I have in mind. Allow me to describe what I'm trying to do, and maybe you, or others, will have a better solution/idea to give me.
    I have 2 tables with similar characteristics. The original table – TableA – and a new, empty one – TableB. In one column on the page, I wish to display the records from TableA, one record at a time. In the parallel second column, I wish to have an empty form, based on TableB, that the user wick fill according to the information on the first column. The submit process should fetch a new record, from TableA, to the first column, and save the data from the second column to TableB.
    Why your first reply is not a perfect match for me? Well, I thought to incorporate several "shuttle buttons" near several of the items in the first column, that will allow the user to copy the original field data to the new item, on the second column.
    Do you think it can be done with HTML DB? Any idea will greatly appreciate.
    Many thanks,
    Arie.

  • Smart form page protection problem

    Hello gurus,
    I am having two line types for the header. To make them page protected, i have created a folder and put them into the folder and activated page protection check box.
    But the problem it is printing awkwardly, line types are printing in the bottom of the page, whenever page break is happening.
    if i remove page protection check box, it is printing nicely.
    Kindly let me know how to rectify this.
    Regards
    Rajesh

    Hi again,
    Actually, within the Main part of table node, grouping several rows under page-break protected folder works just fine... It is just that when one starts putting the page-break protected folders in Header part the things go awry. I don't believe the fix for that will be easy at all.
    But since your HEADER_TABLE1 does not really need a header part to achieve same layout, I'd try as follows:
    1) create page-break protected folder under Main part of HEADER_TABLE1;  add an empty column of required width for %ROW2 and drag it under folder; create a new row type to hold %TEXT9 (just one column for the whole table width and no borders) and insert it before %ROW2; disable Header and Footer part for the table; re-position the table so its aligned to data table;
    2) group the SAFETY_ITEM_ROW1 and MPO_DATA_ROW1 under page-break protected folder...
    Then, is there actually a reason the HEADER_TABLE1 is split off in a separate sort event? If it could go into DATA_TABLE1 main part, all elements could be protected together. Even if there is reason, you still should be able to move the contents of HEADER_TABLE1 to DATA_TABLE1, and control their output using flag set via code nodes in DOKNR_TOP event and footer of DATA_TABLE  and reset each time header rows have been output.
    True, you'd have to add that empty column to the table. But that inconvenience pales in comparison to having to extricate the remaining height of Main window out of Composer innards via implicit enhancement, and the pain of having to calculate output height of dynamic layout elements in form itself and doing explicit page-breaks.
    Just make sure to disable all (unnecessary) table headers and footers.
    Attached form illustrates protecting the header table and Data table separately, and I've been unable to break the layout no matter what I tried . Or did you try the folders in the Main part and did not succeed?
    cheers

  • Smart Forms Page Problem

    Hi,
    I am having a small problem in smartforms .My form consist of two pages and i created two pages but it is showing only one page i.e, first page only but it is not showing second page y? I maintained page attributes like next page is page 2 and incrementing counter radio button is checked  all had been done but it is not showing second page.WHY? 
    Regards
    Pavan Kumar

    hi Pavan
    your second will only be visible if the contents in your first page are exceeding the page,but if you want to see the two pages irrespective of the data in it then you have to create a COMMAND node inside the main window and check the box named <b>Go to new Page</b> and there you will have to specify your second page name.
    This way you can see your second page aslo.
    reward points if helpful.

  • Smart Forms -  Page Break

    Hi,
    check this wiki to meet your requirement
    [Page Break in smartforms|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/dAHDB]
    in that wiki just change the command window condition with a local variable say
    w_count = 5
    in the program lines window
    increase the counter.
    w_count = w_count + 1.
    if w_count > 5.
    w_count = 1.
    endif.
    this will definitely solve the poroblem

    Are you trying to print on a continuous paper? If so, you'll need to adjust the paper size in the printer options. You'll find the detailed instructions here:

  • 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."
