Smartforms Character format problem

Hey Guys any idea about this?
2)
When I give a text element a 'B1' bold character format with a P1 paragraph format both of which are already defined in smartstyles. When I click on any other button after setting these values, the character format disappears!!.
Can some one please help me?
Kind Regards
Sameer

Hi,
As u said it should not happen.
Have u specified the style in output options ?
Other wise press the icon for txt editor above syntax check.
Then go to>Change Editor>Select the para format from f4 and write
like <b1> Your Text <b1>

SmartForms Character Formats, Fonts, and Sizes?

Does anyone have any good documentation, links, or suggestions related to character formats, fonts, and sizes we can use in SmartForms? My biggest challenges are trying to decide which fonts and their sizes to use in my windows.
For instance, what are good small, or medium, or large, font types to use under different scenarios, and what suggested sizes should be used with them? It would be nice to have some kind of a tip sheet that would refer to this. Because I spend more time playing with configuration then I do actually coding.
Open to all or any suggestions. Thank-You.

Issue with character formats using duplex printing in smartform

Hi all,
I am getting a problem with character formats using duplex printing in smartform. I am using a text module with a bold character to display text in a window. The problem is that on the first back page,the text is being printed normally (without bold), but on the next pages, the back pages are being printed with the bold character format.
Can anyone know where is the problem..please.
Points to be rewarded..
Thanks.
Regards,
Zaheed.

Hi Zaheed,
Normally this should not happen.. and also there is no internal formatting done by SAP.. it will show based on what fomatting option we have specified..
If you are saying it is happening in ur case then
     1. Recheck whether whether you have same text module getting printed on the
         two page. If they are different then then individual check formatting option for
         each..
      2. If above point does'nt work for you ..then instead of bold char use normal
          format for text element and see if it is printing same on both page..
Try this out and let us know your findings...
Enjoy SAP.

Problem with paragraph style overrides and character formatting

I've had this problem for a long time, and sometimes it resolves itself, sometimes it doesn't. Finally I'm begging for help.
I am typesetting academic articles into a journal. We use endnotes. The endnotes have both italic and regular formatting--italics for book and journal titles, and foreign phrases.
Sometimes when I place the text, the formatting reverts to whatever it was in Word. To try to fix that, I've begun stripping the Word formatting from the original document, making everything "Courier New" and just importing it like that. I figured this would clear a lot of the problems I've had with fiddly formatting issues.
I was mistaken.
Here is what happens:
When I place the document it comes up in the original Courier New font, with italics and other formatting intact. If I click "article style" which is the main article paragraph style format, normally it changes. but if I right click and select "apply article style" it is more likely to change the paragraph to the proper style, with italics and other formatting still intact.
But when it gets to endnotes, I'm sort of screwed.
My endnotes style is a bulletted style, so that I can have the endnote numbers consistent. but this seems to screw all the style formatting.
Here is what I do:
With the cursor in endnote text, I click "bulleted endnote style". The character format remains the same, with a + beside the style. The endnote number format is different, however. If I click "clear overrides" it does in fact change to the proper formatting, but it strips any italics or other character in the text. This is frustrating because many of these endnotes have lots of italicized journal and book titles, and it takes a long time to figure out which ones I need to reitalicize manually.
I have tried to use the "customize style import>Style mapping" but it has not fixed anything.
Please help me figure out how to make these transitions more smoothly. I am open to suggestions both on how to make the changes once the document is placed in the Indesign file, and also making modifications to formats in the native Word file so that I don't have these problems.
Thanks
Dan

Sorry, that last message wasn't supposed to send (if that's not obvious!). I was writing it and got interrupted. Damn iphone.
I know why there are two numbers. This is not an issue. What I didn't finish writing was that, the note number before i bullet it is a different font/ format. Again, not a problem. Here is something interesting, though. If I delete that original number by placing the cursor in the middle of it (say a between the 4 and 2 of 42) then delete everything by Shift+arrow forward, press delete then delete the rest of the unnecessary characters, THEN apply the style formatting, it works just fine. Is it something to do with the character codes of those original note numbers?
Word drops in so many hidden codes that it screws everything up!

Smartform: Formatting Problem with QUAN-Field

I want to print a smartform and get exception 1 (formatting error). With function SSF_READ_ERRORS I get an error table. There is on entry: errnumber = 020011, msgid = SSFCOMPOSER, msgty = E, msgno = 601, msgv1 = wa_outtab-menge.
It seems to be a formatting problem with field WA_OUTTAB-MENGE. But in the structure this field is referenced correctly.
Does anybody know a solution?

I solve this kind of problem in my SmartForm.
Try this:
Go to "Global Definitions" Node, then "Current/Quant.Fields" tab and set these values:
Field Name: WA_OUTTAB-MENGE
Reference Field: WA_OUTTAB-MEINS
Data Type: QUAN

Smartforms - Change a text elements character Format

Hello,
I need to modify a Smartform by increasing the font size on some text elements. When I highlight the text element to change and then click the dropdown for Character Format I can click the format I would like but it never changes.
I've also tried resetting the character formats but it always gets back to it orginal size/settings.
How can I change the character format in a text element?
Thanks,
Matt

It appears I have to delete the field then change the character format to the font I want and finally drop the field back into place on the screen.
If there is another way to do it, I never found it.
Switching to the classic editor may work as well. Worth trying.
Thanks,
Matt

Dynamic character format in SMARTFORMS

Dear Gurus,
I want to make a dynamic character format in smartforms. I did it in SAPscript and success.
what I did in program before passing to smartform :
d_note = '<XX> dynamic text </>'
and pass it to SAPscript and smartforms :
&d_note&
in SAPscript I made new character format XX as BOLD and UNDERLINED. it works for SAPscript. the output become = dynamic txt
unfortunately when I do this in smartforms, it is a fail although I have set new character format XX as bold and underline in smartstyles. the output become = <XX> dynamic text </>
any guru has a solution for this smartform?

Hi Sendy,
You cant use tags (eg- <XX>) in smartfomrs like you did in sap scripts. Use your style in the smartform( form attributes) with all character formats and paragraph formats which you need. When you create a new text module in the smartform you will get two drop down lists for the paragraph formats and character formats in the top of the editor. Type your text there and highlight then choose 'XX'(or any other character format) character format from the drop down list.
Hope this would help.
Cheers,
Jeewana

SmartForms - CNSONG FONT Problem

Hi Guru's,
I'm developing the Smartforms using CN SONG Font, because we need to display the chineese Characters.
The Problem is that the CNSONG Letters are occupying more space than the Normal Arial Font.
Is there any way can we reduce the Space occupied by the CNSONG Characters or any other font which is really good and displays the chineese characters.
Thanking you.
Regards,
Adi.

Hi
Check the font size of the CNSONG font
CNHEI and CNKAI are the chinese font just check even with these font family.
Check in the smartstyle character format---> font tab

As the above log shown, I cannot do any backup command in the RUN bracket and it complains that the character set is not recognized.

If you have come across this problem and have solutions of it. That will be great.

Character Formats showing up in TOC

TOC entries for, say, "Heading4", are nominally controlled by the paragraph format of the generated "Heading4TOC" format.
Sometimes the body narrative will have local mods to the Heading4 text. Depending on what you're doing, you may want those mods to show up in the TOC, or you may not. In my case, I did not, and was surprised to see a TOC entry show up in color.
It turns out that if you apply a Character Format to text used for TOC (and perhaps IX, LOF etc) generation, that ChrFmt is retained when rendering the TOC.
So if you want the local enhancement to appear in the TOC, use Chr Fmt. I verified this by setting a heading word to Character Format "Symbol" (which applies the Symbol font`, all else As-Is). The TOC entry had that word in Symbol glyphs.
if you don't want the local enhancement to appear in the TOC, use local overrides. I verified this by just doing a Format > Font > Symbol on the same word of the heading. The TOC entry had that word in roman.
In my case, I have a table imported (as EPS) from a spreadsheet. I want the table title to appear in TOC, but of course Frame can't "see" that text. So the anchor line is that title in Heading4, which does appear in TOC. This particularly H4 has a local color override that is set invisible via Color Views. I want the TOC entry to be visible, but the Heading4 text in the body to be invisible. This works if the Heading4 has the invisible color applied with the graphics tools. It doesn't work if I use an invisible text Character Format.
Another way to hack this particular problem is to put the Heading4 title in a text frame behind the imported image. Then it requires no character formatting magic. But you can't see it during edit, and you need to hope that the table white fills really are, and aren't just transparent.

The TOC will only reproduce the character format of the heading if it has that character format in its catalogue.
Thanks for contributing that. It stands to reason that if TOC gen is honoring and replicationg the ChFmt, the easiest way to implement that is just to drag the format in with the text being cloned.
Building on this, you can control the appearance of the TOC entry by defining the character format – if you wish, differently from how it is defined in the main text. So your Heading 4 override may be coloured white in the main text, but black in the TOC.
Thanks again. I'm going to use this starting now, since the present manual set has need of it.
The key aspects of the implementation:
The ChFmt name needs to be something very self-evident to future document stewards, like "Hide_Except_TOC".
In all .fm files except TOC, its definition is
all As-Is, except for Color,
which is an existing author-use-only color "Invisible Text" already set Invisible by Color Views during render.
In the TOC file, the definition of "Hide_Except_TOC" is
100% As-Is.
(first time I've ever defined a format like that)

Character format on include text in smart form ??

hello,
i want to apply a character format on my include text, as we do on text elements .. how to apply it on include text ??
thanks..

Hey dude ,
Just go to the output option of the text and include the smartstyle, where you have mentioned the required charecter format. Before doing this you should have activated your smartstyle .
Your problem will be solved.

Attempt to process file failed with Exception in XML Parser-format problem

Hi all,
Iam getting an unusual error in the J2EE stack in XI.
And the message is:

My scenerio iam posting IDOC to a flat file with content conversion in the receiver side,the mapping got executed successfully and in the audit log i found that the error was after the 'Start converting XML document content to plain text'.
This means that error occured during content conversion of XML to the prescribed file format.
Can anyone suggest any better approach using which we may trace the junk data in IDoc. Manual adhoc approach could take time and is error prone.
Thanks in advance...

Hi Bhavesh,
Thanks for the early reply. I checked the mapping and everything is fine and the output is also in valid XML format.
The audit log shows that the mapping got executed successfully and the error is after the step 'Start converting XML document content to plain text '. Is there any constraint in the file adapter regarding the message size for parsing.

How to change the automatic character format in Message Editor?

Hi experts,
We use PI 7.31, AAE adapter in our scenario. When we use the message monitor in Adapter Engine, we choose one message and open it in Message editor, we can see the message payload with AUTO Character Format: Windows-1252.
The problem is we have some CN characters and they cannot display in correct formats.
So, is there any way to change the AUTO Character format?
The other question is, can we see the message after mapping in java message monitor?
Thanks.
Kevin

Hi,
The Quantity field which is used in sales order has a standard Data Type:QUAN
with Decimal Places:3 so u cant change the settings in standard data element CRMT_SCHEDLIN_QUAN
If u want the quantity field without decimals then u need to create a Z data element.

Sapscript Standard Text Printing - Format Problem

Heros,
I wanted to print one standard text(Basic Text of Process order) in sapscript.I am using the INCLUDE command instead of Read_text FM , so that I can keep the Paragraphs of that text intact.But I am falling short of two requirements of my client.
1. He has highlighted Some words of the text and underlined some of the text. He wants that character format intact in spascript.How can I do that?
2. The script initaly was using Read_Text and was storing the value in a variable wa_line and was printing in script as
[LI ] DESCRIPTION: &wa_line&
so it was printing like
DESCRIPTION: fasfoihfaishfiahfiafhfihfahfiashfiahfahfiafiasfihahfisahfafasi
But now I am using INCLUDE command as follows
[LI] DESCRIPTION:
[: /] INCLUDE OBJECT BLAH BLAH
So it is printing like
DESCRIPTION:
fasfoihf
aishfiahfiafhfihfa
hfiashfiahfa
hfiafiasfihahfisahfafasi
I want to get them in same line.
I mean
DESCRIPTION: fasfoihf
aishfiahfiafhfihfa
hfiashfiahfa
hfiafiasfihahfisahfafasi
Is that possible?
Reward Point Guranteed.

Hi Anid,
When you are creating your standard text the default value in the tag column is *. If you change this value to = (Extended line) the display of standard text will start in the same line as the previous value (in your case it will display the standard text in the same line as DESCRIPTION:).
Hope this solves your problem!
Regards,
Saurabh
