Text-element in main window

Hello together,
is it sorrect, that text-elements can only be used in the main window?
Is there any chance to use text-elemnts in a new-created window?
an example that does not work:
new window: TABLE
call in print-program:
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
        EXPORTING
          element = 'ITEM_GR'
          window = 'TABLE'.
Unfortunately i need a new window with a possibility to print several text-elements.
Thanks a lot for help.

Hi Marcel,
In one of my developments, i've created text elements in the windows other than MAIN window. But it worked properly. I think there might be some other reasons for ur failure. Try to trace that.
Or else u just try by changing the Window type as CONST.
Try this out & let me know in case of any other concrens..

Hi,
Are you testing that from in same client where you developed, else make sure that after each change you need to transport the form to testing client.
second thing is check with code did you mention the same text element in window editor and in the program.

How to display standard text element of main window in next page

hi all
In scripts we have standard script medruck for purchase order.
i want to pull text elements ( terms and payment terms ) in to main window of next page.
i have included main window in page windows of next page ,but im unable to print text elements of terms and payment terms in next page...
any one give your valuable inputs.
Thanks
deepika.

Hi deepika,
First copy standard MEDRUCK to ZMEDRUCK and do the necessary changes.
Then check in driver program when exactly Terma and condition text element is called. Generaly its after printing all items but just check once to confirm.
If TERMS and condition element is called ate end just put a NEW-PAGE command at end of the text element which is called before terms.
Hope this will help You.
Thanks

Short dump when trying to see the text elements of main window

Hi ,
The form is running properly in 4.7 c . But when the same is copied in ECC5.0 (unicode) , i 'm getting short dump while trying to see the TEXT ELEMENTS .
The message is like ' trying to create a field with zero length'.

Jytoi.

hi
I've never worked on ECC 5.0 version..however, I can only tell u that this could be the issue that code written in 4.7 may not be supported in 5.0..so try to get a good idea of ECC 5.0 before u start coding in this..

Two Elements in Main Window

Hello,
I am working on sapscript. MAIN window has two elements ( Order Info, Carrier Info. ) First page display only 1 - 10 records for each element in Main Window.
( In my scenario, it's possbile the either one of the element may have more then 10 record but 11th record should print in that section of Next Page )
Next page should display starting with record 11 on subsequent elements. How can i accomplish this scenario.
I apperciate your help.
Thanks
Hitesh

Hi,
in driver program, count the sy-tabix if it reaches '11', then call the FM 'CONTROL_FORM' and in the command give 'NEW-PAGE' and then call the WRITE_FORM of 2nd element.
write code like below in ur driver program.
eg:
data : gv_tabix.
LOOP AT itab.
gv_tabix = sy-tabix.
IF sy-tabix LE 10.
   call function 'WRITE_FORM'
    EXPORTING
      element = element1
    EXCEPTIONS
    ENDIF.
    IF gv_tabix GT 10.
       call function 'CONTROL_FORM'
         exporting
            command = 'NEW-PAGE'.
       clear gv_tabix.
    ENDIF.
    IF sy-tabix GT 10.
       call function 'WRITE_FORM'
    EXPORTING
      element = element2
    EXCEPTIONS
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
dont forget to give NEXT PAGE for first page as 'FIRST PAGE' name.
Hope it resolves

How to Print text in two main windows

For printing label have created two main windows on a page. calling function write_form In ABAP Program under do loop for two times.
but program prints only one window. why is it so? how can i print text on two windows.
do 2 times.
COUNT = COUNT + 1.
loop at itab WHERE DEPTT LT 200.
    CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
      EXPORTING
        ELEMENT = 'TEST'
        FUNCTION = 'SET'
        TYPE     = 'BODY'
      WINDOW   = 'MAIN'
      EXCEPTIONS
       ELEMENT   = 1
       FUNCTION = 2
       TYPE      = 3
       UNOPENED = 4
       UNSTARTED = 5
       WINDOW    = 6
       OTHERS    = 7.
endloop.
enddo.
Please guide.

Since the information is variable and coming out of the print program, I can assume you want to print many labels but two to a page. Also, any page numbering, etc will need to be updated. This is easily accomplished with SAPScript but a feature people rarely use I believe. Here are the simple steps:
1) On the Windows Screen: Creat a main window for the size of the label, etc knowing that you will be putting multiple windows on a page. For example, if page size is 8.5 x 11, maybe your window size is 6 X 4 or something similar. You only need one main window defined.
2) Now go to Page Windows Screen. Add a window MAIN and down at the bottom where it says Window Type put in MAIN. Next to this field is a little field about two characters long. In here put in '01'.
3) Now Add another window MAIN and down at the bottom put in '02'.
Hopefully this gives you the idea. I've done this with up to 30 small windows in order to print variable window for labels on label stock such as Avery 8167, etc.
Good Luck!

What is the difference between Constant Window, Variable Window,Main Window

hello all
what is the difference between 1) Constant Window
2) Variable Window
3) Main Window in SAP SCRIPT

Hi,
Window Types
When defining a form window, you must select a window type for the window.
You can choose between three types:
Constant Windows (CONST)
Variable Windows (VAR)
Main Windows (MAIN)
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.
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.
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.
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.
If a page does not have a main window, the system implicitly processes all other windows of the page and continues with the subsequent page.
This page must not call itself as subsequent page (recursive call), since this would produce an endless loop.
In such a case, SAPscript terminates the output after three subsequent pages.
For printing header lines or totals, the different output areas of the main window are of special importance.

Box in MAIN window of sapscript keeps misaligning...

Hello Experts,
I am currently modifying a sapscript and inside the MAIN window, there is a box command that 'boxes' a
static text. But the problem is, the box misaligns since the number of line items is dynamic.
So, how can I make the box command to just 'box' the static text correctly even though the line item is
dynamic?

HI,
Declare the Box and Static text in the main window with a new text element after the text element of the line items . so it will print it in the end when all of the Line items are printed..
(or)
Just create another script with the BOX and the text you want inside the BOX. i.e. this becomes another script which is separate from the line items you are printing there.
call this script in your driver program with start_form FM.
REPORT YTEST_SCRIPT.
DATA:
ITAB TYPE TABLE OF SFLIGHT,
FS TYPE SFLIGHT.
SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT INTO TABLE ITAB.
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'

         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
CALL FUNCTION 'END_FORM'.      "---------->Ends the previous form
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
CALL FUNCTION 'START_FORM'    "------------> Starts your new script with BOX and Static text
EXPORTING
    FORM                   = 'ZSCRIPT_TEST1'.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
EXPORTING
    ELEMENT                        = 'TEST'
    WINDOW                         = 'MAIN'.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
This will print the BOX and the Static text in a new page after the line items got printed..
This will solve your issue...
Thanks&Regards

What is the use of MAIN WINDOW in SCRIPTS

what is the use of MAIN WINDOW in SCRIPTS, y we con't create a script w/o main window.
Title was edited by:
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 in SAP Script

Hi Guys,
I wanted to know as to why is it possible to create multiple main window in SAP Script.
      In most theory it is written a SAP Script can only use 1 main window, If thats the case why is it still possible to create more than 1 of them.
      Can you explain its use and functionality.
Helpful answers will be duly rewarded.

Suppose you have requirement that you r displaying data from two line item tables which can flow multiple pages.

Hi,
Can we print a internal table data in a window which is a VARIABLE Window in SAP Script? my requirement is not to print in MAIN Window.
Thanks in Advance,

Hi,
You can do that.But main window is must.
Create a text element and please check it maynot overflow if so data will be truncated.
For not printing main window :
Do one thing set the main window margint to the botom of the form.
Then create a text element in main element
