Text Element in SAP-Script and Box

Hi Gurus
Q1.what is the meaning of text element's in sap-script.e.g.
/E INSPECTION_STATION_INFO
/E SAMPLE_INFO
/E PHYS_SAMPLES_HEADLINE..
I have to use these elements in my script.i am not able to understand what does it mean?
Q2.how we can draw a Tabular format in Script?
Q3.How we can draw Box?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Text Elements
You can define text elements (window texts) for each window. On the Form: Request screen, choose Edit ® Text elements.
The print program accesses text elements by name, formats them and prints them in the respective window. That is, the program can decide which text elements should be printed in a particular window. It calls these text elements by name to print them. You must therefore change text element names in the print program if you make any changes to text element names in a form.
In the layout of a text element, you can use only the paragraph and character formats defined in the form.
Example of a text element in an order confirmation:
/E ITEM_LINE
IL &VBDPA-POSNR&,,&VBDPA-MATNR&,,&VBDPA-ARKTX&
/ &'Customerarticlenumber 'VBDPA-IDNKD' '&&'Position
/ 'VBDPA-POSEX&
This example shows a section of a main window of a form, with an item line of an order confirmation. The /E in the tag column is used to identify the text as a text element, ITEM_LINE is the name of the text element.
Default Text Element
At the start of a window, you can define a text element without the /E command in the paragraph format column. This text is always printed at the start of the window. It is not necessary to insert this text explicitly via a print program.

Boxes:
Use the following code
/: BOX XPOS 1 MM YPOS 2 MM WIDTH 20 MM HEIGHT 40 MM FRAME 10 TW.
Box is the command used for printing box in script.
XPOS - x- axis position
ypos - y axis position

Text element in sap script

Hi All
Y do we need Text element in SAP SCRIPT ?

yes you can.
are you using your own print program or a standard?
Each window will be called by the code so if you have no elements in there all the data is output in the order they appear in the form.

Dump error when clicked on text elements in SAP Script window

Hi All,
There is an inclusion in SAP Script. I have written the code in driver program. I need to pass the value to SAP Script in the requested position. But when I go to SE71 > Form Name > Change or Display > MAIN Window > Text Elements > I get a dump error.
Category               ABAP Programming Error
Runtime Errors         DATA_LENGTH_TOO_LARGE
Except.                CX_SY_RANGE_OUT_OF_BOUNDS
ABAP Program           SAPLSTXK
Application Component BC-SRV-SCR
Date and Time          30.04.2014 20:00:08
Short text
     Invalid partial field access: Length is too large
What happened?
     Error in the ABAP Application Program
     The current ABAP program "SAPLSTXK" had to be terminated because it has
     come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
What can you do?
     Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
     To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
     administrator.
     Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look
     at and manage termination messages, and you can also
     keep them for a long time.
Error analysis
     An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
     The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_RANGE_OUT_OF_BOUNDS', was not
      caught in
     procedure "TOKEN_COMMENT" "(FORM)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.
     Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
     exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    In the executed program "SAPLSTXK", the system attempted to access the field
    "ITF_TOKEN" of the type "C" and with the length 255 using the length 272.
    However, a partial field access with a length specification that is
    larger than the field length is not allowed.
How to correct the error
    Reduce the length used to access the field.
    If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
    find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
    If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following
    keywords:
    "DATA_LENGTH_TOO_LARGE" "CX_SY_RANGE_OUT_OF_BOUNDS"
    "SAPLSTXK" or "LSTXKFRN"
    "TOKEN_COMMENT"
    If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error
    notification to SAP, include the following information:
    1. The description of the current problem (short dump)
       To save the description, choose "System->List->Save->Local File
    (Unconverted)".
    2. Corresponding system log
       Display the system log by calling transaction SM21.
       Restrict the time interval to 10 minutes before and five minutes
    after the short dump. Then choose "System->List->Save->Local File
2937 * todo empty comment ???

How do I Hide the text printed from a standard Text Element in SAP Script?

Hi,
I have created one SAP Script which gets printed from IW33 using a standard print program.
In config the standrad SAP script is replaced by the zsap script.
Since the Zscript is printed from a Standard print program, I had to keep all the text elements used by the original(standard) SAP script.
I only kept the text elemets and commented out the printing part.
But still some values are printing. How do I hide these text element values?
I want to delete whatever its printing from these text element. Icant delete the standard text elemetns , otherwise the standard print program will give error.

Hi,
I am not printing any text under these text element in my zscript.
I had to include these standard text elemets as they are called from the standard print program using which my zscript is getting printed.
for example:
/E OPERATION
Under operation i didnot print anything. Still some values which are passed in text element Operation by the print program is being printed in the form. i want to hide/delete these values.
how do I do that?

String search in SAP Script and Smartforms

Hi All,
We have an urgent requirement where we need to search for a character string in all SAP Scripts and Smartforms in our system.
It would also help if we can get the names of programs/function modules which are internally generated for the same.
Any pointers on the same would be helpful.

You can create a variable window in the main window.
You can restrict the last item of the main window by varying the size of main window. In your wite-form ,
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
      EXPORTING
         element                  = 'ITEM'
      function                 = 'SET'
      type                     = 'BODY'
      window                   = 'MAIN'
      EXCEPTIONS
        element                  = 1
        function                 = 2
        type                     = 3
        unopened                 = 4
        unstarted                = 5
        window                   = 6
        bad_pageformat_for_print = 7
        spool_error              = 8
        codepage                 = 9
        OTHERS                   = 10.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
DO this. in the bottom of the main window, create a variable window.
you can add your text in the variable window inside main window.
it will be displayed just after the item ends.

How to use Text lements(/E) in Scripts and print program

Hi all,
I need to use Text elements from print program to Script output.
I have included the text element name in WRITE_FORM and defined in the script with (/E) also.
Still the data is not displaying.
Please let me know how to use the text elements.
thanks in advance..
Rakesh
<removed_by_moderator>
Edited by: Julius Bussche on Nov 25, 2008 10:08 AM

For printing the text directly on the formm the text element in form wud be as
/E ITEM_HEADER
MH Quantity,,,,Description,,UOM,,Net Weight,,Gross Weight
If you have variable define in the driver prog and you want to display,text elt. wud be as
/E ITEM LINE
MH &CONF_OUT-ATBEZ&,,&CONF_OUT-ATWTB&
where CONF_OUT is a structure with fields ATBEZ and ATWTB
MH is the paragraph format
Hope this clears your doubt.

What is the diff b/w Sap Scripts and Smart Forms

Hi,
Whats the diff b/w SAP Scripts and Smart Forms..
I need the internal explanation for both Smart Forms and SAP Scripts mean when we execute what happens whether Print Program r Forms starts execution 1st and SIMILARLY FOR SMARTFORMS WHETHER FM'S R FORMS.
Thanks & Regards,
Gopi.

Hi
Difference with SMARTFORMS vs. SapScript(SE71)
The Following are the differences :-
a) Multiple page formats are possible in smartforms which is not the case in SAPScripts
b) It is possible to have a smartform without a main window .
c) Labels cannot be created in smartforms.
d) Routines can be written in smartforms tool.
e) Smartforms generates a function module when activated.
f) Unlike sapscripts (RSTXSCRP), you cannot upload/download Smartform to your local harddisk.
It was said that it was provided in CRM 3.0 version, but not available in R/3. You can download smartforms into Local PC in a XML format. In the same way you can upload this XML format into Smartform. From the smartform editor itself you can call download option, if you are working in CRM 3.0 environment.
In R3 also, you can download into XML format. However, it's not sure about uploading. Refer to the program 'SF_XSF_DEMO'.
In 4.7 Enterprise, other have seen this utlity which is completey missing in 4.6c. There is functionality to downlaod a complete form or only a particular node. (Utilities -> Download form). It will create a XML file and save it in the hard disk.
For others, if you want to download/upload the Smartforms source, you will need the help from the Basis people. What you can do is to create a Transport and then FTP down to your local harddisk. When you need the Smartform source in another system, you have FTP up the Smartforms file back to the SAP server. Finally, the Basis team, will tp it into your system.
g) The protect and endprotect command in sapscript doesn't work with smartforms. For example on a invoice: First data of position no 80. is printed on page one, other data of position no 80 is printed on page 2. And there's nothing you can do about it. Actually, there is something you can do about it. By using a folder node and checking the 'protect' checkbox, everything in that folder will be page protected.

It will be of great help if some one can help me with the script and the alterations required in standard print program RFKORD10
Points will b rewarded for sure.
Thanks.

Hi Suganya,
The custom form is getting displayed properly. But the requirement is to have it as an editable PDF. So the functional team is working on configuring the settings of PDF forms with customers email address.
But for right now, i customized the standard form F140_ACC_STAT_01 and standard print program RFKORD10_PDF and did the configuration. It is getting displayed (I tested only with the transaction FBL5N - customer open line items..)
Please let me know any further details on this.

Regarding debugging in sap script and smart forms

hi guys,
can any one tell me what are the different steps and options available to debug a SAP SCRIPT and a SMARTFORM.
thank you very much
pavan

There is a transaction 'SMARTFORMSTRACE' (or was it 'SMARTFORMS_TRACE') which will give you quite helpful information.
Try!
Sorry: Correct name is SMARTFORM_TRACE. You have lots of options for adequate analysis.
