Text module

Hi friends,
Could any one tell me what is "Text module" in Smartforms.
How we use them in Standard Smarforms .
With Regards,
Ramesh.

Hi ramesh,
In smartform there are three text types:
Text element : to enter new text in the PC editor
Text module : to include a text module
 Include text : to include an existing SAPscript text
The texts are displayed in the form using text nodes. The only exceptions are addresses. This uses its own node. The predecessor node of the text node determines its use:
Predecessor node Used to
Sub window Position text on one or more pages
Main window Display text in relation to other nodes in the main window,
 it may cover several pages
Template Displays texts for table cells of a static table
Table Display table contents
Header and footer Display column headings and grand totals in tables
Event node Display subtotals in a table
Including text modules:
Text module of the text node is used to refer to an existing text module in the system. The text modules can be used in two ways:
STEPS :
1) Refer to the text module. The text then appears read-only in the PC editor and
 is included when the form is printed.
2) Copy the text module. The system then copies the text of the module and
 automatically converts the text node into an editable text element.
3) To create a text node , call the context menu for that node in the tree
 structure that shall contain the text and choose create->text
4) Enter a unique name for the node and a description
5) On the general attributes tab select the text type text module
6) Enter the name of the text module in the text name field
reward points if useful....
thanks ,

Text from text module is not appearing in smartform output

Hi Experts,
We are using text modules in one of our smartform to print the sender text . The name of this text module is being dynamically determined during the execution and is coming correctly but still the the text inside the text module is not appearing in the output. We checked one more similar form which is working on the similar logic but calling a different text module , there it is working perfectly. I have tried all the possibilties like changing the window size, changing the fonts and other parameters of the text module but still its not appearing . This seems to be something unusual as in both the smartforms(one with text appearing from module and one without the text) the logic is exactly similar for getting the text module name. The name is getting determined in both the cases correctly and the text modules are also maintained in same manner for both these forms but text is appearing on one and not on other.
Kindly help if any one of you have also faced similar issue.
Regards

Hi Priyank,
There could be various reasons....
Wrong language for example
An easy way to prove this is, put the text direct into the smartforms and see, if it pops up immediately.
If so, you have to really debug this spot and see if the pased name is correct. (Copy paste it in the debugger, to be really sure, there could be a space in fornt or in the end...)
If that doesn't help, you have to share more details. Your question is not that very specific. You know

How to use the text module in script

hi,
i script how to use the text modules and how to write the code in layout of the script?

Hi,
You canr use text modules in script. You have to use standard texts .
Standard text are maintained in SO10 transaction.
you can create translation text for other languages also . So based on logon language it will print translation text.
go to SO10
give textname it say Ztextname id as ST and language as EN
say create, then you will get editor there maintain your text and save it . then come back . Now change language (say for german DE) say create and eneter translation text and save it.
so now you have created a text called ztextname which you can use in your script.
Inorder to insert the texts in your script do as below
go to any window editor and select path
Insert->texts->symbols->standard symbols
then you will get popup in which you have to mention all the parameters that you have created earlier.
after inserting just change language EN to sy-langu

E-recruitment 6.0 - Smart Form - Text Module - Qualifying Event

Hi all,
Once more a question:
E-recruitment 6.0
Smartforms with invitation letters (for example for an interview)
In the recruiter's portal we use a 'qualifying event' to 'set' an appointment' , date, time, place etc.
We use the input from this reference activity in the text module of the smartform.
The text module holds the main text of the letter.
The text from the module appears in the recruiters portal when the recruiter performs activity 'send letter' (act. type: invitation) so that he can add some text manually if he likes.
This functionality is in E-R6.0 since SP7
It goes well when the recruiter does not add anything manually. The variables load in the smartform and it works as wel wanted.
BUT when the recruiter manually changes the letter (the text module) in the recruiters portal, all variable are lost from the letter.
I hope someone can help me out.

You need to use the functionality "Changeable letter".

Print multiple pages of text module as Terms and Conditions at end of PO

Hello,
I have a text module that contains a two page terms and conditions to print as the last pages of a PO.
I have three pages
FIRST-->Calls NEXT
NEXT--> Calls NEXT with a command to LAST in the MAIN window
LAST-->Calls Last, has a MAIN Window and a regular window which calls text module
The text module only prints on the first page in the end of the PO(i.e.last page). It does not flow or create an additional page for the left over text in the text module.
Please advice.

Hi,
We have same situation. What I did was to introduce a new element in MAIN WINDOW ( by the way only FIRST & LAST pages are sufficient, no need to have additional page for printing Terms & Conditions ) in that element just have 2 lines viz.:
/: NEW-PAGE * Above command so that terms & conditions will always start from a new page.
/: INCLUDE ZPO_TERMS_AND_CONDITIONS OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE EN
If terms & conditions are more than a page it will automatically be printed on the next page. ( In our case currently we have got 5 pages of terms & conditions ).
At the end of the program i.e. When you are finished with printing of a PO just 'WRITE' this element using WRITE_FORM.
I hope this helps,

I want to create a TEXT MODULE in different language. For example, i created a Text Module in English language. I want to create in german with the same Text module name as in English language.
Example: Text module name ZTEST (EN) and ZTEST (DE).
Any help is appriciated.

Create text module at SO10 Transaction,first create En Language ,then use formatting options from Style transaction (SE72 - create paragraph format ,charcter format )..
again create same text module with diffrent language ,but same formatting option may not applicable,you have to use diffrent ones..

Text module constrained to single page?

I have added a page to the “standard” smart form for purchase order printing. The purpose is to print standard terms and conditions, which are stored in a text module. This should be a piece of cake I thought, but apparently not...
A command to go to the new page has been added at the end of the main window of the standard form.
If I put the text element in a main window on the page they are not printed at all. I would not hesitate to call that a bug, but for all I know Smart Forms are limited to having one window of type Main window in each form.
If I put the text element in a secondary window they are printed partly. There is one page of output, but the terms and conditions need two pages (or possibly more).
I have tried both with a single page for the terms and conditions, and having a YTERMS and YTERMS_CONT.
Any ideas are welcome, and good ideas or tips from people who have solved similar problems are of course extra welcome :-)

Hi Kjetil,
you should hold it in the MAIN-Window. To solve your problem and to be not limited with secondary windows you should do it in that way.
I just draw it here:
MAIN-Window
...<A lot of code_before>...
NEW-PAGE Command node
-Table with your prefered layout (If you need two columns or something like that)
--- here you include your text
So you are not limited in the pages and you are able to build the layout you need.
(Only limited in the width, because your MAINWindow must same width overall)
OR
you create different textes and do it with secondary windows, but here you have to figure out how much fits in what window and that might be end in a messy work if you use different device types.
Let me know, if something is not that clear and I will try to explain it more / offer an example-form

How to fetch the text dynamically from text modules

Hello All,
I have a requirement where the I need to print the Form in multiple languages. For this I have created textmodules and maintianed translations as well. But for Spanish and Portugese there are two version languages. For example Spain has Spain english and South American english, similarly Portugal Portugese and Brazilian portugese.
In se63 transaction, we dont have two versions.Only one of them is available.
Therefore I've created a custom table where in which I will mainted country.langauge and textmodule name as 3 coloumns. I have cretaed a FM
where in I pass the country and language as import params to get all the respective text modules.
Now I tried to move the textmodules to some some structure which I finally moved it to Context part in Adobe form.
Now I tried to create text module, by giving variable name in the text field. For example i have passed &st_dun_texts-email&.
It says text module does not exist.
I have also created using dynamic text.There field name would be passed.But In the output I am getting the Text module name but not the content inside the text module.
The actual content which is there in the text module should be printed
Can anyone please help me out on the above problem. ? It is urgent....!!!!!

you could use SET LOCALE LANGUAGE myLanguage - so you can switch to the desired language and all texts will selected from that language.

Variable field in Text module which is used in Adobe forms

Hi All,
I want to use text module in my Adobe form to display text .
Problem is that i want to insert a variable dynamically in text module i.e.
My text is:
For example : "In the period from &EMPLOYEE_DETAIL-PERIOD& you have not paid your tax:"
Now EMPLOYEE_DETAIL is a structure in context of form with period as field .
I want that data stored in this field should come in adobe,right now instead of data this text &EMPLOYEE_DETAIL-PERIOD& comes i.e. this is considered as text
I tried this with SO10 by clicking on the "add" icon, i am getting a pop up screen with the following option. can you please help me which option to select and how to define the variable?
Options given in pop up screen
1. Symbols,
2. Command,
3. Text Element,
4. Comment,
5. SAP Characters
6. Link
6.1 Char Format
6.2 Key
6.3 Text
if suppose i am using the wrong button please tell me where i can find this "add" button.
Thanks and Regards,
Karunakaran

Hi,
Use the floating field in Adobe.
Use a Static Text Field and Insert the Field EMPLOYEE_DETAIL-PERIOD from your Data View
Thanks.

Standard text / Text module not printed correctly in Adobe forms

Hi All,
I need to print the dunning level text which is static. I have created text module and standard text with the same static text.
In the content I have created the text with text module tyoe and given the text module name. Similarly I created the include text as well.
But the text is getting printed continously, eventhough I have maintained as paragraphs.
For Example: I have maintained text as    TEST1
                                                                   TEST2
                                                                   TEST3
Now the same format shud be printed in the output. But TEST1 TEST2 TEST3 is printed.
Can anyone help me out how to print the text as in the above case and what is the reason for not printing in paragraphs.
Thanks and Rewards,
Karthik Ganti.

Hi Kartik,
1. ead standard text by FM READ_TEXT.
2. Read text lines content Read internal table LINES into wa_lines.
Concat wa_lines-tdline into string separated by as CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>CR_LF.
Bind that String to variable to text.
That will display text as you create.

Problem related to language translation in Smartforms using Text Module.

I have done translation of text module from English (enUS) to Spanish (esSP) using SE63. In text node I have used this translated text module. Language of the node is selected as sy-langu. So when I logged into System in English language I should be able to see the output in English but it giving output in Spnaish. While debugging sy-langu value is 'E'.

hi,
You have a text in english and you have maintained the translation in Spanish, mention the original text in the SmartForm. in this way when your login lang is EN you will see that text in Eng and if the lang is Spanish you will see the translation in the output.
Thanks.

Smart form Text module translation and Standard text

Hi i have a requirement in smartforms in which i need to create text modules and transtale into diffrent languages.
I have created text modules they are in my transport,
when i am translating through SE63 into target language it is not asking for any transport request , Can any one help me regarding how i can assign Transaltion thing to my transport.
Another thing is i require to use standard text, i am not much aware of it also as per my understanding i need to create it through SO10 Transaction , and i can use it in include text please correct me if i am wrong, i need this standart text also in two language but while creating standard text it is not asking transport request, and how i would convert standard text in diff lang and how can i assign to my transport.
Surely i would provide points for the valid reply.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Gudia San,
To transport Standard text, use the standard Report Program RSTXTRAN, execute it, on the selection screen, enter your standard text name as
Text key - name, press F8, it will display a ouput list. Now press F5 key and it will ask for transport request number.

Abdul.
