Triggering of copies window in smartforms

Hi friends,
Can any one tell me how does the copies windows gets triggered ie : how does it process..
As per my knowledge after going through many links and sap help i came to know the main window gets triggered and secondary window gets triggered in the order in which we have defined in the left side node ie: the processing for main and secondary window will be done in the order in which we have defined in the page node and comming to fianl window it gets triggered when the processing is going on for the last time of the node...
But can any one tell me how does the copies window gets triggered and when...
Like say in a page the nodes are defined in the below way
PAGE
a) secondary window
b) copies window
c) main window
d) copies window
Now can any one tell me how this copies window gets triggered and how does it create the number of copies which are required using copies window.
Regards
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
Good question to ponder.. Well the answer is;
The trigger point for the copy window is from the output command. For eg : if i am tro have a simple smartform with 2 windows...1 as the main window and the nxt as a cpoy window both have a text element with different texts in each.
Now in the output options if you mention the number of copies to be printed in the specific printer is "1" then only the main window gets printed. If you provide the number of copies as"2" then there are 2 pages printed..One is only having the main window content and the second with copy window contect. The copy window content is based on teh "OUTPUT TO" option you select for the copy window general attributes.
Hope this helps!
Cheers!

Copies window

hi everyone,
i want to know how to use copies window in smartforms and
what exactly is the significance of it...
i read library about this but i didn't get the concept out of it.
please explain and the answers will be rewarded
thanks

Hi
You use the copies window to define an output area for the print output, whose content you want to appear either only on the copy or only on the original. This allows you to flag copies as copies when the form is printed.
further reference
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/b1/243fe0beee11d4b633006094192fe3/content.htm
If at we talk in short it makes us to differentiate between the Original copy and duplicate copy of the printed From.... By using SFSY-COPYCOUNT you can check or validate that whether it is a original copy or duplicate copy
Original Bill and Duplicate Bill the same case even applies here also.

Reg- windows in smartforms

Hi,
1) What is the difference between the copy and final window in smartforms?
2) What is the difference between at-selection screen output and initialization in reports?

Copies window:
You use the copies window to define an output area for the print output, whose content you want to appear either only on the copy or only on the original. This allows you to flag copies as copies when the form is printed.
Final window:
You may want to display or query values on the first page that are determined only during processing. For example, you may want to name the grand total in the letter text of an invoice. However, this amount is determined only after listing all individual items. Or you may want to query on the first page within a condition the total number of pages, which the system calculates only after processing all pages.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT
This is used to dynamically set the screen field attributes
initialization
this is used to set the default values to the scree fields.

Copies window printing in VF02/VF03 through output type

Dear Experts,
I have copied the standard smartform of the Invoice into YLB_BIL_INVOICE and i did the modification according to the client's requirement.
In YLB_BIL_INVOICE, i have taken one window type as Copies Window and i have chosen the radio button Original and Copies. In the window I wrote the code for Copies like Original, Factory Copy, Buyer Copy, Triplicate and Marketing Copy based on SFSY-COPYCOUNT checking. I haven't changed the standard program(RLB_INVOICE).
And I have assigned the smartform YLB_BIL_INVOICE and RLB_INVOICE in NACE settings. When I am viewing the print using VF02/VF03 with output type which configured by SD Consultant it is not showing the Copies means if I mention Number of Copies as 4 in print preview it is showing only single Page and when I gave the print with number of copies as 4 Pages are printing 4 copies but the name of the copies is same for all 4 pages like 1st page as Original and 2nd page as Original etc..
I debugged the code and i am getting NAST-ANZAL = 1. in program, I think it should be 4. Please give me some input to resolve this issue?
Thanks n Regards,
Muralikrishna

Hi,
I am not clear about the following context.

Where did you give the no of copies as 4? In the message or Print Dialog?
NAST-ANZAL is from message and OUTPUT_OPTIONS-TDCOPIES is from the Print Dialog. For copies window, no of copies is fetched through OUTPUT_OPTIONS-TDCOPIES (or the Print Dialog), thus SFSY-COPYCOUNT is changed accordingly .

Can we create graphic and text in the same window of smartform without using template?

we create graphic and text in the same window of smartform without using template?

Hi Kinjal,
as far as i understand you are talking about a template which you can partitioned and in one part you wants to show your graphics and in other part you wants to print your text, the border of template shall remain invisible.
If you wants to do it without using a template, you can do it as sujjested by Susmitha, but creating a template will provide you more flexibility that if you wants to change the attributes in future you can do it easily.

How print address in Single line in Address window in Smartform

Hi All,
How print address in Single line in Address window in Smartform?
Thanks in advance.
Message was edited by: Vipin Nagpal

Hi Vipin,
if u r defining the variables for the address manually,
then u can define all the fileds in a single line in the edit mode of address window u will get the address in the single line only
if u r using the standard format
modify the address format by using the user exit:
"EXIT_SAPLSADR_001"
Check OSS Note : 454987
or in the least case u can use the address window setting to change the format and lines
May be this will help you.

Print multiple copies of a smartforms in a one spool request

Dear all,
I've a network printer "HP Laserjet 4250" configured with an output accessory "Sheet Stapler/Stacker".
With these accessory all pages of the same spool are stapled together.
For transaction VL02N we would print n copies of the same delivery using smartforms in this printer, so all copies will be stapled.
The problem is that in SPAD Copy Counter options if we set the choice "Pass copy counter to the host spool system" only one copy is printed;
it seems that copy counter parameters has no effects.
If we set the choice "Pass copies as separate Output Requests", the spool system will send a separate print request for each copy of a document to be printed; but with this option multiple copies are not stapled since they belong to different spool.
SAP System is ERP 6.0 EHP5 based on windows /SQL 2008 and the last kernel patch.
Any idea to solve the problem ?
Thanks
Maurizio Manera

Hello,
By default the number of copies is transferred to the OS host spooler
and handled by it.
The flag to pass copies is set in the Output Device definition via
transaction SPAD as follows:
SPAD -> Output Device -> <Output Device name> -> Output Attributes ->
'Pass Copy Counter to Host Spool System'
Can you please change this flag to:
'Pass Copies as Separate Output Request(in SAP System)'

Question about main window in smartform

Hi, i have three different pages, i know that i can have only one main window.
But the data in the main window will be different for each page.
I copy the main window in the three pages.
But when i try to write abap code in the main window copy ( page 3 )
The smartform refresh the abap code in the page 1 and page 2.
So the 3 pages have the same code.
I want to have different abap code in each page ( in the main window copie for each page). Because i have three internal tables one table for each page.
