What is sap script and layout set?
Ans - SAPscript is the integrated text
management system of the SAP R/3 System. SAPscript is tightly integrated into
the SAP System. It is used for many different word-processing tasks all over
the SAP System.
What
is layout set?
A layout set in SAPscript is used for
page layout. The layout set contains various elements, which are used for
layout control of the individual pages and also contain layout information for
texts which are to be output on the individual pages.
The layot of a document is defined in a
layot set.
A layout set specified the appearance
and structure of a document.
Layout sets contain predefined text
modules with space reserved for variable data.
You can use these text modules for different application.
Every SAPscript document uses a layout
set.
To make changes to your documents, such
as moving a piece of text, or changing fonts, paragraph formats, and tabs, you
only need to change the layout set.
There are two ways of formatting texts using layout sets:
The text is entered and output in
standard text maintenance. You can assign any layout set. Text can also be entered via the layout
set a
letter header, for example.
The text is formatted via an ABAP/4
program using a layout set. The program can either dynamically output
individual predefined text modules, text elements or transfer entire texts,
which are to be output in the layout set.
You can use Styles to define the formatting of the text in your documents. A style
determines
text formatting by setting the paragraph and character formats used in a
document. You can, for example, use a style to
highlight character strings or whole
paragraphs. You can assign a style to any text. Typically, however, you’ll use styles
primarily in
the main windows of layout sets, where users type or enter text directly
in documents.
Header data is found
in both style and layout set maintenance.
In style maintenance, it is used
primarily to present important information -
designed to make it easier for the end user to select a style. The header data in layout set maintenance, on
the other hand, is used for information and control purposes.
Windows are defined in layout set
maintenance. They represent areas
which are positioned on pages as page windows and in which text is
later output. At least one window must be defined for each
layout set. If
not, a text cannot be formatted by SAP
script.
The following window types can be used:
MAIN – Main window in which continuous text is output. This is the window used by dialog users of a
print program and layout set. For
example the body text of a letter would be entered in MAIN.
VAR – Window with variable contents. The text can vary on each page in which the
window is positioned. Variable windows
are formatted for each page.
CONST – Window with constant contents which is only formatted
once.
A layout set has the following elements:
Header data - Data related to
development (created by, development class, etc.) and layout set information (which elements
are used) are both stored in the header data.
A start page must be entered here.
Paragraph formats - Paragraph formats are required in
layout sets - as in styles - in order to
format texts. However, they are also
used for word processing in layout sets, for example, to format text elements.
Character formats - You can also use character formats
to format texts or paragraphs. Unlike paragraph formats, however, they are used
to format text within a paragraph.
Windows -
Windows are names and window types, which are not physically positioned until
they are allocated to pages and units of measurement are specified.
Pages - Pages are defined to provide the system with a start and
end point in text formatting.
Page windows - Page windows are the combination of windows and pages,
where the dimensions of a window and its position on a page are specified.
The purpose of SAP script control commands is to allow control of the
output formatting. These commands are not interpreted by the
SAPscript
editor, but are passed through to the
SAPscript Composer for processing. The
composer is the program that converts
text from the form displayed in the editor to
the form used for printing.
What is SAPscript and explain its purpose?
SAP Script is the SAP system’s own
text-proessing system. You’ll find that
it looks and feels a lot like other leading text-processing system that you may
use on your personal computer.
Every company needs to output documents
with a uniformly defined layout (eg. Invoices, delivery notes, etc..) all the
time.
The basic layout of the document is
pre-defined , but in many cases, other data has to be merged with it, such as
address data or purchase order items.
This data might be entered manually by a employee, or retrieved from a
database table.
Large quantities of these documents
have to be produced. From printing is
usually a mattter of large print runs of documents such as payslips, checks,
order confirmation, reminders etc.
SAPscript has been developed to meet
the above requirements. IT is an
integrated tool for text entry and form printing in R/3 applications.
These documents are normally provided
by SAP but every organization have their unique waqys of these documents so to
customize these and for creating newer ones if required; SAP script is used.
What
are components of SAPscript?
Layout set, SAPscript Text, ABAP Print
program , symbols, function modules like open_form, close_From, Read_text etc,.
What are the ABAP/4 Commands that link to a layout set?
Call function OPEN-form.
Call function WRITE-from.
Call function CLOSE-from
Importing Graphics (Logos) into SAPScript
The program RSTXLDMC can be used to
upload graphics (file extension .tif on PC files) into individual standard
text.
Other useful programs for SAPScript
RSTXFCON - Converts page format
RSTXSCRP - Upload/Download layout sets
RSTXDBUG - SAPScript debugger
Debug SAPScript
You can debug a SAPScript: Use Tools -
Word Processing - Layout Set.
Enter name of layout set and then
Utilities - Activate Debugger.
It is of no consequence which
layout set you enter when selecting the
SAPscript debugger. (Menu path: Tools-Word-processing - Forms, Utilities -
Activate Debugger) The next layoutset called will invoke the debugger. This is
quite handy when verifying which layoutset is being called (Verifying
customizing settings).
Another way to set the SAPScript
debugger is to run program RSTXDBUG.
When a Form is copied from one client to another .And If U try to
display or change the form in the copied client .The possible error message cud be :
1.Form not found
Try coping again
specifing the language .
2.IF IT dispalys an
error message saying That the text file is inconsistent .
Then go to SE38 and
Run “RSTXCHKO” .
It will ask for the
form name ,then check all the checkboxes and then run the program.
Note : all Script
related problems can be solved using Program ‘RSTX*’.
How to take a back up of script layout into U’r hard disk and load it later
Use Program RSTXSCRP.
Use EXPORT mode, when downloading
and IMPORT when uploading a script. Don’t forget to give the form name in the object field. This will create a
script with the same name as that of the original script . If a script with the
same name exists in the same client ,then it will give an error ‘Object cannot
be overwritten ’ .
I want to copy table across clients
Use Program RSCLTCOP
To transfer script files across systems (Not Clients) - RSTXSCRP
To compare the contents of a table across clients: RSTBSERV
To change the development class of any object - RSWBO052
What type of variables normally used in sap script to output
data?
&Tables name- fields&.
How do you number pages in sap script layout outputs?
& page &
&next Page
&
What takes most time in SAP script programming?
Defining layout set up / sets.
How do you use tab sets in layout sets?
Define paragraph with defined tabs.
How do you backup sap script
layout sets? Can you download and upload? How?
SAP script backup :- In transaction
SE71 goto Utilities -> Copy from client -> Give source form name, source
client (000 default), Target form name.
Download :- SE71, type form name ->
Display -> Utilities -> form info -> List -> Save to PC file.
Upload :- Create form with page,
window, pagewindow with the help of downloaded PC file. Text elements for Page
windows to be copied from PC file.
What is Compare Tool in SAP Script ?
SAP Script offers tools for comparing objects across clients.
We can compare or copy the following kinds of objects.
Styles
Layout sets
Documents
With the Compare tool we can do the
following :
Check whether an object exists in both
clients
Display the differences between the
versions of an object
Layout Sets are used to control page layout and
text formatting in documents .
SAP Standard styles and layout sets are always held in
Client 000.
In what format does
SAP Script store text ?
SAPscript texts are stored in
Interchange Text Format (ITF). SAPscript
offers conversion programs for the text file formats Rich Text Format (RTF) and
ASCII as an interface to other word processors.
The various window types in SAP Script are
Main, Variable and Constant.
The New-Page command is used to force a Page break in the
text at any point.
Protect ... Endprotect command pairs can be nested (True /
False).
False.
Delimiter & must be used immediately before and
after the symbol.
What does the composer do?
The final appearance of your documednt
depends on interaction between the print program and the layout set.
The SAPscript print program initializes
the printing process. Every command
entered using the SAPscript programming interfaces is transferred to the
composer.
The composer received layout
information from the layout set specified by the print program. The documents are formatted according to this
layout information.
If the documents contain variables, the
compoer replaces these variables with data from the R/3 system, such as the
current date, or with the userdata selected by the print program.
The print program controls the
completion of thelayout set. Once this
is done, the composer places the completed document in the spool.
Where do we define Tab space for data in SAPScript?
When defining the paragraph for the
text element we can define the TABS then.
There is parameter called TABS to be defined in paragraph definition.
what is difference between Window & a Page Window?
Window: An area that is predefined in
the layout set. Windows are text
modules, which are positioned on a document page.
We define the window type, Default
Paragraph, specify the text elements or a SAPscript text to be included etc in
the Windcow Component.
PageWindow: we define the parameters of
the earlier defined Window, appearance on the document like left or right
margins, Width & Height.
What are symboles & state their different types with
E.g.
A Symbol is a constant, which can be
inserted in a document. It saves the
user unnecessary work when replacing sections of text, phrases, etc. Each symbol has a name which is encloses by
&.
Eg. &variable name &
System symbols eg &Date&,
&time& etc.
Standard symbols :Standard symbols are
user-defined. They are maintained
centrally in table TTDTG. Eg. &SGDH& for the opening salutation : “dear
sir/madam”.
&MFG& for the closing
salutation :”yours Faithfully”.
Program Symbols : Program symbols
display data from the ABAP/4 program which has called the word processing
function Eg. Itab-connid.
Text symbols: You can define a text
symbol for any text module. This symbol
is valid only in the text module for which you have defined it. Eg. Define &Symbol& = ‘value’.
How do we define Text symbols?
Using the control command DEFINE
&x1& = ‘56’.
State few control commands?.
Protect .. endprotect, define,
new-page, include.. if… endif.
what is the purpose
of “Protect and EndProtect”?.
You can specify either in the style or
in the layout set that a particular paragraph should not be slit in two by a
page beak. If the page protect attribute is set then the complete paragraph is
always output ona single page. This
property applies only to that particular paragraph. SAPScript provides the PROTECT… ENDPROTECT
command pair to allow you to define the areas to be protected against a page
beak on an individual basis. Thus the
PROTECT/ENDPROTECT commands may be regarded as a kind of conditional NEW-PAGE
command, the condition being whether or not the lines enclosed between the two
commands fit in the space remaining in the current main window.
How do we set the date, time format?
SET TIME MASK : CONROLS THE TIME FIELD
FORMAT.
SET DATE MASK : CONTRLS THE DATE FIELD
FORMAT.
EG. Set Time Mask = “ HH:MM:SS”.
what is the role of an ABAP progrm in SAPScript?
Retrieves R/3 application data from the
database.
Defines the layout set processing logic
( The order and repetition of text elements).
Chooses a layout set for printing.
Selects the output device, such as
printer,monitor, or fax.
Sets print attributes such as immediate
output, number of copies ,and pages to beprinted.
How to reuse some components of the script layout to other
program?
Is this script layout is standard for all the printer? If
not then y we are going for script
layout?
Give me couple of methods that I will take standard script
layout printout for different printer.
How u will analysis script program? ( which goes to main and
how many windows etc….)
Can V inserted
logo on your program?. Give me the program name which uploads my logo and
syntax for logo inserting in sap script.
Yes u can insert a logo on your script
layout.
Use this Report “RSTXLDMC” which will uploads the logo.
Use the following statement which
includes the logo on your script prog.
/: INCLUDE 'ZHEX-MACRO-XXX' OBJECT TEXT
ID ST LANGUAGE 'E'.
XXX – object name, u will gives @
runtime in rstxldmc program.
Give me syntax for box command.
BOX XPOS 2 MM WIDTH 0
CM HEIGHT '9.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
Script Commands.
Defining a variable
DEFINE &CUST& = '00000021'.
Define and insert a standard text:
Standard texts is predifined textst
that can be used in more than one form. Standard texts are can be created,
changed and displayed using transaction SO10.
The text ID is used to callsify texts.
To include a stadard text in a form,
use the INCLUDE command:
/: INCLUDE Z_BC460_EX4_HF OBJECT TEXT
ID SDVD
When formatting the standard text the
PARAGRAPH parameter is used. To center the text use:
/: INCLUDE Z_BC460_EX4_HF OBJECT TEXT ID
SDVD LANGUAGE EN PARAGRAPH C.
Formatting addresses
The ADDRESS-ENDADDRESS command formats
addresses according to the postal norms of the recipient's country, as defined
in the
country parameter.
ADDRESS DELIVERY PARAGRAPH AD
NAME &KNA1-NAME&
STREET &KNA1-STRAS&
POSTCODE &KNA1-PSTLZ&
CITY &KNA1-ORT01&'
COUNTRY &KNA1-LAND1&
FROMCOUNTRY 'DE'
ENDADDRESS
Avoiding pagebreaks in a paragraph
/: PROTECT
:
:
/: ENDPROTECT
The text lines to be protected are
enclosed between the two commands
Conditonal text ouput IF - ENDIF
You can use IF/ENDIF like in a normal
ABAP program
/: IF condition
:
:
/: ENDIF
and
/: IF condition
:
/: ELSE
:
/: ENDIF
Example:
/: IF &SPFLI-CITYTO& =
"BERLIN"
..... put some text here
/: ENDIF
Symbols and Control commands
Symbols are placeholders for values
that are inserted during print formatting.
Symbols are indentified by name
surrounded by "&" and are not case sensitive
Types of symbols
System symbols
DATE Date
DAY Day
NAME_OF_DAY Name of day
MONTH Month
YEAR Year
TIME Time
HOURS Hours
MINUTES Minutes
SECONDS Seconds
PAGE Page number
NEXTPAGE Number of next pagre
DEVICE Output device
SPACE Blank space
ULINE Underline
VLINE Vertical line
Standard symbols
Standard symbols are user defined and
are maintained in table TTDG(table is
not available???). You use transaction SM30 to change or display standard
symbols.
An examples of standard symbols is
&MFG& fot "Yours faithfully"
Standard text
Standard texts is predifined texts that
can be used in more than one form. Standard texts are can be created, changed
and displayed using transaction SO10.
The text ID is used to classify texts.
To include a standard text in a form,
use the INCLUDE command:
/: INCLUDE Z_BC460_EX4_HF OBJECT TEXT ID
SDVD
When formatting the standard text the
PARAGRAPH parameter is used. To center the text use:
/: INCLUDE <name>
<Parameter>
<parameter> = Object, ID,
Language, Paragraph
Example:
/: INCLUDE Z_BC460_EX4_HF OBJECT TEXT
ID SDVD LANGUAGE EN PARAGRAPH C.
Name: Z_BC460_EX4_HF
Object: Text
Text id: SDVD (Text id from SO10)
Language: EN
Paragraph: C (Centered)
Tip: You can use menu
Insert->Text->Standard to make it easier to insert the text
Program symbols
Program symbols are for contents of
database fields or global program symbols. When you print the form, data from
the database tables are printed isntead of the symbols.
In the print program:
TABLES: kna1.
In the form:
&KNA1-NAME1&
Formatting
&SYMBOL& No formatting
&SYMBOL+4& Offset - Output begins here. Offset refers to formatted
value
&SYMBOL(5)& Length - Output data in the specified length
&SYMBOL(I)& Suppress initial value - If the field has been
initialized, nothing is output
&SYMBOL(Z)& Suppress leading zeros
&SYMBOL(C)& Compress blank spaces - Consecutice spaces are compressed
into a single space. Leading spacesare suppressed.
&SYMBOL(R)& Right align output
&SYMBOL(S)& Operators are suppressed
&SYMBOL(*)& Dictionary length - The data length is defined by the ABAP
dictionary
&SYMBOL(8.2)& Decimal format. Length 8 decimals 2
&'text1'SYMBOL'text2'& Text can be inserted before and after the
symbol
Control commands
Control command are used to modify text
output. Use format key /: in the format column.
/: INCLUDE
/: DEFINE
/: ADDRESS....ENDADDRESS
/: PROTECT.....ENDPROTECT
/: NEW-PAGE
/: IF....ENDIF
/: CASE...ENDCASE
Examples of control commands
INCLUDE
INCLUDE name <parameter>
Parameters:
OBJECT E.g. TEXT, DOKU (Document), DSYS
(Hypertext).
ID Text ID -Text ID is a way to group
texts - Se transaction SO10
LANGUAGE If the parameter is not
specefied, the logon language will be used
PARAGRAPH The text to be included is
formatted using the style allocated. The PARAGRAPH parameter can be used to
redefine the standard paragraph for this style for the current call. All
*-paragraphs in the included text will then be formatted using the paragraph
specified here.
Object
ID
Language
Paragraph
Standard texts are maintained in
transaction SO10.
Example 1:
You have created a standard text in
SO10 Named MYTEXT and with Text Id ST
/: INCLUDE MYTEXT OBJECT text ID st
Example 2:
You can also use a dynamic name so that
you can retreive a ext depeding of the name variable:
/: INCLUDE &SCUSTOM-NAME& text
ID st.
Depending on the name in the variable
&SCUSTOM-NAME& different texts will be shown. Note that a text with the
name in the variable &SCUSTOM-NAME& name must be created in SO10.
DEFINE
/: DEFINE &SYMBOL& = 'String1
String2'
/: DEFINE &CUST& = '00000021'.
ADDRESS-ENDDRESS
The ADDRESS-ENDADDRESS command formats
addresses according to the postal norms of the recipient's country, as defined
in the
country parameter.
/: ADDRESS DELIVERY PARAGRAPH AD
/: NAME &KNA1-NAME&
/: STREET &KNA1-STRAS&
/: POSTCODE &KNA1-PSTLZ&
/: CITY &KNA1-ORT01&
/: COUNTRY &KNA1-LAND1&
/: FROMCOUNTRY 'DE'
/: ENDADDRESS
Time Date and decimal format
Examples:
/: SET TIME MASK = 'HH:MM'
/: SET DATE MASK = 'DD.MMMM.YYYY'
/: SET COUNTRY 'USA'
Frames, lines and shading
BOX
Draws a box
Syntax:
/: BOX <xpos> <ypos>
<width> <height> <frame> <intensity>
The intensity is the grey scale of the
box as %. The frame parameters is the thickness of the frame. Default is 0.
Each of the paramteters ypos, xpos,
width, height and frame muts be followed of the measurement unit:
TW (twip)
PT (point)
IN (inch)
MM (millimeter)
CM (centimeter)
LN (line)
CH (character).
Examples:
/: BOX XPOS '11.21' MM YPOS '5.31' MM
HEIGHT '10' MM WIDTH '20' MM INTENSITY 10 FRAME 0 TW
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW
Draws a frame around the current window
with a frame thickness of 10 TW (= 0.5 PT).
/: BOX INTENSITY 10
Fills the window background with
shading having a gray scale of 10 %.
/: BOX HEIGHT 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
Draws a horizontal line across the
complete top edge of the window.
/: BOX WIDTH 0 TW FRAME 10 TW
Draws a vertical line along the
complete height of the left hand edge of the window.
/: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT 1 CM
FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 15
/: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT '13.5' CM
FRAME 10 TW
/: BOX XPOS '10.0' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT
'13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
/: BOX XPOS '13.5' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT
'13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW
Draws two rectangles and two lines to
construct a table of three columns with a highlighted heading section.
POSITION and SIZE
You can use the POSITION and SIZE
commands to set default parmeters for a box. This can be usefull if you have
several boxes that share the same parameters.
Example:
/: POSITION XORIGIN '11.21' YORIGIN
'5.31' MM
/: SIZE HEIGHT '2' MM WIDTH '76' MM
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 10
If you want to set the position
realtively to the window use POSITION WINDOW to set the position to the
top/left start of the window. Then use POSITION to set the current position
relatively to the start of the Window. Note that
you uses "+" or "-"
in the ORIGIN position to the set the position relatively.
/: POSITION WINDOW
/: POSITION XORIGIN '+5' MM YORIGIN
'+10' MM
the position is now 5 MM from the left
and 10 MM from the top of the window.
NOTE: After using the position command
you can move the current position realtively to the last used position
/: POSITION XORIGIN '+10' MM YORIGIN
'+20' MM
Now the position will be X = 15 and Y =
30
Drawing a line
You can draw a line by setting the
Height or Width of a box to 0 and add a frame. E.g. a horizontal line:
/: SIZE HEIGHT '0' MM WIDTH '200' MM
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW XPOS '11.21' MM YPOS
'14.81' MM INTENSITY 100
Window and Page
WINDOW sets the values for the width
and height to the values of the current window (default setting).
PAGE Sets the values for the width and
height to the values of the current output page.
Examples:
/: SIZE WINDOW
Sets WIDTH and HEIGHT to the current
window dimensions.
/: SIZE WIDTH '3.5' CM HEIGHT '7.6' CM
Sets WIDTH to 3.5 cm and HEIGHT to 7.6
cm.
/: POSITION WINDOW
/: POSITION XORIGIN -20 TW YORIGIN -20
TW
/: SIZE WIDTH +40 TW HEIGHT +40 TW
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW
A frame is added to the current window.
The edges of the frame extend beyond the edges of the window itself, so as to
avoid obscuring the leading and trailing text characters.
61. Calling a form from SapScript

You could also fill the ouput parameter table this way
READ TABLE out_par WITH KEY 'NAME1'.
out_par-value = l_name1.
MODIFY out_par INDEX sy-tabix.

62. Structure of a print program
The print program is used to print
forms. The program retieves the necesary data from datbase tables, defines the
order of in which text elements are printed, chooses a form for printing and
selects an output device and print options.
Open form printing - Must be called
before working with any of the other form function modules.
call function 'OPEN_FORM'.....
Must be ended with function module
CLOSE FORM
*To begin several indentical forms
containing different data within a single spool request, begin each form using
START_FORM, and end it using END_FORM
call funtion 'START_FORM'.....
Write text elements to a window of the
form
call function 'WRITE_FORM'.....
Ends form
call funtion 'END_FORM'.....
Closes form printing
call function 'CLOSE_FORM'....
Examples of function calls
OPEN FORM

63. CONTROL_FORM - Calling Commands
Using a program
The function module CONTROL_FORM can be
used to create SapScript control statements from within an ABAP program.
Example:
call function 'CONTROL_FORM'
EXPORTING
COMMAND = 'PROTECT'.
call function
'WRITE_FORM'.....................
call function 'CONTROL_FORM'
EXPORTING
COMMAND = 'ENDPROTECT'.
Styles
Styles are used to predefine paragraph
and character formats for forms. SAP provides several standard styles e.g. for
Address includes, on-line documentation and so on. You can define your own
styles.
To find styles, create styles and
maintaine styles, use transaction SE72.
You assign style to a text by using
menu Format -> Style
You can make temporary style changes
using the control command /: STYLE
Using graphics in SapScript
Use transaction SE78 to inmport
graphics to SAP.
In the form painter, you can either
include directly to the form using menu Edit->Graphic->Create or using
the INCLUDE statement in a window.
To use an INCLUDE stanment, goto into
the woindow script editor and use menu Include->Graphic. The include can
look like this for a bitmap:
/: BITMAP MYLOGO OBJECT GRAPHICS ID
BMAP TYPE BMON
Modifications
Considerations in connection with
modifications
The standard SAP print program should
only be changed when it is absolutely necessary. If additional data is needed,
these can in many cases be retrieved using a a PERFORM statement in the form
instead of changing the print program..
There can be the following reasons to
change the print program:
Structureal changes
New text eloements are needed
Print program to be used to print
additional forms
Determine/change which forms and
printprograms that are used for printing
The forms and print programs for a
given output type and application can be found in table TNAPR Processing
programs for output
Use view V_TNAPR in (Transaction SE30)
to change entries.
Import/Export SapScript form from PC file
Use ABAP program: RSTXSCRP
SD - Finding the name of the print program
For SD dopcuments you can use table
TNAPR top find the name of the a
