OPEN_FORM SAPscript: Open form printing

to only preview the form: options-tdpreview='X' (options- tdnoprint forbids print even from preview)

to get OTF data instead of printing: options-tdgetotf='X'

to output OTF data to memory buffer instead of printing: device='OTF_MEM'

CLOSE_FORM SAPscript: End layout set printing

spool #: result-tdspoolid

OTF data: otfdata (when options-tdgetotf='X' in

CONTROL_FORM SAPscript: Control form

output issue command to the form, e.g.

exporting command = 'NEW-PAGE'

output: table of structure TLINE (OTF saved to memory buffer by OPEN_FORM)

Hi,

They are two ways to debug the SAPScript.

1). Use Tools - Word Processing - Layout Set (SE71). Enter name of layout set and then Utilities - Activate Debugger.

It is of no consequence which layoutset you enter when selecting the SAPscript debugger. (Menu path: Tools-Wordprocessing - Forms, Utilities - Activate Debugger) The next layoutset called will invoke the debugger.

2). Another way to set the SAPScript debugger is to run program RSTXDBUG.

When you debug Print program it is same as you debug any other ABAP program. While when you debug SAPScript, you actually debug the code ( scripting) you have written SAPScript Form.

How to debug a SAPSCRIPT form?

Check this thread

What is the DB Start_form and Open_Form?

CHECK THIS THREAD

What is Control form?

To pass control statements, such as an unconditional page break, use function module CONTROL_FORM. Control statements are always directed to the main window of the form, where the system interprets and executes them immediately.
