Hi,

generally we define variables in the program that calls the form(script) and use it in ths cript.

data:var(10) type c. //in the call program(se38)

var = 'variable'.

&var& //use in script

Regards,

Sowjanya.

Venu,

all variables and structures defined globally in the print program are available without any further steps in SAPSCRIPT forms.

All additionally needed variables are defined simply by use. You can set values by using DEFINE statemwnt or by using Sapscript perform. If you did not use perform before, look at documentation for the statement!

But note that only the variables global in print program carry all the characteristics for display, i.e. 1000 or decimal separator.

All 'pure' Sapscript variables are pure text. So if you need formatted output from a PERFORM subroutine, use write to ... in the ABAP form and pass the result to Sapscript.

Hope it helps,

Clemens
