Hi Naga,

Give the values in single quotes if they have decimal values.

<b>BOX WIDTH 20 CM HEIGHT 1 IN FRAME 10 TW INTENSIFY 15.</b>

Did you have POSITION prior to this??

POSITION XORIGIN 20 MM YORIGIN 20 MM

Thanks,

Vinay

hi check this code

You can use the POSITION and SIZE commands to set default parmeters for a box.

Instead of:

/: BOX XPOS '11.21' MM YPOS '5.31' MM HEIGHT '10' MM WIDTH '20' MM INTENSITY 10 FRAME 0 TW

You can write:

/: POSITION XORIGIN '11.21' YORIGIN '5.31' MM

/: SIZE HEIGHT '2' MM WIDTH '76' MM

/: BOX FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 10

This can be usefull if you gave several boxes that share the same parameters.

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 Weidth to 0

and add a frane. 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

Hi Naga mrudula,

You must specify decimal numbers as literal values (like ABAP numeric constants) by enclosing them in inverted commas. Use the period as the decimal point character.

1 TW = 1/20 PT

1 PT = 1/72 IN

1 IN = 2.54 CM

1 CM = 10 MM

1 CH = height of a character relative to the CPI specification in the form header

1 LN = height of a line relative to the LPI specification in the form header

Check this examples :

/: 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.

Hope this resolves your query.

Reward all the helpful answers.

Regards
