Hi,

You can create a Main window for a page and you can use Constants/Variable windows as many windows as you can for a page

You can create any number of windows(upto 99 main windows) and any number of Variable windows

What are the different types of windows in SAP Scripts?

Windows are defined in the Layout sets which define the position and the text to displayed.

The different types of windows are:

MAIN - Main Window

The main window is a continous window which can extend over several pages. If the text in the main window fills up a page, a new page is created.

Only one main window can be defined in the SAP Script whereas upto 100 instances of main window can be created in a page.

VAR - Variable Window

This window can have the variable contents displayed on them. The contents of the window cannot exceed the window size. The content can be formatted for each page.

CONST - Constant Window

The constant window can have a fixed content and is formatted only once.

Main Windows (MAIN)

Each form must have one window of type MAIN. Such a window is called the main window of the form. For SAPscript forms, the main window has a central meaning:

• It controls the page break.

• It contains the text body that may cover several pages.

• It allows to fix text elements at the upper and lower margins of the allocated page window (for example, for column headings).

As soon as a window of type MAIN is full, SAPscript automatically triggers a page break and continues to output the remaining text in the main window of the subsequent page. Page windows of type MAIN have the same width throughout the form. The SAPscript composer thus avoids reformatting of the text after each page break.

Variable Windows (VAR)

The contents of variable windows is processed again for each page, on which the window appears. The system outputs only as much text as fits into the window. Text exceeding the window size is truncated; the system does not trigger a page break. Unlike constant windows, the page windows declared as variable windows may have different sizes on different form pages.

Constant Windows (CONST)

Starting with Release 4.0, the system internally processes windows of type CONST similar to windows of type VAR. Therefore, if you create a new window, always use type VAR.

Hi,

You can create any number of Variable windows and upto 99 main windows

Steps To create windows.

1. Choose Goto  Windows.

This takes you to the input screen for windows. A main window (MAIN) is displayed automatically. You can define a default paragraph here.

2. Choose Edit  Create element to add new window names and types to the list.

A dialog box appears.

3. Enter a window name and description.

Input-enabled fields are displayed in the lower half of the screen. The field Description receives the value from the dialog box, the value for the field Window type is set by the system.

By default, the system sets VAR as the window type for windows with variable contents. If you prefer another window type, simply overwrite this value.

4. Make your entries or changes.

You can define one standard paragraph per window in the field Default paragraph.

5. Repeat these steps for each of your windows.

6. Save your entries.

You can then include these windows in your page.

Reward if useful.

Regards,

Suruchi
