Hi Spart,

The use of text elements is to control the flow of the output..

Suppose that you are printing a document and the value of the header document number, come after a specific part of your driver program code, so will need to ensure that the code in your sap script window is not executed till this point, otherwise you will get blank output..

To do so, you declare text elements in the windows by using /E in the tag column.

When a text element is declared in the window, then the following code will not be executed by default.. you will need to call WRITE_FORM function passing the name of the WINDOW and the text element ELEMENT in your driver program , when you want the window to get executed..

So, the only purpose is to control the flow of data between the Sap script and the driver program.

I feel i have answered your question..

Thanks and Best Regards,

Vikas Bittera.

Hi Spart,

forgot to answer the other doubt..

Tag column values

/: command line (to write any logical statment)

/ Blank line feed (add blank line)

/E text element (text element)

default formatting for text

apart from this you will get all the paragraph names that you have created for ur sap script.. using one of them will apply the formatting options set for that paragraph in the following text.

Thanks and Best Regards,

of the text or initiate control commands.

<u><b>Layout Set Symbol </b></u>

SYSTEM symbols are supplied by SAPscripts. They can be used in all texts. Following are list of frequently used system symbols.

&DATE& = Current date

&DAY& = Day

&MONTH& = Month

&YEAR& = Year

&TIME& = Time of day

&HOURS& = Hours

&MINUTES& = Minutes

&SECONDS& = Seconds

&PAGE& = Page

&NEXTPAGE& = Page number of next page

&SPACE& = Blanks

&ULINE& = Underline

&VLINE& = Vertical line

&NAME_OF_MONTH& = Name of month

FORMATTING of the symbol can be done in following different ways:

&SYMBOL+ 4& = Off set

&SYMBOL(5)& = Length

&SYMBOL(I)& = If the symbol is initial, output nothing

&SYMBOL(Z)& = Suppress leading zeros

&SYMBOL(C)& = Compress blanks

&SYMBOL(R)& = Right-justified output

&SYMBOL(S)& = Suppress +/- sign

&SYMBOL(5,2)& = Decimal place formatting

&SYMBOL(E3)& = Exponential notation

&’text1’SYMBOL’text2’& = Concatenation of symbol and text

Examples :

&VBDPR-MATNR+2(4)&

&VBDKL-BRGEW(I13)&

&’Currency : ’VBDKA-WAERK&

&’Case # &PREFIX&’VBDPR-BSTNK+2(8)’00’&
