hi folks,

To display the page numbers in the form like

Page: 1 of 5 in this format, I used &sfsy-page(4Z)& OF &sfsy-formpages(4Z)&

It is displaying correct values for pages less than 10 like 'Page : 1 of 9' but when it reaches two digit numbers

it says Page: 1 of * Where is the error coming here?

There is enough space in the text window in the form too.

Why is it happening?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry I used

I used &sfsy-page(Z)& OF &sfsy-formpages(Z)& what is the difference out here?

should I be using '4Z' value there and only then it works?

I think the "4" tells it to display 4 characters of the field. Does it work when you use "(4Z)"? Does it work when you take the "4" away?

I don't remember having seen before that someone had to specify the lenght of the field in order to have the page functionality work correct. But maybe you have to.

This is a bug in SMARTFORM.

Define a Global Variable FPAGE TYPE CHAR4.

In the window where you print the page info , make it a "FINAL WINDOW".

Add an ABAP code before your TEXT node

( FPAGE SHOULD BE IN OUTBOUND PARAMMETERS ON ABAP NODE)

WRITE SFSY-FORMPAGES TO FPAGE LEFT-JUSTIFIED .

In the text you may use

&sfsy-page(4Z)& OF &FPAGE4Z)&

You amy also CHECK OSS 588352.

Cheers.

Do you mean to say that I do not need to use '4Z'? without using that I had an issue and then it was working but now it is not. I want to understand the logic behind that as to why it occurs like that ?

Hi,

The smartforms are designed to give the total pages only if the total number of pages is a single character eg:7. But if it exceeds 1 character,eg. 13, it just displays *. For this you need to declare explicitly the number of characters for total number of pages.

eg: &SFSY-FORMPAGES(3ZC)& or &SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES(3ZC)&

So in your program you need to declare the way given above.

Hope this helps you.

what difference it makes if we declare it as

&SFSY-FORMPAGES(4Z)& or &Sfsy-FORMPAGES(4Z)&

Can anyone explain If this is not right, should we declare it as

&SFSY-FORMPAGES(3ZC)& or &Sfsy-FORMPAGES(3ZC)&

what '3ZC' means?

Thanks

4Z --> 2 digit output

3ZC --> 3 digit output

Good luck,

No Difference

&SFSY-FORMPAGES(3ZC)& or &Sfsy-FORMPAGES(3ZC)&

It is right way to declare but will not work if you are on WAS610 or above . Read the OSS I mentioned in the thread earlier.

what '3ZC' means?

3 - No Of Places reserved for Printing the Variable

Z - Omit the leading zeros for numeric field

( SYSY-FORMPAGES in INT4 field . Check in SE11

fro SFSY )

C - Omit the leading spaces for character fields i.e. a

left justified output.

If you dont get the total page number follow the procedure mentioned earlier and also read the OSS.

Cheers.

I was able to use this thread in solving the same issue. Setting the window type to "FINAL" got it working properly. Thanks!
