SAPscript is a template that simplifies the process of designing business forms. You need SAPscript forms to print, distribute or display business forms.

Forms are defined and formatted using layout sets.

SAP documents are printed using forms.

SAPscript is a tool that SAP provides for creating layout sets.

Hi Lijo,

SAp script and smartforms are used to print fax or email legal documents like PO,SO, invoice etc,.

script-Tcode-SE71-U have components like pages,windows,page windows,paragraph & character formats.U can create any component by edit->create element.create windows using windows componenet.

Using page windows assign each windows to the corressponding page.

U can creat upto 99 windows.by double clicking on any window, u 'll select those windows and use text elements icon in appl. tool bar to write logic.

U have elements like address..endaddress,protect...endprotect and so on.

Main difference betwen script & SF is that script is client-dependent and forms creates a function module so its client independent.

scripts can also be migrated to forms.

rewards if useful...

Hi,

SAP script (tcode se71)comprises of five main components.

An editor for entering and editing the lines of a text

Styles and layout sets for print layout. These are created independent of the individual texts using the corresponding maintenance transactions and are allocated to the texts later

The composer is a central output module. The SAP script composer is invisible to the outside

A programming interface that allows you to include SAP script components into your own application programs and to control the output of layout sets from within the programs

Several database tables for storing texts, styles and layout sets

To output documents using the programming interface, R/3 application programs need so-called layout sets (a kind of form)

In SAP script a layout set describes the layout of the individual print pages and uses text elements to supply definable output blocks, which a print program can call.

A layout set can be defined as a page design for a document

Usually a SAPscript form consists of the following objects:

Header Data

Paragraph and Character Formats

Windows and Text Elements

Pages

Page Windows

Layout set on its own doesn’t contain any data

The selection of data for the document is done through the print program.

The print program selects the data from database table and feeds it to the layout set.

When the print program is executed the document is printed on the screen, printer
