hi,

Constant windows are the same size and have the same contents on all form pages in which they appear. They therefore only need to be edited once when output. The text editing process is quicker if a window is defined as constant.

Constant Windows are used to display, standard things of the Layout.

Eg: Address, Logo, Site Address, Terms & Conditions.

When defining a layout set window, you must select a window type for the window. You can choose between three types:

u2022 Constant windows (CONST)

u2022 Variable windows (VAR)

u2022 Main windows (MAIN)

CONSTANT WINDOW

A window of type CONST has the same contents and size on all layout set pages, on which a corresponding page window is defined. This allows the processing of the window contents to be optimized internally.

Page windows whose allocated window is of type CONST must have the same size throughout the layout set. If a window of type CONST is full, all remaining text the application program wants to output in this window, is lost. Constant windows do not trigger a page break. In other words: all text exceeding the window size is simply truncated.

Hi RamaGovinda.

In a layout set we can have any number of constant windows.

A constant window can be used once per page as compared to variable window which can flow over pages.

Reward points if usefull.
