hii

<b>you have to use the BOX command in the SAPSCRIPT using which you can draw the table in script.

in the starting of the <b>MAIN WINDOW</b> draw a horizontal line and then display your vairables

in end again draw a horizontal line to close the table.

the height of the vertical line will the number of records in the internal table.

the vertical line can be drawn using

BOX XPOS 10 YPOS 20 width 0 CH hieght <rowcount> CH

here draw your box</b>

define a variable in form and assign a value to it from program variable and then use that in form.

If you want to set the position realtively to the window use POSITION WINDOW

to set the position to the top/left start of the window. Then use POSITION

to set the current position relatively to the start of the Window.

Note that you uses "+" or "-" in the ORIGIN position to the set the position relatively.

/: POSITION WINDOW

/: POSITION XORIGIN '5' MM YORIGIN '10' MM

the position is now 5 MM from the left and 10 MM from the top of the window

NOTE: After using the position command you can move the current position

realtively to the last used position

/: POSITION XORIGIN '10' MM YORIGIN '20' MM

Now the position will be X = 15 and Y = 30

Drawing a line. You can draw a line by setting the Height or Weidth to 0

and add a frane. E.g. a horizontal line:

/: SIZE HEIGHT '0' MM WIDTH '200' MM

/: BOX FRAME 10 TW XPOS '11.21' MM YPOS '14.81' MM INTENSITY 100

reward points if helpful

hi

define &xval& and &yval&

use BOX xpos &xval& ypos &yval& height 10 width 10 frame 10 tw

Use the BOX command

/: BOX xpos <xpos> ypos <ypos> <thickness> twips

/: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW

/: BOX XPOS '10.0' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW

/: BOX XPOS '13.5' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW

hi Babitha,

Check this out

<b>BOX, POSITION, SIZE: Boxes, lines, shading</b>

The BOX, POSITION and SIZE commands are for drawing boxes, lines and shadows. These commands can be used to specify that within any particular layout set, window or passage of window text can be output in a frame or with shadowing.

The SAP printer drivers that are based on page-oriented printers (the HP LaserJet PCL-5 driver HPLJ4, the

Postscript driver POST, the Kyocera Prescribe driver PRES) employ these commands when creating output. Line printers and non-supported page-oriented printers ignore these commands. The resulting output may be viewed in the SAPscript print previewer.

Syntax:

<b>1. /: BOX [XPOS] [YPOS] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [FRAME] [INTENSITY]

2. /: POSITION [XORIGIN] [YORIGIN] [WINDOW] [PAGE]

3. /: SIZE [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [WINDOW] [PAGE]</b>

BOX

Syntax:

/: BOX [XPOS] [YPOS] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [FRAME] [INTENSITY]

Effect: draws a box of the specified size at the specified position.

Parameters: For each parameter (XPOS, YPOS, WIDTH, HEIGHT and FRAME), both a measurement and a unit of measure must be specified. The INTENSITY parameter should be entered as a percentage between 0 and 100.

•&#61472;XPOS, YPOS: Upper left corner of the box, relative to the values of the POSITION command.

Default: Values specified in the POSITION command.

The following calculation is performed internally to determine the absolute output position of a box on the page:

X(abs) = XORIGIN + XPOS

Y(abs) = YORIGIN + YPOS

•&#61472;WIDTH: Width of the box.

Default: WIDTH value of the SIZE command.

•&#61472;HEIGHT: Height of the box.

Default: HEIGHT value of the SIZE command.

•&#61472;FRAME: Thickness of frame.

Default: 0 (no frame).

•&#61472;INTENSITY: Grayscale of box contents as %.

Default: 100 (full black)

Measurements: Decimal numbers must be specified as literal values (like ABAP/4 numeric constants) by being enclosed in inverted commas. The period should be used as the decimal point character. See also the examples listed below.

Units of measure: The following units of measure may be used:

•&#61472;TW (twip)

•&#61472;PT (point)

•&#61472;IN (inch)

•&#61472;MM (millimeter)

•&#61472;CM (centimeter)

•&#61472;LN (line)

•&#61472;CH (character).

The following conversion factors apply:

•&#61472;1 TW = 1/20 PT

•&#61472;1 PT = 1/72 IN

•&#61472;1 IN = 2.54 CM

•&#61472;1 CM = 10 MM

•&#61472;1 CH = height of a character relative to the CPI specification in the layout set header

•&#61472;1 LN = height of a line relative to the LPI specification in the layout set header

Examples:

/: BOX FRAME 10 TW

Draws a frame around the current window with a frame thickness of 10 TW (= 0.5 PT).

<b>/: BOX INTENSITY 10

Fills the window background with shadowing having a gray scale of 10 %.

/: BOX HEIGHT 0 TW FRAME 10 TW

Draws a horizontal line across the complete top edge of the window.

/: BOX WIDTH 0 TW FRAME 10 TW

Draws a vertical line along the complete height of the left hand edge of the window.

/: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT 1 CM FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 15

/: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW

/: BOX XPOS '10.0' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW

/: BOX XPOS '13.5' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW

Draws two rectangles and two lines to construct a table of three columns with a highlighted heading section.</b>

POSITION

Syntax:

/: POSITION [XORIGIN] [YORIGIN] [WINDOW] [PAGE]

Effect: Sets the origin for the coordinate system used by the XPOS and YPOS parameters of the BOX command. When a window is first started the POSITION value is set to refer to the upper left corner of the window (default setting).

Parameters: If a parameter value does not have a leading sign, then its value is interpreted as an absolute value, in other words as a value which specifies an offset from the upper left corner of the output page. If a parameter value is specified with a leading sign, then the new value of the parameter is calculated relative to the old value. If one of the parameter specifications is missing, then no change is made to this parameter.

•&#61472;XORIGIN, YORIGIN: Origin of the coordinate system.

•&#61472;WINDOW: Sets the values for the left and upper edges to be the same of those of the current window (default setting).

•&#61472;PAGE: Sets the values for the left and upper edges to be the same as those of the current output page (XORIGIN = 0 cm, YORIGIN = 0 cm).

Examples:

/: POSITION WINDOW

Sets the origin for the coordinate system to the upper left corner of the window.

/: POSITION XORIGIN 2 CM YORIGIN '2.5 CM'

Sets the origin for the coordinate system to a point 2 cm from the left edge and 2.5 cm from the upper edge of the output page.

/: POSITION XORIGIN '-1.5' CM YORIGIN -1 CM

Shifts the origin for the coordinates 1.5 cm to the left and 1 cm up.

SIZE

Syntax:

/: SIZE [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [WINDOW] [PAGE]

Effect: Sets the values of the WIDTH and HEIGHT parameters used in the BOX command. When a window is first started the SIZE value is set to the same values as the window itself (default setting).

Parameters: If one of the parameter specifications is missing, then no change is made to the current value of this parameter. If a parameter value does not have a leading sign, then its value is interpreted as an absolute value. If a parameter value is specified with a leading sign, then the new value of the parameter is calculated relative to the old value.

•&#61472;WIDTH, HEIGHT: Dimensions of the rectangle or line.

•&#61472;WINDOW: Sets the values for the width and height to the values of the current window (default setting).

•&#61472;PAGE: Sets the values for the width and height to the values of the current output page.

Examples:

/: SIZE WINDOW

Sets WIDTH and HEIGHT to the current window dimensions.

/: SIZE WIDTH '3.5' CM HEIGHT '7.6' CM

Sets WIDTH to 3.5 cm and HEIGHT to 7.6 cm.

/: POSITION WINDOW

/: POSITION XORIGIN -20 TW YORIGIN -20 TW

/: SIZE WIDTH +40 TW HEIGHT +40 TW

/: BOX FRAME 10 TW

A frame is added to the current window. The edges of the frame extend beyond the edges of the window itself, so as to avoid obscuring the leading and trailing text characters.
