Dynamic Table in SAP Script

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to draw a dynamic table in SAP script? Also how can i give a variable in BOX command?? I saw in one thread that we can pass variable to BOX command using the below syntax.

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

But what exactly that rowcount ??

Thanks,

Hi,

Rowcount will be the number of entries in your table which you are trying to display.

its count of the number of rows in the box, i would say height of the box in output..

can you try using &var1 instead using constant for this you need to have the required length before the box command.

Hi,

Rowcount will be the number of records in your internal dynamic table and you will need to declare it in the driver program and populate the variable before the WRITE_FORM.

How can i pass a variable data into that Box command?What is the syntax?I mean say i m havng value rowcount = sy-tabix which means the length of the internal table.Suppose my internal table contains 10 values.now rowcount =10 is getting in my program.

Now if i give

/: BOX XPOS 0MM YPOS <rowcount> CH width 190 MM height 0 LN

its not printing anythng but if i give

/: BOX XPOS 0MM YPOS 10 CH width 190 MM height 0 LN

Its printing some line.

<rowcount> is this the correct syntax to pass variable value??

[former_member183073]

you misunderstood the syntax.

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

here XPOS, YPOS points to the upper left corner of the box(starting point of the box for example for drawing a rectangle on graph you will give the starting x and y axis and ending x and y axis, its just the same but the end point is determined by the width and height from the starting point).

so give the number of line in height parameter.

below units will help you:

TW (twip)

PT (point)

IN (inch)

MM (millimeter)

CM (centimeter)

LN (line)

CH (character).

Hi,

Can you tell me the syntax to write in BOX command to pass a variable value?

Hi,

The syntax will be:

/: BOX XPOS 0MM YPOS &rowcount& CH width 190 MM height 0 LN

Also make sure that the variable 'rowcount' is of type char as scripts accepts only character variable.

Hi,

Thanku. its working but how exactly we draw a dynamic table depending on the length of the output fields.?

As you can see this is my output how to draw lines for this table ??

[muneshpatwari]

Hi,

length or height?? For length you need to play with the WIDTH parameter of the box command and for height, both YPOS and HEIGHT will do.
