form routine

[Former Member]

Reg. sapscripts, what is form routine? Can you tell me more about this and clarify me on this? What exactly is form routine and what happens here?

Thanks in advance.

Krishen,

I am assuming you are looking at the SAPscript configuration screen. The PROGRAM is the name of the SAPscript Print Program, and the FORM Routine is the starting subroutine. eg. for Output Type BA00, the Program is "RVADOR01" and the FORM Routine is "ENTRY". This means that when the BA00 Output type is triggered, SAP will go to program "RVADOR01" and execute subroutine "ENTRY". It is within the ENTRY subroutine that the "OPEN_FORM", "WRITE_FORM", "CLOSE_FORM", etc Function Modules are called.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Pat.

Hi,

In programs which give print output like sales order, when output is to be printed, there will be a corresponding output type. This output type is defined in NACE txn. WIth each o/p type, there will be a related print program and form routine and Sapscript formname. So when output type is triggered, print program will be called. In print program code, there will be routine 'ENTRY' which indicates that related SAPSCript form is to be called from that point.
