Program to Print sapscript

[Former Member]

Hi All The past two days I have been learning how create SAPSCRIPTS preparing for an upcoming project.

I created a form with only three elements a graph(logo), our address and a main window.

When I do a test print the form comes out fine but on SE38 when I execute the below code I get the message that the elements are not defined in the program.

REPORT Z_DEMO_TESTSCRIPT.

*----------------------------------------------------------------------*

CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'   

     EXPORTING     

          device                            = 'PRINTER'     

          form                               = 'Z_DEMO_TEMPLATE'. *    

CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'     

     EXPORTING       

          element                        = 'GRAPH1'       

          function                        = 'SET'        

          type                              = 'BODY'        

          window                         = 'MAIN' . *    

CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'     

     EXPORTING       

          element                        = 'OUR_ADDR'       

          function                        = 'SET'        

          type                              = 'BODY'        

          window                        = 'MAIN' .   

CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'     

     EXPORTING       

          element                        = 'LOGO'       

          function                        = 'SET'        

          type                              = 'BODY'        

          window                         = 'MAIN' .   

CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'.

What could I be missing?

Hi khani,

In the form window you need to specify the element names graph1,logo,OUR_ADDR in the main window of the form.

/E GRAPH1

/E LOGO

/E OUR_ADDR.

Hi Stefan

See attached text for the 3 window elements:

Hi Khani Ramatlo,

as i thought and as chaitanya mantripragada said. You need the element-statement inside the windows otherwise they dont get called.

for example:

CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'     

     EXPORTING       

          element                        = 'LOGO'       

          function                        = 'SET'        

          type                              = 'BODY'        

          window                         = 'MAIN' .   

in this example you need the window "MAIN"

and the command line /E LOGO insode the window main.

only if you do so, all the text after this command line gets printed.

or better to say: all text between this element-command-line and the next element-command-line

It makes sense now that the text elements carry what I need to output.

Hi Khani,

No need to create 3 window.

Just keep MAIN window and in Main Page Window define 3 elements

/E GRAPH1

/E LOGO

/E OUR_ADDR.

and then from your print program call as follows:

CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'  

     EXPORTING    

          device                            = 'PRINTER'    

          form                               = 'Z_DEMO_TEMPLATE'. *   

CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'    

     EXPORTING      

          element                        = 'GRAPH1'      

          function                        = 'SET'       

          type                              = 'BODY'       

          window                         = 'MAIN' . *   

CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'    

     EXPORTING      

          element                        = 'OUR_ADDR'      

          function                        = 'SET'       

          type                              = 'BODY'       

          window                        = 'MAIN' .  

CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'    

     EXPORTING      

          element                        = 'LOGO'      

          function                        = 'SET'       

          type                              = 'BODY'       

          window                         = 'MAIN' .  

CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'.

Aaaah thank you guys it now makes sense, I had misunderstood how the text elements work in this context. Thank you so much all the answers were helpful.

In this case I need to call the three windows in one page so instead of deleting them I will call different windows with each function module call. Thank you so much for brining this to my attention.
