question on sapscript - window INFO

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a sapscript form with window 'INFO, ADDRESS , MAIN and PAGE'.

In Call Function 'Write-form' for MAIN, you use:

Call Fx Write-Form

Export

Element = 'Item_line1'

WIndow = 'MAIN'.

However for window INFO of type CONST, it contains header 'contact person' and 'phone number' and its values.

The question is: How do i find the Call Function 'Write-FORM' that reference this window INFO in the program ? The window INFO don't have an element like MAIN window. I am looking at purchase order with custom form from MEDFRUCK. IN the call function, one cannot use element as there is no element to reference in WIndow INFO.

Pls forward any suggestions you have.

thanks

Joyce

Hi Joyce,

We can call the window INFO by using the below code in the program.

CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
  EXPORTING
    window = 'INFO'
  EXCEPTIONS
    window = 1.

Hi Jeyabalasubramanian,

That's what i thought but i am unable to search 'window= Info' in the program. Let me look again.

thanks

Hi Joyce,

window MAIN must be explicitly called using function module WRITE_FORM in the program in order to display in the ouput.

All the other window need not be called in the program using function module WRITE_FORM.

Even if it is not called in the program it will display all the window in the output other than MAIN window in the output.

Hi Jeyabalasubramanian,

Since MAIN must be explicitly called, then for Window INFO, i assume the following can be used without any parameters ?

Call function 'write-form'

Is your WINDOW "INFO" assigned to your PAGE "FIRST"? Does it show up in your PAGE WINDOWS view? If it does it should print along with your other defined windows.

Hi Wing Yuen,

Yes. The window 'INFO' is assigned to PAGE 'FIRST" only. When i go to PAGE WINDOW for FIRST page, it shows me two windows - MAIN and INFO.

Does this mean that the driver program will not have a call function 'WRITE-FORM' for this INFO window ?

This INFO does print out on my form. I asked because i cannot find the WRITE-FORM for the INFO window.

Thanks

We use the standard print program SAPFM06P with a custom SAPscript. I checked SAPFM06P and I did not find any CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM' in it. Not sure why? Could be they are hidden behind function modules.

Not sure if that's helpful, but it's the same in my system.

HI Wing Yuen,

Thanks for looking up in your system. I am going to add another box like window INFO which will be in first page.

I thought with the new box that i am going to create, i need to put the statement 'CAll Function Write-Form' in the program.

Do you think i still need the statement ? I guess I will find out soon.

thanks

It should appear without any CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'. I've created many WINDOWS (added to PAGE WINDOWS) in SAPscript without having any CALL FUNCTION. Mostly to hold static text and company logos.

Hi Wing Yuen,

May i ask how to add my new window 'HdrTitle' to Page Windows ?

thanks

Go to your PAGE WINDOW view, then on your Edit menu > Create Element a popup window will show up. Scroll to your WINDOW and choose it (double-click). You'll then be prompted to enter the window attributes/margins.
