SAP Script - Window and box

[Former Member]

Hello All

I have done changes to include few(3) lines in a SAP Script window. Because of those 3 lines, contents that were printed earlier are not getting printed.

The window is getting printed inside a box and it is defined as

BOX FRAME 10 TW.

Window height is 22.50 Ln,width 9.50 CM.

To rectify this should I increase the height of this window or should I define the attributes of the box

Please reply at the possible earliest.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Tharani,

i thing it is better to increase window height (25.50 LN)

( consider that BOX FRAME 10 TW command fills the entire window)

You could also redefine BOX command:

BOX HEIGTH '25.50' LN WIDTH '9.50' CM FRAME 10 TW

Hi,

You have to increase the height of the window.

Check this

Setting default parameters for a box:

You can use the POSITION and SIZE commands to set default parmeters for a box.

Instead of:

/: BOX XPOS '11.21' MM  YPOS '5.31' MM  HEIGHT '10' MM WIDTH '20' MM INTENSITY 10 FRAME 0 TW

You can write:

/: POSITION XORIGIN '11.21' YORIGIN '5.31' MM 
/: SIZE HEIGHT '2' MM WIDTH '76' MM 
/: BOX  FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 10

This can be usefull if you gave several boxes that share the same parameters.

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

Hi,

When you included 3 lines newly, the older lines/data may be misplaced due to the size of the box.

In order to fit the data in your box increase your box size.

/: BOX XPOS '11' ch YPOS '5' ch HEIGHT '25' LN WIDTH '9.50' CM INTENSITY 10 FRAME 0 TW

Thanks.

Tharani,

You can increase the window height by 3 lines & you should be good. Box parameters should also be set accordingly.

Hope this helps.
