Hi Tom,

&KOMVD-KAWRT(12)& brings the value stored in that particular field from that structure that is being used in the driver program.

What does the (12) do and the (I12) do? Thanks.

Hi Tom,

12 is the length of that field. I12 will help you to position the place where that field shows up on the script.

(12) means that print only first 12 characters of the variable. Sometimes the place where the data to be printed might be limited. So to fit the value in the space available we can use the option. All formatting options are put in brackets. Anything you see in brackets after a variable within the '&" is formatting options provided by sap script editor.

Hi,

The (12) specifies the field length u reserve in the script and (l12) specifies the same length for that particular field and prevents the field value to shift to next line, but pls check if its (112).

I hope u reward points.

Tom,

&KOMVD-KAWRT(12)&

&KOMVD-KAWRT(I12)&

the above two are nothing but variables in the script, they are placed between ampersand symbols (&) coz, at run time, data wil be print at that place.

Hi,

SAP SCRIPT uses variables to display the data from the driver program. The data is passed by using variables in between two '&'.

If we need any data to be printed in the form and if this data is not hardcoded then we need to pass this data from the print program to the sap script using variables. These variables are then placed in between two '&'. Once this is done during run time the value of the variable is printed on the form.

Hope this helps

Cheers
