SAPscript errors

[aris_hidalgo]

Hi guys,

Currently I am experimenting on SAPscripts and I encountered an error. the first error is "bad_pageformat_for_print". Also, what is the use of element? do i need to declare that? how can I know the value of that particular element in write_form?

Also, if you can give me some examples and tips on SAPscriptI would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Hi

Check your page format and ensure that it wont exceeds the window boundaries.

Well u have the option to use text elements or avoid it altogether but using will be recommended.

Once you have defined your layout setting then write your print program by making use of the FMs like OPEN_FORM,

START_FORM,WRITE_FORM and END_FORM.The FMs requirement may vary based on your requirement.

Hi,

The elements are very necessary part of the SAPscripts as they tell the driver functions to call which part of the script at what time.

The error you are getting is due to the fact that data you are displaying is not well formed on the paragraph formats.

Kindly check them through.

If you can give me your email id I can provide you with a stepwise tutorial for SAPscript which will help you a lot.

Regards

Amit.

Try to Give DINA4 or some proper page format, and align..

and elements you need to go to layout and and check for

elements , element command '/E' and look for them and specify them in write form, otherwise text or variables under that element will not print (if they are under some element)...

Hi,

The error may be because the page format you have specified doesnt suit the printer you are using. Change the printer settings for this.

Elements are declared for logical processing of a part of the code in script.

If you want some part of teh code to be executed based on some conditional statement, then you give this under one element and while calling from the program call this element seperately.

elements are required wen u want a particular piece of information to be displayed in sapscript at a particular time in the program( eg, if some condition is met or after a loop, etc ).

hi

element can be declared in the script using prefix '/', it tells the script thru the driver program that which part of the script should be processed based on the selected element name!!

regarding ur error....since it's related to bad page format ...do check ur page format and make it DINA4 if that suits( u can find that in basic settings of the form)

Also, after u have created the form ..go to menu (form->check->text..check the first two option and press enter)..next window will ask for the print program appen dur print program and click on copy..it will display all the relevant errors that may have creaped in)

hope this helps!
