SAPscript: link to existing element in same window

[Joerg_S]

Hi,

i'm using standard print programm (SAPM07DR) to print material documents (MIGO).

I allready have defined my element

/E WE3KOPF

and printout is OK.

Problem:
for other type of material print programm (SAPM07DR) is requesting

/E WE3KOPF1

Standard solution would be:
create

/E WE3KOPF1

and copy/paste text from

/E WE3KOPF

into

i don't like that, because in case of changings i have to change twice !!!

So i search for a function which allows me to link to

/E WE3KOPF

like:

-

-

---

/E WE3KOPF

K1 &H_STRAS&
K1 &H_PSTLZ& &H_ORT01& &H_ORT02&
/*

/E WE3KOPF1

/: link to WE3KOPF <---- ???

does anybody know about such a function?

(i don't want to change/copy standard print program!)

kind regards

Hi Jörg,

Hmm. You could try to write an external form and let this form trigger the defined element.

At element WE3KOPF1 add the command lines

/: PERFORM LINK_ELEMENT IN PROGRAM Z_SAPSCRIPT_FORMS

/: USING 'WE3KOPF1'

/: ENDPERFORM

Then create an external formroutine with a function call

CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'

...

elem = -value

...

Just an idea - don't know it works. I hope you have minimal experience creating external form for sapscript. If not - it's well-documented at

Calling ABAP Subroutines: PERFORM

Hope it's worth a try.

Hi,

Try this..

Use the PERFORM STATEMENT in the text element WE3KOPF1..

/E WE3KOPF1

SAPSCRIPT FORM CHANGES

-

---

/: PERFORM DISPLAY_WE3KOPF1 IN PROGRAM ZREPORT1

............

/: ENDPERFORM.

Report program

Create a new report program and have that subroutine here.

FORM DISPLAY_WE3KOPF1 TABLES IN_PAR STUCTURE ITCSY

OUT_PAR STRUCTURE ITCSY.

• CALL THE FUNCTION WRITE_FORM WITH THE TEXT ELEMENT.

ENDFORM.

Thanks,

Hi Naren,

in Function "WRITE_FORM" there is a certain check:

+function write_form.

data:

create type i,

etype like itcca-tdetype.

check co_perform-active <> true.+ <--- !!! (function was left at this point)

subrc = 0

Looks like SAP avoids your solution ...

kind regards
