<b>Smartforms</b>

<i>Main Window and Subwindows

<b>Definition</b>

On a page, there are two different types of output areas for texts and data: the main window and the subwindow.

<b>Use</b>

You can position windows anywhere on a page, even overlapping. You can position the same

window (determined by the technical name) on several pages of a form, so that the same

contents are displayed on all these pages. You can choose a different size for the window on

each page, except for the main window.

<b>Main Window</b>

In a main window you display text and data, which can cover several pages (flow text). As soon as a main window is completely filled with text and data, the system continues displaying the text in the main window of the next page. It automatically triggers the page break.</i>

<b>Sapscript</b>

<i><b>Windows and Text Elements</b>

Forms usually consist of individual text areas (address, date, footer, and so on). To provide these areas with texts, you must define the areas first as output areas. Then you can print the appropriate texts in these output areas, controlled by the print program. SAPscript calls such an output area a window. To refer to windows via the programming interface, each window must have a unique name.

Frequently used window names in application forms are ADDRESS, SENDER, MAIN, or PAGE.</i>
