Hi,

Copies Window

Use

You use the copies window to define an output area for the print output, whose content you want to appear either only on the copy or only on the original. This allows you to flag copies as copies when the form is printed.

Prerequisites

You use this window type only if you want to print copies of your form. In the spool dialog in the Number input field of the Copies group box enter the number of copies (including the original).

Features

You can determine where to print the inferior nodes of a copies window:

Both on the original and on the copies ( Original and Copies )

Only on the original ( Only Original )

Only on the copies ( Only Copies )

You can use the system fields SFSY-COPYCOUNT or SFSY-COPYCOUNT0 to query whether the current output is the original or, respectively, which number the copy has.

Extras

You frequently print a graphic on the copies to flag them as copies. If, independent of the copy, the graphic is always the same, SAP Smart Forms can buffer the graphic before printing the page and thus increase performance. To do this, you must flag the copies window accordingly:

If you mark Identical Copies SAP Smart Forms buffers the output to increase performance. Within such a window, any queries of the system fields SFSY-COPYCOUNT or SFSY-COPYCOUNT0 have no effects.

If you mark Different Copies SAP Smart Forms generates the contents again for each copy. You use this option if, for example, you want to number your copies consecutively (Copy 1, Copy 2, Copy 3, and so on).

Final Window

Use

You may want to display or query values on the first page that are determined only during processing. For example, you may want to name the grand total in the letter text of an invoice. However, this amount is determined only after listing all individual items. Or you may want to query on the first page within a condition the total number of pages, which the system calculates only after processing all pages.

In such a case, you use the final window: Processing first skips all windows of this type in the tree and works its way to the end of the tree. Only after the actual processing is finished, the final windows are processed in the order in which they appear in the tree (from top to bottom). Now any information is available that is known only at the end of the form processing.

Integration

As of Release 6.10 you can set this window type using a radio button on the General Attributes tab. For Releases 4.6C and 4.6D you must first upload a Support Package. Selection of this window type differs for these releases. For more information, refer to Note 359009 in SAPNet.

Activities

Create a window.

To set the window type, use the Window Type list box on the General Attributes tab.
