Hello,

Windows are just place holders and do not have any content or position. Windows become Page Windows when they are assigned to a Page and allocated actual positions. Page windows can also hold texts and other contents.

Hi Yash,

Welcome to SDN.

Windows:

Various parts of the output document can be conveniently organised on the pages using windows. Thus the data stream coming from the ABAP program can be logically grouped into various parts and can be placed on different locations on a page

There are 2 main types of windows that can be used in a layout set:

MAIN - A layout set can have only one MAIN window which is created by default. This window can flow over multiple pages.

CONSTANT - A layout set can have any number of constant windows. A constant window can be used once per page

Page Windows:

All the windows that form a page of the layout set.

Choose the window and click the Text Elements button to go to the Layout Set Editor. This consists of 2 parts

The small space on the left is for specifying the type of command, while the window adjacent to it is for writing the command or the text that needs to go under a text element.

Hope this will help.

Regards,

Ferry Lianto

2. windows

3. page window :

Hi yash,

Window is like a Template in SAP script where as Page windows can be thought of as the instantiation of the same.But this is just an analogy

hi,

there are 2 types of windows :

CONSTANT - A layout set can have any number of constant windows. A constant window can be used once per page example header data

Variable window: Main window ia a type of variable

window in which data may vary.

) In Scripts, the window can be of type VAR or CONST except for the MAIN.

2) The content of variable window is regenerated on every page.

3) The content of a constant window is generated once at the beginning and later printed on every page.

4) But in the present versions, SAP system does not distinguish between these two types.

when a window is placed over a page tthen its a page window.
