Hi ramu,

1. In sapscript layouts, there are Elements (/E)

for printing block of texts, such as line items, in a loop.

2. To print such text elements, from the driver program, and with flow,

we use WRITE_FORM, and pass the element name to be printed.

(For line items, such as po items,

we use LOOP in the driver program,

and inside the loop, we use WRITE_FORM and pass the element name)

3. START_FORM is totally different.

Usually it is not used.

We use it only when we want to

use 2 or more different layouts, in one single driver program.

In that case,

we have to start layout 1, then layout 2, etc...

then we print them, using write_form,

and then we stop/end them with END_FORM,

each for layout1, layout 2, etc.

The FM Start_form is used to start a layout set in Scripts

and the FM write_form is used to Output text element in form window.

To run a sap script we need driver program ,In that program we should call our

sap script for that we are using open form function module.

CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'

EXPORTING

FORM = 'ZNEW_SCRIPT'.

Write Form:

is to display any contents in your sap script.

CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'

EXPORTING

• Element = 'E1'

window = 'MAIN'.

The form shoud be ended ,thatz y v r using end form.

CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'.

Our driver program need to consist of the above three function module,

or v cant run sapscript.
