Issue in Original & Duplicates copy of scripts

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

I got one issue in Scripts. I want to print 3 copies. In that script, first copy should display 'Original' and other 2 copies doesn't display anything. Now I have created a Original window, but it is displaying 'Original' for all the 3 copies. How to restrict 'Original' only for first copy? Please help me.

Regards,

Sruthi.

Think a bit more about what can/shall happen there are way more possibilities.

1. you print your form with 3 copies, 1 should have "original" on it and the 2 copies not. Now you print it again with 3 copies, what shall happen? Again the same? Or should none of the 3 newly printed form have original on it?

Whenever the script is executing it should have 3 copies. In that 1st copy should have text 'Original' and others should not have.

But here in my issue, it is all the 3 copies having 'Original' text.

well yeah, i understand that problem. What i wanted to know is, if you print your 3 copis a second time, should the first one again be original? That would be a really rare requirement since in case it is a 1 original and 5 copies then and not 2 originals and 4 copies.

I hope you got my point.

Anyway normally you check for NAST-records.with vstat 1. Means you do a select on table NAST with KSCHL, OBJKY and VSTAT = 1. if sy-subrc <> 0, print original, otherwise print copy or nothing.

This approach results in just the first one will be named "original" and every following not, even if you print it half a year later.

If you need to print original on the first one again when doing this for a second time i´d propose to install a counter variable in your driver program, which counts the number of the actual copy beeing printed. Then print "original" only if it is 1.

you can try this way.

in your Print Program

data : lv_n type n.

lv_n = 1.

loop itab.

if lv_n =1 . here 1 is your first page..

call wirte form with element like 999

in your script

/E 999

original text

endif.

lv_n = lv_n + 1.

endloo
