SAPSCRIPT - adding LAST PAGE

[Former Member]

Hello experts,

I am facing a problem on an existent sapscritp.

The existent form contains the FIRST and NEXT page, the flow is: FIRST -> NEXT -> NEXT.

It was asked me to add one LAST page with terms and conditions (etc)...

I created the LAST page in the form.

At the program level, right before the "close_form", I added the command "control_form" > "new-page LAST".

The LAST page was printed (ok), however, the content of "sapscript-formpages" seemed to get lost (=0).

In consequence, all the existent conditions: "IF &PAGE(C)& EQ &SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES(C)&" (if current page = "last page") didn´t work anymore. The data/windows to be printed on the last of the FIRST/NEXT pages didn´t appear anymore.

Also, the "page" information get lost "Page 1/0".

Before my LAST page, the content of "sapscript-formpages" = 1 (currently only one page is displayed) and "Page 1/1" was fine.

After I added the command "control_form" > "new-page LAST", the "sapscript-formpages" = 0 and "Page 1/0" (?).

Does anybody knows why???

I tried other ways to print the LAST page such as:

1) Added an element /E called "lastpage" on MAIN window (also tried other windows that comes after the MAIN).

This element contained the command "new-page LAST".

I called this element on the program (after the last element printed).

Result: New-page LAST was "ignored". It passed by this on debug mode but nothing happened (the first page was totally ok but LAST page didn´t appear).

2) Added "start_form" > startpage = "last" and "end_form" (before "close_form").

Result: Error message when running the sapscript ("start_form is invalid, end_form is missing").

Obs: there was not "start_form" and "end_form" on the current program code.

Please, does anybody has an suggestion to help me solving this problem?

Thank you!

Hi Tatiana,

I would suggest to create a new element (/E) in the main window of the next page.

You can use the syntax:

/E NEW_PAGE

/: NEW-PAGE LAST

Then in your driver program, call the element once you printed all the relevant  information.

      CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'

        EXPORTING

          element = 'NEW_PAGE'.

you can have condition of sales in any of the window (Main_Window) of the last page.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need more inputs.

Hello Abhi,

Thank you for your help. Actually I tried this yesterday, it is the same of my explanation on number "1)", no?

Anyway, I am trying again...

- When I put the element /E NEW_PAGE and command /: NEW-PAGE LAST on the MAIN window, teh page counter is lost too. (On program I put the "write_form" for element "new_page") before "CLOSE_FORM".

- When I put the element /E NEW_PAGE and command /: NEW-PAGE LAST in other window of the FIRST/NEXT page (coming after the MAIN), it is ignored... (no Last Page is printed).

Really really strange.

Any other suggestion, please?

Hi Tatiana,

In Main window,

Delcare:

/E PAGE.

/: NEW-PAGE

In Editor.

CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
      EXPORTING
        ELEMENT                        = 'PAGE'
*       FUNCTION                      = 'SET'
*       TYPE                          = 'BODY'
*       WINDOW                        = 'MAIN'
*     IMPORTING
*       PENDING_LINES                 =
      EXCEPTIONS
        ELEMENT                        = 1
        FUNCTION                       = 2
        TYPE                           = 3
        UNOPENED                       = 4
        UNSTARTED                      = 5
        WINDOW                         = 6
        BAD_PAGEFORMAT_FOR_PRINT       = 7
        SPOOL_ERROR                    = 8
        CODEPAGE                       = 9
        OTHERS                         = 10.

Thank you Venkat.

The result of this was a new page (NEXT), correctly printed, but just it.

The last page was not printed.

I continue trying... In case of any other suggestion please let me know!

Hello experts,

Only to report that I finally got my sapcript working.

On my solution, at the printing program level, I added "start_form" and "end_form" between the current print logic.

Then, right before the current "close_form", I added one more "start_form" starting by "LAST", then I added "control_form" with command "new-page LAST", and finally "end_form" again.

Thanks for the helps.

Regards.
