Box in Long text of sapscript

Former Member · ‎07-03-2007

Hi All,

I have created a script.....in that i have to print only long text in the main window.

Now my problem is...the LONG text is breaking and going to next page...

means a part on 1 page and remaining on subsequent pages..

And the problem is the box which i have put arround the main window is coming only in first page and last page . In between pages the box arround the main window is not coming .

How to get the box around those pages also.

help me out...

Thanks,

Guru

Hi Guru

You can change the box size using this code

/: POSITION XORIGIN '11.21' YORIGIN '5.31' MM 
/: SIZE HEIGHT '2' MM WIDTH '76' MM 
/: BOX  FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 10

Setting default parameters for a box:

You can use the POSITION and SIZE commands to set default parmeters for a box.

Instead of:

/: BOX XPOS '11.21' MM YPOS '5.31' MM HEIGHT '10' MM WIDTH '20' MM INTENSITY 10 FRAME 0 TW

This can be usefull if you gave several boxes that share the same parameters.

If you want to set the position realtively to the window use POSITION WINDOW

to set the position to the top/left start of the window. Then use POSITION

to set the current position relatively to the start of the Window.

Note that you uses "+" or "-" in the ORIGIN position to the set the position relatively.

/: POSITION WINDOW

/: POSITION XORIGIN '5' MM YORIGIN '10' MM

the position is now 5 MM from the left and 10 MM from the top of the window

NOTE: After using the position command you can move the current position

realtively to the last used position

/: POSITION XORIGIN '10' MM YORIGIN '20' MM

Now the position will be X = 15 and Y = 30

Drawing a line. You can draw a line by setting the Height or Weidth to 0

and add a frane. E.g. a horizontal line:

/: SIZE HEIGHT '0' MM WIDTH '200' MM

/: BOX FRAME 10 TW XPOS '11.21' MM YPOS '14.81' MM INTENSITY 100

Hi

The property of MAIN window is like that, If the Data is more than a Page it automatically goes to next pages.

So better decide where I mean in which you wants to print ? In MAin window , then it automatcially goes to other pages. use a new paragraph format and mention PAGE PROTECTION for that such that it prints in the Same page.

For the boxes see the seetings of the main window in all pages, especially in NEXT page.. so that the box is coming properly

see the box related commands

SAPScripts

POSITION WINDOW

SIZE WIDTH '160' MM HEIGHT '140' MM

BOX FRAME 10 TW

Box

BOX HEIGHT '11' MM WIDTH '160' MM FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 35

linessssssss

BOX XPOS '20' MM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '140' MM FRAME 10 TW

BOX XPOS '45' MM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '140' MM FRAME 10 TW

BOX XPOS '80' MM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '140' MM FRAME 10 TW

BOX XPOS '120' MM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '140' MM FRAME 10 TW

Boxes, Lines, Shading: BOX, POSITION, SIZE

Use the BOX, POSITION, and SIZE commands for drawing boxes, lines, and shading to print particular windows within a form or passages of text within a window in a frame or with shading.

The SAP printer drivers that are based on page-oriented printers (the HP LaserJet driver HPL2, the Postscript driver POST, the Kyocera Prescribe driver PRES) employ these commands when printing. Line printers and page-oriented printers not supported in the standard ignore these commands. You can view the resulting printer output in the SAPscript print preview.

Syntax:

/: BOX [XPOS] [YPOS] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [FRAME] [INTENSITY]

/: POSITION [XORIGIN] [YORIGIN] [WINDOW] [PAGE]

/: SIZE [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [WINDOW] [PAGE]

BOX Command

Syntax

/: BOX [XPOS] [YPOS] [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [FRAME] [INTENSITY]

Effect: draws a box of the specified size at the specified position.

Parameters: For each of XPOS, YPOS, WIDTH, HEIGHT, and FRAME, you must specify both a measurement and a unit of measurement. Specify the INTENSITY parameter as a percentage between 0 and 100.

XPOS, YPOS

Upper left corner of the box, relative to the values of the POSITION command.

Default: Values specified in the POSITION command.

The following calculation is performed internally to determine the absolute output position of a box on the page:

X(abs) = XORIGIN + XPOS

Y(abs) = YORIGIN + YPOS

WIDTH

Width of the box. Default: WIDTH value of the SIZE command.

HEIGHT

Height of the box. Default: HEIGHT value of the SIZE command.

FRAME

Thickness of frame.

Default: 0 (no frame).

INTENSITY

Grayscale of box contents as %.

Default: 100 (full black)

Measurements: You must specify decimal numbers as literal values (like ABAP numeric constants) by enclosing them in inverted commas. Use the period as the decimal point character. See also the examples listed below.

Units of measurement: The following units of measurement may be used:

TW (twip)

PT (point)

IN (inch)

MM (millimeter)

CM (centimeter)

LN (line)

CH (character).

The following conversion factors apply:

1 TW = 1/20 PT

1 PT = 1/72 IN

1 IN = 2.54 CM

1 CM = 10 MM

1 CH = height of a character relative to the CPI specification in the form header

1 LN = height of a line relative to the LPI specification in the form header

/: BOX FRAME 10 TW

Draws a frame around the current window with a frame thickness of 10 TW (= 0.5 PT).

/: BOX INTENSITY 10

Fills the window background with shading having a gray scale of 10 %.

/: BOX HEIGHT 0 TW FRAME 10 TW

Draws a horizontal line across the complete top edge of the window.

/: BOX WIDTH 0 TW FRAME 10 TW

Draws a vertical line along the complete height of the left hand edge of the window.

/: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT 1 CM FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 15

/: BOX WIDTH '17.5' CM HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW

/: BOX XPOS '10.0' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW

/: BOX XPOS '13.5' CM WIDTH 0 TW HEIGHT '13.5' CM FRAME 10 TW

Draws two rectangles and two lines to construct a table of three columns with a highlighted heading section.

POSITION Command

Syntax

/: POSITION [XORIGIN] [YORIGIN] [WINDOW] [PAGE]

Effect: Sets the origin for the coordinate system used by the XPOS and YPOS parameters of the BOX command. When a window is first started, the POSITION value is set to refer to the upper left corner of the window (default setting).

Parameters: If a parameter value does not have a leading sign, then its value is interpreted as an absolute value, in other words, as a value that specifies an offset from the upper left corner of the output page. If a parameter value is specified with a leading sign, then the new value of the parameter is calculated relative to the old value. If one of the parameter specifications is missing, then no change is made to this parameter.

XORIGIN, YORIGIN

Origin of the coordinate system.

WINDOW

Sets the values for the left and upper edges to match those of the current window (default setting).

PAGE

Sets the values for the left and upper edges to match those of the current output page (XORIGIN = 0 cm, YORIGIN = 0 cm).

/: POSITION WINDOW

Sets the origin for the coordinate system to the upper left corner of the window.

/: POSITION XORIGIN 2 CM YORIGIN '2.5 CM'

Sets the origin for the coordinate system to a point 2 cm from the left edge and 2.5 cm from the upper edge of the output page.

/: POSITION XORIGIN '-1.5' CM YORIGIN -1 CM

Shifts the origin for the coordinates 1.5 cm to the left and 1 cm up.

SIZE Command

Syntax

/: SIZE [WIDTH] [HEIGHT] [WINDOW] [PAGE]

Effect: Sets the values of the WIDTH and HEIGHT parameters used in the BOX command. When a window is first started, the SIZE value is set to the same values as the window itself (default setting).

Parameters: If one of the parameter specifications is missing, then no change is made to the current value of this parameter. If a parameter value does not have a leading sign, then its value is interpreted as an absolute value. If a parameter value is specified with a leading sign, then the new value of the parameter is calculated relative to the old value.

WIDTH, HEIGHT

Dimensions of the rectangle or line.

WINDOW

Sets the values for the width and height to the values of the current window (default setting).

PAGE

Sets the values for the width and height to the values of the current output page.

/: SIZE WINDOW

Sets WIDTH and HEIGHT to the current window dimensions.

/: SIZE WIDTH '3.5' CM HEIGHT '7.6' CM

Sets WIDTH to 3.5 cm and HEIGHT to 7.6 cm.

/: POSITION WINDOW

/: POSITION XORIGIN -20 TW YORIGIN -20 TW

/: SIZE WIDTH +40 TW HEIGHT +40 TW

/: BOX FRAME 10 TW

A frame is added to the current window. The edges of the frame extend beyond the edges of the window itself, so as to avoid obscuring the leading and trailing text characters.
