About page numbers in smartform

[pole_li]

Hi ,

We print picking list in smart form. Every Picking number will have many items, so we have to divide them into several pages, and show the page number like format "current page/total pages", since we will

print many picking list at one time ,and every picking number has it's own "total pages" , so we can not use system variable to identify the pages, we have to count it .

The problem is: in the item lines, there are description fields with variable length, some items may be printed in one line, some may be printed in two lines, the descritpion fields contain chinese characters or/and english characters, it's quite difficult to know if the description will be printed in several lines or not. so it's difficult to count the total pages.

Anyone can help about this? thanks very much!

hi ,

i came across the same problem ...

i assumed that items will not be more than 100 ....

my one page contains almost 50 items ...

so i heard coded like if number of items is more than 50 then in page1 print 1 of 2 and in second page 2 of 2 .

if items are less than 50 only one page and print 1 of 1 ...

decide number of lines u can print in one page .... i think then u can do some thng ...

hope it helps

Hi.

The items is dynamic of every page.

[Former Member]

Since the items are dynamic thats why i suggested u to use final window and print page numbers in that as final window is executed in last so the smartform knows that how many pages will be needed thus populating the sfsy-formpages with total number of pages.

Hi,

Use sort event for the picking number in the Data tab of the table node and use program lines to add to a counter ( local variable ) inside the table node and then clear once for each new picking number.

And display it wherever it is to be displayed.

To print the pages create a window of type Final Window, Final window is executed at the last so here when u use sfsy-formpages it will give u the exact number of total pages.

Are there any other answer

Hi,

Create one window of type Secondary window. in that u can specify

SFSY-PAGE / SFSY-FORMPAGES.

Here SFSY-PAGE-------Current Page

SFSY-FORMPAGES------Total no.of Pages

Read the Question Properly before you answer it.

For every new picking number, the page numbers and total page numbers need to change.

To the OP(Original Poster), Ramakrishna's answer is what you should look into.

Vishwa.
