Sapscript: position inside the window

[Former Member]

Hi developers,

I have 2-3 lines in a window that I want to put at the bottom of this window even if the space between the the beginning and the bottom is variable. I can't use another window.

How can I do that?

thanks,

/:Bottom

lines.

/:End Bottom.

just for completeness. /: BOTTOM

........

/: ENDBOTTOM

works only in the MAIN window.

If it does not concern the main you have 2 options:

1:You lnow the exact place where your text has to be situated. Make a new (small) window on that place and put your text in.

2:Counting the lines is a possibility but a lot more difficult.

Use:

/: BOTTOM
P1: LInes
/:ENDBOTTOM

Note: Use the Above in TEXT EDITOR(SE71>WINDOW->TEXT EDITOR).

P1 standard paragraph.

Thanks,

but does it work with ITEM ( /E ) ??

I made mistake before and I need to move to the buttom more than 2-3 lines..

I have just tryied as follow:

/: BOTTOM

/E ITEM_1

...

/E ITEM_2

...

/E ITEM_n

/: ENDBOTTOM

but it's not working... I'm new at Sapscript and I'm modifying an old one so I don't know if there's something wrong!

Why don't create one more window and assign height and width according to your requirement.

This will solve your issue.

Thank you

/E Items will not work within Bottom----Endbutton

Instead use the following

/E ITEM_1
/: BOTTOM
.......
/: ENDBOTTOM
...
/E ITEM_2
/: BOTTOM
.......
/: ENDBOTTOM

/E ITEM_n

/: BOTTOM
.......
/: ENDBOTTOM

Thanks,

it seems to work now with /E items, but I still have some problems because I'm able to display in this way only the last one... Is there something that allows me to append this line or to choose positions inside the bottom area?

[Former Member]

You cannot collect elements or give position within bottom ..Endbottom because once it is called for the first time

Position is fixed and cannot be replaced by another ..

Either you have to give blank lines manually

Or

Set a Flag in the main program.instead of calling with elements

In the script coding instead of using any /E items Use:

Bottom
If &Flag& 
code...to print
Endif
Endbottom
