Hi Dinamol,

Text Rotation

To rotate a text on SmartForms, user is to create a command in the window to be rotated. The

name of parameter (e.g., ROTATE_180_x) should not be repeated.

There are a few restrictions on the Text Rotation functions:

- SmartForm will not display the rotated text on the print preview. User is to adjust the

position of the window by checking the actual printout.

- The rotated text should not have more than 1 line.

- Each rotated window should have only 1 line of text.

Regards,

Pradeep

Dinamol, check your printer documentation to see whether a printer command exists to rotate text or not. If it doesn't have this possibility, then you must generate a graphic with this rotated text (if you have to generate it dynamically, check with SAP IGS application, or an external program).

Swarna, your link is only valid for SATO printers (BPL = basic printer language). We don't know which printer is concerned here.
