SAP Script absolute text positions

[Former Member]

HI everyone,

I am kind of new to SAP Script and I have some trouble defining correct positions of text.

The point is the following:

I got a lot of boxes, frames and so on with fixed positions.

Every of these boxes and frames create a kind of table with a fixed amount of lines (for instance 5 lines each table).

For instance

Box1

-

---

Customer

-

---

cust1

-

---

cust2

-

---

Box2

-

---

discount

-

---

dis1

-

---

dis2

-

---

I create the boxes by using variable windows fix on the page. The text needs to be written at the main window as I do not know the exact amount of lines (max 5, but can be less). For example, if I can only receive 1 instead of 5 customers, the text for discounts will not be placed at the dicount table correctly. How can I solve this problem? I can not write multiple lines of text in variable windows by using a loop. If I am writing the text at the main window the start of these texts will not be static and absolute?

Greetings from Berlin

You can both write text lines and draw boxes within the MAIN window processing. Check the help files for the BOX and POSITION commands for the box positioning. You may want to google the SAPScript Made Easy Guide and download it as well.
