Page format change in SAP script

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a script with page format as DINA4. Our requirement is that for a particular region we want to have page format as LETTER. I assume that standard SAP doesn’t allow this. So we have customized the standard FM to achieve this. Now we are able to get the printouts. But one problem we are facing is as these formats have different width and height we may lose out on some data in printout. Is there any page or window compression kind of thing available so as to fit all the data correctly in the printout? Any pointers regarding this will be highly appreciated.

Hi Amol,

The following link might be useful: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc2346.txt

It provides some suggestions on how to fit a single layout onto both A4 and Letter paper.

I'm curious - what customizations did you make to the standard function module to achieve your output on LETTER and DINA4? Do you still use a single SAPscript or do you have a separate SAPscript for each page format?

Position the windows in the overlapping area between DINA4 and LETTER format.
