Hi,

Form can be composed of many pages with text areas called windows. There are two windows types: MAIN window and VAR window.

MAIN type windows are windows which their contents can be displayed on one or more pages. In the example of an order invoice, if the materials number is big, it will not be possible to display them on one page. The materials must be displayed on many pages. MAIN windows are the most important part of the form. MAIN windows contain texts with variable lengths. If the window text area is filled, SAPscript will print the text on a new page creating a new text area equal to the previous page. Even if the text area has a variable length, its width does not vary. Each form must have a MAIN window.

VAR type window are windows which the text does not vary following the pages number of the form. In the previous example, customer data are inserted in a VAR window because the content is known (Name, address, phone number).

In smartforms...

There are Main, Secondary, Final and Copy windows. Cheers,

Simha.
