Total Printed page counting issue - Smartforms

[vijay_kumar134]

Hi,

I have 2 forms for printing PO's. 1st form is printing all our requirements and the next form is printing the summary of the printed forms like number of pages , processed items, Current date/time  etc..

In the Summary form (2nd form) i am displaying the total pages printed, (some PO's having more than one page of line items), i am not able to calculate the additional pages printed int the first form.

Please guide any one.

Thanks in advance.

Vijay,

One option could be to create a window of type 'FINAL' in FORM1. A final window is executed at the end of processing of your form. Here you have a count of total number of pages in FORM1, try exporting that to memory, you can use variable SFSY-FORMPAGES.

Similary, in FORM2 define a another window of type final. Have logic to import from memory total pages of FORM1, and then add SFSY-FORMPAGES( which is tot pages of FORM2). Add both of them to get the final count.

Hope this helps,

Thanks,

-VM.

Hi Vijay,

                What is the variable you have used for printing Pageno?

Please Use SFSY-PAGE & SFSY-FORMPAGES

What's your problem with the solution I wrote before? You are also a developer, are you? I do not see your problem, just work through the documentation and you will find your solution with the suggested stone.

SSF_open

...

First form --> get your pages, save it anywhere

...

second form <--pass the pages, print it

...

SSF_CLOSE

Be happy

Hi Florian,

I tried your sugession.. But i am not able to get it.

Can you guide me any other options to get.

Thanks.

Vijay.

Hi Vijay,

you have to be a bit creative, it's your request, not mine

A solution for it would be:

Create a singleton in your driverprogram with two additional methods implemented:

set_pages_per_form

get_pages

And of course a member, where you can save it, perhaps a table with

VBELN

Num_of_pages

Now you got everything prepared to get your problem solved:

SSF_open

...

First form --> get your pages, save it in the singleton at the end of processing (Maybe MAIN and in the very end a coding-node)

( Repeat the step for every single form )

...

Get the table from your singleton (method get_pages).

second form <--pass the pages, print it

...

SSF_CLOSE

If you do not know, how to create a singleton, use the search.

Now it is up to you, to fix your issue.

Hi Vijay,

just have a look in the Function-group where the 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' is located. In there you will find a lot of Functions and also one called SSF_OPEN

This stone let you concatenate different forms in a row. So you can print your first form, get the information you need (in your case the pages) and afterwards append your summary-form and print it.

That's it. Have fun.
