Last page's page end in smartform??

[Former Member]

Hi!

I am now working on a smartform to print a "signature region" in last page's page end.

I tried using the main window's footer. This could only print it in last page, but not in the page end.

Please kindly advise. Thanks in advance.

Hi Chris,

I am trying to achieve the same thing in smarform - created a footer window and added a condition to print 'only at the end of main'.

Then I expanded my Main windown to overlap with this Footer window. But it doesn't work. The footer window space(blank) shows on every page even though the actual footer value is only shown on the last page due to the condition setting above.

Please advise

Hi Claire,

Please make sure that the the footer of the MAIN Table, has checked only the print time "at End of Table".

Do NOT check the "at Page Break".

Hi Chris,

I tried that and it works.. but somehow there is a overlapping problem at the first page instead.

here's what i did:

in event footer, create text with blank lines, set to print at end of window

in main window, settings for footer - print at end paragraph, uncheck control break

in FOOTER window, also check print at end of window

Any idea?

There should not have anything to overlap at the first page. Since the footer will not print out at the first page. Besides, I did not understand what you mean in your reply.

The version that I am working on is ECC 5.0

Here, I repeat how I solve my problem:

1) In the Main Window (M)'s Table's footer

..1.1) set its print time to be "at End of Table" only.

..1.2) Add in a table line of 1 cell, and add in a text with blank lines as a spacer.

2) Create a Window (S) after the Main Window (M) at the page end

..2.1) Create a Flow Logic - Alternative

..2.2) At the general attribute tab page of this alternative, tick the "Only After End of Main Windows"

..2.3) Add a Text for the signature as the True result of the Alternative.

3) Resize the Main Window (M) 's height to the end of page, which should overlap with the Window (S) created in step 2.

That's all. Hope it helps.

Chris,

I had a situation like this. I followed the same steps as u specified. The problem is when all the line items are ending in the last but one page and only the footer section is being printed in the last page. Is there a way we can prevent this. My footer has totals. All the lines are being printed in the previous page. In the last page main window space is empty and the toals are displayed in the bootom of the page.

Please suggest how I can correct this!

thanks,

You want to print Signature in last page of complete document.

write statement like

if &PAGE& EQ &SAPSCRIPT-JOBPAGES&.

Use your code here.

endif.

Hi Chris,

I am trying to do the same. What did you do to print text at end of last page?

Hi Jack,

I create a WINDOW at the bottom of the page for the signature.

Inside, I create a CONDITION that check "Only after end of main windows", if true, it print the signature text, else it print nothing.

For the MAIN WINDOW, I just change its size to overlap with the signature WINDOW,

this make sure that all the space on the paper is used.

But this will then lead to a problem that, at the last page, the MAIN WINDOW content may overlap with the signature. Then I solve it by adding a TEXT with numerous Carriage return at Main Windows Table's footer, which serve as a spacer for the signature.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks.

Hi Chris,

There is nothing called a Footer window. When u adda table node it gives a two events.

One is header which is executed at the start of the page and another is footer which is executed at the end of the page.

Yes, I tried it. But it could only print that in the "end of the report", i.e. it may be print at the top of the last page.

But now, the requirement is to print that in the "Page end" in the last page of the report.

Please kindly advise. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Chris
