Hi,

Refer this link for step by step procedures with screen shots.

SAPSCRIPTS:

-

---

This is a tool used to redirect SAP data to output devices. SE71 is the Tcode

to create SAPScript.

Components of a SAPScript tool are:

1. BASIC SETTINGS.

Paragraph format, character format.

2. ADMINISTRATIVE SETTINGS.

Name of the form, short description.

Layout is used to create a form in SAPScript. Layout is a collection of pages.

Page is a collection of Windows.

Types of Windows:

-

---

1. Main Window - This is a common window for all pages. This is a default window.

2. Constant Window - This window is used to create footer space, header space for a particular page.

3. Variable Window - This is a subwindow.

4. Graphical Window - This is an optional window, which is used to create logos or some other graphics for the page.

NAVIGATIONS FOR CREATING A SAPSCRIPT:

-

---

SE71 -> Specify Form name starting with Z or Y (ZSHABFORM) -> Click on Create -> Opens an interface -> Enter short description -> Click on 'Paragraph Format' from Appn. toolbar -> Specify Paragraph Name (P1)-> Press Enter -> Enter short description -> Click on 'Definitions' pushbutton from application toolbar -> Specify Default Paragraph (P1) created -> Click on Layout pushbutton from appn. toolbar -> Opens a layout with a default window 'MAIN' -> Right click on Main Window -> Select 'Edit Text' -> Opens a Line Editor -> Specify a statement -> Come back -> Save -> Activate the form -> A SAPscript is created.

To invoke the form created, we have to create a print program. Create an Executable Program

and specify the following:

CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'

EXPORTING

FORM = 'ZSHABFORM'

LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU.

CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'

EXPORTING

ELEMENT = 'ELEMENT'

WINDOW = 'MAIN'.

CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'.

-> Save -> Activate -> Execute -> Opens an interface -> Specify output device as LP01 -> Click on Print Preview (F8) pushbutton -> Executes the form.

The FM 'OPEN_FORM' is used to call the sapscript form. Here, we have to specify the name of the form as an argument.

'WRITE_FORM' is used to specify the name of the text elements and window types.

'CLOSE_FORM' is used to save and close the form attributes.

The function modules OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM are mandatory ones.

PASSING ARGUMENTS TO THE FORM:

-

---

In Line editor, specify an argument enclosed by an ampersand symbol (&).

eg. &XYZ&.

Save -> Activate the form.

To pass a value from the print program to the form, declare the variable as follows in Print PRogram:

DATA XYZ(10) VALUE 'ABC'.

....OPEN_FORM

...

....CLOSE_FORM

Save -> Activate -> Execute.

PASSING TABLE VALUES AS AN ARGUMENT TO SAPSCRIPT:

-

---

In the line editor, specify the table field arguments enclosed by '&' symbol as follows:

/E ELEMENT

&KNA1-KUNNR& ,, &KNA1-NAME1& ,, &KNA1-LAND1&

Save -> Activate.

In the Print Program, specify following code:

TABLES KNA1.

CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'

EXPORTING

FORM = 'ZSHABFORM1'

LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU.

SELECT * FROM KNA1.

CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'

EXPORTING

ELEMENT = 'ELEMENT'

WINDOW = 'MAIN'.

ENDSELECT.

CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'.

Save -> Activate -> Execute.

PASSING INTERNAL TABLE AS AN ARGUMENT TO THE FORM:

-

---

In line editor, specify following arguments:

/E ELEMENT

&ITAB-KUNNR& &ITAB-NAME1& &ITAB-LAND1&

Save -> Activate.

In Print Program, specify following code:

DATA ITAB LIKE KNA1 OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

SELECT * FROM KNA1 INTO TABLE ITAB.

CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'

EXPORTING

FORM = 'ZSHABFORM1'

LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU.

LOOP AT ITAB.

CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'

EXPORTING

ELEMENT = 'ELEMENT'

WINDOW = 'MAIN'.

ENDLOOP.

CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'.

-> Save -> Activate -> Execute.

ADDING IMAGES TO THE FORM:

-

---

Create a .bmp file and save it in a directory

-> Goto SE78 Tcode -> Double click BMAP Bitmap images

-> Click on Import icon from appn. toolbar -> Opens an interface

-> Specify the path of .bmp file from the OS

-> Specify the name for the image -> Select Color bitmap image radiobutton

-> Click on Continue -> Image is imported.

To add the imported image into the form, right click on the form layout

-> Select Create Graphic -> Opens an interface

-> Select image from the form directory

-> Select Color bitmap image radiobutton

-> Specify resolution as 100 -> Continue

-> An image is added to the script.

Simply call the form from the print program.

To upload .TIFF files into the SAPscript directory, make use of a predefined executable program called as RSTXLDMC.

In SE38 Tcode, specify the above name, click on execute pushbutton from application toolbar -> Opens an interface -> Specify the file path -> Execute.

Text Elements in the line editor are used to avoid data duplication.

Reward if helpful.

Regards.
