Hi All ,

What is the use of function exporting parameter in Write_form fm.

Hi Mohit,

In the Function Module WRITE_FORM. we have a parameter called Function. For this parameter we have a default value as 'SET'. It can actually take three values SET APPEND DELETE. Each one has a significance.

SET -- It refreshes the current list and places the content again.

APPEND -- It appends the content to the existing one.

DELETE -- It deletes the existing content

Hi Mohit,

The function parameter is used to decide how the data is to be displayed on the window....

it can have 3 possible values

SET

APPEND

DEL

if SET is used the contents are overwritten in the next loop pass in case of variable window... but it works as append in main window

if APPEND is used the contents are appended to the already displayed values.

if DEL is used the contents are displayed and also deleted

I am bit confused about the question ... whether you are asking the export parameter in context of print program or function module editor? If it is based on print program context then you have got enough idea about the exporting parameters.

But if it is in other context i.e. you are asking about the export parameters PENDING_LINES . Then

If a corresponding text is output to the BOTTOM area of the main window by using the TYPE = BOTTOM, it is possible that this will have no space left on the current output page. It is therefore marked internally only for the BOTTOM output of the next page. The actual output is therefore still due.

The parameter value 'X' conveys these facts. For example, at the end of the text this BOTTOM output which is still hanging could be implicitly shifted to the next page with an explicit page break (NEW PAGE).

Hi

Check with this :

The WRITE_FORM function module is used in a print program to write text elements to a window of the form.

Syntax

CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'

EXPORTING

ELEMENT =

FUNCTION =

TYPE =

WINDOW =

IMPORTING

PENDING_LINES =

EXCEPTIONS

ELEMENT = 1

FUNCTION = 2

TYPE = 3

UNOPENED = 4

UNSTARTED = 5

WINDOW = 6

BAD_PAGEFORMAT_FOR_PRINT = 7

OTHERS = 8

.

reward points if helpful

Hi,

Incomplete line output

If a corresponding text is output to the BOTTOM area of the main window (TYPE = BOTTOM), it is possible that this will have no space left on the current output page. It is therefore marked internally only for the BOTTOM output of the next page. The actual output is therefore still due (hangs).

The parameter value 'X' conveys these facts. For example, at the end of the text this BOTTOM output which is still hanging could be implicitly shifted to the next page with an explicit page break (NEW PAGE).

I'm currently having problem as you described. There are several pages printed in the sapscript, and in the main window with the element at the bottom is not printing out on the next page.

Can you elaborate more on how you explicitly call nextpage?

in the form or print program?

Thanks.

HI,

1.Write_form exporting parameters ,calls the window and elements to pass the value from driver program to layout.

2.The elements in layout = the Write_forms in driver program.
