Hi madhav,
iam giving the detailed descripton baout scripts...
What is layout set?
A layout set in SAPscript is used for page layout. The layout set contains various elements, which are used for layout control of the individual pages and also contain layout information for texts which are to be output on the individual pages.
The layot of a document is defined in a layot set.
A layout set specified the appearance and structure of a document.
Layout sets contain predefined text modules with space reserved for variable data. You can use these text modules for different application.
Every SAPscript document uses a layout set.
To make changes to your documents, such as moving a piece of text, or changing fonts, paragraph formats, and tabs, you only need to change the layout set.
There are two ways of formatting texts using layout sets:
The text is entered and output in standard text maintenance. You can assign any layout set. Text can also be entered via the layout set a letter header, for example.
The text is formatted via an ABAP/4 program using a layout set. The program can either dynamically output individual predefined text modules, text elements or transfer entire texts, which are to be output in the layout set.
You can use Styles to define the formatting of the text in your documents. A style
determines text formatting by setting the paragraph and character formats used in a
document. You can, for example, use a style to highlight character strings or whole
paragraphs. You can assign a style to any text. Typically, however, youu2019ll use styles
primarily in the main windows of layout sets, where users type or enter text directly
in documents.
Header data is found in both style and layout set maintenance.
In style maintenance, it is used primarily to present important information - designed to make it easier for the end user to select a style. The header data in layout set maintenance, on the other hand, is used for information and control purposes.
Windows are defined in layout set maintenance. They represent areas
which are positioned on pages as page windows and in which text is
later output. At least one window must be defined for each layout set. If
not, a text cannot be formatted by SAP script.
The following window types can be used:
MAIN u2013 Main window in which continuous text is output. This is the window used by dialog users of a print program and layout set. For example the body text of a letter would be entered in MAIN.
VAR u2013 Window with variable contents. The text can vary on each page in which the window is positioned. Variable windows are formatted for each page.
CONST u2013 Window with constant contents which is only formatted once.
A layout set has the following elements:
Header data - Data related to development (created by, development class, etc.) and layout set information (which elements are used) are both stored in the header data. A start page must be entered here.
Paragraph formats - Paragraph formats are required in layout sets - as in styles - in order to format texts. However, they are also used for word processing in layout sets, for example, to format text elements.
Character formats - You can also use character formats to format texts or paragraphs. Unlike paragraph formats, however, they are used to format text within a paragraph.
Windows - Windows are names and window types, which are not physically positioned until they are allocated to pages and units of measurement are specified.
Pages - Pages are defined to provide the system with a start and end point in text formatting.
Page windows - Page windows are the combination of windows and pages, where the dimensions of a window and its position on a page are specified.
The purpose of SAP script control commands is to allow control of the
output formatting. These commands are not interpreted by the SAPscript
editor, but are passed through to the SAPscript Composer for processing. The
composer is the program that converts text from the form displayed in the editor to
the form used for printing.
What is SAPscript and explain its purpose?
SAP Script is the SAP systemu2019s own text-proessing system. Youu2019ll find that it looks and feels a lot like other leading text-processing system that you may use on your personal computer.
Every company needs to output documents with a uniformly defined layout (eg. Invoices, delivery notes, etc..) all the time.
The basic layout of the document is pre-defined , but in many cases, other data has to be merged with it, such as address data or purchase order items. This data might be entered manually by a employee, or retrieved from a database table.
Large quantities of these documents have to be produced. From printing is usually a mattter of large print runs of documents such as payslips, checks, order confirmation, reminders etc.
SAPscript has been developed to meet the above requirements. IT is an integrated tool for text entry and form printing in R/3 applications.
These documents are normally provided by SAP but every organization have their unique waqys of these documents so to customize these and for creating newer ones if required; SAP script is used.
