1. SAP scripts Tips and Tricks
SAP scripts is the standard SAP form design tools for user to developed customized form
printing format such as purchase orders, invoices, checks, labels. With the combination
of third party barcode software (barcode.dll) or printer with bardimm, you can print
barcode directly using SAP scripts.

Reading Text in SAP Scripts
If you only need to output the text, you don't need to used READ_TEXT like in an
ABAP program,
just use the INCLUDE command in SAP Script.
It will read the text and output it to your form.
The Syntax is like this:
/: INCLUDE &T166K-TXNAM& OBJECT &T166K-TDOBJECT& ID &T166K-
TDID& LANGUAGE &EKKO-SPRAS&

SAP Scripts Boxes/Lines/Shading
Setting default parameters for a box:
You can use the POSITION and SIZE commands to set default parmeters for a box.
Instead of:
/: BOX XPOS '11.21' MM YPOS '5.31' MM HEIGHT '10' MM WIDTH '20' MM
INTENSITY 10 FRAME 0 TW
You can write:
/: POSITION XORIGIN '11.21' YORIGIN '5.31' MM
/: SIZE HEIGHT '2' MM WIDTH '76' MM
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW INTENSITY 10
4. This can be useful if you gave several boxes that share the same parameters.
If you want to set the position relatively to the window use POSITION WINDOW
to set the position to the top/left start of the window. Then use POSITION
to set the current position relatively to the start of the Window.
Note that you uses "+" or "-" in the ORIGIN position to the set the position relatively.
/: POSITION WINDOW
/: POSITION XORIGIN '+5' MM YORIGIN '+10' MM
the position is now 5 MM from the left and 10 MM from the top of the window
NOTE: After using the position command you can move the current position
realtively to the last used position
/: POSITION XORIGIN '+10' MM YORIGIN '+20' MM
Now the position will be X = 15 and Y = 30
Drawing a line. You can draw a line by setting the Height or Weidth to 0
and add a frane. E.g. a horizontal line:
/: SIZE HEIGHT '0' MM WIDTH '200' MM
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW XPOS '11.21' MM YPOS '14.81' MM INTENSITY 100

SAP Printer commands in SAPScripts
The command line in the editor must be as follows:
/: PRINT-CONTROL xxxxx
or
5. /: PRINT-CONTROL 'xxxxx'
where xxxxx stands for the five-character name of the print control.
Example:
/: PRINT-CONTROL ZM100
The complete printer command normally resides in the print control.
If characters belonging to the print command follow after the print control in the text
(only useful for the HPL2 printer driver for PCL-5 printers), the text line following after
the PRINT-CONTROL command should begin with an equals sign (=) in the format
column.
Example:
/: PRINT-CONTROL SESCP = *c5G
If you do not use the equals sign, a space character is inserted between the print control
SESCP and the character *c5G.
Refer to OSS note 5996 - How can SAPscript include printer commands?

Different font on the same line
You can have different font on the same line by defining a character format.
For example B for bold text and U for Underline.
In your SAPScript apply like this :
<U>Underline Text</> <B>Bold Text</>

Subject: RE: Orientations in SAPSCRIPT
From: Ralph Klassen
Each form may only have a single orientation but you can create two forms and include
them in the same spool output.
In your ABAP program:
1. call function 'OPEN_FORM', don't pass a value in 'FORM'
2. call function 'START_FORM', include parameter 'FORM' passing the name of your
first form
3. call function 'WRITE_FORM' as normal to output each element
4. call function 'END_FORM'
5. call function 'START_FORM', include parameter 'FORM' passing the name of your
second form
6. call function 'WRITE_FORM' as normal to output each element
7. call function 'END_FORM'
8. call function 'CLOSE_FORM'
Repeat the 'START_FORM' ... 'END_FORM' sequence as required.
I have not tried using page numbers with this technique, I suspect that each form will
restart at 1.

10. SAPscripts How to calculate Totals and Subtotals
I have some doubs in BDC and SMART FORMS. I want to change the material
number using the transaction code MM02 through BDC.
In scripts and smartforms how to calculate totals and subtotals?
To calculate totals and sub totals in sap scripts you have to use subroutines.
Say if you have to add the unit price (KOMVD-KBERT) then in the main window
whereever tat value is picked write this routine
/: DEFINE &TOT_PRICE&
/: PERFORM F_GET_PRICE IN PROGRAM <subroutine prog name> /:USING
&KOMVD-KBERT& /:CHANGING &TOT_PRICE& /:ENDPERFORM
Then write the variable where ever you want it to be printed (mostly it will be in footer
window)
Then create subroutine pool program and you have to write the code.
FORM F_GET_PRICE tables int_cond structure itcsy
outt_cond structure itcsy. data : value type kbert.
statics value1 type kbert.
Read int_cond table index 1.
value = int_cond-value.
value1 = value1 + value.
Read outt_cond table index 1.
outt_cond-value = value1.
Modify outt_cond index 1.
ENDFORM.
I have given a rough outline, please be aware of the variable conversions as Int_cond-
value and outt_cond-value are characters.

Delete Load program for SAPScript
Occassionally, when you make frequent changes to your SAPScript, the system can get
out of sync.
When you view the form, the old data get display without your changes.
This can be fixed by deleting the SAPScript LOAD with program RSTXDELL.

Details information about SAP Barcodes
A barcode solution consists of the following:
- a barcode printer
- a barcode reader
- a mobile data collection application/program
A barcode label is a special symbology to represent human readable information such as
a material number or batch number
in machine readable format.
There are different symbologies for different applications and different industries.
Luckily, you need not worry to much about that as the logistics supply chain has mostly
standardized on 3 of 9 and 128 barcode symbologies - which all barcode readers support
and which SAP support natively in it's printing protocols.
You can print barcodes from SAP by modifying an existing output form.
Behind every output form is a print program that collects all the data and then pass it to
the form. The form contains the layout as well as the font, line and paragraph formats.
These forms are designed using SAPScript (a very easy but frustratingly simplistic form
format language) or SmartForms that is more of a graphical form design tool.
Barcodes are nothing more than a font definition and is part of the style sheet associated
with a particular SAPScript form. The most important aspect is to place a parameter in
the line of the form that points to the data element that you want to represent as barcode
16. on the form, i.e. material number. Next you need to set the font for that parameter value
to one of the supported barcode symbologies.
The next part of the equation can be a bit tricky as you will need to get a printer to print
that barcode font. Regular laser printers does not normally print barcode fonts, only
specialized industrial printers that is specifically designed to support that protocol and
that uses specialized label media and heat transfer (resin) ribbon to create the sharp image
required for barcodes.
Not to fear though, there are two ways to get around this:
- You can have your IT department do some research -
most laser printers can accept a font cartridge/dimm chip (similar to computer memory),
called a BarDIMM that will allow a laser printer to support the printing of barcodes.
- Secondly, you can buy software that you can upload in your SAP print Server that will
convert the barcode symbology as an image that will print on a regular laser printer. I
found that this option results in less sharper barcodes. This option is really if you need to
convert a large quantity of printers (>10) to support barcodes.
Now you have a barcode printed - what next?
Well there are two options, depending on your business requirements:
- You can use an existing SAP transaction on a regular workstation and get a barcode
wedge reader to hook up between the keyboard and the PC. These wedge readers comes
in a wand or scanner format. There are even wireless wedge scanners available that
allows you to roam a few yards from the workstation to scan a label. This approach is
mostly used where you want to prevent human errors in typing in long material, batch or
serial numbers in receiving or issuing of material. The problem is that it's just replacing
the keyboard input and you are basically locked down in one location and have to bring
all the material to that location to process.
- Another solution is to use SAPConsole transactions
or write your own ABAP Dialog programs that will fit onto a barcode enabled wireless
handheld terminal and that will follow the business logic as executed on the shop floor.
These programs are highly complex exercises in industrial engineering and ergonomics
because of the limited screen sizes and limited ability to accept keyboard input. The user
is instructed step-by-step and only scan and push F-keys to interact with the SAP system.
Scan, scan, beep, beep, enter - highly automated.

Do you have a ABAP Question?
Best regards,
SAP Basis, ABAP Programming and Other IMG Stuff
http://www.sap-img.com
18. A: On the Terms & Conditions page, Change the Page counter mode to 'HOLD' to keep
the page counter from incrementing when you print the Term & Conditions.
Q: Can I Print a logo on an Invoice?
A: Save a Logo using Paintshop Pro or Corel Draw as Tiff file. Use RSTXLDMC to
convert the logo to standard text in SapScript. When the program is executed, the path
and file name have to be correctly specified.
Process could be like the following:
Run RSTXLDMC
Enter file name C:MAILCOMPLOGO.TIF
Resolution for Tiff file
Absolute X-position
Absolute Y-position
Absolute positioning
Reserved height
Shift to right
UOM = CM
Text title
Line width for text = 132
Text name ZHEX-MACRO-COMPLOGO
Text ID ST
Text language = E
Postscript scaling
Width & Height according to PS scaling
Number of Tiff gray levels (2,4,9) 2
Then Create a new window 'COMP' with attributes;
Window COMP description Company Logo
Window type CONST
Left margin 7.00 CH window width 10.00 CH
Upper margin LN window height 8.00 LN
Finally in the text element , mention
/: INCLUDE 'ZHEX-MACRO-COMPLOGO' OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE 'E'.
Please note that if object name is not indicated as 'ZHEX...', the logo may not be printed!
You will not be able to see the logo in a test print. The same will be printed in actual
printout.
If you are using two logos in the same layout, the names of the logos should be unique.
Say 'ZHEX-MACRO-LOGO1' and 'ZHEX-MACRO-LOGO2'. Else all the information
will be overwritten.
If the logo is not EXACTLY TIFF 6.0, the same will not be printed.

Advantages of SAP Smart Forms
SAP Smart Forms have the following advantages:
1. The adaption of forms is supported to a large extent by graphic tools for layout and
logic, so that no programming knowledge is necessary (at least 90% of all adjustments).
Therefore, power user forms can also make configurations for your business processes
with data from an SAP system. Consultants are only required in special cases.
2. Displaying table structures (dynamic framing of texts)
3. Output of background graphics, for form design in particular the use of templates
which were scanned.
4. Colored output of texts
5. User-friendly and integrated Form Painter for the graphical design of forms
6. Graphical Table Painter for drawing tables
7. Reusing Font and paragraph formats in forms (Smart Styles)
8. Data interface in XML format (XML for Smart Forms, in short XSF)
9. Form translation is supported by standard translation tools
10. Flexible reuse of text modules
11. HTML output of forms (Basis release 6.10)
12. Interactive Web forms with input fields, pushbuttons, radio buttons, etc. (Basis-
Release 6.10)

Make used of the Table Painter and declare the Line Type in Tabstrips Table
e.g. HD_GEN for printing header details,
IT_GEN for printing data details.
You have to specify the Line Type in your Text elements in the Tabstrips Output
options.
Tick the New Line and specify the Line Type for outputting the data.
Declare your output fields in Text elements

33. The Following are the differences :-
a) Multiple page formats are possible in smartforms which is not the case in SAPScripts
b) It is possible to have a smartform without a main window .
c) Labels cannot be created in smartforms.
d) Routines can be written in smartforms tool.
e) Smartforms generates a function module when activated.
Contributed by : SAP ABAP/4 Programming, Basis Administration, Configuration Hints
and Tips
f) Unlike sapscripts (RSTXSCRP), you cannot upload/download Smartform to your
local harddisk.
It was said that it was provided in CRM 3.0 version, but not available in R/3. You can
download smartforms into Local PC in a XML format. In the same way you can upload
this XML format into Smartform. From the smartform editor itself you can call
download option, if you are working in CRM 3.0 environment.
In R3 also, you can download into XML format. However, it's not sure about uploading.
Refer to the program 'SF_XSF_DEMO'.
In 4.7 Enterprise, other have seen this utlity which is completey missing in 4.6c. There is
functionality to downlaod a complete form or only a particular node. (Utilities ->
Download form). It will create a XML file and save it in the hard disk.
For others, if you want to download/upload the Smartforms source, you will need
the help from the Basis people. What you can do is to create a Transport and then
FTP down to your local harddisk. When you need the Smartform source in
another system, you have FTP up the Smartforms file back to the SAP server.
Finally, the Basis team, will tp it into your system.
g) The protect and endprotect command in sapscript doesn't work with smartforms.
For example on a invoice: First data of position no 80. is printed on page one, other data
of position no 80 is printed on page 2. And there's nothing you can do about it. Actually,
there is something you can do about it. By using a folder node and checking the
'protect' checkbox, everything in that folder will be page protected.
40. Goto Transaction SMARTSTYLES.
There you can create Paragraph formats etc just like in sapscript.
Then in your window under OUTPUT OPTIONS you include this SMARTSTYLE and
use the Paragraph and character formats.
Line in Smartform
Either you can use a window that takes up the width of your page and only has a height
of 1 mm.
Then you put a frame around it (in window output options).
Thus you have drawn a box but it looks like a line.
Or you can just draw "__" accross the page and play with the fonts so that it joins each
UNDER_SCORE.
Difference between 'forminterface' and 'global definitions' in global settings of
smart forms
The Difference is as follows.
To put it very simply:
Form Interface is where you declare what must be passed in and out of the smartform (in
from the print program to the smartform and out from the smartform to the print
program).
Global defs. is where you declare data to be used within the smartform on a global
scope.
ie: anything you declare here can be used in any other node in the form.
Smartforms function module name
Once you have activated the smartform, go to the environment -> function module name.
There you can get the name of funtion module name.
The key thing is the program that calls it. for instance, the invoice SMARTFORM
LB_BIL_INVOICE is ran by the program RLB_INVOICE.
This program uses another FM to determine the name of the FM to use itself. The key
thing is that when it calls this FM (using a variable to store the actual name), that the
parameters match the paramters in your smartform.
Another thing to note is that the FM name will change wherever the SF is transported to.
42. there seem to be a difference in the output of characters per inch (the distance
between characters which gives a layout problem - text in two lines instead of one.
It happens when the two printers having different Printer Controls' if you go to SPAD
Menu (Spool Administrator Menu) you can see the difference in the Printer Control and
if you make the Printer control setting for both the printers as same. then it will be ok.
and also u have to check what is the device type used for both the output devices.
SmartForms Output to PDF
There is a way to download smartform in PDF format.
Please do the following:
1. Print the smartform to the spool.
2. Note the spool number.
3. Download a PDF file (Acrobat Reader) version of the spool by running Program
RSTXPDFT4 and entering the
noted spool number.
SmartForm Doublesided printing question
Your customer wants your PO SmartForm to be able to print "Terms and
Conditinos" on the back side of each page. They don't want to purchase pre-printed
forms with the company's logo on the front and terms & conditions on the back.
Now this presents an interesting problem.
Has anyone else ever had a request like this? If for example there was a 3 page PO
to be printed, they want 3 pieces of paper, the front side of each to containe the PO
information (page 1, 2, and 3) and the back side of each piece of paper to containg
the static "Terms & Conditions" information.
Anyone have a clue how to force this out?
Easy - page FRONT lists page CONTACTS as next page and CONTACTS lists FRONT
as next page. Since CONTACTS does not contain a MAIN window, it will print the
contacts info and then continue on to FRONT for the rest of the main items. Additionally,
set print mode on FRONT to D (duplex) and set CONTACTS to 'blank' (for both resource
name and print mode - this is the only way to get to the back of the page).
Transport Smart Forms
How does one transport SMARTFORM? SE01?
How do you make sure that both, the SMARTFORM & it's function module gets
transported? Or does the FM with same name gets generated automatically in the
transported client?
A smartform is transported no differently than any other object. if it is assigned to a
development class that is atteched to a transport layer, it will be transported.
The definition is transported, and when called, the function module is regenerated.

Display a contents of a table on SmartForm with LOOP
There's a DDIC Table called "Ugyfel" containing 5 rows. I'd like simply to display
all the rows on a SF's Main window.
Please follow this process to display the value from your table "Ugyfel"
1. Go with a transaction code : smartforms
2. Enter the form name like : ysmart_forms1
3. Create
4. Enter the Description for the form
5. From the left side window there will be a form interface to provide table .....
6. Go for tables option
7. ugyfel like ugyfel(ref.type)
8. Pages and window---> page1---> main window
9. Go to the form painter adjust the main window.
10. Select main window and right click --> go for create loop
11. Name: loop1, desc: display loop.
12. Internal table ktab into ktab.
13. select loop right click -> create a text
14. name : text1, desc: display text.
15. Go to change editor.
16. Write the mater what ever you want and if you want to display data from the table
write the table fields as follows:
&ktab-<field1>& &ktab-<field2>&
save & activate then execute ,, scripts will generate a function module like :
'/ibcdw/sf0000031' copy this function module and call in executable program...
For that
1. go with abap editor se38.
2. table: ugyfel.
3. parameters: test like ugyfel-<field1>.
4. data itab like ugyfel occurs 0 with header line.
5. select * from ugyfel into table itab where field1 = test1.
6. call function '/ibcdw/sf0000031'
7. tables
ktab = itab.
Save and activate the program ( ^f 3).
46. If you want to display all the transaction code (total - 57,048) you have to change the
Fields: Maximum number of hits to 99999 (default 500).
or
Simply goto transaction SM01, although this tcode is to Lock/Unlock any transaction
code, you can also view all the tcode available in the R/3 system from here.
or
Goto transaction SE93
There are two ways where you can find the list of transaction codes in SE93.
Method 1:
You must be familiar with the starting characters strings for each of the R/3 application
modules.
Assuming you know that most Materials Management transaction codes start with MM.
In the Fields: Transaction code, type in MM* and press the function key F4
The list of transaction code starting with MM will be displayed.
Method 2:
On the Top Menu, click Utilities - Find - Execute and the first 500 transaction will be
display.
If want to display all the tcodes, make sure you remembered to change the Fields:
Maximum no. of hits right at the bottom of the screen.

47. How to get the field descriptions of a table?
I need to get the associated data element descriptions of all the fields in a table. I
think there's a way to do that using the SELECT statement.
Can you please give me in detail, the various steps and methods to find the
corresponding SAP tables and fields for a particular transaction code, for example
(CS03).
Do the following 2 steps. Then create your ABAP program accordingly with the
SELECT statement.
1. From table DD03L, give your tablename and get all of its field names and
corresponding data element names.
2. From table DD03T, get the description of each data element you have got in step 1.
Then Use Function Module DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET
The sample program will look like this:
REPORT ZTABLEFIELDNAME.
TABLES: DFIES,
X030L.
DATA: BEGIN OF INTTAB OCCURS 100.
INCLUDE STRUCTURE DFIES.
DATA: END OF INTTAB.
PARAMETERS: TABLENM TYPE DDOBJNAME DEFAULT 'MSEG',
FIELDNM TYPE DFIES-FIELDNAME DEFAULT 'MENGE'.
call function 'DDIF_FIELDINFO_GET'
exporting
tabname = TABLENM
FIELDNAME = FIELDNM
LANGU = SY-LANGU
* LFIELDNAME = ' '
* ALL_TYPES = ' '
* IMPORTING
* X030L_WA = WATAB
* DDOBJTYPE =
* DFIES_WA =
* LINES_DESCR =
TABLES
DFIES_TAB = INTTAB
* FIXED_VALUES =
EXCEPTIONS
NOT_FOUND = 1
INTERNAL_ERROR = 2
48. OTHERS = 3.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
WRITE:/ 'Field name not found'.
endif.
LOOP AT INTTAB.
WRITE:/ INTTAB-TABNAME, INTTAB-FIELDNAME, INTTAB-FIELDTEXT.
ENDLOOP.
*** End of Program
OR
Step 1.
Run the transaction and click on System -> Status. Note the program name shown under
the transaction code.
Step 2.
Run SE49 and enter the program name you identified in step 1 (SAPLCSDI) and then
press enter.
This will identify the tables used, however, as you want to know the fields used as well
then you may have to resort to looking at the actual code (get a developer involved if
you're not one) using transaction SE80.
In this case the transaction CS03 is assigned to a screen with a function group so it's a
slightly tricker process, hence the need for a developers service.
For all the tables, descriptions and fields you can refer to these tables:
DD02L : ALL SAP TABLE NAMES
DD02T : DESCRIPTION OF TABLE NAMES
DD03L : FIELDS IN A TABLE.

Basic Knowledge and System Navigation Question
How to close a window?
If we want to stop a transaction in the middle, Right click on the end button (X) on the
top right corner of the window. Then select "stop transaction".
As we dont have STOP icon as we have in WINDOWS, this will help in the same way.
Its a very small tip, but will help a lot.
With Compliment by: Bhaskar
Name two ways to start a transaction.
- Dynamic Menu
- Command Field
Why do you create user-specific parameters?
They supply defaults to R/3 fields. If a field is indicated, the system automatically fills in
default value. Depending on the field definition, the entry can also be replaced with a
value entered by the user. (Concept of PARAMETER ID)
Name the three different kinds of messages in the R/3 system. What is the difference
between them?
A message can have five different types. These message types have the following effects
during list processing:
A (=Abend):
The system displays a message of this message type in a dialog window. After the user
confirms the message using ENTER, the system terminates the entire transaction (for
example SE38).
E (=Error) or W (=Warning):
The system displays a message of this message type in the status line. After the user
64. chooses ENTER, the system acts as follows:
While creating the basic list, the system terminates the report.
While creating a secondary list, the system terminates the corresponding processing block
and keeps displaying the previous list level.
I (=Information):
The system displays a message of this message type in a dialog window. After the user
chooses ENTER , the system resumes processing at the current program position.
S (=Success):
The system displays a message of this message type on the output screen in the status line
of the currently created list.
What is a data dictionary or repository?
Central catalog that contains the descriptions of an organization's data and provides
information about the relationships between the data and its use in programs and screens.
The data descriptions in a Data Dictionary is also called metadata, i.e., data that describes
other data.
The ABAP/4 Dictionary stores system-wide data definitions. When you create a new data
definition, the Dictionary tool does all the processing necessary to create the definition.
You can use the Dictionary tool to look up the "definition" of objects in your R/3 System.
What is a matchcode?
Comparsion key. A matchcode allows you to locate the key of a particular database
record (e.g. account number) by entering any field value contained in the record. The
system then displays a list of records matching the specifications.
If you want an end user to see a specific menu after logging on the R/3 system, how
could you do that?
User maintenance transactions allow the system administrator to create and maintain user
master records. This includes the generation and assignment of authorizations and
authorization profiles.

66. (Choose OLAP and WHM for your relevant Cubes)
Question:
3. What kind of tools are available to analyse a specific query in detail?
Answers:
o Transaction RSRT
o Transaction RSRTRACE
Question:
4. Do I have a overall query performance problem?
Answers:
o Use ST03N -> BW System load values to recognize the problem. Use the
number given in table 'Reporting - InfoCubes:Share of total time (s)'
to check if one of the columns %OLAP, %DB, %Frontend shows a high
number in all InfoCubes.
o You need to run ST03N in expert mode to get these values
Question:
5. What can I do if the database proportion is high for all queries?
Answers:
Check:
o If the database statistic strategy is set up properly for your DB platform
(above all for the BW specific tables)
o If database parameter set up accords with SAP Notes and SAP Services (EarlyWatch)
o If Buffers, I/O, CPU, memory on the database server are exhausted?
o If Cube compression is used regularly
o If Database partitioning is used (not available on all DB platforms)
Question:
6. What can I do if the OLAP proportion is high for all queries?
Answers:
Check:
o If the CPUs on the application server are exhausted
o If the SAP R/3 memory set up is done properly (use TX ST02 to find
bottlenecks)
o If the read mode of the queries is unfavourable (RSRREPDIR, RSDDSTAT,
Customizing default)
Question:
7. What can I do if the client proportion is high for all queries?
Answer:
