Overview
SAP SCRIPT

It is an SAP tool. which is used to generate printable

business documents like invoice , sale order, delivery
note,Employee forms etc.,

The advanced version of script is smart form .

SAP scripts are client dependent i.e. If a script is developed in
client 100, it is not visible in another client 120 or 130.
Smart forms are client independent

Why scripts are client dependent?

Why scripts are client dependent???

When ever an SAP script is generated it is internally stored as

texts .

All texts are client dependent .

Because texts are client dependent .

SAP scripts are also client dependent .

SE71 is the Transaction code for Scripts .

Components of SAP Scripts :

SAP script is a group of pages.

Each page contains a layout.

The layout is used to design the page.

Page is a group of windows.

We can create 99 Pages only.

Pages:

For every page, we need to specify next page

If next page is not specified then it will consider the same page as
next page.

Components of SAP Scripts :

Windows:

A window contains some information to display on script.

The entire page information is divided in the form of windows.

There are four types of windows:

Main

window

Variable

window

Constant

Graphical

window
window.

Claudia Binder / Jens Stumpe 12

Components of SAP Scripts :

Main window:
A Window which automatically expands depends upon the data
is called main window.
Each page contains only one main Window.
As there are 99 pages only in scripts, we can have maximum 99
main windows only
The main Window data is divided into blocks called as text
elements.
Text Element:
It is used to display the specific block of information.
Text elements are represented by /E.
The entire main Window data is divided into blocks called as
text elements.

Now,Display a purticular text element, so that only that specific

info related to text element is displayed

Components of SAP Scripts :

Constant Window:
A Window which is constant for all the pages is called constant
Window .

Variable Window:
A Window which does not expand i.e., width and height is fixed

Graphical Window:

A window which is used to display graphics or images.

Components of SAP Scripts :

Page windows:

The windows assigned to particular page are called page windows .

Paragraph format :

It is used to specify a particular format

(font size/family/Bold/italic/underlined) for all the characters in a

paragraph .

We can also specify TABS.

Tabs : Tabs are used to specify a position in sap script so that the
text will be displayed at that particular position.

Tabs are represented by ,, (2 commas).

Components of SAP Scripts :

Character format :
A format which is used by a group of characters inside a paragraph
is called a character format .

Layout:

It is a place where we design the page with windows

Function Modules in SAP Scripts :

The various function modules available in SAP Scripts are:

OPEN_FORM

WRITE_FORM

It is used to call another SAP Script into current SAP Script(Nested

Scripts).

END_FORM

It is used to close the form which is opened by open form

START_FORM

It is used to write Some information on the SAP Script form using

Text Element.

CLOSE_FORM

This is used to open a form for execution by loading it into memory

Driver Program::

Driver Program::
A program which contains business logic statements i.e., all
select statements ,loops,appends etc, is called Driver prg.
In simple words, a program which is used to drive or print the
script.
All the variables ,work areas ,internal tables which are declared
in the driver program will be automatically transferred to SAP
Scripts.
If we want to display the variables or workarea values we need
to follow below syntax

Syntax : &variable&
&workarea-fname&

Configuaration of Driver Prg & SAP-SCRIPT

Basically configuaration is done by functional consultants

Once the ABAP consultant develops the SCRIPT and Driver prg,

STEPS FOR CONIGURATION

Go to NACE tcode

Select the Appliction

It should be configured in NACE Tcode, so that the End Users can

directly take the print from the transaction itself w/o executing the
driver prg.

EX--- EF for purchase order

V1 for sales

V2 for Billing
