SAP ABAP SAPscripts

Course details

SAP script is the SAP System's own text-processing system.It looks and feels a lot like other leading text-processing systems. It is used to print pre-formatted text in pre-formatted forms. SAP Scripts comprises of five main components:

1.An editor for entering and editing the lines of a text

2.Styles and layout sets for print layout. These are created independent of the individual texts using the corresponding maintenance transactions and are allocated to the texts later

3.The composer is a central output module. The SAP script composer is invisible to the outside

4.A programming interface that allows you to include SAP script components into your own application programs and to control the output of layout sets from within the programs

5.Several database tables for storing texts, styles and layout sets

Often there are instances where an output from a SAP program is required on a physical paper in a pre-designed format. Using normal ABAP code this is not possible. Instead SAP provides an object called SAPSCRIPT to generate such kind of documents which can contain logos, tables and other objects and which can look like pre-printed documents. This course focuses on the design and use of Layout sets in ABAP programs to generate beautified output in SAP. A layout set is a template designed in SAP to place the stream of data coming from a SAP program on different parts of a physical page. The designer needs tolay outthe various elements that need to be printed on the page and store it as an object in the SAP system. An ABAP program will subsequently call this object to generate an instance of the template thus generating an output document from the program.

In this course on SAPscript, we will be covering the modules like Main elements of SAPscript, Commands that can be used in a layout set, How to include a graphical image, Commands that can be used in SAPscript, Step-by-step walkthrough of example, Example layout set, Example SAPscript code etc.

The following modules are being covered in this course:
