Definition
Name of a form. The name of a form has a maximum length of 16 characters and can include upper case letters and numeric characters. It must begin with a letter.
A form in SAPscript is used for page layout. The form 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.
To enable text formatting, the appropriate form must be assigned to the text. In the SAPscript standard text editor this occurs via a menu selection. A list of all the forms available in the system is displayed, from which a form can then be selected by the user.
A form definition contains the following elements:
Header data:
This is general information about the form, such as the user ID of the person who created it, a short text describing the form, and global control data, such as font used and page format.
Paragraphs:
Paragraphs are the real layout elements in SAPscript. Every text entered in the editor consists of various paragraphs. The beginning of a paragraph is indicated by a paragraph tag in the left column of the editor. Paragraph names and attributes are defined in the form.
Characteristics or attributes which can be defined for paragraphs include text alignment, line spacing, font used etc.
Character strings:
Character strings are layout elements relevant for a section of text within a paragraph. They are inserted in the continuous text. The beginning of a section of text is marked with the character combination <XX> and the end with </>. Here XX is the name of the character string, which is defined in the form.
Windows:
Windows represent logical units. Although they do not have a physical position on the page, they have a name which reflects the purpose of the text to be displayed in the window. For example, an address window, a window for a letter header etc.
A window type is assigned to every window. The most important type is the main window. "Continuous" text appears in the main window. The text can therefore extend over the main windows of several pages. The other window types, on the other hand, do not allow text which does not fit in the window to be continued in the window on a subsequent page.
Pages:
One or more pages which are to appear in the form are defined here. The attributes of a page include the name of the next page and the type of page numbering. The user determines the page sequence by specifying the next page and defining the first page of the form in the header data.
Page windows:
A page window is defined by specifying the position and size of a form window on a form page. The page window describes the position of a window on a specific page of the form and therefore the area in which text can be output in the form.
