Some facts about SAPScript Forms

Client specific (client-dependent)

Language specific

Can be translated using the standard SAP translation tools

Note: If the SAPScript form is not available in the client in which the document is

being printed, then the SAPScript checks for the style or layout set in client 000.

Recommendation: Keep only one copy of the SAPScript form in client 000.

Summary

SAPScripts are client-dependant, language specific and can be translated usingthe standard SAP translation tools.

Custom SAPScripts can be created using transaction SE71. The name of thecustom form starts with a Y or Z.

A form can consist of multiple pages and a page can consist of multiple windows.

There are four types of windows : MAIN, VAR, CONST and GRAPH.

Paragraphs contain all necessary information needed to format a paragraph oftext. This is where all the text styles are determined.

Character formats contain all necessary information needed to format a string ofcharacters within a paragraph.

Page Windows contain a list of all the windows for a particular page with

coordinates. Code can be added to the windows to display content dynamically in the form.

Programs RSTXR3TR and RSTXSCRP are used to upload or downloadSAPScripts to or from the SAP system.
