Positioning Texts on the Form (SAP Library - SAP Smart Forms (BC-SRV-SCR))

Positioning Texts on the Form

Use

You display all texts in the form using text nodes. The only exception are addresses, which use their own node.

Integration

The predecessor node of the text node determines its use:

Examples for using text nodes

Predecessor node	Used to
Subwindow	Exactly position text on one or more pages
Main window	Display text in relation to other nodes in the main window; it may cover several pages
Template	Display texts for table cells of a static table
Table	Display table contents
Header and footer	Display column headings and grand totals in tables
Event node	Display subtotals in a table

Features

There are the following text types:

Text element: to enter new text in the PC Editor

Text module: to include a text module

Include text: to include an existing SAPscript text

Positioning the Text

The position of the text depends on the direct predecessor node (for example, you can assign text of a table cell) as well as on the processing sequence in the tree structure. In addition, you determine output of a text node in relation to the preceding node on the same level. You can append the text directly to the output of that node or start it in a new paragraph or a new line (select via radiobutton).
