Creating Formats for SAPscript 

Use

You have created a page format that your format references.

1. Choose Tools ® CCMS ® Spool ® Spool administration, Full administration and then Format types on the DeviceTypes tab page.
2. To create your new format, on the next screen choose Change and then Create or Create with reference.
3. Give the format a name starting with Y or Z (the reserved namespace for customers). This avoids conflicts with R/3 standard formats. The format and page format names should be identical. Example: If, for example, the page format name is ZDINA3, the corresponding format must also be called ZDINA3.
4. In the field Type, enter S (Format for SAPscript).
5. Select a page format.
6. Select the Portrait and Landscape fields. These fields are purely documentary and have no effect on processing.
7. Save your entries.

To implement the format, you must implement the format in one or more device types (for more information about this, see Implementing Formats for Device Types).

SAPscript uses the standard formats listed below. If you add a new device type, define at least these formats.

Since the format has a purely documentary role, you will need to add commands to the Printer initialization action in the Device type ® Formats to set the paper type at the printer for some of these formats, as indicated in the table. For information about the commands to enter in the Printer initialization action, see Editing Device Type Formats.
