Transporting Format Conversions and Style Sheet Pr (SAP Library - BC

Transporting Format Conversions and Style Sheet Prototypes

Conversions and style sheet prototypes are stored as SAPscript texts, language ‘E’ in client '00' and can be transported with the mechanisms intended for SAPscript objects:

Create a transport request in client '00' (by hand as shown below, or via report RSTXTRAN).
Release the transport.

Caution

Format conversions and style sheet prototypes are client-independent.

Transporting Format Conversions

Format conversions are SAPscript texts with text object ‘STYLESHEET’ and text ID ‘ABB’.

The text name is 34 characters long and has the following format:

Text name format

Character	Meaning
1	Type of source format: S (style), F (form), D (document template)
2 to 17	Source format name (as given in initial screen of format conversion)
18	Type of target format: S (style), F (form), D (document template)
19 to 34	Target format name (as given in initial screen of format conversion)

These texts are stored in language ‘E’ in client '00'.

The entry in the transport request should appear as follows:

R3TR | TEXT | <text object>,<text name>,<text ID>,<language>

Example

You want to transport the format conversion of form ABC to the document template XYZ.DOT to another system. You create a transport request with the following entry:

R3TR | TEXT | STYLESHEET,FABC-------------Dxyz.dot,ABB,E
(in this example the minus signs signify blanks in the text name)

Alternatively, you can execute report RSTXTRAN and there select the texts you want to transport.

Transporting Style Sheet Prototypes

Style sheet prototypes are SAPscript texts with text object ‘STYLESHEET’ and text ID ‘RTF’. These are also stored in client '00' in the language ‘E’. The text name corresponds to the prototype name.

Example

You want to transport the style sheet prototype XYZ.DOT to another system. The entry in the transport request must have the form:

R3TR | TEXT | STYLESHEET,xyz.dot,RTF,E
