Entering Include Text Properties 

Use

You want to display a SAPscript text in the form. This text type has the same function as the SAPscript command INCLUDE.

If you do not have to use SAPscript texts, we recommend that you use text modules. They are cross-client texts and are linked to Change and Transport System and the translation tools.

Restrictions

The following components are not supported in SAPscript texts and are ignored when the form is processed:

●      SAPscript styles

●      Outline paragraphs

●      Control statements

●      Paragraph properties: page protection, next paragraph on same page

●      Character formats: superscript and subscript, bar codes

●      Special characters

●      System icons, such as ULINE

●      Standard icons

●      Hyperlinks

The following are supported with restrictions:

●      Tabulators, but not for aligning fields within texts

●      SAP characters, but not SAP icons, for example

More information about these restrictions is available in the SAP Notes 894389 and 863893.

Prerequisites

You have created a text node in the context and selected the text type Include Text. The include text, which has been created with SAPscript Editor, exists in the system.

Procedure

       1.      Specify the general properties of the include text, such as the name, description, and status.

       2.      Under Text Name, enter the name under which the include text is stored in the system.

Choose F4 to see a selection of the texts in the system.

You can take the text name from the content of a field at runtime. To do this, enter the name of the field from the interface here.

       3.      Specify the text object. TEXT indicates a standard SAPscript text.

You use transaction SE75 to define separate text objects with their own text IDs for applications. In this way, you can manage application-specific form texts. The TEXT text object with the text ID ST is used for general standard texts that you create with the standard text editor (transaction SO10).

Enter constant values in quotation marks.

       4.      Specify the text ID. The usual ID of a standard SAPscript text is ST.

       5.      Enter the text language in which you want the include text to be inserted.

If specified, the system copies the values for Text Object, Text ID, and Text Language already stored for this text in the SAP system.

       6.      Set the flag No error if text not available if you still want the form to be printed, even if the inserted include text does not exist in the system. If you do not set this flag, the form is not printed, and an error message appears.

       7.      The style assigned to the text node contains formatting for standard paragraphs (‘*’). If you specify a paragraph format in the Standard Paragraph field, you override the format of all standard paragraphs in the include text with this format.

       8.      Under First Paragraph, you can set a paragraph format for the first paragraph of the include text. This overrides the setting in the style. If you leave the Standard Paragraph field empty, all standard paragraphs in the include text are also formatted with this paragraph format.

       9.      Specify the style that you want to use for the include text.

Result

You have created a text node with the text type Include Text. The corresponding text is not inserted until the form is processed.
