Entering Include Text Properties 

Use

You want to display a SAPscript text in the form.

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 the Change and Transport System and translation tools.

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 the SAPscript Editor, exists in the system.

This text type has the same function as the SAPscript command INCLUDE. Remember that you are not allowed to use any control commands in include texts for PDF-based forms. These commands are ignored when the form is processed.

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.

       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.
