Creation of an EPS Print File

Usage

You can include EPS print files as text element in a SAP script text by using an INCLUDE. For example, you can copy a drawing to the job ticket of an equipment.

Prerequisites

Before you can create an EPS print file, the following requirements must be met:

You must have created an EPS file from the original application file using an external program. As a result, the file has an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format. The EPS file is uploaded to the document info record as a standard text and can be copied to a SAP script text by other applications.

It must be possible for the frontend computer to access the EPS file in the network.

Scope of the Function

You can create an EPS print file either from original application file 1 or from original application file 2. Since texts in EPS print files are language-dependent, it is possible for a document to have an EPS print file in one language, but none in another language.

The system sets the EPS print file exists indicator on the Basic data screen when an EPS print file has been created for a document.

The following graphic shows how an EPS print file is created.

Standard Text Key

The system assigns a standard text key for the EPS print file. The standard text key is identical to the document key.

Example Example

Document :

ADTEST...................

(The string "ADTEST..................." is the 25-character document number. The 19 dots in this example stand for the blanks contained in the document number.)

Document type:	DRW
Document part:	000
Version	00

End of the example.

The system assigns the following text key for this document:

000DRWADTEST...................00000

In another application (for example, plant maintenance), this key is incorporated in a SAP script text using the following INCLUDE:

INCLUDE ‘000DRWADTEST...................00000’ OBJECT TEXT ID ST
