When calling the SAPscript text editor using the function modules EDIT_TEXT or EDIT_TEXT_INLINE, you can use the parameter CONTROL to set certain attributes of the editor. Some of these attributes depend on the editor interface used. The parameter CONTROL uses the structure ITCED.

Using this field, you can determine whether you want the system to automatically insert blank lines at the end of a text up to the bottom of the screen. These blank lines are ready to accept input.

These blank lines facilitate entering text at the end of the original text. The system automatically deletes any unused lines when saving the text.

Possible values:

Use this field to indicate whether you want the system to automatically position the cursor at the end of the text whenever you call the SAPscript editor. By default, the system displays the beginning of the text, starting with the first line of text, and positions the cursor on the first column of the first line.

Possible values:

SAPscript display the following status information in the tile line:

• function (display or change)

• text description from table TTXIT

• text name, if required by table TTXID

The calling program can pass additional information in the parameter EDITOR_TITLE when calling the function modules EDIT_TEXT or EDIT_TEXT_INLINE. The system displays this title text in addition to the SAPscript status information (default).

Use the parameter USERTITLE to suppress the SAPscript status information.

Possible values:

If you suppress SAPscript status information, the system replaces a & character in the parameter EDITOR_TITLE with the editing function (display, change).

Use the paragraph format ‘>‘ to define the contents of a line as template line. The system then highlights the line contents and disables the field for input. This function allows you to separate the text into different sections whose separator lines the user cannot change.

Usually, you want these template lines to appear in the printout as well. Therefore, you must place the paragraph format of the template line into the first two columns of the line. The editor does not display this paragraph format.

If you want to see the paragraph format in the editor, request it using the parameter SHOWTPFM.

Possible values:

The calling program tells the SAPscript editor that a subsequent text exists for the current text. This activates the menu function Goto → Next text in the editor.

Possible values:

The calling program tells the SAPscript editor that a previous text exists for the current text. This activates the menu function Goto → Previous text in the editor.

Possible values:

The editor interface is set according to the interface assigned to the text object. If you want to change an existing interface, you can specify an application SUBID with reference type TDAPP.

You can determine whether to allow switching between display and editing mode in the editor. If you select the parameter, the system displays the appropriate pushbutton in the editort.
