Variables for Printing Data on Cover
Sheets
There are two types of texts on cover sheets:
· Static texts. These are texts that structure the cover sheet, such as field names like User Name, User Address, and so on.
The SAP R/3 cover sheet actions use the "TP_" variables of the spool system to print these texts. The “TP_” variables are translatable and are output in the language specified in the output device definition in the SAP R/3 spool system.
· Dynamic texts. These are texts that output variable information such as the user’s name, number of pages, and so on.
The SAP R/3 cover sheet actions use three types of variable to output dynamic texts. These are spool, user address, and profile variables.
"TP_" Translatable Variables for Static Texts
The TP_ variables let you insert static texts, such as field names, in a cover sheet.
The standard set of TP_ variables with their default English translations is shown in the table below. However, you can add your own TP_ variables and your own translations of these variables. For more information, see Working with the “TP_” Cover Sheet Variables.

Dynamic Variables: Spool, User Address, and Profile Variables
You can use any of the variables shown in the following tables in your cover sheet.
Enter the variables in the following format: $(<Variable>).
Each set of dynamic variables derives its values from a different source:
· The "User" variables are replaced with the User address information in the user master record. These variables are listed in the "User variables" table below.
You can display the content of the user address variables. To do this, choose:
– System → User Profile → Own Data (displays your own address data)
– Tools →Administration →User Maintenance → Users and then Goto → Address (display address data for any user).
If you have maintained the address data in your user master records, then you can output these values on cover sheets by using the user address variables. For example, you can print a user’s name, room number, and telephone number as they are recorded in the user master record on a cover sheet.
· The spool system variables are replaced by values that the spool system specifies during the generation of a spool request. These variables are listed in the second table below.
· The profile variable in the third table is replaced with the value of the rspo/layout system profile parameter. The profile of the SAP R/3 server where the spool request was generated provides the value.
