Style and Form Defined
2008-02-11 20:01:00
Styles A style defines the set of paragraph and character formats that are available for formatting a document. A typical style contains, for example, a definition for a standard paragraph, list paragraph formats, and possibly special-purpose paragraph formats for headings, data in forms, and so on. A style also defines such character formats as boldface and italics. If you select a style, this style provides the character and paragraph formats for your document. Any formats defined in the form selected for a document are ignored. Be careful, therefore, about selecting a style if none is currently selected. Selecting a style in this case can override formats in the form and produce unpredictable results. An include text preserves the style assigned to an included text. If your document is formatted with the S_OFFICE style and you include a document that uses the S_DOKUS1 style, SAPscript formats the included text according to S_DOKUS1; the other text is formatted with S_OFFICE. ...

HTML Export
2008-02-11 19:59:00
Use The SAPscript editor internally calls the function module CONVERT_ITF_TO_HTML. This function module is used by other applications as well, for example, when converting OSS Notes, for ABAP documentation, and for glossary and IMG texts.The function module CONVERT_ITF_TO_HTML converts a SAPscript text to HTML to allow you to display the text using any HTML3.X browser (Netscape, MS Internet Explorer, and so on). The function module requires the text header (DDIC structure THEAD) and the text lines (DDIC structure TDLINES) as input.After successful conversion, the function module returns a table that contains the corresponding HTML text (DDIC structure HTMLLINE). During the conversion, SAPscript control commands, standard symbols, and include texts are resolved as far as it is possible without processing the form (that is, without using the composer).To assign SAPscript paragraph and character formats to HTML formats, use the appropriate tables with the function call.Conversion is...

SY-SUBRC = 1: SAP GUI communication error. SY-SUBRC = 2: Error when calling function in SAP GUI. The OLE function modules are only implemented under Windows. FREE OBJECT belongs to a group of key words that allows you to process external objects with ABAP. At present, only the object model OLE2 is supported, i.e. all objects must be of type OLE2_OBJECT.
