SAP Scripts - Creating a Window

Once you create Pages, you can create a Window on the page. A single page can have multiple windows. To create a window, you have to click the Windows tab.

Run the Transaction SE71 and go to Windows push button.

In the next window, it will show a screen list of windows in a page.

Each form has one window of type MAIN. Such a window is called the main window of the form. For SAPscript forms, the main window has the following functions −

You use it to control the page break.
It contains the text body that can be used for multiple pages.
It allows to fix text elements at the upper and lower margins of the allocated page window.
The text in the main window can extend over several pages. If the text fills one page, the output continues in the window of the next and subsequent pages. You can create max 99 MAIN window 00-98.
