Allow a break in a form via JavaSkript

Mar 30, 2011 7:19 AM

Hi all,

 

I have got a problem regarding breaks in a form. I concentrate data in SAP with ABAP in a table (several pages). And some parts of the table should't be broken in the form (at the end of the page). In ABAP I build a flag to query that via JavaSkript (in the layout).

 

If flag = X --> the rows can be broken at the end of the page 

If flag = ' ' --> the rows shouldn't be broken at the end of the page --> this rows should be located on the next page

 

How can I solve it with JavaSkript?

 

Thank you for your efforts.

    On the pagination tab there is a section where you can program a conditional break .....this will tell the program when to break and when not to .....I do not think that you will be able to pragramatically set the allow break in content flag.

     

    There is also the widow amd orphan controls that will allow you to keep certain objects together but again this woudl be for the whole document and not dynamically set like you are asking

     

    I do not think you will be able to do what you are asking

    This actually works, athough I'm not sure if it's "best practice":

     

    Assuming the rows are bound to data, in the initialize event of your table add the following:

     

    if (flag == 'X')

        this.keep.intact = 'none';

    else

        this.keep.intact = 'contentArea';

    xfa.layout.relayout();

    Hi all,

     

    thank you for the answers. But it didn´t work! I try to describe my problem in another way...

     

    if the flag = X

    I need the function --> subform --> allow pagebreak in the content (check box)   (---->in German --> Seitenumbrüche im Inhalt zulassen)

    if the flag = ' '

    I need the function --> subform --> not allow pagebreak in the content (check box)

     

    I think it is possible to realise it in JavaSkript.

     

     

    Another way is maybe to duplicate the relevant subform (with the conditioned table) and position the skripting in the parent subform.

    - subform1 --> allow pagebreak in the content

    - subform2 --> not allow pagebreak in the content

     

    If flag = X

    use subform 1

    if flag ='  '

    use subform 2

     

    maybe is it possible to realise via Javaskript...thank you all in anticipation!

    Is it possible for you to share the form with us?

    I've sent you a private email with an address to send the form.

    I understand.  Can you describe the structure of the form section in a little more detail?  What object is repeating, and how is it contained?

    I have a working example that is similar to your layout.  Let me know where to send it to.

    Hallo Kevin,

     

    I think I couldn´t receive it, because of our firewall...It would be great if you could describe it.
