SAP Note 2374 - SAPscript: Page formats and editing types

Component : SAPscript -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/2374 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note clarifies that the X_PAPER identifier in SAPscript does not represent a page format but an editing type, which often leads to confusion. SAPscript requires a specified page format such as DINA4 for form maintenance; this can be configured in SPAD where page dimensions and orientation are set. Unlike page formats, editing types like X_PAPER and DINA4, also configured via SPAD, control editing through specific printer commands rather than defining physical page characteristics. Thus, when SAPscript is used, an editing type is equated to a page format to facilitate print management. Furthermore, unsupported editing types starting with 'X' can lead to errors or system termination, implying that such identifiers are reserved and should not be user-defined.
