c.Go Back to return to the SAP standard menu.
Test Printing a form
Test prints provide an easy way to check modified forms. On a test
print, SAPscript prints a string of Xs for all of the variables used in the
form. For example, if a variable is 5 characters in length, SAPscript
prints XXXXX in its place.
All windows, except MAIN, are printed as they appear in the
actual output. MAIN contains a list of all defined text elements.
