With the help of print areas, header and footer are defined for printing:
A print area is a data area and can be assigned to a module like a normal data area. Typical data fields in a print area are, for example:
Module title
Date
Page
Default Print Areas
Information
If a module has no own print areas, the print areas of the module deposited in the Skin of the logged on user in the Module for print area data field, are displayed by default.
If a module contains individual print areas, they are used instead of the default print areas.
If a module does not contain any individual print areas and if no module with default print areas is stored in the Skin data field, no header and footer are displayed upon printing.
The print area has no own DA class, it receives the DA class = 0 like a normal data area.
Assign the required data fields.
You can assign random fields to this print area.
If you want particular texts which do not exist as DIs to be displayed in the print area, you can use the background DI (DI025581) in the Print text parameter of which you can store the required text or the variables for print output objects.
In the Default value parameter, the assigned data fields contain variables or fixed values. In order to give a print area a more attractive layout, it is sensible to define it as a form via the Layout parameter.
