Use

The SAPscript format conversion allows you to assign and rename paragraph formats and character formats in the source and target texts when converting formatted texts.

Prerequisites
Note

In releases 2.1 and 2.2, the format conversion was still controlled via the tables TTDCF and TTDCW. If you have already worked with format conversions at that time, you will now have to convert to the new procedure starting from release 3.0. To begin with, start report RSTXDUMS. This report puts all old conversions into the new form, so that you can now process them using the function Format Conversion.
