Template and Table painter

Difference b/t
Template and
Table painter

Hi,
Table Painter is used to design layout of Templates & Tables.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/4b/83fb4edf8f11d3969700a0c930660b/frameset.htm
You can say its nothing but graphical format of template.
Template is to display a table whose layout and size (number of lines and columns) is determined before the runtime of the application program. For this reason, a template is also called a static table.

DW Template and table jump from page to page

Hi,
I have put together a rather quick, basic site for a friend
in need (meaning=bare bones here to get it started faster). It's
template-based and table-based.
The site is generally working okay except that the content in
terms of the tables jumps slightly to the left or to the right
during navigation between pages. It all hangs together, but it
shifts slightly, so I know something is out of line.
The navigation is done with Fireworks CS3, so there may be
something wrong with how my slices are set up. I've tweaked them a
bit and made them better, but everything still shifts between
pages.
I appreciate any help or assistance anyone could offer.
Here's the Url:
Billy Marcus Website
Many Thanks, Frank B.

I saw no evidence that this was occurring. Or maybe I looked
after you
fixed it? Looks like it.
Replace what you have with this -
:root { overflow-y:scroll; }

Difference between template and table in smartforms

what is the difference between a template and table in smartforms

Hi Krish,
 Template is used for proper allignment of data which table is used for displaying multiple data.
We can say Template is for static data and Table is for dynamic data.
Suppose we have a requirement in which we have to allign the customer address in such a way as shown below:-
Name- Krishna Company- WIPRO Location- Chennai
Desig- S/W Native - Mumbai
Then for proper allighnment we can create a template and split that into 3 columns and 2 rows and create text elements for each cell display a proper allighned data at the output.
When we include a template inside a loop it gives the same property as a table.
When we have mutiple data which is to be extended to the next page like when we display all employee details in a company we use table.
Table has 3 sections , HEADER, ITEM ,FOOTER
The header secntion will be executed once and it will loop at the item level. at the end footer will be executed.
Hope U got some idea
Reward Points if helpful,

Template and table

hi,
could any body update me what is the main difference between table and template in smartforms.

Table exteds dynamically.
Template is fixed in size.
template is Output of a table containing static data
these are the Possible direct successors-All except window, page, table,
and template nodes
Table - Output of a table containing application
data and these are the Possible direct successors-as with template node

How to create a PDF with substituted key-value and table-values using a template language

I have about 50 key-values and 10 table-values that I want to substitute into a formatted report template (language can be anything standard, would create a small number of these templates) and then use an Adobe tool to substitute the values into the template and produce a PDF. Preferably the template language would permit some basic conditional logic (if <key #> has value <value> then <show key label here> and <key value here> in close spatial proximity on the form) and permit embedding of a static graphic logo, text with fonts/styles, etc. to produce a polished report but also handle pagination (e.g. enable page breaks or numbering) to be handled automatically.
What is a recommended template language and product to accomplish this?

Are you thinking of something like a blank form that you can enter information into, save, and send to another user? If so, what you want is possible. If you want more information, post again and include more details about how you want to use it and how the recipient will use it.

Passing values to an internal table and use it with the table painter

Hi,
I have seen this topic here before but the answers didn't help me. Maybe I,m doing something wrong.
The problem is that I defined the following structure on the |Types| tab of the |Global Definitions| section:
TYPES: BEGIN OF DETAILS,
 EBELP TYPE EKPO-EBELP,
 BSMNG TYPE EBAN-BSMNG,
 LFDAT TYPE RM06P-LFDAT,
END OF DETAILS.
Then defined the following definition on the |Global Data| section:
WA_DETAILS TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF DETAILS WITH HEADER LINE
The problem is that when I try to assign a value to one of the fields in the program code like this:
LOOP AT WA_EKPO.
 WA_DETAILS-EBELP = WA_EKPO-EBELP.
 WA_DETAILS-EMATN = WA_EKPO-EMATN.
 MODIFY WA_DETAILS.
ENDLOOP.
gives me the following error:
"WA_DETAILS" is not an internal table -the "OCCURS n" specification is missing.
Then if I add the "OCCURS 10" to the definition of the Global Data the error "OCCURS 10" is not expected.
How can I define, assign values and use as a parameter an internal table defined with types for use it with the table painter?

Hi,
if it is one record in wa_details. you can directly write as follows..
REPORT ZCR_TEST1 .
TYPES: BEGIN OF details,
 ebelp TYPE ekpo-ebelp,
 bsmng TYPE eban-bsmng,
 lfdat TYPE rm06p-lfdat,
 ematn TYPE ekpo-ematn,
 END OF details.
DATA: wa_details TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF details WITH HEADER LINE,
 wa_ekpo TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF details WITH HEADER LINE.
wa_details-ebelp = '1'.
append wa_details.
wa_ekpo-ebelp = '3'.
append wa_ekpo.
LOOP AT wa_ekpo.
wa_ekpo-ebelp = wa_details-ebelp.
wa_ekpo-ematn = wa_details-ematn.
modify wa_ekpo.
endloop.
Normally it wont be one record, so u need to put read statement with key in LOOP and ENDLOOP.

Template and pageflow

Hi,
I created a template with a sidebar comtaining few anchors to navigate to different pageflows. Then every page in every pageflow uses this template.
It seems in each pageflow, I need repeatedly create the same actions used in the template buttons. Using the href in the anchor rather than action, or using a nested page flow could not solve the problem.
Thanks,

REPORT WRITER AND REPORT PAINTER

Hi Techis,
Will anybody pls tell me the details workin of reort painter and report writer along with Tr code and also will u pls give me the steps to execute such type of report.
Rewards will be given for each reply.

Santosh L.

hi santosh,
Where Is Report Painter/Report Writer Used?
Initially, both tools were only available to the FI/CO modules. Later, with the introduction of the Logistics Information System and Flexible Analyses in Release 3.x, the functionality of these tools was further expanded. It still is not widely known that the Report Painter/Writer can be used for reporting against structures other than those delivered in FI and CO (see TechTalk on page 8-4).
A common misconception in the user community is that Report Painter/Report Writer can only be used to report against a single table. However, some reporting structures do report against multiple tables. For example, CCSS (for Cost Center Accounting) refers to tables COSP, COSS and more, depending on the key figure configuration. Similarly, FI-SL (Special Purpose Ledger) reporting structures include summary and line-item tables (the key figure set determines where the data comes from).
To configure other table joins, views may be created joining the necessary tables, and views can be added to the control tables, via Flexible Analyses in LIS. Report Painter/Report Writer can be used in almost any application area in R/3 to report on currencies and quantities.
Data tables supported
Both Report Painter and Report Writer can be used to report on the following tables and tables types:
< Evaluation structures set up in the Logistics Information System (LIS). These structures normally begin with an S or ZF. Several different tables and views within the R/3 System can be added as evaluation structures.
Note: You cannot add cluster tables, such as BSEG.
< CCSS is used for Cost Center Accounting (CO-CCA), Internal Orders (CO-OPA), Activity Based Costing (CO-ABC) and for cost element reports in Project Systems (PS).
< GLFUNCT is used for functional area reporting in cost-of-sales accounting.
< GLPCT and GLPCOP are used for Profit Center Accounting (CO-PCA/EC-PCA).
< FILC is used for Legal Consolidations (FI-LC).
< COFIT is used for the Controlling Reconciliation Ledger (CO-CEL).
< ZZ tables are created for the Special Purpose Ledger (FI-SL).
< FIMC is used for consolidations in the Enterprise Controlling module (EC-LC).
< GLT0 is used for Financial Accounting (General Ledger) reports by account, company, and business area (FI-GL).
< KKBC, KKBE, and KKBU are used for the Controlling Product Costing module (CO-Costing).
< New in Release 4.0A: RWCOOM is used for CO-CCA, CO-OPA, and CO-ABC. RWCOOM is used for special standard reports like internal order budget reports, cost center budget reports and cost component reports.
Note: RPPS was used for Project Systems (PS). However, it is obsolete and will no longer be supported in Release 4.0. In Release 3.x there were only two special reports (6P70 and 6P71) using RPPS. These reports cannot be called directly, but via ABAP reports RKOPLAN0 and RKOPLAN1.
How to Access Report Painter/Report Writer?
To access the Report Painter you may use either of the following two methods:
< Transaction FGRP
< From the SAP main menu, choose Information systems ® Ad hoc reports® Report painter.
Report Writer functions can be accessed from within the Report Painter. To access Report Writer, choose the following menu path from the SAP main menu:
Information systems ® Ad hoc reports® Report painter® Report Writer.
How Is Report Painter/Report Writer Organized?
Report Painter/Report Writer has four main components:
< Sets: Sets are logical groupings of characteristic values. For example, a cash line on a balance sheet is made up of a set of cash accounts or an energy product line on an inventory report is made up of a set of energy products. Variables can also be created which are placeholders for sets, or values within sets.
< Libraries: Libraries control which characteristics and key figures from a table are available for reporting.
< Reports: Reports hold a definition of the rows, columns, and overall data selection. They also include the header and footer texts and layout settings.
< Report Groups: Report groups can contain one or more reports. The report group is what you executenot the actual report. A report group is generated to create a set of ABAP programs that produce the reports.
How Does Report Painter Differ from Other Reporting Tools?
< With the exception of row titles which have text fields, Report Painter/Report Writer reports display numerical fields only (for example, dollar and quantity fields). This is not a requirement for ABAP Query and typical line item reporting tools, which can display arbitrary text columns.
< While printed Report Painter/Report Writer reports appear much the same way on paper as they do on screen, the Drilldown reporting tool produces a different output format. Drilldown reporting is an online analytical tool which can be used to drill down to different levels of detail, but it is infrequently used for printing.
< Report Painter/Report Writer reports are hierarchical and take advantage of configured hierarchies (for example, with cost center hierarchies). You can also execute Report Painter/Report Writer reports from each level within a hierarchy.
< Report Painter/Report Writer reports can handle multiple currency/quantity units within a single column.
< Report Painter/Report Writer is well suited to handle reports that require mass production. For example, Report Painter/Report Writer is a particularly effective tool for creating month-end reports.

Hi Priya,
Here are some salient features:
1) Report Painter has 90% of the functionality that Report Writer has and is easier to develop.
2) The last time I did anything on it, from the SAP main menu, choose Information systems->Ad hoc reports->Report painter.
3) Report Writer functions can be accessed from within the Report Painter.
4) Report Painter/Report Writer has four main components: Sets, Libraries, Reports, Report Groups
5) The main difference between the two RW and RP is the graphical user interface of the Report Painter.
6) It is generally used in FI-SL reporting.
For more information, please check this links.

Difference between ALV and Table control

Hi folks,
i want to know the major differences between AlV and table controls.
i know that table control is designed in screen painter, but i want to know the major diff between Table control and ALV.
helpful answers will be rewarded.
Regards,
Naveen

Hi Naveen,
Basically ALV is a way to display the output and Table Control is designed in screen painter through which you can get entries in Table Control, can delete some records etc for further processing and its not use only for Display.
ALV is Application List viewer:-
Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length.
In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output.
TABLE CONTROL:-
ABAP offers two mechanisms for displaying and using table data in a screen. These mechanisms are table controls and step loops. Table controls and step loops are types of screen tables you can add to a screen in the Screen Painter.
Rewards if useful.

Shilpi

Hi,
Better to use 2 Templates.
Eg :
Total Width -
120 MM.
Then Create first template with following measurements.
Width                         80      CM
Horizontal Alignment   left   0.50   MM
Vertical Alignment
Here u can mention Height width of the cells
Next create another template.
Width                         40      CM
Horizontal Alignment   left 85   MM
Vertical Alignment
here also u can mention the height and width for two line types.(this for split the box horizontally)

Template and ABAP code

Hi ppl,
I am a bit confused.If i have to make some field to only 'display'(so that the user has no choice to edit),how can i do it?
-Who provides these templates??These templates that we publish are written in ABAP,right?
-Can we create our own templates and publish??
**When they say,change the template or change the ABAP code..what does it mean?Because to check the templates we goto SE80 and to change the code/add a field/edit a field--we go to SE11.Please let me know the link between SE11 and SE80 or the difference.
Many Thanks
Sam

Sam,
Before changing a template please go through following,it may resolve your issue -
In this BAdI you can change the screen variant that controls the display of the item overviews and search results. As default, the following screen variants are called up:
· Item data overview in the invoice without purchase order reference: Screen variant BBP_IV_NON_PO
Method GET_SCREENVARIANT_INV
· Item data overview in the invoice with purchase order reference: Screen variant BBP_IV
Method GET_SCREENVARIANT_INV
· Item data overview in the confirmation: Screen variant BBP_CF
Method GET_SCREENVARIANT_CONF
· Item data overview in the confirmation for time recording: Screen variant BBP_CF_TIMEREC
Method GET_SCREENVARIANT_CONF
· Item data overview in the purchase order: Screen variant BBP_PO
Method GET_SCREENVARIANT_PO
· Item overview for contracts: Screen variant BBP_CTR_ITEMLIST
Method GET_SCREENVARIANT_CTR
· Item overview for contract selection: Screen variant BBP_CTR_ITEM_SELLIST
Method GET_SCREENVARIANT_CTR
· Search results for creating an invoice and/or confirmation: Screen variant BBP_SEARCH_PO
Method GET_SCREENVARIANT_SEARCH
· Search results for creating a purchase order: Screen variant BBP_SEARCH_SC
Method GET_SCREENVARIANT_SEARCH
· Search results for displaying/changing an invoice: Screen variant BBP_CHANGE_IV
Method GET_SCREENVARIANT_SEARCH
· Search results for displaying/changing a confirmation: Screen variant BBP_CHANGE_CF
Method GET_SCREENVARIANT_SEARCH
· Item overview for creating/displaying/processing/status of a shopping cart: Screen variant BBP_SC
Method GET_SCREENVARIANT_SC
· Worklist for Sourcing: Screen variant BBP_SOCO_WL
Method GET_SCREENVARIANT_SOCO
· Work area in Sourcing: Screen variant BBP_SOCO_GA
Method GET_SCREENVARIANT_SOCO
Activities
If you wish to hide or show fields, proceed as follows:
1. Determine the screen variant, for example, BBP_IV, using the list above.
2. Copy this screen variant, for example, in ZZ_BBP_IV_1, in Transaction SHD0.
3. Change the new screen variant as required. Note that you can only change the display properties for fields of table controls. You can switch the display on and off (column Invisible in Transaction SHD0). You can recognize the fields of a table control because they have a 1 on the right side of the first column. In addition, the heading for this area contains (Table CTRL.
4. Implement the appropriate method (see the list above). Fill the export parameter EV_SCVARIANT with the new screen variant.
You can create multiple screen variants for a screen and then select these in the BAdI depending on the user or on other criteria.
Thanks and Warm Regards.

Split lines in Table painter

Hi Guys
I have to split a line in a table painter in smartform, which I did by right clicking the mouse and choosing split from the context menu.
1. But the problem is that It does not show in the output
2. Even if it shows, how do I put data in it?
Thanks for reading .

Hi,
Once you split the line.. you need to select the cell containing the line you just split.. and look for little icons on the top menu that look like boxes that are used to create borders.. click on the appropriate one depending on where yu want a line to be drawn.. yu could draw all four sides or just one side depending on what you want.
Putting data in it.. you need to double click on the text node that has the data yu need to display on the smartform.. under the output options tab.. right at the bottom you will see column and row boxes.. so this is where you need to specify the column and row number of the table.
Hopefully this helps!

Reg: Smartforms Table Painter

Hi Folks,
In the smart forms in the main window I have used table for printing data of the internal table. Also for giving the borders in the table I have used the framed patterns in the table.
So I have declared the main window sizes same as paper size and in the main window it contains only the table.
I have created a table in the smart forms and I was doing the loop of internal table data.
So when in the internal table contains one line item currently it was printing like this.
1     23     45     56     76
But my requirement is like this if the internal table contains one data, still the boxes should be extended upto end of page.
1     23     45     56     76
In the smart forms table painter is there any setting is there so that I can extend the boxes up to the end of page if data was not present in the internal table also.
Or how can I will print the boxes in the smart forms and each box contains the print the data of the internal table.
Please help me on the above issue and let me know for any clarifications.
Thanks in advance.

there is not such setting in smartform...
you can append blank lines in the itab..
e.g if page can hold 10 line items from itab
     and you are passing oly 5 lines of data
     then append 5 blank lines at the end of itab..
in this case you need to take care for numeric fields.. as black fields will display zeros... so convert them in char field and then append blank lines...
