What are Smartforms and SAPscripts?

Hey Everyone,
Where do we use Smartforms and SAPscripts...how to we create these...if u have step step procedures that will be helpful...
Thanks in Advance...
Cheers:

Smartform is client indep.
Scripts is client dependent.
Smartform will generate function module.
Script will not.
Tcode for scripts is se71
Tcode for smartforms is smartforms
go to sap library ............ their u can find the step by step procedure............
SAP Smart Forms is introduced in SAP Basis Release 4.6C as the tool for creating and maintaining forms.
SAP Smart Forms allow you to execute simple modifications to the form and in the form logic by using simple graphical tools; in 90% of all cases, this won't include any programming effort. Thus, a power user without any programming knowledge can configure forms with data from an SAP System for the relevant business processes.
Execute transaction SMARTFORMS to start SAP Smart Forms.
Key Benefits of SAP Smart Forms:
SAP Smart Forms allows you to reduce considerably the implementation costs of mySAP.com solutions since forms can be adjusted in minimum time. You design a form using the graphical Form Painter and the graphical Table Painter. The form logic is represented by a hierarchy structure (tree structure) that consists of individual nodes, such as nodes for global settings, nodes for texts, nodes for output tables, or nodes for graphics.
To make changes, use Drag & Drop, Copy & Paste, and select different attributes. These actions do not include writing of coding lines or using a Script language.
Using your form description maintained in the Form Builder, Smart Forms generates a function module that encapsulates layout, content and form logic. So you do not need a group of function modules to print a form, but only one. For Web publishing, the system provides a generated XML output of the processed form. Smart Forms provides a data stream called XML for Smart Forms (XSF) to allow the use of 3rd party printing tools. XSF passes form content from R/3 to an external product without passing any layout information about the Smart Form.
To print a form, you need a program for data retrieval and a Smart Form that contains the entire from logic. As data retrieval and form logic are separated, you must only adapt the Smart Form if changes to the form logic are necessary. The application program passes the data via a function module interface to the Smart Form. When activating the Smart Form, the system automatically generates a function module. At runtime, the system processes this function module.
You can insert static and dynamic tables. This includes line feeds in individual table cells, triggering events for table headings and subtotals, and sorting data before output.
You can check individual nodes as well as the entire form and find any existing errors in the tree structure. The data flow analysis checks whether all fields (variables) have a defined value at the moment they are displayed.
SAP Smart Forms allow you to include graphics, which you can display either as part of the form or as background graphics. You use background graphics to copy the layout of an existing (scanned) form or to lend forms a company-specific look. During printout, you can suppress the background graphic, if desired.
SAP Smart Forms also support postage optimizing.
Also read SAP Note No. 168368 - Smart Forms: New form tool in Release 4.6C
Example Forms Available in Standard SAP R/3
SF_EXAMPLE_01
Simple example; invoice with table output of flight booking for one customer
SF_EXAMPLE_02
Similar to SF_EXAMPLE_01 but with subtotals
SF_EXAMPLE_03
Similar to SF_EXAMPLE_02, whereby several customers are selected in the application program; the form is called for each customer and all form outputs are included in an output request.

  • Idoc generation and reprint for smartforms and sapscripts

    Dear Experts,
    Currently our scenario is as below.
    We are using XML for all outputs. once IDOC is generated it is passed to XML port and print is issued.
    To reprint IDOC we have a customised program where in we can enter idoc number and print output.
    Now we are converting all to smartforms and at some places sapscript. So how to setup reprint for idocs in smartforms and  sapscript as it is done for sapscripts. Do we need to make some config in WE19 to issue smart forms and sapscripts.
    If possible please give all steps right from preparing structures till reprint.
    Can anyone help with detailed solutions.

  • 0.41GB of my iPod Touh 4G' is taken up by something called 'Others'. What are 'Others' and can they be deleted or are they an essential part of the iPod and embedded in it? If not essential how do I go about deleting it to enable me to add other pictures

    0.41GB of my iPod Touch 4G's capacity is taken up by something callked 'Others'. What are 'Others' and will it be o.k to delete them? If so how do I go about doing it as there is no trace of a file on either iTunes or my iPod?

    Other content is typically miscellaneous data used by applications you have installed - could be save data (e.g. for games), or documents you've created. There's no easy way to determine precisely what it is, but the only way to clear it is to either delete it from within the respective application, or remove the associated application altogether - neither of which are typically practical.

  • What are ROWID and ROWNUM? Are they stored in database and where?

    Hi All,
    can anybody please answer this question
    What are ROWID and ROWNUM? Are they stored in database and where?
    Thanks,
    Srini

    ROWID can be thought of as a pointer to the physical location (on disk) of the (table) row.
    From a ROWID value, Oracle can extract the file, block-within-that-file and offset-of-the-row-within-that-block. Using these, Oracle can directly access a disk block to retrieve a row.
    ROWNUM is a just sequence number of a row within a result set of a query.
    As said by other repliers, both are not stored. They are 'constructed' when you reference them inside a query.

  • What are high and low values in sharepoint 2013 user permissions?

    So I hit this api:
    http://win-a3q7ml82p8f/sharepoint_site/_api/web/roledefinitions/
    And got the different high and low values. But I am not clear with what they mean:
    For eg:
    High: 176, Low: 138612833
    and
    High: 176, Low: 138612801
    So for different values of Low how does it change the permissions?
    For 176 its binary is 10110000. So looking at this table here: http://www.dctmcontent.com/sharepoint/Articles/Permissions%20and%20Mask%20Values.aspx
    I can understand that 176 would mean the following set of permissions:
    DeleteVersions
    OpenItems
    ApproveItems
    But what's confusing me is, that user has OpenItems permissions but not ViewListItems permission? Am I wrong in understanding this?
    Also how does the value of Low change the overall user permissions?
    Note: I looked at this answer: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/9d6df168-e8f5-4323-8c34-0646c03eff68/rest-api-what-are-high-and-low-in-effectivebasepermissions-and-getusereffectivepermissions?forum=sharepointdevelopment

  • What are valid and invalid email address characters

    What are valid and invalid email address characters in Exchange 2010, for example can you have Conan.O'[email protected] is there a document that shows the valid and invalid sysmbols?

    Hi
        The format of email addresses is
    local-part@domain where the local-part may be up to 64 characters long and the
    domain name may have a
    maximum of 253 characters - but the maximum 256 characters length of a forward or reverse path restricts the entire email address to be no more than 254 characters.<sup id="cite_ref-0">[1]</sup>
    The formal definitions are in RFC 5322 (sections 3.2.3
    and 3.4.1) and RFC 5321 - with a more readable form given in
    the informational RFC 3696<sup id="cite_ref-1">[2]</sup>
    and the associated errata.
    Local part
    The local-part of the email address may use any of these
    ASCII characters
    RFC 5322 Section
    3.2.3:
    Uppercase and lowercase English letters (a–z, A–Z) (ASCII: 65-90, 97-122)
    Digits
    0 to
    9 (ASCII: 48-57)
    Characters
    !#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~ (ASCII: 33, 35-39, 42, 43, 45, 47, 61, 63, 94-96, 123-126)
    Character
    . (dot, period, full stop) (ASCII: 46) provided that it is not the first or last character, and
    provided also that it does not appear two or more times consecutively (e.g. [email protected] is not allowed.).
    Special characters are allowed with restrictions. They are:
    o   
    Space and
    "(),:;<>@[\] (ASCII: 32, 34, 40, 41, 44, 58, 59, 60, 62, 64, 91-93)
    The restrictions for special characters are that they must only be used when contained between quotation marks, and that 3 of them (The
    space, backslash \ and
    quotation mark " (ASCII: 32, 92, 34)) must also be preceded by a backslash
    \ (e.g.
    A quoted string may exist as a dot separated entity within the local-part, or it may exist when the outermost quotes are the outermost characters of the local-part
    (e.g. abc."defghi"[email protected] or
    "abcdefghixyz"@example.com are allowed. Conversely,
    abc"defghi"[email protected] is not; neither is
    abc\"def\"[email protected]). Quoted strings and characters however, are not commonly used.
    RFC 5321 also
    warns that "a host that expects to receive mail SHOULD avoid defining mailboxes where the Local-part requires (or uses) the Quoted-string form".
    The local-part "postmaster" is treated specially - it is case-insensitive, and should be forwarded to the server's administrator. Technically all other local-parts
    are case sensitive, therefore [email protected] and [email protected] specify different mailboxes. However most organizations treat uppercase and lowercase letters as equivalent, and also do not allow use of the technically valid characters
    (space, ? and ^). Organizations are free to restrict the forms of their own email addresses as desired, e.g.,
    Windows Live Hotmail,
    for example, only allows creation of email addresses using alphanumerics, dot (.), underscore (_)
    and hyphen (-).<sup id="cite_ref-2">[3]</sup>
    Systems that send mail must be capable of handling outgoing mail for all valid addresses. Contrary to the relevant standards, some defective systems treat certain
    legitimate addresses as invalid and fail to handle mail to these addresses. Hotmail, for example, refuses to send mail to any address containing any of the following standards-permissible characters:
    !#$%*/?^`{|}~
    Domain part
    The domain name part of an email address has to conform to strict guidelines: it must match the requirements for a
    hostname,
    consisting of letters, digits, hyphens and dots. In addition, the domain part may be an
    IP address
    literal, surrounded by square braces, such as jsmith@[192.168.2.1], although this is rarely seen except
    in email spam.
    Examples
    Valid email addresses
    <tt>[email protected]</tt>
    <tt>[email protected]</tt>
    <tt>[email protected]</tt>
    <tt>much."more\ unusual"@example.com</tt>
    <tt>very.unusual."@"[email protected]</tt>
    <tt>very."(),:;<>[]".VERY."very@\\\ \"very"[email protected]</tt>
    Invalid email addresses
    <tt>Abc.example.com</tt> (an @ character must separate the local and domain parts)
    <tt>[email protected]</tt> (character dot(.) is last in local part)
    <tt>[email protected]</tt> (character dot(.) is double)
    <tt>A@b@[email protected]</tt> (only one @ is allowed outside quotation marks)
    <tt>a"b(c)d,e:f;g<h>i[j\k][email protected]</tt> (none of the special characters in this local part
    is allowed outside quotation marks)
    <tt>just"not"[email protected]</tt> (quoted strings must be dot separated, or the only element making
    up the local-part)
    <tt>this is"not\[email protected]</tt> (spaces, quotes, and backslashes may only exist when within
    quoted strings and preceded by a slash)
    <tt>this\ still\"not\\[email protected]</tt> (even if escaped (preceded by a backslash), spaces, quotes,
    and backslashes must still be contained by quotes)

  • What are advantage and disadvantage for Physical Standy and Logical Standby

    HI,
    What are advantage and disadvantage for Physical Standy and Logical Standby configuration?
    Thanks
    Ken

    Logical standby database
    The key advantage for logical standby databases is that they're opened read/write, even while they're in
    applied mode. That is, they can be used to generate reports and the like. It is indeed a fully functional
    database. Also, additional indexes, materialized views and so on can be created.
    However (this being a disadvantage) not all datatypes are supported.
    Oracle (or more exactly the log apply services) uses the primary database's redo log, transforms them into
    SQL statements and replays them on the logical standby database.
    Physical standby database
    A physical standby database is a byte for byte exact copy of the primary database. This also means that
    rowids stay the same in a physical standby database environment.
    Oracle (or more exactly the log apply services) uses the primary database's redo log to recover the
    physical database.
    A physical standby database might be opened read only; however, the received logs are in this case not
    applied. When the logs are applied, the database is not accessible (it is then in a managed recovery state).

  • What are Before and After Images ?

    Hello Masters,
    Best wishes to all.
    For the past one week I've learnt many concepts from SDN, got all my doubts clarified.
    On the same roll, I have one more question
    What are Before and After Images ?
    Where do we come across these terms ?
    Could you please explain with an example ?
    I always thank my replies in points 
    Thanks in advance...

    <b>Hai</b>....
    <u><b>Before and After Images:</b></u>
    This Term is Used in the " Change Log "....
    Change Log is one of the Table used in ODS....
    That means the Changes in Running Request in ODS....
    Example:
    If you Enter the Request to " New Table" after activation the Request will be Deleted From the Table, You can see that in Change log......

  • What are Conversions and Extensions

    Hey ,
         I want to know what are Conversions and Extensions. Can i get any material where i can get information on these.
    Thanks in advance

    The conversion programs were used to take the extract data from the legacy system and re-format for SAP and load the data into SAP.
    Conversions are one-time programs used to transfer data from the legacy system into SAP. For example, you can transfer master data like vendors, customers etc.
    SAP provides enhancement to BAPIs thru EXTENSION IN AND EXTENSION OUT .these are structure parameters.suppose example: one BAPI released to update the mara table.then u modified the table mara thru append structure.this changes will not be reflected in BAPIs.So thats why in that case we have to use EXTENSION IN AND EXTENSION OUT structures to fill and work.

  • What are Validation and simulator

    can any one explain what are Validation and Simulators are ???
    what is there importance and how they work in SAP ??
    Regards,
    Milindkumar

    Are you referring to validation rules and simulations? Whereby validations allow the checking of values and combinations of data as they are being entered in SAP. Because the data is validated before it is posted, only correct information enters the system. For example if you have a cost center X that should not post to account Y. You create a validation that checks to see if cost center X is entered whether the account is Y. If the account is Y the validation will stop the entry from being made.
    Simulations normally are when data is checked for accuracy or verfied before posting. Simulations usually allow the verification of data by displaying that entries that will post or will be created only after the post button or process occurs.

  • What are these and what are they useful for?: and

    I have seen these symbols being used in Java: << and >>, what are they and what do they do?
    Thank you.

    As DrQuincy asks how is this of use over multiplying
    and dividing?In your processor there are often different instructions for shifting, multiplying, and deleteing. Typically the shifting instructions take less time to execute and so using the shifting operator will be faster than multiplying. This assumes the compiler doesn't recognize the situation and optimize it out though.
    The >>,<<,>>>, &,|,and ^ operators are mainly useful when you need to deal with individual bits of data. For instance if you are talking to another system (thats not java) that uses a different method of storing numbers (little endian/big endian etc.), or doing something such as creating parity data for error correction. There are lots of things to do, but most a low level and its rare when you need to use them.
