Adding field in a smart form select statement

hi,
i am modifying a report in which i have to add sortl from kna1 in the select statement .
when i try to modify the statement it gives error as i ahev defined the value in the global variable .
plzz help me out as help will be definately rewarded.

Ric,
loop at ivbrk.
select name1 name2 name3 name4 stras pstlz ort01 land1 from
kna1 into (vname11, vname12, vname13, vname14, vstrask, vpstlzk,
vort01k, vland1) where kunnr = ivbrk-kunrg.
endselect.
endloop.
Seems you are modifying the select statement in the smartform which is selecting some data based on the internal table data that is there in the driver program.
If I am not wrong you want to select SORTL too in the above given select statement.
In the Global Definitions declare a variable like vsort type kna1-sortl and then in the select statement add this sortl field.
loop at ivbrk.
select name1 name2 name3 name4 stras pstlz ort01 sortl land1 from kna1 into (vname11, vname12, vname13, vname14, vstrask, vpstlzk,vort01k, vsortl, vland1)
where kunnr = ivbrk-kunrg.
endselect.
endloop.
Do check the select statement how you are writing.

Suppress leading spaces while displaying an amount field in a Smart form

Hi all,
In a smart form, I am using fields like KONV-kbetr and VBAP-netwr each of them currency type and 2 decimal places. I want to suppress the decimal places and also the leading spaces while displaying these fields in a smartform cause when this field is inserted in a sentence, a lot of gap is there between the field and the words of the sentence. I dont want to change the field length cause it can be that huge in some cases.
Please help.
Thanks ,

Hi, if you would place it in a sentence, it would be an option to concatenate the text and values into one string and then condense it.
concatenate <text> <value> into lv_sentence.
condense lv_sentence.
but another way is to use codes for displaying values in smartforms:
This is from a smartforms PDF i have..
Output Options for Field Contents
Use the Formatting options to adapt the value of a field before printing it. You can enter the
relevant parameters directly behind the field name. Make sure to write the short forms of the
different options in uppercase letters. Some of the options can be combined.
General Information
The formatting options are not suited for all data types of fields (for example, for character fields
you need no exponential representation). You must distinguish between numeric fields and
character fields.
Numeric Fields
If specified, the system first evaluates the length (<length>).
If no length is specified, the system displays the value in its overall length.
The trailing blank indicates a positive sign. To suppress it, use formatting option S.
Any offset <offset> specified is ignored.
Sequence of evaluation: (<length>), sign to the left(<),Japanese date (L), suppress blanks (C),
right-justified display (R), insert fillers (F).
Character Fields
By default, the system displays the value of a field in its overall length, but truncates trailing
blanks.
Sequence of evaluation: suppress blanks (C), <offset> and (<length>), right-justified display (R),
insert fillers (F).
Overview
Formatting Options for Fields
Syntax Description
&field+<offset>& Skips <offset> places of the field value (character fields only). If the
offset is greater than the length of the value, nothing is displayed.
&field(<length>)& Sets the output length to <length>.
&field(*)& If the field is defined by a Data Dictionary type, Smart Forms set the
output length to the value specified there.
&field(S)& Suppresses the sign
&field(<)& Displays the sign to the left of the number
&field(.<nat.number>)& Limits output of decimal places to <nat.number>
&field(E<nat.number>)& Displays the field value with the fixed exponent <nat.number>. The
mantissa is adapted to this exponent by shifting the decimal
character and inserting zeros.
SAP Smart Forms (BC-SRV-SCR) SAP AG
Output Options for Field Contents
72 April 2001
&field(T)& Suppresses thousand indicators when displaying fields of types
DEC, CURR, INT, and QUAN.
&field(Z)& Suppresses leading zeros of numbers
&field(I)& Suppresses display of initial values
&field(K)& Deactivates a conversion routine specified in the Data Dictionary.
&field(R)& Right-justified display. Use this option only when specifying an
output length as well.
&field(F<filler>)& Replaces left-justified blanks in the value by the fill character <filler>.
&field(L)& Converts and a date field to a local date and displays it. The date is
then formatted using edit mask JPDAT.
Since this representation uses Japanese characters, use it in the
Japanese version of the SAP System only.
&field(C)& The system takes the field value as a sequence of words separated
by blanks. Option C shifts these words to the left and leaves only
one blank inbetween as separator. Any leading blanks are
suppressed. This effect corresponds to that of the ABAP statement
CONDENSE.

Adding one more table to the select statement joining 4 tables gives dump

Hi All,
There is a select statement using which four tables namely VBAK,VBAP,LIPS and LIKPUK(view) are joined(inner join).Here, date and time fields are selected from LIPS and used.
My requirement is to consider the Date (LIKP - WADAT_IST) instead of LIPS-ERDAT and time(LIKP-SPE_WAUHR_IST) is to be used instead of LIPS-erzet.
Neither LIPS nor LIKPUK contains time(SPE_WAUHR_IST) field. And, I cannot remove LIPS table or LIKPUK view as each contains a unique field which is used in the report.
When I tried to join LIPS in the select query, it is going to dump.
Can someone suggest a good approach ?
Thanks,
Pavan

Thank you for the detailed explanation of the dump.
The dump details together with your code lead to the answer: 42.

Clemens

Adding field 'Document Type' to Cash Flow Statement form in FSI5

Dear SAP Experts
I am developing a 'Cash Flow Statement' using FSI5/FSI3 functionality. I need to have a field 'Document Type' in the list of characteristics.
Can anyone of you guide me how can I add this field?
An urgent reply is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Syed Zia Abbas

Hi Abbas,
I have few comments, which should help to solve your
problem. Please take a look to note 43661 which describes the
creation of new forms and reports.
Following are the steps to create the form and report:
FSI4 => Form type: Financial Statement Key Figures => Copy
             Form: Name and Text for the new form
             Copy from: 0SAPRATIO-04
FSI5 => find and double click the new form just created => Edit Gen.
data selection => change the FSV to what you want to use
FSI1 => Report type: Financial Statement Key Figures => Create
             Report: Name and Text for the new report
             With form: Name of the new form details please refer to standard SAP report 0SAPRATIO-04
FSI3 => find and execute the new report to check if you can get the
result you want.
To change the fin. statement version in the general data selections of
your new form is not enough. You have to check each line of the new form
too and replace the fin. statement items with items of your own fin. statement structure.
- The mentioned forms contain restrictions via for example financial
statement items in rows and years and/or periods in columns. But, if
you execute the reports, you get no results. It is because the forms
are just an example templates for items of financial statement version
(FSV) INT, which is also just a template.
To be able to get requested results, you have to create your own
forms (and reports based on your forms) with restriction via your
own financial statement version (in general data selection) and the
financial statement items corresponding to your FSV (in particular
rows). Otherwise, you cannot get any results, as there are no values
for the template FSV INT and items from the INT.
But it is up to you, how you arrange the form definition. It is
closely related to your own FSV definition.
I hope you find this information useful.

Syntax for sum in Smart Form based on Selection criteria in Program.

Hi,
We have created smart form for printing confirmation entries in desired format. We have given some selection criteria in the program. Now, we want to do the sum of certain fields in the smart form based on selection criteria given in program and selection screen.
But we are getting wrong sum in the smart form than expected.
When we debug the program during run time, we are getting correct records as per our expectations. But result of sum in the out put is not as per given selection criteria.
Do we need to establish link between "select option" and "Smart form"? How can we use internal table created for select option in the smart form?
Thanks & regards
Vijay

Hi,
There will be no option to sum the values in smartforms, You just have to sum and append the data to internal table and display the internal table data in the form.

Satish

Production issue with Smart Form

Hi ,
Issue is:
Data getting poplutated in Dev system but not getting in Production system.
we are using standard FM CRM_OUTPUT_SINGLE_READ
which contains FM SSF_FIELD_LIST to which our smartform name is passed.
FM SSF_FIELD_LIST returns all the global definition fields of the smart form.
It has a statement
import fields to fieldlist
         from database stxfcontr(sf) id l_fullname.
Now in Dev system we get all the required values but in Production system it doesnt show any value.
Also in table stxfcontr i can see two values for my Form
Entries from Development System :
SF    ZCLSDXT_YI01_PRINT                                   0 1815
SF    ZCLSDXT_YI01_PRINT                      X            0 1830
Entries from Production system:
SF    ZCLSDXT_YI01_PRINT                      X            0 1584
I think problem is with IMPORT statement which is inside the FM SSF_FIELD_LIST ...
Is it has to do with ABAP memory or something like that? or something i need to do in FORM ..but since in dev system same FORM is getting value why i am not getting in Prodc.'
Please help...
If anyone can help me why it is not populating the fields?
Regards,
Mayank

hI Vishnu,
yes its been transported properly..
even when i execute this FM SSF_FIELD_LIST by passing my FORM name it doesnt displays the Global defined fileds in production but in Dev same FM displays all the fields.
Any idea how this table STXFCONTR gets entry in it..
I am working on Solution Manager system....

Hi,
This Smartform Information I read, really helped me out.
I think it would be of some good help to you too..
What is SAP Smart Forms?
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.
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
What Transaction to start SAP Smart Forms?
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.
Advantages of SAP Smart Forms
1. The adaption of forms is supported to a large extent by graphic tools for layout and logic, so that no programming knowledge is necessary (at least 90% of all adjustments). Therefore, power user forms can also make configurations for your business processes with data from an SAP system. Consultants are only required in special cases.
2. Displaying table structures (dynamic framing of texts)
3. Output of background graphics, for form design in particular the use of templates which were scanned.
4. Colored output of texts
5. User-friendly and integrated Form Painter for the graphical design of forms
6. Graphical Table Painter for drawing tables
7. Reusing Font and paragraph formats in forms (Smart Styles)
8. Data interface in XML format (XML for Smart Forms, in short XSF)
9. Form translation is supported by standard translation tools
10. Flexible reuse of text modules
11. HTML output of forms (Basis release 6.10)
12. Interactive Web forms with input fields, pushbuttons, radio buttons, etc. (Basis-Release 6.10)
A Simple Smartform Tutorial
SAP Smartforms can be used for creating and maintaining forms for mass printing in SAP Systems. The output medium for Smartforms support printer, fax, e-mail, or the Internet (by using the generated XML output).
According to SAP, you need neither have any programming knowledge nor use a Script language to adapt standard forms. However, basic ABAP programming skills are required only in special cases (for example, to call a function module you created or for complex and extensive conditions).
1. Create a new smartforms
Transaction code SMARTFORMS
Create new smartforms call ZSMART
2. Define looping process for internal table
          Pages and windows
     First Page -> Header Window (Cursor at First Page then click Edit -> Node -> Create)
Here, you can specify your title and page numbering
&SFSY-PAGE& (Page 1) of &SFSY-FORMPAGES(Z4.0)& (Total Page)
     Main windows -> TABLE -> DATA
     In the Loop section, tick Internal table and fill in
     ITAB1 (table in ABAP SMARTFORM calling function) INTO ITAB2
3. Define table in smartforms
           Global settings :
           Form interface
           Variable name    Type assignment   Reference type
           ITAB1               TYPE                  Table Structure
           Global definitions
           Variable name    Type assignment   Reference type
           ITAB2               TYPE                  Table Structure
4. To display the data in the form
    Make used of the Table Painter and declare the Line Type in Tabstrips Table
     e.g. HD_GEN for printing header details,
             IT_GEN for printing data details.
     You have to specify the Line Type in your Text elements in the Tabstrips Output options.
      Tick the New Line and specify the Line Type for outputting the data.
      Declare your output fields in Text elements
      Tabstrips - Output Options
      For different fonts use this Style : IDWTCERTSTYLE
      For Quantity or Amout you can used this variable &GS_ITAB-AMOUNT(12.2)&
5. Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program
REPORT ZSMARTFORM.
Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program.
Collecting all the table data in your program, and pass once to SMARTFORMS
SMARTFORMS
Declare your table type in :-
Global Settings -> Form Interface
Global Definintions -> Global Data
Main Window -> Table -> DATA

Additional Fonts for your SMARTFORMS
You can create additional fonts and style with transaction SMARTSTYLES
This can then be define in the paragraph and character formats, which you can then be assign to texts and fields in the Smart Form.
The character formats includes effects such as superscript, subscript, barcode and font attributes.
Difference with SMARTFORMS vs. SapScript(SE71)
The Following are the differences :-
a) Multiple page formats are possible in smartforms which is not the case in SAPScripts
b) It is possible to have a smartform without a main window .
c) Labels cannot be created in smartforms.
d) Routines can be written in smartforms tool.
e) Smartforms generates a function module when activated.
f) Unlike sapscripts (RSTXSCRP), you cannot upload/download Smartform to your local harddisk.
It was said that it was provided in CRM 3.0 version, but not available in R/3. You can download smartforms into Local PC in a XML format. In the same way you can upload this XML format into Smartform. From the smartform editor itself you can call download option, if you are working in CRM 3.0 environment.
In R3 also, you can download into XML format. However, it's not sure about uploading. Refer to the program 'SF_XSF_DEMO'.
In 4.7 Enterprise, other have seen this utlity which is completey missing in 4.6c. There is functionality to downlaod a complete form or only a particular node. (Utilities -> Download form). It will create a XML file and save it in the hard disk.
For others, if you want to download/upload the Smartforms source, you will need the help from the Basis people. What you can do is to create a Transport and then FTP down to your local harddisk.   When you need the Smartform source in another system, you have FTP up the Smartforms file back to the SAP server. Finally, the Basis team, will tp it into your system.
g) The protect and endprotect command in sapscript doesn't work with smartforms. For example on a invoice: First data of position no 80. is printed on page one, other data of position no 80 is printed on page 2. And there's nothing you can do about it. Actually, there is something you can do about it. By using a folder node and checking the 'protect' checkbox, everything in that folder will be page protected.
FAQ on Migrating SAPscript to SmartForms
Is it possible to migrate a SAPscript form to a Smart Form?
Smart Forms provides a migration tool for this purpose which migrates layout and texts of a SAPscript form to a Smart Form. It does not migrate SAPscript form logic of the print program. Using Smart Forms, this logic is described by the tree structure of the Form Builder. The effort involved in migrating it depends on the complexity of the print program.
Which Basis Release do I need to use SAP Smart Forms?
SAP Smart Forms is available as of R/3 Basis Release 4.6C.
I have heard that Smart Forms replaces SAPscript. What does "replace" mean?
It does not mean that SAPscript is removed from the Basis shipment. Even as of Basis Release 4.6C, SAPscript remains part of the SAP standard and there are no plans to remove it. Since Smart Forms is currently, and will continue to be, the tool for form maintenance for mySAP.com solutions, our further development efforts will focus on Smart Forms, not on SAPscript.
Do we have to migrate all SAPscript forms to Smart Forms?
There is no point in migrating all SAPscript forms already in use. Since SAPscript can still be used and will be available in the future, there is no need to. If you plan to migrate a SAPscript form, it is recommended that you check whether benefit is worth the effort involved
Conversion of SAPSCRIPT to SMARTFORMS
SAP provides a conversion for SAPscript documents to SMARTforms.
This is basically a function module, called FB_MIGRATE_FORM. You can start this function module by hand (via SE37), or create a small ABAP which migrates all SAPscript forms automatically.
You can also do this one-by-one in transaction SMARTFORMS, under
Utilities -> Migrate SAPscript form.
You could also write a small batch program calling transaction SMARTFORMS and running the migration tool.
SmartForms System Fields
Within a form you can use the field string SFSY with its system fields. During form processing the system replaces these fields with the corresponding values. The field values come from the SAP System or are results of the processing.
System fields of Smart Forms
&SFSY-DATE&
Displays the date. You determine the display format in the user master record.
&SFSY-TIME&
Displays the time of day in the form HH:MM:SS.
&SFSY-PAGE&
Inserts the number of the current print page into the text. You determine the format of the page number (for example, Arabic, numeric) in the page node.
&SFSY-FORMPAGES&
Displays the total number of pages for the currently processed form. This allows you to include texts such as'Page x of y' into your output.
&SFSY-JOBPAGES&
Contains the total page number of all forms in the currently processed print request.
&SFSY-WINDOWNAME&
Contains the name of the current window (string in the Window field)
&SFSY-PAGENAME&
Contains the name of the current page (string in the Page field)
&SFSY-PAGEBREAK&
Is set to 'X' after a page break (either automatic [Page 7] or command-controlled [Page 46])
&SFSY-MAINEND&
Is set as soon as processing of the main window on the current page ends
&SFSY-EXCEPTION&
Contains the name of the raised exception. You must trigger your own exceptions, which you defined in the form interface, using the user_exception macro (syntax: user_exception <exception name >).
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
Smart forms Frequently Asked Questions
Forcing a page break within table loop
Create a loop around the table. Put a Command node before the table in the loop that forces a NEWPAGE on whatever condition you want. Then only loop through a subset of the internal table (based on the conditions in the Command node) of the elements in the Table node.
Font style and Font size
Goto Transaction SMARTSTYLES.
There you can create Paragraph formats etc just like in sapscript.
Then in your window under OUTPUT OPTIONS you include this SMARTSTYLE and use the Paragraph and character formats.
Line in Smartform
Either you can use a window that takes up the width of your page and only has a height of 1 mm.
Then you put a frame around it (in window output options).
Thus you have drawn a box but it looks like a line.
Or you can just draw "__" accross the page and play with the fonts so that it joins each UNDER_SCORE.
Difference between 'forminterface' and 'global definitions' in global settings of smart forms
The Difference is as follows.
To put it very simply:
Form Interface is where you declare what must be passed in and out of the smartform (in from the print program to the smartform and out from the smartform to the print program).
Global defs. is where you declare data to be used within the smartform on a global scope.
ie: anything you declare here can be used in any other node in the form.
Smartforms function module name
Once you have activated the smartform, go to the environment -> function module name. There you can get the name of funtion module name.
The key thing is the program that calls it. for instance, the invoice SMARTFORM LB_BIL_INVOICE is ran by the program RLB_INVOICE.
This program uses another FM to determine the name of the FM to use itself. The key thing is that when it calls this FM (using a variable to store the actual name), that the parameters match the paramters in your smartform.
Another thing to note is that the FM name will change wherever the SF is transported to.
So you need to use the FM to determine the name of the SF.
Here is the code that can be use to determine the internal name of the function module:
Code:
    if sf_label(1) <> '/'.    " need to resolve by name
      move sf_label to externalname.
      call function 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
           exporting
                formname           = externalname
           importing
                fm_name            = internalname
           exceptions
                no_form            = 1
                no_function_module = 2
                others             = 3.
      if sy-subrc <> 0.
        message 'e427'.
      endif.
      move internalname to sf_label.
    endif.
It checks to see if the sf_label starts with a '/', which is how the internal names start. if it does, the name has already been converted. If not, it calls the FM and converts the name.
You would then CALL FUNCTION sf_label.
Smartforms FAQ Part Two
Smartforms output difference
Problem with Smartforms: in a certain form for two differently configured printers, there seem to be a difference in the output of characters per inch (the distance between characters which gives a layout problem - text in two lines instead of one.                                      It happens when the two printers having different Printer Controls' if you go to SPAD Menu (Spool Administrator Menu) you can see the difference in the Printer Control and if you make the Printer control setting for both the printers as same. then it will be ok. and also u have to check what is the device type used for both the output devices.
SmartForms Output to PDF
There is a way to download smartform in PDF format.
Please do the following:
1. Print the smartform to the spool.
2. Note the spool number.
3. Download a PDF file (Acrobat Reader) version of the spool by running Program RSTXPDFT4 and entering the noted spool number.
SmartForm Doublesided printing question Your customer wants your PO SmartForm to be able to print "Terms and Conditinos" on the back side of each page. They don't want to purchase pre-printed forms with the company's logo on the front and terms & conditions on the back. Now this presents an interesting problem.
Has anyone else ever had a request like this? If for example there was a 3 page PO to be printed, they want 3 pieces of paper, the front side of each to containe the PO information (page 1, 2, and 3) and the back side of each piece of paper to containg the static "Terms & Conditions" information.
Anyone have a clue how to force this out?
Easy - page FRONT lists page CONTACTS as next page and CONTACTS lists FRONT as next page. Since CONTACTS does not contain a MAIN window, it will print the contacts info and then continue on to FRONT for the rest of the main items. Additionally, set print mode on FRONT to D (duplex) and set CONTACTS to 'blank' (for both resource name and print mode - this is the only way to get to the back of the page).
Transport Smart Forms
How does one transport SMARTFORM? SE01?
How do you make sure that both, the SMARTFORM & it's function module gets transported? Or does the FM with same name gets generated automatically in the transported client?
A smartform is transported no differently than any other object. if it is assigned to a development class that is atteched to a transport layer, it will be transported.
The definition is transported, and when called, the function module is regenerated.
This leads to an interetsing situation. On the new machine, it is very likely the function module name will be different than the name on the source system. Make sure, before you call the function module, you resolve the external name to the internal name using the 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' function module.
Typically, generate the SF, then use the pattern to being in the interface. Then change the call function to use the name you get back from the above function module.
Smartforms: protect lines in main window.
How to protect lines in the main window from splitting between pages?
It was easy with SAPscript, but how to do it with SF's.   For 4.7 version if you are using tables, there are two options for protection against line break:
- You can protect a line type against page break.
- You can protect several table lines against page break for output in the main area.
Protection against page break for line types
- Double-click on your table node and choose the Table tab page.
- Switch to the detail view by choosing the Details pushbutton.
- Set the Protection against page break checkbox in the table for the relevant line type. Table lines that use this line type are output on one page.
Protection against page break for several table lines
- Expand the main area of your table node in the navigation tree.
- Insert a file node for the table lines to be protected in the main area.
- If you have already created table lines in the main area, you can put the lines that you want to protect again page break under the file using Drag&Drop. Otherwise, create the table lines as subnodes of the file.
- Choose the Output Options tab page of the file node and set the Page Protection option.   All table lines that are in the file with the Page Protection option set are output on one page.

Hands on SAP Smart Forms

Hi Frendz,
Can you pls give me any exercise on Smart forms ? i am learning sap smart forms.
Points for sure

SAP Smartforms can be used for creating and maintaining forms for mass printing in SAP Systems. The output medium for Smartforms support printer, fax, e-mail, or the Internet (by using the generated XML output).
According to SAP, you need neither have any programming knowledge nor use a Script language to adapt standard forms. However, basic ABAP programming skills are required only in special cases (for example, to call a function module you created or for complex and extensive conditions).
1. Create a new smartforms
Transaction code SMARTFORMS
Create new smartforms call ZSMART
2. Define looping process for internal table
Pages and windows
First Page -> Header Window (Cursor at First Page then click Edit -> Node -> Create)
Here, you can specify your title and page numbering
&SFSY-PAGE& (Page 1) of &SFSY-FORMPAGES(Z4.0)& (Total Page)
Main windows -> TABLE -> DATA
In the Loop section, tick Internal table and fill in
ITAB1 (table in ABAP SMARTFORM calling function) INTO ITAB2
3. Define table in smartforms
Global settings :
Form interface
Variable name    Type assignment   Reference type
ITAB1               TYPE                  Table Structure
Global definitions
Variable name    Type assignment   Reference type
ITAB2               TYPE                  Table Structure
4. To display the data in the form
Make used of the Table Painter and declare the Line Type in Tabstrips Table
e.g. HD_GEN for printing header details,
        IT_GEN for printing data details.
You have to specify the Line Type in your Text elements in the Tabstrips Output options.
Tick the New Line and specify the Line Type for outputting the data.
Declare your output fields in Text elements
Tabstrips - Output Options
For different fonts use this Style : IDWTCERTSTYLE
For Quantity or Amout you can used this variable &GS_ITAB-AMOUNT(12.2)&

Additional Fonts for your SMARTFORMS
You can create additional fonts and style with transaction SMARTSTYLES
This can then be define in the paragraph and character formats, which you can then be assign to texts and fields in the Smart Form.
The character formats includes effects such as superscript, subscript, barcode and font attributes.

Added field in repository does not show in Web UI

Hi,
How do I make a new (added) field to the Catalog Item table in my SRM-MDM Repository showup in the Web UI?
I have added a field 'Interval' to the Catalog Item tabel in my Repository SRM_MDM_Catalog. This field is of type 'Measurment'.
After change I load the reporitory.
When I logon to Config UI for the above repository I do not find the added field as a selectable reporitory field. Only the standard (original) fields show up.
What do I have to dofor my newly added field to show up as selectable repository field in Config UI in order tospecify that it should be displayed in teh Search UI?
Regards
Jan

Dear colleagues,
the same issue solved just restarting all the JAVA components.
There is a SAP note "1028343 - Changes in the repository not reflected in Catalog UI" indicating just one of them but in our case it was not enough. We restarted all the JAVA components and it worked fine.
Kind regards,
Agus.

ABAP Select statement performance (with nested NOT IN selects)

Hi Folks,
I'm working on the ST module and am working with the document flow table VBFA. The query takes a large amount of time, and is timing out in production.

I am sending u some of the performance isuues that are to be kept in mind while coding.
1.Donot use Select *...... instead use Select <required list>......
2.Donot fetch data from CLUSTER tables.
3.Donot use Nested Select statements as. U have used nested select which reduces performance to a greater extent.
Instead use views/join .
Also keep in mind that not use join condition for more for more than three tables unless otherwise required.
So split select statements into three or four and use Select ......for all entries....
4.Extract the data from the database atonce consolidated upfront into table.
i.e. use INTO TABLE <ITAB> clause instead of using
Select----
End Select.
5.Never use order by clause in Select ..... statement. instead use SORT<itab>.
6.When ever u need to calculate max,min,avg,sum,count use AGGREGATE FUNCTIONS and GROUP BY clause insted of calculating by userself..
7.Donot use the same table once for Validation and another time for data extraction.select data only once.
8.When the intention is for validation use Select single ....../Select.......up to one rows ......statements.
9.If possible always use array operations to update the database tables.
10.Order of the fields in the where clause select statement must be in the same order in the index of table.
11.Never release the object unless throughly checked by st05/se30/slin.
12.Avoid using identical select statements.
