Differences Between Scripts & Smartforms...

Hi,
In my project any one of the Employee should give sessions on any of the topic every week. So i have decided to give on Scripts & Smartforms. Can any one explain in details the difference between Scripts & Smartforms.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramana.

hi
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.
Contributed by : SAP ABAP/4 Programming, Basis Administration, Configuration Hints and Tips
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.
i) The main difference is that SAP script is client-dependant, while smartform is independent. Also there are some advanced and intreractive features available in smartforms.
You can use an External subroutine-call in sapscript editor like:
  /: perform <form_name> in program <program_name>
  /: using <var1>
  /: using <var2>
  /: changing <return1>
  /: changing <return2>
  /:endperform
i think it will useful for you.
Reward points if useful.

  • Difference  between  scripts and  idocs

    In real time  why we are  using scripts and idocs?what is the difference between scripts and idocs?pls tell me  where we r using  scripts and  idocs?

    Hi,
    IDocs are simple ASCII data streams. When they are stored to a disk file, the IDocs are simple flat files with lines of text, where the lines are structured into data fields. The typical structured file has records, each record starting with a leading string that identifies the record type. Their specification is stored in the data dictionary.
    Electronic Interchange Document
    IDocs is the acronym for Interchange Document. This  indicates a set of (electronic) information which builds a logical entity. An IDoc is e.g. all the data of a single customer in your customer master data file, or the IDoc is all the data of a single invoice.
    Data Is transmitted in ASCII format, i.e. human readable form
    IDoc data is usually exchanged between systems and partners that are completely independent. Therefore, the data should be transmitted in a format that can easily be corrected by the computer operators. It is therefore mandatory to post the data in a human readable form.
    Nowadays, this means that data is coded in ASCII format, including numbers which are sent as a string of figures 0 to 9. Such data can easily be read with any text editor on any computer, be it a PC, Macintosh, UNIX System, S/390 or any internet browser.
    IDocs exchange messages
    The information which is exchanged by IDocs is called a message and the IDoc is the physical representation of such a message. The name “messages” for the information sent via IDocs is used in the same ways as other EDI standards. .
    Scrpits...
    If the user wants to print documents such as invoices, purchase order, all such documents are printed with the use of forms. SAP allows the user to define these forms by using layout sets. SAP script is the tool used to create the layout set.
    In order to print the document, the SAP system runs a program that collects the data for the document and feeds it into the layout set. This is called as Print Program.
    SAP Provides a standard layout set for every printable document and usually there is no need to create layout sets as such. User just modifies the existing layout sets as per requirement of client.

  • Difference between scripts and smartforms

    Dear Experts,
    I require a same example or tutorials for scripts and smartforms, to know its exact difference. can any one provide me with that.
    Regards,
    CHK

    Hi,
    SAPscript technology is based on a mainframe product from the 1980s, while Smart Forms have only been around since (roughly) 2001. With that sort of time gap, there are bound to be significant differences between the two tools. Client dependence is a fundamental one. Although SAPscript has had some incremental improvements over time, its forms have always been -- under the hood -- relatively ...
    1. script is client dependent one while smartform is client independent.
    2. In scripts we have to write print program while in smart forms it is not necessary.
    3. In scripts we can print background logo while in smartforms we cant print background logo
    4. In scripts we have 99 main windows while in smartforms we have only 1 main window.
    5. In scripts we should write paragraph format otherwise we cant execute program while in smartforms no need to create paragraph formats .
    6. In scripts we can print the text in only two character formats.
    while in smartforms we can do with more.
    7. In scripts we dont have line types while in smartforms we have linetypes.
    the main diffarences between smart form and script form are:
    1) smart forms are clinent independent where as scripts are client dependent.
    2) smart form require half the time to create and maintain forms compare with
    script.
    3) smart forms provide multiple page formats where as in script not possible
    4) smart forms exisist without main window also where as in script not possible.
    5) smart form is entairely graphical user interface comapre with script.
    6) labeling is not possible in smart form where as it is possible in script.
    7) smart form genarate function module whenver it activate where as script
    doesn't genarate.
    8) smart form can easily web publishing using the genarated XML output compare
    with script.
    9) using smart forms we can design web forms but bot possible with script.
    10) we can maintain background graphics in smartform wher as in script not
    possible.
    11) in smart form we use transaction codes SMARTFORM for designing FORM
    and SMARTSTYLES to create differnt styles of text, where as in script we
    use SE71 for form painter and SE72 for different styles of text and font.
    12) we can migrate script to smart form vice-versa is not possible.

  • Differences between showing smartform in Portal and Backend

    Hi SAP Experts,
    we have developed a smartform which should be opened by clicking on a button integrated in a BSP-Application. All seems to be ok except for one little piece of text that is not shown (Exactly, the text is a calculated value).
    We tested the same smart form in backend-system and there the text is shown. There are no problems.
    So is there a difference between showing the same smartform in enterprise portal at the one hand  and in sap backend at the other hand?
    Best Regards,

    can you explain on this?

  • Mail attachment: difference between script and app bundle?

    Hiya Folks,
    I am trying to make an application in Applescript that will receive a file, then create a new email (in Mail.app) with that file attached. I would prefer it to be an app, rather than a script when it's finished. I have a script that appears to work.
    This simple script will put up a Choose File window asking for a file, then bring Mail to the front and create a new message, with the selected file attached (it won't send it). For debugging, I made a dialog box pop up showing the path to the file selected:
    -- begin script
    set OpenedFile to choose file
    display dialog "OpenedFile: " & OpenedFile
    tell application "Mail"
    activate
    set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"Subject", content:"Content"}
    tell newMessage
    set visible to true
    tell content
    make new attachment with properties {file name:OpenedFile} at after the last paragraph
    end tell
    end tell
    end tell
    -- end script
    So I tried to make that into an app onto which I could drag n drop a file, and have Mail make a new message with that file attached. Try saving this following script as an Application or an Application Bundle:
    -- begin script
    on open OpenedFile
    display dialog "OpenedFile: " & OpenedFile
    tell application "Mail"
    activate
    set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"Subject", content:"Content"}
    tell newMessage
    set visible to true
    tell content
    make new attachment with properties {file name:OpenedFile} at after the last paragraph
    end tell
    end tell
    end tell
    end open
    -- end script
    Run the first script as a script, and it works as advertised. Drag a file onto the second script saved as an app, and the message is created, but no attachment.
    Note that the path displayed in the pop-up is the same for both scripts.
    Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
    Thanks for your help,
    Drewstre

    on open (dragged_items)
    my handleFiles(draggeditems) -- Send selected items to custom handler.
    end open
    on handleFiles(localItems)
    tell application "Mail" -- Use terms of 'Mail'
    activate -- Launch 'Mail'.
    -- Add text to 'Subject' and 'Message' fields.
    set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"Subject", content:"Content"}
    tell newMessage -- Set focus to 'newMessage'
    set visible to true -- Make message visible.
    repeat with i in local_Items -- Cycle through the dragged items, adding each to new message.
    tell content to make new attachment with properties {file name:i} at after the last paragraph
    end repeat
    end tell
    end tell
    end handle_Files

  • Difference between smartforms of 4.7 & ECC 6.0 version

    Hi Folks,
    Can any one please tell me the difference between the smartforms of 4.7 & ECC6.0 and also tell me multi language and different page formats will be possible in ECC6.0 version.
    Thanks in advance.
    Suman.

    Hello ,
    For smartforms you can have two different pages and both pages have different page sizes. Page -> output option -> page format.
    Ex : Page formats like Potrait and Landscape.
    In scripts, we can set either landscape / portrait for all the pages, basically page formats are dependent on layout set. So for whole script you can maintain only one page format.
    But  for smartforms, you can set page formats for each page, first page as portrait and second one as landscape

  • Script logic: differences between MS and NW?

    Hi to all,
    at last SAP Tech Ed I've bought a book on SAP BPC 7, Netweaver version...I did it because I'm already working with the MS version, but I hoped to get a better vision on BPC over NW, and to understand some critical subjects.
    One question that I've been wondering is this one: I've found that some script logic examples that I've been able to reuse even in the MS version of BPC, while other won't. For example, I've found the *RUN_ALLOCATION (which I couldn't find in the logic assistent helper installed), and used it happily , and at the same time, I've found the *RUN_PROGRAM, which I don't really get any help from the web. I've found some posts in the NW version, not in the MS.
    So: is there any kind of document about the differences between scripting logic for MS and NW?
    Thank you
    Daniele

    Between 7.0 M and 7.0 NW we have a document with differences.
    But after that new SP or release was bringing new functionalities into NW.
    So it is depending what versions you will compare.
    Any way you will find key words into NW which are not into M version and oposite.
    So my suggestion will be to check the help documentation for version of NW used and to use the key words existing into that version.
    Principle of script logic is the same.
    Regards
    Sorin Radulescu

    www.erpgenie.com/abap/smartforms_sapscript.htm
    Sapscript vs Smartforms
    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
    Scripts are client dependent whereas smartforms aren't.
    Upto 99 main windows are possible in scripts and only one in smarforms.
    To create multiple main windows in scripts, you just have to give the window type as MAIN whnever you create a window.
    Scripts still exists but smartforms are in use from 4.6c version, now the lastest version of these two is adobe 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.
    Advantages of SAP Smart Forms
    SAP Smart Forms have the following advantages:
    1. The adaptation 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)

  • Diffeerence between script and smartform

    what is the diffrence between script and  smartform pls explain briefly

    Hi Venu,
    The Following are the differences :-
    a) Multiple page formats are possible in smartforms which is not the case in SAPScripts
    (like For the same form u can have one page with Landscape orientation and 2nd page with portrait orientation which is not available with scripts...)
    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.
    ( Here u need to use the function module (thats been generated when u have activated the smart form) to call the smart form in your print program )
    f) Here u can give colors to windows , texts , window edges .... which is not possible with scripts !!!
    g) 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
    h) The most important one is these smart forms are CLIENT INDEPENDENT
    Hope this resolves your query.

  • Diff between scripts and smartforms

    Hi,
    Pl tell me the differences between sap script and smartforms.
    Thanks

    Hi aafaqhusain,
    SAP Script
    1.Client Dependent
    2. Multiple page formatting is not possible
    3. 2 Componets(Print program and LAyoutset)
    Smartforms:
    1.Client Independent.
    2. Multiple page formatting is not possible
    3. 3 Componets(Print program, Function module and Layoutset)
    whenver u activate a smartform it will create a smartforms
    some practical differences are :
    *One main difference which is
    visibility in the report is TABLES
    (in sapscript we cannot design MATRIX like tables,
    having grid lines,but in smartforms, it is much possible to design tables, having grid lines, color just
    like excel table)
    a) sapscript requires
    - driver program (se38 program)
    - layout (se71 layout)
    smartforms just require
    smartform,
    (and a program is just required for selection screen purpose)
    b) the logic of printing (ie. sequence, flow) is CONTROLLED BY drier program,in case of sapscript.
    where as in smartform, it is inbuilt using TABLES element.
    c) In sapscript we cannot write our own logic for printing.
    where as in smartform,
    we can write our own logic for pritning.(we can even write SELECT Statements, DATA statements,and many program lines + logic to suit our requirements)
    2 Which we have to use
    If we are copying some standard sapscript,
    then we have to go for sapscript only.
    We can use both. but practically smartforms is easier to
    develop.
    Regards,
    amit mittal.

  • Difference between Form Interface and Global definitions in Smartforms.

    Hi guys!
    I'm learning about Smartforms.
    I would like to know which is the difference between Form Interface from the Global Settings and Global Definitions from Global settings as well, because in both of them I have to declare tables, structures, variables, etc. Could you please explain to me when should I use them?
    Thanks!
    Gaby

    Two ways to use Smart Form:
    1.     by using Application Program
    2.     By coding in Smart form itself.
    Now, if the 1st method is used then same interface can be used  for multiple requirements. For eg two different programs Z1 and Z2, may use same interface. Hence a lot of efforts are reduced.
    On the other side in 2nd method, multiple forms have to be created to fulfill different requirements.
    Now, Global Definiton is something that is irrespective of which Program is being used, the form nodes can use the Global definition in all cases.
    Also all tables etc must be declared in the Global setting.

  • Whats the difference between wml & wml script???

    Whats the difference between wml & wml script??? Can anyone help me clear my doubts about this topic?
    And where can I find online tutorials on WML???
    What are the softwares or programmes that i need to create wml???
    Lastly, where can I download nokia 3.0 toolkit???
    thanks in advance...

    you really need to be posting this elsewhere, preferrably on a non-java topic. that said...
    think of WML vs. WMLScript as HTML vs. JavaScript. WML is the markup, byte-compiled and sent to your microbrowser. WMLScript is code that your browser can run to do client-side validation and other manipulations.
    tutorials, simulators, etc. are just a web search away.
    same for the nokia WAP toolkit--you'll likely have to sign on as a nokia developer, it's free.
