Dispalying different field at SMART FORM report

hi,
i have created a code for displaying GRTXT i-e(Reason for Movement) in smart from from table T157E.This is the code:
SELECT SINGLE GRTXT FROM T157E
  INTO GV_GRTXT
  WHERE GRUND eq '1'
  or    grund eq '2'
  or    grund eq '3'
  AND   SPRAS eq 'E'.
where GV_GRTXT is a Global Definations at smart form.when i execute it,it gives me filed in GERMAN even tough i restricted it with SPRAS field and given me wrong REASON FOR MOVEMNT.for example at MIGO application it shows me INCOMPLETE
with GRUND(Reason for Movement) 2 and at my report it shows me Qualität mangelhaft with GRUND(Reason for Movement)  2.
Kindly tell me in the coding what is the mistake which had been made by me.
Thanks.

hi Suhas Saha,
If i have to display GRUND (1,2,3) in my coding how can i display it because when i use AND conidition in coding it gives null values:
SELECT SINGLE GRTXT FROM T157E
  INTO GV_GRTXT
  WHERE bwart eq '122'
  AND GRUND eq 001
  AND GRUND eq 002
  AND GRUND eq 003
  AND SPRAS eq 'E''.
and if i used OR condition it gives me result in GERMAN i-e:
SELECT SINGLE GRTXT FROM T157E
  INTO GV_GRTXT
  WHERE bwart eq '122'
  AND GRUND eq 001
  or GRUND eq 002
  or GRUND eq 003
  AND SPRAS eq 'E'
and in the last if i used IN condition it gives the result of wrong REASON OF MOVEMENT at smart form which i verify from MIGO.i-e:
SELECT SINGLE GRTXT FROM T157E
  INTO GV_GRTXT
  WHERE bwart eq '122'
  AND GRUND in (001,002,003)
  AND SPRAS eq 'E'
Thanks,

  • Dynamically call different pages in smart forms

    Hello Abap Gurus:
    I am creating a smart form for cobra letters, in which i need to display one letter for hourly employees, and other for salaried employees.
    For example in my variant if i have two employees one salried and other hourly then my cobra letters should print different letters for salried and hourly employees.
    Any suggestions are helpful.
    Thanks,
    Ratna.

    Hi,
    I am assuming that before coming to the Smartform you know the Status of the Employee. May be you can get the status from the Smartform Interface Parameters or else set the Variable (Used for comtroling the page printing) in the Driver Program and Import that variable to the Smartform.
    Now once 4 letters are printed after the 4th Letter Create a New Page Command and Check the New Page Check and give Page as "5th Letter Page Name" and Under the Condition Tab give your Variable Name with the Set Value.
    Similarly follow the same process for 6th Letter.
    I suggest to set the Variables Values in Driver Program and IMport this Variable to the Smartform unsing the Form Interface.
    Under the Condition Tab V_GROSS_HRLY(Say Identifier)  NE ' '. This is will take of Printing the New Pages. I think this logic should work.
    Let me know in case if you face any problem on this.

    hi all,
    can any one suggest me the way to change the height and the width of a table dynamically in smart form.
    thanx
    Manish

    Hello,
    That is not possible. You cannot alter the height and width of the smartform. Mainwindows height adjust automatically according to the data.

  • SP01 converting smart form reports to .htm, .doc

    Hello Gurus,
    In SP01 there is a option "Save as local file" to save spool request as file to .html or .trf file. That is not enable for invoice spool request, this report is developed in smart froms by ABAP developers.
    How can i save this report/ spool request to .htm, .rtf or spredsheet format.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi Diego237,
    If I understand you correctly you have a fillable PDF form that you fill with some report information, then you send that PDF form to customers via email, but you don’t want them to be able to altering it.
    You may use Adobe Acrobat to set/change restrictions for your PDF document – to specify what your customers could do with the document. For that just execute the following steps:
    1. Open your already filled PDF form document in Acrobat
    2. Chose File> Properties, select Security tab in Document Properties dialog.
    3. Choose Password Security in Security Method popup menu – it opens “Password Security – Settings” dialog. In Permissions area Select check-box “Restrict editing and printing of the document.
    4. In “Printing Allowed” drop down menu specify allowed printing options
    5. In “Changes Allowed” drop down menu specify “None” or otherwise whatever you want your customers be able to do with your PDF form.
    6. You need to provide password (for you to remember so that only you will be able to change that document again when needed),
    7. You need to Save that document for your new restricted permissions to take effect.  Then close and reopen the document – and verify permissions in Security tab of the Document Properties dialog. And if that’s what you intended – you could email that PDF document to your customers
    Now if you don’t have Adobe Acrobat yet but only free Reader, you would need to download a free trial version of Acrobat XI  Pro from here.
    And if that solution is working for you, please check out Adobe Acrobat Plus pages:
    https://www.stage.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html
    on how you could upgrade your CreatePDF subscription to Acrobat Plus subscription to allow you full right to download and use Acrobat XI Pro desktop application on your computer further on.

  • Displaying text in different languages using smart forms

    hi,
      I am working on smartfroms.
      I have to display the text in different languages using smartforms.
      how to proceed ?
    thanks,
    Aruna.

    To Display in Different Languages:
    Smartforms:
    In the Smartform you create:
    In General Attributes, in Translate, select the radiobutton 'Into Selected Languages' and specify the lang for which you want the translation to be available.
    To translate:
    Go to SE63.
    In menu, Translation -> ABAP Objects -> Other Long Texts.
    In the Object Type Selection window that appears, expand FS ( Forms and Styles) and choose SSF (SAP SmartForms)
    Specify your form name in Object Name and select the source and target lang and click on Edit button.
    In the editor screen specify translated text in the lower half.
    After you are done, click on Save Active button.
    To view your form in the translated language, specify that language when you login.
    SAPscripts:
    Goto SE76.
    Specify the script name, source and target language. Click on Create/Change button.
    Specify all the translations. Click on release.
    It will prompt you to translate window contents.
    Double click on the window and translate the contents. When you are done, the Translation Status will become COMPLETED. Click on Release again.
    (You can edit and check too)
    Now when you preview by choosing the desired language, the translated script is displayed.
    Hope this helps

  • Same text two different fields on one form

    HI.  I am trying to create button that allows me to copy text from one field to another on the same form.  In other words, at the top of my form i have a field for a "last name".  Under certain conditions i want to copy that "last name" into another field.  the button next to the latter field would ask "is the last name the same?"  if i hit that button then i want the text in the first field to import to the second field.  i think i need to use javascript but i can't write the asp.  help?

    George,
    These are the fields i want to copy.  Does the script look correct?
    // Get the value of the fields
    var v1 = getField("LENDER").valueAsString;
    var v2 = getField("TRUSTEE").valueAsString;
    var v3= getField("BORROWER").valueAsString;
    var v4 = getField("DATED_3").valueAsString;
    var v5 = getField("RECORDED_ 3").valueAsString;
    // Set the values of the other corresponding fields
    getField("LENDER_2").value = v1;
    getField("TRUSTEE_2").value = v2;
    getField("BORROWER_2").value = v3;
    getField("DATED_4").value = v4;
    getField("RECORDED_8").value = v5;

  • Unable to format print field on Smart Form

    Hello,
    I have a problem trying to format a print field so that it displays correctly.
    The field in question is a display of a percentage (KOMVD-KBETR).
    I currently have the following in a Program node:
    IF NOT <KO>-KBETR IS INITIAL.
    WRITE <KO>-KBETR CURRENCY <KO>-KOEI1 TO GV_KBETR .
    ELSE.
    CLEAR GV_KBETR.
    ENDIF.
    GV_KBETR has to be a character field for the WRITE to work. However if I use GV_KBETR in my TEXT node it appears some of the formatting options don't work on character fields. The one in question is (<)
    I created a variable GV_KBETR_DISP type KBETR and added GV_KBETR_DISP = GV_KBETR to the program node above. Thisformats fine on the smartform. However using this setup I occasionally get an error when executing the smartform which I diagnosed that the GV_KBETR_DISP = GV_KBETR statement doesn't handle the data correctly if the data has a space in it.
    Has anybody got any suggestions I could use to get round this problem?
    Regards
    Mike.

    Hi,
    Why can't you use the field - KOMVD-KBETR to display ?
    IF you want to map the currency to this currency format, then you can simply add it in the Gloabal defnition -> Currency / Qty fields tab.
    If you do not want to display the initial value, then you can use the text formatting option
    &symbol(I)&  Suppress output of the initial value

    I  am a fresher, i have only a basic knowledge in sap. please help me to improve my knowledge...
    I have some doubts???
    1) What the difference between normal report(created using SE38 interactive and classic) and smart forms report???
    2) whether we will use any even in script and smart form???
    Please do the needfull...
    thanesh

    Hi
    in smartforms and in scripts we write a driver program to execute the smatform /script.
    we can write the code in the smartform iteself also.
    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

  • Smart forms in different languages

    Hi all,
    i have an issue
    I hav to convert my smart form in 8 different languages.
    i know se63 but i dont want to use it as i have to maintain texts manually in different languages in se63.
    is there any FM or code with which i can convert my smart form in different languages.
    my smart form is originally made in EN language n i hav to convert it to german , italian , french , spanish etc.
    please tell me any SAP note no that would be really helpful.

    Hello,
    if you do to want to use se63, you have 2 way:
    1. use modul text ( see Transaction smartforms, 3°option on the screen)
    2. Use a standard text (so10 transaction)
    I mean that on smartforms you have to use only this 2 kind of text and, of corse, translate it.

  • Regarding smart forms (really urgent)

    if find useful help will be deifnately rewarded.

    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.

    5. User-friendly and integrated Form Painter for the graphical design of forms

    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.

  • Smart Form - operator not followed by value

    Hi all,
    in smart form --> Global definition --> initialization
    i have written this code....
    select belnr gjahr bukrs blart bldat budat waers into corresponding fields of
    table tbkpf from bkpf where
    bukrs = ubukrs and gjahr = ugjahr and budat in ubudat.
    Here cmp code and fiscal year is parameter but posting date is select-options.
    Its gives error :- The IN operator with "BUDAT" is followed neither by an internal table nor by a value list.
    i have taken input parameters also.
    Edited by: Julius Bussche on Nov 13, 2008 10:56 AM

    select-options should be handled in a different manner in smart forms.
    declare 2 variable say
    1) budat_low
    2) budat_high.
    Pass the low value of posting date to budat_low and high value of posting date to budat_high.
    then handle the above 2 variables in select query using BETWEEN.
    eg: budat between budat_low and budat_high.
