Dynamic table layout in Smartform

Hi,
Is there a way to have a dynamic table layout in smartform?
The idea is to be able to print any kind of table with fieldsymbols without having to define the table layout/cell layout at design time, or if it's not possible choose one of the predefined line types at runtime. Please don't post how to print out a table using fieldsymbols, this is not the topic of this question.
So I guess you'd need to choose the table line type at runtime or even better, create a table line type at runtime. Is this even possible?
Thanks

hi
good
Tables
You can include static and dynamic tables into a Smart Form. Dynamic tables enable you to display tables whose size is determined only at the moment of their output by the number of the table items to be displayed. Table functions are:
·        Line feeds in individual table cells
·        Event-controlled output of table headings and footers
·        Integrated calculation of grand totals and subtotals
·        Colored boxes and shadings in tables

Dynamic Table Layout

Version 4.0.2.00.06
Hello,
I need help to create a page where the data is coming from a table. To keep this discription easy (I hope) I have an employee table that I'll pull 3 columns from: emp_id, emp_image, emp_name.
The emp_id is hidden. I need to display the emp_image and the emp_name next to the emp_image on the right of the image. A button will be below the emp_name so the user can select that employee and the button will invoke a prcess to capture the emp_id.
The layout is defined as 2 columns and as many rows as there are in the table. So there needs to be an emp_image then the emp_name to the right of the image and a button below the name in column 1 and for the next row in the table that will appear in column 2. Row 2 of the screen will have the next two records from the table etc.
I've created a mock up that I hop will help make this more clear. Click here for image.
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks,
Joe

Fixed the link to the image.

Use a custom named column report template. Don't use HTML tables at all: this looks like a list, which can be styled using CSS <tt>floats</tt> to produce the required layout. (Some examples of similar techniques)
See:
<li>About Generic Column Templates and Named Column Templates
<li>Report Column Template Attributes for Named Column Templates
and the online help from the property labels on the Report Row Template page.

Manipulate Layout on ALV Grid with dynamic table

Dear all
i'm generating a dynamic table depending of a date selection. That means that I show columns for weeks and the quantity of weeky migh change.
Now the users wants to have a specific layout of the ALV grid with totals. When he saves the layout, only the weeks at this selection will show the next time he runs the programm with a larger selection.
a) Is it possible to modify the layout during runtime by programming?
b) Do you have any other ideas how to solve this problem?
Thank you

You don't know the names of your columns? hmm you do, because before you created dynamic table you had to create field catalog, so the structure and column names of newly (dynamically) created table will be the same like defined in the field catalog.
The last loop also does not look good, in my opinion should be something like:
LOOP AT lt_datatable +(my first table)+ ASSIGNING <ls_data4>.
    AT NEW pernr.
      APPEND initial line to <fs_1> assigning <fs_2>.
      <fs_2>-pernr = <ls_data4>-pernr.
    ENDAT.
    ASSIGN COMPONENT <ls_data4>-wage_type OF STRUCTURE <fs_2> TO <fs_5>.
    <fs_5> = <ls_data4>-amount.
ENDLOOP.
also keep in mind that number of calls of method cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table is limited to 36 (?) calls within one program session because it uses dynamic subroutine pool behind so you will have short dump if you will execute that 37 times.

How to dynamically include textelement in smartforms

Hi Experts,
I need to print payslip using smartform and need to take the values from pay99_result.
I took all the values and filled in the internal table and passed to smart forms, but the requirement is when ever particular wage type is given for an employee only that wage type only printed in the smart forms output. we have 87 wage types.
I designed the layout using table in window and created several table line, in the salray details table line rows values descripiton should come dynamically according to the particular month credited(affected) wage types.
This is the salary details line item .
desc amount annual semi annual deduction amount
textelement1 textelement2 textelement3 ... . . . .. ...
Inn single text element multiple coloumn need to come.
using this text element respective values should come dynamically, i tried condition in the text element , but if condition failed (no values for wage types) whole coloumn is not displaying but for me only that row should not printed.
Any one please guide me how to approach on this issue and how to pass the text element value dynamically ???
With Regards,
Thanesh

HI,
why dont you make use of Dynamic text concept in smartforms..which is fits in your requirement.. to make use of it..
on a window. right click and choose Text.. it will take you to text window..in that choose text type as D Dynamic text...
I hope this answer will help you..

How to dynamically replace variables in SMARTFORM texts based on item data?

Hi experts,
I'm currently designing a confirmation of order using Adobe PDF forms. The general layout with tables, pictures and texts was not big deal.
But one tiny bit doesn't work and I'm becoming more and more desperate about it.
We need various free texts for our pdf form. I created the texts using smartform texts. Some of these texts need to be slightly dynamic, so I added some dynamic fields in it.
For example:
"The material is currently out of stock.You can expect shipping around week &num_week&."
To replace the dynamic field &num_week& in my interface, I read that I have to name the dynamic field exactly like the corresponding field in my interface. In my case this would be now:
"The material is currently out of stock.You can expect shipping around week &SLS_PRT_COM-ITEM_DETAIL-ZZ_EXTRAFIELDS-ZZWEEKNUM&."
To see the text on my form, I added a text object with type 'text module' and the proper textname. Of course I'm able to insert text on my form, save and activate it without problems. But if I want to print the form, nothing happens as the print program exits with an error code.
After some hours I found out that this problem only occurs if I'm trying to replace the dynamic field with a field from the item table. Using a field from head details or globals like sy-mandt works like a charm.
So my question is: Is it possible to use item data to replace dynamic fields of a smartform text?
Greetings and thanks in advance!

Hi
Have a look at the links below:
LiveCycle ES2 * Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES2
Using floating field in Adobe Forms to display text paragraph with dynamic variables in between
After adding the floating field it will apeare in the hierarchy pallet above or bellow the text field.
Good luck

Try this. A simple sample Smart Form.
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)&

SMARTFORMS GENERATION: (calling internal table fields)
 Open a smartform using the tcode smartforms.
 Usually form attributes shows admn data.
 In the form interface declare import/export parameters if any. Else declare the tables in tables tab button.
 In the windows and pages expand and create a table. It automatically generates header, main area and footer for the table.
 In data tab button in the table we usually declare a work area to bring the data from se38. Like: ktab into wa. ( The purpose of declaring the wa is , to get the data of the ktab in to header from the body area of the internal table).
 And in the tablepainter pushbutton in table we can have any no of line types. Depending on the requirement. ( for ex: If we want to devide a row in to 4 columns, we can devide it as 4,4,4,4cm as line type 1, And usually for the footer we dont need no of columns, So, we declare it as one column with 16cm measure with the name line type 2.). We can use these line types in the tables.
 In the header right click>>create>>tableline. It asks for line type. Select one line type which is appropriate.
 Like same create a row2 in main area using right click. If we select the line type 1, it automatically generates 4 cells. We can create text in each cell as per requirement.
 We can generate general attributes using general attributes tab button in the text. Or in the other way. We can switch on the field list on/off button from the application tool bar. It displays all the attributes in the left down corner of the screen. We can drag and drop the required fields in the general attributes tab button of the text.
 We continue the same procedure for all the texts. The texts should be displayed in the gray color. Then only it can collects the data from the abap editor fields.
 If it wont turns gray, we can check the fields in the editor by changing it to the line editor. The best thing is to drag the fields from the list, rather than declaring like &wa-matnr&
 In the footer also we create a line type and in that table line we create text.

In the method I we are calling the amartform dynamically using the function module 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'.
Here we are exporting form name and importing fm_name.
So we need to declare the variable fm_name as
data: FM_NAME TYPE RS38L_FNAM.
We can have the type of the fm_name in the function module 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' (in the export tab button).
Since we are passin the name of the Function module generated by the smart form in to the fm_name variable. We run the function module with the name fm_name, but not the FM generated by the smartform(like /1BCDWB/SF00000199)¬¬¬¬¬¬.
In the method II we directly call the smartform generated function module (i.e, /1BCDWB/SF00000199).
But the method I is recommended. In the method I, The fm_name is a variable we dont put it in the quotes while calling.
In the both methods we declare the internal table using the like option, but not begin of. end of. And in select statement we select *, But not individual fields.

Sum of Values from previous rows in a dynamic table

Hello,
I have a dynamic table has multiple rows (added dynamically via a button). One column in the table is a Quantity column. Another is a Total column. We do not want to keep a running total, but only wish to display a total when the rest of the cells in that row are emty and the previous row(s) has/have values in the Quantity column. The Total is the sum on the Quatnities up to a blank row. Below is a sample. How do I get teh value of the Quantities in the previous rows?
Quantity
Total
5
8
12
25
7
27
34
22
22
Another option might be to put the Total in the last row with data as opposed to the row below the data.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Karl

Item Number in Dynamic Table Quirk

I'm a new LC user, ramping up to speed on this package, thanks to everyone for the useful information here and other places.
Using the great advice and info here,
http://www.assuredynamics.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Assure-Dynamics-Building-dynamic- tables.pdf
I added a dynamic table to a form I've been working on. Most everything works, except the caption on the Row/Item number. So, I yanked out the subform with the table on it to create a simpler copy of the form to post here. Get this... it works on the simple form. So, there's something going on on my not so simple form that is preventing my Row/Item number from working.
I'm hoping that if I post both forms here, someone can help me fix this thing.
this is the form that works:
http://inthequeue.com/adobeLC/Template_excerpt.pdf
this is the form that does not work:
http://inthequeue.com/adobeLC/Template_std.pdf
Thanks in advance
John Q.

Hi John,
Try changing the code in the layout:ready event from;
this.caption.value.text = (this.parent.index + 1).toString();
To;
this.caption.value.text.value = (this.parent.index + 1).toString();
That is add another ".value".
Your form that works targets Reader 8.0 or later and the one that doesn't Targets Reader 9.0 or later, I'm guessing that is the difference.
Regards
Bruce

Dynamic Table UI Element with different data type for each cell

Hi Experts,
I have a problem with a dynamic Table UI Element in Web Dynpro ABAP. I have the following coding:

Now my problem is, that I need for every ROW of my table UI Element a different cell editor. I know how to change it for the column. But is not my issue. I want to have images (traffic lights red and green) in some rows. The other rows should have numbers. The coding works, so that I have all the data at the right place in my table, only the images are shown as a string, because the cells of these rows have the cell editor Text_View. I tried something with cell variants (with cl_wd_table_standard_cell), but it was not possible for me to get a cell variant "image" in these cells/rows were I need it.
I hope you understand my problem and now what to do here.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Ingmar

Dynamic table header/footer on multiple pages stay original

hi experts,
i've got a form with a dynamic table. this means that i have a footerrow with mapped information if it should be visible or not. so the table can have from 1 to 40 columns.
i did some scripting in the table's initialize section:
loop over count of colums and set the headerrow, row1 and footerrow elements for index x to hidden.
everything works out fine BUT if the data spans over multiple pages the headerrow on pages 2 to last is original again. means that the hiding of cells is not effective any more. same with footerrow (but here its fine at last page and original at page 1 to last -1).
i tried to hide cells again in layout:ready section for the other instances of the headerrow.
cells got hidden, but the still visible cells didnt relocate to the left (if i hide it, there should be no space between staying cells).
can anyone please give me a hint what i am missing here?
does anyone have a simple sample for this task? its all about the header/footer for multiple pages!
thanks a lot!
daapoo

When the footer goes to the 2nd page the page subform is incremented so you will have to reference the page subform as well. I suggest that you add a button (this is for a test only) to the footer subform and add the code app.alert(this.somExpression). Now render the form and make sure the footer stays on one page. Hit the button and take note of the someExpression. Now add enough rows to force the footer to a new page. Hit th ebutton again and take note of the changed somExpression. So to solve your problem you will have to find out which page your footer is on. and then construct your expression to incorporate this chane in expression. Note that the indexes are 0 based but the page numbering is 1 based.
Hope that helps

Footer overflow in dynamic table

Hi,
great forum here.. so i have a problem with livecycle form...
I build up a form with a dynamic table, adding rows with a click on "+".
The footer is working correctly ( once visible on the end of the table, not repeated) .
One cell in the first row is growing automatically, depending on the text which is entered.
If the table does not fit on the page ( because of the added rows or because of the text in the cell ) , there is a break and the table is continuing on the second page.
These work fine.
Problem:
But if the table is broken on the second page, and i will click "+" for adding new rows, 1 or 2 rows are added on the first page;
because there is space left, because of the footer, which is now on the second page.
changing the free-area on master page did not help me.
my given conditions are:
the footer have to be tied on the last row of the table, that means: if the table is broken, at least one row should appear on the second page.
Can anybod help me please ?
here is my document:
http://acrobat.com/#d=bQadx7MnDYcNxLTLDCDdfg
thanks

Did you set the permission to allow everybody to view the file on acrobat.com? I am able to log in to acrobat.com - and I am logged in, but it tells me I need the latest Flash Player. I have just installed the latest and rebooted my iMac, but I still can't access your file. So I can't view your table...
One way around this is to create the table from individual objects, i.e., if each row has one Text and one Numeric cell = two cells per row, then
drag a Text field onto the Layout page, followed by a Numeric field.
wrap them in a subform.
Now you have your row. Then add the leader (header) and/or trailer (footer) objects. Proceed from here with your '+' and so forth.
Conclusion - a table doesn't have to start with the formal Table object. You can create your own manual (more flexible) table.

Dynamic table with dynamic drop-down list values

Hi,
I need to display a dynamic table with 2 columns on an interactive form.
My Context is defined as below:
Root
StudentData     0..n
StudentName
StudentCourses     0..n
Text
Value
The 1st column should display student name, 2nd column should display student courses. The courses will be different for each student. I populated the context properly. I checked it by printing them. My DDL is bound to "Student Courses".
When there is one row -> The DDL is populated with the courses of student 1 (as there is only one).
When there are more rows -> The DDLs for all the students are populated with all the courses of all the students.
I want to see the data populated like:
TEXTFIELD    DROP-DOWN LIST
Student 1------Student1-Course1
Student1-Course2
Student1-Course3
Student 2------Student2-Course1
Student2-Course2
Student2-Course3
I tried to do this in plain web dynpro using SVS.. it is also working similarly.
I have set the singleton property of nodes "StudentData" and "StudentCourses" to false.
Could any one tell me where I am going wrong?
Thanks
Ram

Ram,
I'm not sure how much this will help, but I know I had the same problem as you when I tried to get a similar thing working, but I can't remember which of the many changes I made fixed the problem, so I'll just show you my code and perhaps you can see if anything is different than yours.
Here's where I'm creating my dropdown - in my case EastNew_RegOut is the same as your StudentData, and RateTypeDropValues is the same as your StudentCourses (the comments in the code are not meant to sound bossy to you, this is actually an example piece of code that other developers in my company "steal", so I have to put very specific instructions in there!):
int nodeSize = wdContext.nodeEastNew_RegOut().size();
for (int i = 0; i < nodeSize; i++) {
     //create an element called "table", that's the element at i. So, basically it's a row. Maybe I should have
     //called it "row" instead of table.
     IPublicDeviceExchange.IEastNew_RegOutElement table = (IPublicDeviceExchange.IEastNew_RegOutElement)wdContext.nodeEastNew_RegOut().getElementAt(i);
     //this line of code just executes an rfc that finds out what rates need to be in the dropdown for this particular row
     executeRateTypeDropdown(rateCategory, table.getNum(), wdContext.currentEastNew_MeterOutElement().getReggrp());
     //clear out what's already in there before we re-populate it.
     table.nodeRateTypeDropValues().invalidate();
     //now, I'm looping through all the values in the *actual* rate type dropdown (the one that's an RFC, populated by the above "execute" method)
     for (int j = 0; j < wdContext.nodeEastRatetype_DropdownOut().size(); j++) {
          //for each element in the *actual* Rate type dropdown, I'm going to create an element in my node that I created
          //and set the values from the *actual* one as the values in my node.
                    IPublicDeviceExchange.IRateTypeDropValuesElement element = wdContext.createRateTypeDropValuesElement();
          IPublicDeviceExchange.IEastRatetype_DropdownOutElement rateTypeOut = (IPublicDeviceExchange.IEastRatetype_DropdownOutElement)wdContext.nodeEastRatetype_DropdownOut().getElementAt(j);
          element.setText(rateTypeOut.getText());
          element.setValue(rateTypeOut.getRatetype());
          //here's another key - notice how I don't say wdContext.nodeRateTypeDropValues() - it's the one that's
          //directly off that table I created earlier - the thing that's essentially a row in my newReg table.
          //So, what I'm doing here is adding that new element I created to the dropdown FOR THAT ROW!
          //(btw, if you're trying to duplicate this, and this method does not exist for your "table" object, it's
          //probably because you didn't listen to me above and you didn't create your node with the singleton property
          //set to false.)
          table.nodeRateTypeDropValues().addElement(element);
As for my layout... my table is bound to the EastNew_RegOut node, and the column with the dropdown is bound to RateTypeDropValues.Value (that's probably obvious, but there you have it anyway)
Finally, in my context, EastNew_RegOut is singleton = true (I was surprised about this, actually, I would have assumed it was false) with a selection of 0..1 and RateTypeDropValues has singleton set to false with a selection of 0..1
I hope that helps to some degree!

Help generate dynamic table in xslt for apache FOP

down vote favorite
For the following xml file, i need to generate an xsl-fo file to be converted into pdf.
I am new to style sheets and struggling to create dynamic table. Please help.
Also, the width for each column varies,based on the column.How would i include this into the code?
The Column Headers and Column Values are dynamically populated in the xml file. Below is a sample.
Can anybody please help in generating xsl-fo or xslt code?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<ReportData>
<ColumnHeaders>
<ColumnHeader>
<Name>Col-Header1</Name>
<Width>5</Length>
</ColumnHeader>
<ColumnHeader>
<Name>Col-Header2</Name>
<Width>10</Length>
</ColumnHeader>
<ColumnHeader>
<Name>Col-Header3</Name>
<Width>8</Length>
</ColumnHeader>
</ColumnHeaders>
<Rows>
<Row>
<Column>Row1-Col1</Column>

</Row>
<Row>
<Column>Row2-Col1</Column>
<Column>Row2-Col2</Column>

I did some xsl-fo a few years ago for a project.
It was an invoice generator spawning multiple PDFs out of single XML document generated from the database. Pretty cool stuff but very resource-consuming.
I'm a bit rusty but here's a basic example for a single table, based on your sample data :

Dynamic tables on one page - overflow problem with repeating header/footer

Hi,
with the help of the user RADZMAR I was able to create dynamic tables..
But now, I have got the next problem.
2 different tables are placed on 1 page.Each of them should be dynamic.
Please let me list what is working, and what not:
each textfield should be expandable (-> working)
Table 01 should be overflowing to page 02 (-> working)
Table 02 should be overflowing to page 02 (->working)
Table 02 should be scrolling to page 02 if tabele 01 is growing (->working)
Table 01 and Table 02 should be splittable (->working)
header 02 + the footer 02 ( from table 02) should be repeated on every page (->working)
header 02 + the footer 02 ( from table 02) should not be stand alone, indepentenly on which page (-> NOT WORKING)
In other words:
How can I reach, that the header and the footer enclose at least ONE textfield-row ?
The setting "keep with previous / following" did not helped me.
If the text in table 02 is large, the settings "keep with..." cause some layout destructions.
This is the screenshot of the problem:

Thanks and Greetings

Your question was "... but the font on the footer is much larger than that of the template", yes?
I only can repeat, look at the difference of:
1. index.html (Font-size > medium) >
2. Calendar.html (Font-size > no entry):
> "... font on the footer is much larger than that of the template",

P.S.
See us again - maybe - at Monday > we will do a nice little trip to Austria.

Tab Order of Dynamic Table or subform

Hi,
I have a page with few subforms. At this subforms are dynamic tables or dynamic subforms. How does the tab order works in this kind of layout.
Some time I have a few subforms or tables group together when activiate the tab order form the menu [View->Tab order]. I have the tab order arranged for a dynamic subform. When I preview and add a few instance of the subform (call it subform A), the first instance tab order follow what was set. But when tab to second instance of subform (subform A), the cursor just when to another subform (subform B). Why is that so? Shouldn't it just continue to the second instance?
Thanks for any help.

Hi Mike,
I have faced with the same problem also. So as a temporary solution, in the exit event of the last item in the table, I changed the focus to the next instance's first item. Not a good way. If there is any different solution, waiting also.
Asiye.
