Hi Friendz,
Im having a problem in Template using smartforms. Actually, I need a Header Caption for this with a format :
COMPANY DEPT BASIC
so i created a text for this...
but once i viewed the report ,the output display is in the format :
COMPANY
DEPT
BASIC
Kindly help me with my problem...output must be in a one line with 3 columns.
What is the purpose of append directly,new line and new paragraph in properties of Text.Is there any technik for this text?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
usually the proceddure is we have to divide the template into three parts
now create three text elements
and in each text give
company
dept
basic
now go to output options and
in the bottom of it output structure will be there
in that line 1
column 1 for first one
line 1 column2 for second one
and try to give the styles form attributes
output options tab
style zstyle
i hope it works

Return key not creating a new line when using the horizontal text tool

Going through the adobe after effects 'classroom in a book' examples - when writing a line of single line using the horizontal text tool pressing return does not create the next line underneath, the cursor stays on the same line?
Anybody out there had this problem?

Hi Bill
Thanks for replying!
My OS is windows 7. I think it is the first time I have needed to put more than one line of text in an after effects layer. I am new to CS5.5 - after effects and I'm going through an adobe tutorial 'classroom in a book' series book.
I thought about using a paragraph text box as you suggest but could not find the function in the tools menu.
I have since tried clearing the cache out and restoring default layout but with no joy.
I have used the return key for multiple line text in premier pro and it works perfectly ok.
Cheers,
Alan

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)&
5. Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program
REPORT ZSMARTFORM.

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.

Templates in smartform

Hai All,
I want to know what the use of templates in smartform, and difference between table and templates. I know template is static and table is dynamic but i wnat more details.
Why sap brings template in smartform?
Thanks
Alex

Hi Alexander,
when you define a table, in fact you define row type.
After that, you use a row type with data.
when you define a template, you have the whole struture in statitc.
Example: imagine you have items, but for some item, you would like to print text. The row type will be different, you don't know the size (number of line) of your text. So you can only use the table.

What is a template in smartforms

Hi,
All,
can anybody expalin me about the use of template in smartforms. with some detailed description and usage of it

HI,
Template in smartforms is static.
for example when you want to give heading for your table output , you can use templates..
MATNR WERKS    -
> this is a template
1000       nl09        ---> this is a table.
1001    nl09
Both the Templates and Tables can be used for printing texts or application data in tabular format in Smartforms.
Templates: Templates are used in layouts when the number of rows are known and fixed.
Tables: Tables are used to print dynamic data, where the number of rows cannot be determined in advance.
rewards if useful,

Printing dunning notices using SMARTFORMS,error during parameter transfer

Hi Friends,
                I face a error message "Include text ZGA_DUN_HDR does not exist (object TEXT, ID ST)" when i run the dunning run.
                I had searched every node for text ZGA_DUN_HDR in the smartform,I didnt find the text in it.
However when I execute the smart form for print preview an error message "Printing dunning notices using SMARTFORMS,error during parameter transfer".This error i believe is due to wrong parameter passing in the fm 'GET_SF_DUNN_DATA'.It raises an error no_parameters_found.All parameters are passed correctly.
                Can you guys help me out.

Printing Dunning Letters using Smartforms

Hi all,
I have a requirement wherein I need to print dunning letters using smartforms; the dunning data are extracted in program SAPF150D2;I modified the subroutine OFI_DUN_ACT to call function module FI_PRINT_DUNNING_NOTICE_SMARTF.
Now I need to extract the dunning data in program SAPF150D2 to be imported to my new form using GET_SF_DUNN_DATA, my question is where do I code the calling of FM GET_SFG_DUNN_DATA? I'm a little bit confused on the step by step process of the dunning data extraction to printing of the form... Thanks...

In the INITIALIZATION of the Smartforms, after the call to GET_SF_DUNN_DATA, you have a many informations back, of which the record of MHNK and an internal table of MHND, which you can use to select other informations from database.
So fill or enrich your own internal table in the initialization.
I enclose thereafter a sample to help you

Interactive document using Smartforms

Hi,
The customer wants an interactive page to be developed using Smartforms with editable text field and checkboxes. Can this be done in Smartforms? If yes then can you please tell how to do it?
I thought Smartforms in for output only. Can it be used to take inputs and perform some events based on these inputs?
Please reply asap as the customer is behind me and I need to say if it is possible or not..
Thanks in advance,
Rashmi

Rashmi,
You will have to use the new ADOBE forms, which are interactive and the user can enter data. But I think its available with WAS 6.40. The transaction code is SFP.
I am not sure which version of SAP / BASIS your on. If you are SAP R/3 4.6C or 4.7, this might not work.
Hope this helps.

Email templates using data from iWork Numbers spreadsheet

As a photographer, when I get a call from a client to book a shoot, my first step is to open my bookings spreadsheet in Apple's Numbers and input the client's info into pre-determined columns: name, phone number, job date, job scheduled arrival time, job address, job city, travel distance, details regarding the shoot, and then I have a list of columns that specify costs (cost for work, taxes, travel, etc--automatically calculated via functions in spreadsheet).
Immediately after I insert this information into the bookings spreadsheet, I open another file (a text file)--a text template I created to confirm bookings--and fill in the blanks using the information from the spreadsheet. Once that info has been filled out, I copy and paste the entire text file into an an email and email it to the client for his confirmation/records. The email template text (txt) file I use is included below.
Question: Is it possible to create a script that will read the specified row in my Numbers booking spreadsheet (ie, the row where I input the information in the spreadsheet) and have the information inserted into the separate text confirmation template (apple pages or text or email?) at specified areas within the text? If so, can someone help me make something like this? Here's the template I use:

Let's begin with your first question:
I've tried to change the "Template.txt" file into an rtf so that I can apply bolding and underlining to certain sections (ie, bolding to the entries like client_name, job_date, etc... and underlining to the "Steps"), and I changed the script from Template.txt to Template.rtf to reflect this change... but when I run a script I get a bug... is there any way to use an rtf file in place of the txt?
The following script should work with an RTF file, provided you don't mind using [GUI Scripting|http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/uiscripting/index.html] (in blue below). Before running the script, you will have to enable the Accessibility Frameworks by clicking the checkbox labeled "Enable access for assistive devices" in the Universal Access System Preference pane.

Rotation of label using smartforms by 90 deg using zebra printer

Hi,
I am facing one problem using smartforms for label printing. Since the zebra printer which is being used requires 90 deg rotation of form for the normal smartform design. I have even tried using ZPL commands by using ^FWR command in the window attributes but the text within that window only gets rotated and each line gets overwritten on one another. Please let me know if it s possible to rotate the complete form in smartform for label printing using zebra printer.
Thanks and Regards
Anand

Sending mail based on condtion using smartform

Hi friends,
I have header data and item data...in the below way..
header data
   vbeln     =     1000
item data
posnr      recipient       materail no       quanity     amount
    10          1000              abc                 100             10000
    20          2000              pqr                  100               5000
      n             n                   n                        n                  n
Now the for a particular recpient the data may go to next page ie: several pages.. if the item data for the same recipient is same then it should not display the header data in the 2nd page but it should only print the item data.
now based on the recipient changes i should print agian the header data and then the item data from the next page.
and also as the recipient is changing the mail should go to another person ie: all the related recipients mail will be send to one person and others to some other person
ie:        recipient    1000   --- person1
           recipient     2000 --- person2
         like that.
how can i do..? can any one suggest me
Regards
Kumar

Hi..
I implemented similar one just a month back. But, I am not sure I can explain it completely or not... but there are few steps.
There are two solutions actually.. I am giving the simplest one...
Step 1 : Create just one page (Even header data will be within MAIN page)
Step 2 : Build an internal table combining header and item data.
            Vbeln               item         material        recipient
             1000                 10              mmm         10001
             1000                  20             nnn           10002
               and so on
            SORT itab by recipient.
Step 3 : Use loop Node to loop thru' itab
             Use on change functionality (Copy current WA to Temp. WA to check the recipient change.. and all that code to be
             implemented) For each New recipient, set flag 'X'. Also change the Page (Use command Node to start the new page) - Do not forget to tick 'Not on First Page' in conditions tab.
             Display header Text/Block/Template with condition Flag = 'X'. And Item table without any condition.
The second solution is requirement specific... Let me know whether this works... If not, i'll give you the other
- Audy. (Email is in my business card, you can use that)

Hi Fareeda,
To print a barcode in a smart form,you need to create a character format for the barcode.
TO create a character format,you need to do it in SMARTSTYLES tcode.
Follow these steps:
Go to the SMARTSTYLES tcode.
Give a name to your style and create it.
Give a description and save it.
On the left hand side of the window,you will find character formats.
Click on it and press F5.
Give a name to the character format and select OK.
Give a description for the character format and save it.
There you will find a tab by name General Settings.In that Tab you will find BarCode.
Select any one of the style for the barcode as per your requirement.This is the name of the barcode.
Now save the character format and activate the samrtstyle.
To use the bar code in the form,follow these steps:
now in the window,you will find a tab by name OUTPUT OPTIONS.Ther give the name of the style same as the name that you have created in the SMARTSTYLES.
In the text element window,Select the character format that you have created in the smartstyles.
Now in the text elements of the window, type the field name for which you want to print the bar code in the following way to print the bar code:
&<work area/table name >-<field name>&
