Migrate script to Smartforms

Hello ,
<b>Background :</b>
1) After I migrate Script to smartforms . I get around 200 windows .
As 200 windows have been defined in a script .( 1 window per box).
2) The layouts are pretty complex and it would take around 2-3 days to create a new smartform .
3) I cannot use the existing scripts for a few modifications have to be made to header and footer and it's easier to make them in smartforms
4)The output after migration is good . A few Modifications But it's fine.
<b>Problem  :</b>
i)Would it lead to a performance problem due to presence of 200 windows if I migrate .
ii)Would it lead to  maintainance problem if I migrate as  I cannot see all the 200 windows at once in the form painter . I can see only the window on which I have placed the cursor .
Kindly Help me find a solution.

Thanks Sooness .
Actually there are around 12 scripts .
So Total Development time will be around 30 days if I create a new smartform. since the layout is very  complex .
And 9 days if I migrate scripts to smartforms with changes ..
So the Conflict in my my mind is whether to go for less Development Time now and maintainance problem later
<b>Would a  good TS / FS  documented as follows suffice :</b>
1) By taking a printout of the layout .
2)Writing the variable name in each window .
3)Scanning it and using it as FS.
I feel FS/TS is usually not read afterwards .
So even after documentation , Maintainace problem will not be solved .
I do not have that much time . So I would have to put extra efforts at night for creation of new smartforms.
i have to deliver them in 15/20 days .
So Do you suggest putting extra efforts now to make a new smartforms to avoid maintainence problem later .
Kindly give your valuable suggestion.

    HI,
    SAPscript technology is based on a mainframe product from the 1980s, while Smart Forms have only been around since (roughly) 2001.

    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.

    You can create a variable window in the main window.
    You can restrict the last item of the main window by varying the size of main window. In your wite-form ,
    CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
          EXPORTING
             element                  = 'ITEM'
          function                 = 'SET'
          type                     = 'BODY'
          window                   = 'MAIN'
          EXCEPTIONS
            element                  = 1
            function                 = 2
            type                     = 3
            unopened                 = 4
            unstarted                = 5
            window                   = 6
            bad_pageformat_for_print = 7
            spool_error              = 8
            codepage                 = 9
            OTHERS                   = 10.
        IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    DO this. in the bottom of the main window, create a variable window.
    you can add your text in the variable window inside main window.
    it will be displayed just after the item ends.

  • How to automatically create the custom migration scripts after recreating SSMA project?

    How to automatically create the custom data migration scripts after recreating SSMA project?
    There is number of tables ( big tables with BLOBS)  which I want to set up automatically to be migrated with custom migration scripts (replacing e.g. attribute named "FILE" with "TO_BLOB('') AS FILE" ).
    So the question is how to open MB file (I think that it should be standard db of some destktop RDBMS) ? 

    Hi Roman.Pokrovskij,
    According
    to your description, we can use SSMA tool to migrate data from one database (including Access, Oracle and so on) to SQL Server via GUI or the scripts. There is an example about migrating Access database to SQL Server via the
