Hi All,
I am designing a Smart form. i have 5 page .

How to add this new view and how to get the selected Row value ?
Please help me.

Hi,
To open the new window, I have added blow code:
IWDWindowInfo windowInfo = (IWDWindowInfo) wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("InfoPopup");
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createWindow(windowInfo, true);
window.open();
but, getting error message as : IWDWindowInfo cannot be resolved

Hi experts,
I have a requirement like if I click a button in a view i need ti generate a PDF through smart form.
Is this possible. If so please tell me the way..
Thanks & Regards

Hi Sharma,
Create Interactive form in your view, create one node say PDF_SOURCE under this one attribute PDF_SOURCE of type XSTRING.
Bind this to IF form Datasource and pdfsource.
in your button action write code to call your smartform
using SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME
using FM CONVERT_OTF and attach_file_to_response
*convert to pdf
call function 'CONVERT_OTF'
    EXPORTING
      format                = 'PDF'

    export mydata = lv_string to data buffer lv_buffer.
    import mydata to l_xline from data buffer lv_buffer in char-to-hex
    mode.
    concatenate l_pdfstring l_xline into l_pdfstring in byte mode.
endloop.

Error in calling/converting smart form from ECC to pdf in portal.

Hi,
We have a requirement in our project where we have to show IT form in portal exactly in the way payslip are shown in ESS
Screen, that is in the pdf form in ess portal screen.
For this my HR abap consultant has made one customize smart form which is being called from a RFC FM.
After the FM lf_fm_name gets executed , the OTF data is being captured and then converted in to PDF.
After that the PDF is then converted into XSTRING format which is then supplied to the portal side through export parameter
of the RFC.
Now when we debugged the RFC, the conversion is taking place perfectly fine in to XSTRING.This is wat we assume.
Portal Side: I have used Iframe ui ELEMENT in my webdynpro java and its property source I have binded with a value attribute
of type string and I am executing above customize RFC given to me by my HR abap consultant and after executing that RFC with
userID and payroll year as its import parameter I am taking export parameter of that RFC with name pdf_string of type XSTRING
of that RFC into my webdynpro java value attribute which i binded to source property of Iframe.
Now when we see the output in portal , first of all pdf is not getting generated and its showing the error message:
file does not begin with '%pdf-' and secondly errored Adobe form getting opened outside Iframe window its not coming within
Iframe window like what payslip comes inside Iframe UI element.
I want to know what mistake we are doing in our ABAP coding or portal coding.
Please help.

Hi Satyam,
You can use the existing SAP GRT framework for developing the app.
Its easy and provides more features.
See this wiki:

Calling a smart form or script

hi guys,
can we call 2 smartforms from the same driver program and call 2 sap scripts from same driver program if so can any one help me by giving some code for both smartform and scripts.
thanks
pavan.

Not sure about SmartForms, but yes to SAPscript. You can do it in configuration.
For example-
Use txn NACE.
Select V1 for SALES and pick OUTPUT TYPES.
Select BA00 for the Order Confirmation and choose PROCESSING ROUTINES.
Select 1 for PRINTOUT and hit the details icon (magnifying glass).
You can list up to 5 programs and SAPscript layout sets. They will all get processed in sequence.

Call text element and command in smart forms

Hi, I have create a smart form that have one text element and one command. The command is for do a page break.
I have seen that you can call the smart form from a program doing:
1.-'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
2.-call function fm_name
That is not ok for me because I want to call to the smart forms manually as befores it done with sap-script, open form, write , close form...
What function Have I to use to call to the text element?
What function Have I to use to call to the command?
Someone have and example calling a smart form from an abap.
Thanks in advance.
MANUEL

Hi Vinod, I do not understand very good that you propose.
I explain more details of I have to do:
I have a abap program that read and write some data, I want to pass every line of the report to smart form, and in some lines comes a break page that I have to force also in the smart form, the idea
LOOP AT ITAB.
   IF ITAB-LINE EQ '<BREAK>'.
BREAK PAGE IN SMART FORM
   ELSE.
PASS ITAB-LINE TO SMART FORM
   ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
In order to do that I have created in the smart forms one text element X_LINE that represents every line and a command NEWPAGE that force page break.
Is possible to do that I want by the way that you propose?
Thanks in advance.

How to call text editors in smart forms?

In my module pool program,I included text editors for three fields.I want that fields in smart forms too.I need to know how these text editors are called in smart forms?

Hi achu,
Any text that gets saved has a corresponding entry in table STXH table. It usually has the following parameters : TDOBJECT,TDNAME,TDID and TDSPRAS.
What you have to do is create a new text element and under general attributes ---> Type - give Include Text.
And in the include text you give the above four parameters which correspond to the text you want to display.
P.S. Do not forget to check the 'No error if no text exists' checkbox.
Hope this helps.

Arun

Calling Smart Form using Driver Program

Hi, I'm a new ABAP developer. I've recently been studied about Smart Forms and I didn't understand what are the benefits to call a smart form using driver program.
Could anyone help me, please?

Bruno, it works like this.
Lets says you attach a Z output to a sales order which sends the details of the SO to the customer in a PDF format. For this purpose you have developer the o/p using smartforms or scripts. Now there are few configs that you will perform in order to send the PDF to the customer AUTOMATICALLY once the SO is saved. This is done thru the transaction NACE where you will attach the smartform, the o/p, partner function and driver program.
This driver program will get kicked in when the order is saved and will perform the logic and then call the smartform.
Hope this give a little bit better picture.

Smart forms - Identifying the calling method and class

Hi Experts,
Is there a way to identify the method and class names that called a smart form..
Any inputs or pointers in this regard woul;d be of great help.
Regards,
Kris.

Hi Kartik,
The procedure you suggested is good to identify the class by manual intervention.
But I need the class/mehtod name in the program as the logic of the code depends on which class called the smart form.
Any idea how this can be read?
Regards,
Kris.

Smart form printing without dialog box

Hi,
Thanks to eveyone for reading this post.
I want to print a form thru smartform. I am able to do that now by calling that smart form and passing the data. Now i wanted to print multiple docs using smartform so that the dialog box printer doesnt apppear and all printing is executed without any user intervention.
I tried to call smart form in the following way so that data is printed to the printer without any thing appearing on the screen (dialog box).
I did consult the forums here and when i try it I either see the dialog box or see other sy-subrc.
Code -
Data: w_ctrlop TYPE ssfctrlop,
         w_compop TYPE ssfcompop.
W_COMPOP-tdnewid   = 'X'.

W_COMPOP-TDDEST    = 'LP01'.
*W_COMPOP-tdnoprint = 'X'.
W_ctrlop-DEVICE    = 'PRINTER'.    " Here we dont give printer name 'KX-P3696'.
w_ctrlop-no_dialog = 'X'.
w_ctrlop-preview   = ''.

    control_parameters = w_ctrlop

    OTHERS             = 5.
i would be glad if anyone can help me. I did a few RND in the code above to make it work but it dosent.
Moreover when the dialog box appears then there is a text in the bar below which says please maintain printer master data. (something like that). Is that creating a problem ?
Thanks,

Why sapscripts are client dependent & smart forms are client independent?

why sapscripts are client dependent & smart forms are client independent?

You developed the script in development client , you can't find the same in testing client even though the server is same.
Where are You developed the smartform in development client , you can find the same in testing client even though the server is same.
Few more reasons why....? Please read below:
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. As you have noted correctly, client dependence is a fundamental one.
Although SAPscript has had some incremental improvements over time,
its forms have always been -- under the hood -- relatively passive objects, with minimal embedded logic.
These forms were designed to be driven and controlled by ABAP programs,
much in the way ABAP programs read in database tables to produce reports;
if you ever download a SAPscript form (e.g., via utility program RSTXSCRP),
and look at the portable text file it produces you'll see what I mean.
Many text objects (e.g., invoice header texts) are bound directly to documents which are client-dependent, so it makes sense for these text objects to also be client-dependent. From a complexity standpoint, SAPscript forms are close enough to these text objects where I can see how it made sense at the time to make them client-dependent too.
Conversely, a Smart Form is significantly more robust and complex. For instance, it can contain program nodes and nested tables with patterns. When a Smart Form is compiled, it generates an ABAP function module and these are always client-independent. This is appropriate, given that this form has more in common with an ABAP program than its predecessor. For instance, when a print program calls a Smart Form, the form itself takes over to produce output, without any further direction from the print program. In fact, the join is so seamless that I often find myself using a Smart Form's Initialization section for logic to handle any data gathering not handled by the print program. I would never even think to attempt this with SAPscript.
Several factors figured into SAP's decision to make Smart Forms client-independent, including customer feedback. There are significant advantages to client-independence. For instance, a change made in one development client happens immediately across all development clients. Among other things, this means we don't have to waste time figuring which client contains the most recent version -- they all do! In addition, transporting Smart Forms is easier, since we can safely bundle them together in the same transport as their client-independent print programs (no worry about mixing client-dependent and independent objects).

Performance tuning in Smart form

Hi,
How to performance tuning in Smart form level
Any tips available kindly send me any one .
Thanks&Regards,
Maya

Hi,
If you are using a customized print program to call the Smart Form...it is better to fetch most of the data as much as possible within it and pass it useing form interface/functional module interface.
Then in the ABAP code where ever used, fallowing the ABAP coding performance tuning options like avoiding the MOVE-CORRESPONDING, INTO CORRESPONDING, using binary search for READ statement...etc...
Regards,
Bharat.
