Convert Sapscript to smartform

Hello,
I have to convert Sapscript to smartform ,to do that I have migrated sapscript to smartform and copied the standard driver program to Z program. Is there any way to get all interface parameters automatically without looking into each and every line in program to get the interface parameters?
Regards,
Kangarun.

I would expect to obtain this information by looking at the SmartForms design. I would assume that you're sending a table of variables for your main window and perhaps a structure if there are additional data needs in other secondary windows. So I would look at where the variables are used and create structures and table as needed for the windows.

Migrate PO output from Sapscript to Smartform

Hi,
I'll be migrating ZZMEDRUCK (customized copy of the standard form)that is in sapscript to smartform. I'll be doing this manually since some of the layout/format was changed by the user. Now do i have to create a new print program aside from the ZZSAPFM06P so that it will call the new smartform that i will make? Do i have to create a new output type? Or i dont have to do this and just change the configuration in M/34?
Thanks a lot.

TCode smartforms--> Utilities --> Migrate SAPScript form
This will copy hte SAP Script form into smart forms.
But this will not solve the purpose.
YOu will have to map the print program accordingly.
Hope this helps.
Please reward if useful
thnx

Sapscript to smartform migration problem

Hello,
I'm trying to migrate sapscript form to smartform. I used standard way in smartform transaction. After migration I found out that not all of sapscript windows waren't migrated. What's wrong? Does anybody deal with this problem? What's possibly cause?
Best regards,
Josef Motl

hi
check the below document may be helpful for you
Here is the background info from SAP
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/9d/9599386185c064e10000009b38f8cf/content.htm
Step 1. Access the initial screen. Choose Tools>Forms printout>Smart Forms (transaction SMARTFORMS) from the SAP Easy Access Menu. The dialog window SAP Smart Forms: Initial Screen appears.
Step 2. Name the form. In the Form Field, enter field name you want to give, for example ZTF_GR_## (based on your company standard starting with Z to identify this as a customized form, where ## is the group number).
Step 3. Access the migrate function. Go to Utilities>Migrate SAPscript Form. In the dialogue window enter the SAPscript form name, for example Y_SAPSCRIPT_STD. Choose the Check button.
Step 4. View the migrated layout. On the screen that appears, the SAPscript form is migrated into a rough Smart Form . Click on Form Painter to see an overview of the form layout.
Use the following steps for mass migration or simultaneous migration of multiple SAPscript forms: Step 1. Run the mass migration program. In Reporting (transaction SE38), select the program SF_MIGRATE and execute it (Figure 3). Select the names and the language of the SAPscript forms and click the execute icon. The system creates the Smart Forms named for the SAPscript forms plus the extension SF. It displays a list of the migrated forms.
Step 2. Make changes (if necessary). To change and adapt a form, go to transaction SMARTFORMS. Then activate the changed Smart Form.
Once the SAPscripts are converted, whether in Smart Forms or Smart Styles, you should clean up any errors made during the conversion process, in terms of attributes, window alignment, or syntax errors. Cleaning up errors during conversion is often standard procedure, as SAPscript might have used local logic. Errors may occur when a field displayed is extracted or manipulated to display and doesnt exist, or fields exist but appear with no values. Errors may also arise in ABAP syntax.
Step 1. Define the Import Parameter. Double-click on the Global Settings> Form Interface from the navigation menu
Step 2. On the Import Tab, enter the import structure information. For example, enter Parameter Name (table name, such as LIKP), Type Assignment: Type, Reference Type (table name), Optional (or Mandatory); Pass Val: (Passing value indicator). This must be done for all the data retrieved from the SAP tables.
Step 3. Remove irrelevant or unnecessary windows. To delete a navigational menu node, right-click on the node, and select Delete. Since you start with windows in SAPscript, there might be redundant windows created for text.
Step 4. Set the first page. Delete the NEXT page node on the menu tree. Double-click on the first page node. In the General Attributes tab, change the Next Page value to FIRST.
Step 5. Delete the DETAIL frame window. Expand the MAIN window and delete all its text nodes.
Step 6. Adjust the text nodes. Click on the text nodes and let the system fit the text.
Step 7. Save and check the syntax.

What SAP recommends in ECC 6. Either SAPSCRIPT or SMARTFORMS?

Hi all,
I want to know, what is the SAP's recommendation in ECC 6.0, whether to use sapscripts or smartforms for the important form print outs like purchase order, quotation, GR, GI, invoice, delivery note.
I knew that in ECC 6.0, for some cases, there are both sapscript and smartforms available, for example Purchase order, Delivery note, invoice etc. In this case what is the SAP's recommendation? to use sapscripts or smartforms??
I heard that SAP does recommend.
Awaiting your reply,
Balaji

Hi
These are few lines from sap help:
Smart Forms replace SAPscript forms. SAPscript forms will still be supported in the future; you can use them without making any changes for years to come. You can even use SAPscript texts in the Smart Forms.
Migration of SAPscript forms into Smart Forms is supported.
Even go through this link :

Hi,
You have the option in SAP Smartforms.
Goto SMARTFORMS and name your smartform. Dont press Create Button.
Now follow the path. GOTO -> Migrate SAP Script form.
You will get a pop-up window to enter the name of SAPscript from which you would like to migrate and choose language and then press enter.
and also have alook at the following link

Convert SAPSCRIPT into SMARTFORMS

Hi,
How to Convert SAPSCRIPT into SMARTFORMS
Thanks,
Rathul.

Hi,
There are two way through which you can convert sapscript into smartforms.
(1)
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.
(2)
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.
Note :
While Converting sapscript into smartforms,only layout has passed.But you have do all logic coding in your smartforms.
Steps :
(1) Understand logic of sapscript program.
(2) Understand SAP script windows data.
Now make your technical Design Accordingly,and now do code accordingly for your smartforms
Reward points if found helpfull...

Migrate script to Smartforms

Hello ,
Background :
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.
Problem :
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
Would a good TS / FS documented as follows suffice :
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.

Have anyone used ADOBE FORM instead of using sapscript or smartform and assigned to Output types in NACE tcode?
If so, please give details for the same.

If you are looking for documents on Adobe, check the link -
Re: adobe forms
Otherwise whatever form you want just check for its alternative in ADOBE at SAP Market place and use it.

Sapscripts and smartforms

Hi,
Please tell me how to do language translations in sapscripts and smartforms.
I want to to each form in 12 languages.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi
You can assign the language directly by trx SE71 fot sapscript and SMARTFORMS for sm.
In both trx you can see the section LANGUAGE ATTRIBUTES
Here you can create a version of your form for all language you need.
But all these versions'll be as original, so you need to change all texts you've inserted, i.e you have to translate all texts.
For SAPSCRIPT you can do it by SE71 because you can choose the language (so the version) of the sapscript you want to translate, but for the SAMRTFORMS I believe you can only use trx SE63.

Differnce between SapScript And Smartform

hi All,
Can anyone tell me the difference between sapscript and smartforms.Which we have to use
Points rewarded for answer
Harpreet

Hi harpreet,
1. Can anyone tell me the difference between sapscript and smartforms
some practical differences are :
*----
One main difference which is
visibility in the report is TABLES
(in sapscript we cannot design MATRIX like tables,
having grid lines,
but in smartforms, it is much possible to
design tables, having grid lines, color just
like excel table)
a) sapscript requires
 - driver program (se38 program)
 - layout (se71 layout)
 smartforms just require
 smartform,
(and a program is just required for
 selection screen purpose)
b) the logic of printing (ie. sequence, flow)
 is CONTROLLED BY drier program,
 in case of sapscript.
where as in smartform, it is inbuilt using TABLES element.
c) In sapscript we cannot write our own logic for printing.
 where as in smartform,
we can write our own logic for pritning.
(we can even write SELECT Statements, DATA statements,
 and many program lines + logic to suit our requirements)
2 Which we have to use
If we are copying some standard sapscript,
then we have to go for sapscript only.
We can use both. but practically smartforms is easier to
develop.

amit m.

Application form EFRM : from Sapscript to Smartform

Dear all,
I want to link an existing application form with Sapscript (Trans. EFRM) to a Smatform.
(So, I want to use my EFRM with a Smartform instead of a Sapscript)
Is it possible... (I don't want to copy manually my EFRM ;o)
Nicolas

Snif ... it's not possible. Aaaaaaaaaaaah
See documentation of data element EFG_DTE_FORMTYPE
Type of Application Form
States whether the form is an application form to be prepared by a SAPscript or SmartForm.
Use
The form type is assigned when you create the application form and you cannot change it.
