Print Charts/Graphs on Smart Forms

Hi Seniors,
Here is a requirement on Smart Forms:
I need to print Charts on Smart Forms. I have been through many answers on SDN but unfortunately, there are not many appropriate solutions. I executed some standard reports and got Charts and graphs as output but am not able to use it to display the same on Smart Forms. I have even tried using classes for charts / graphs, business graphics(may be there would have been some sequential procedure for that).
In the Smart Form, I have tried Form Attributes>Output Options>Output Format--> XSF output
with output mode: 'Spool' and Output Device: 'XSFOUTDEV' from help.sap(I couldn't get what output device that was and was unable to execute).
I have tried executing transaction GRAL(demo reports for SAP graphics) too.
I found a report that would produce graph in Excel, I executed it, saved the graph from excel in '.bmp' format in SE78 and then printed it on Smart Form. But all I want is to have it done dynamically.
I saw answers that we can save the graph chart/graph onto the desktop, upload it and then display it on the Smart Forms. But, when i tried it, I saw that it could be saved only in '.dat' format. I have to save it dynamically in a supported format like '.bmp' and print it on the Smart Forms(the graph would change depending upon the input values). Please help me resolve this.
Thanks in Advance,
Chaitanya.

Dear Bouman,
Thank you for the reply. I can write a report if would helps me to upload images dynamically. I saw your program but, here we cant give the name of the chart that comes as output. I tried to save the chart but it comes in '.dat' format but not in '.bmp' format. We may be having some classes or function modules that we need to call in a particular sequence. What other options do we have. Please help me resolve this.
Regards,
Chaitanya.C.N

Printing Chinese Characters in Smart Forms

Hi,
Iu2019m trying to print Chinese characters via smart forms. However during print preview or print, all Chinese characters are showing as # symbols.
I have researched and implemented for some possible solutions posted in the forum like:
a.) Setting the regional language control panel.
b.) Activating the multi-byte function in I18N.
c.) Checked the output device is SWINCF.
d.) Control parameter language is ZH (Chinese).
Unfortunately it still doesnu2019t solve the problem. Any input is highly appreciated.
With regards,
Marc

Remark following basics:
Forms:
Language of the form must be: "ZH".
Due to a SAPNOTE only font family CN* (CNSONG etc.) is mapped.
For frontend print, you must install chinese true type on you local PC and print via "CNSAPWIN" .
For backend print, you must install neccesaary fonts in your printer to the resident fonts. You must use a printer like "CNHPL4" or so.
For PDF archiving, you must upload truetype fonts to application server -> basis guys.
Cascading Fonts:
If you mix different subfonts to unicode areas, you must use CNSAPWINCF.
Until now, only frontend printing is available.
Note:
Spool created for back end print with print preview is only a simulation of getting a picture of the output created with front end technology. So it can differ, when the printer does not have the resident fonts.

Christian

How can i print currency symbol in smart form?

how can i print currency symbol in smart form?
i want to print the currency symbol with grant total based on the vendor currency.
pls hepl............

Hi,
think You can't print the symbols for currency like $ and Pound etc
see this doc if needed
A variable in SAPscript is called a symbol. There are the following types.
System symbol (e.g. the number of the current page)
Standard symbol (usable in any document)
Program symbol (value from the print program)
Text symbol (local variable)
The value of a symbol is text for using within SAPscript code and is represented by the symbol-name enclosed by ampersands. On seeing the tell-tale ampersands in SAPscript code, you sometimes need to figure out the symbol type.
goto any PAGEWINDOW's Text elements in Script (SE71)
from the Menu-> INSERT-> Symbols
you find all symbols here
System symbols
System symbols in a SAPscript form are comparable to system fields like SY-UZEIT in an ABAP program, and include these. The graphical editor offers three types of system symbol.
1. General system symbols
See the table TTSXY. PAGE is the most widely used. The list given in our BC460 training manuals is out of date.
2. SAPscript system symbols
See the dictionary structure SAPSCRIPT. SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES is the most widely used.
3. ABAP system symbols
For the ABAP system field SY-UNAME, say, the symbol is SYST-UNAME. http://SYST is the dictionary structure for ABAP system fields.
Sample code:
User: &SYST-UNAME&
Page &PAGE& of &SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES(C3)&
Standard symbols
Standard symbols are maintained centrally (in the table TTDTG via transaction SE75) for use in any document. Menu path:
Tools
Form Printout
Administration
Settings
Some standard symbols are SAP-standard and others are custom. Curiously, table TTDTG is cross-client although SAPscript forms are not.
The value of a standard symbol has to be defined for each language used. This gives a way to make a single SAPscript form multi-lingual.
We can take advantage to an extent of the central maintenance, though there is no guarantee that the available standard symbols will used in every appropriate context.
Standard symbols complicate searching a SAPscript form, since text like Charity registration 211581 may be hiding in a standard symbol.
Text symbols
A text symbol is declared and assigned to within the SAPscript code, and so obviously applies only to the current document. The command DEFINE is used, requiring /: in the tag column, as in the following examples.
/: DEFINE &COMP_NAME& = University of Warwick
/: DEFINE &WS_RATE& = &TAX_SUMM_C&

Print Bar code in Smart form

Hi,
Can you pls tell me how to print bar code in smart form?

Hi,
You create a bar code or change a bar code in the font maintenance transaction (transaction SE73). To do this, proceed as follows:
○ Start transaction SE73, and choose System Bar Codes ® Change.
○ If you create a bar code, the system asks whether you want to use the new bar code technology or traditional system bar codes. Choose New.
You can enter a name and a description for the bar code. Note that the name must begin with a Zto avoid conflict between your bar codes and the standard bar codes.
2. If you have created a new bar code, you must now add this to a Smart Style as a character format. For information about this, see the section Maintenance of Styles with the Style Builder and its subsections in the Smart Forms documentation.
If you have only changed the bar code, continue with the next step.
3. You can now select text in Smart Forms and choose the corresponding style with the bar code as the character format for this text.
4. You can then print the bar code.

Dynamic graph in Smart Forms

Hi
I have searched the forums and noticed this question has been put forward many times but without a complete solution.
I have so far managed to use the IGS to create a .JPG/PNG file for me. I seem to have an error while trying to create a BMP file, basis is currently looking into this for me, i get a LISTENERRFC : error.
I'm using class : cl_igs_chart_engine
to generate a chart from the IGS, this is returned to me in a MIME table format.
Now how can I use this MIME table to insert it dynamically in the SMARTFORM. I see there is provision for Dynamic determined graphics in smart forms but i don't think it can be used here.
Does anyone know how to do this ? Is there any other more effective way of inserting dynamic graphs into SAMRTFORMS
Another question is class : cl_igs_chart_engine, how can you create a line graph instead of a bar graph ?
Thanks

Hi Kevin,
Dynamic graphic in samrtform is supported provided you have the BMAP ( Bitmap ) created in SAP. In the graphics node of SMARTFORM you can assign a variable &GRAPHIC& as the name. From the program pass the graphic name in variable "GRAPHIC" through samrtform interface .
The prerequisite is that the graphics should be there in SAP database at the time you call smartform .
About your other question I have no idea but I can say that if you can have a graphics created on your PC at runtime you can always upload it to SAP using report RSTXLDMC , just before calling smartform. However this would generate a lot of graphics on SAP even if it is for one time use by smartform . You will have to find a way to delete subsequently .
Cheers

How to print BAR code in SMART Form

Hi All,
I have the requirement to print BAR CODE in Smartforms.
For this, I create a character format with Bar code in style forms and create a text element in Smart form and associate bar code character format with this text element.
Now when I look the print preview for the data, then it shows me data in bar code format but not in right format i.e. its shows me all the similar block in bar code.
If you look the bar code in SAP script, its always show you bar code with similar block, but in SMART FORM it will show you exact bar code; as in SAP Script, bar code is generated at printer end and in SMARTFORM bar code is generated as graphic in SAP and then sent to printer for print.
PLease let me know, why in SMARTFORM its not showing BAR CODE in correct format in print preview.
Thanks
Piyush Mathur

Hi,
To Create a Bar code prefix:
1) Go to T-code - SPAD -> Full Administration -> Click on Device Type -> Double click the device for which you wish to create the print control -> Click on Print Control tab ->Click on change mode -> Click the plus sign to add a row or prefix say SBP99 (Prefix must start with SBP) -> save you changes , it will ask for request -> create request and save
2) Now when you go to SE73 if you enter SBP00 for you device it will add the newly created Prefix
Create a character format C1.Assign a barcode to the character format.Check the check box for the barcode.
The place where you are using the field value use like this
<C1> &itab-field& </C1>.
You will get the field value in the form of barcode.
Which barcode printer are you using ? Can you download this file and see.
http://www.servopack.de/Files/HB/ZPLcommands.pdf.
It will give an idea about barcode commands.

Detailed information about SAP Barcodes
A barcode solution consists of the following:
- a barcode printer
- a barcode reader
- a mobile data collection application/program
A barcode label is a special symbology to represent human readable information such as a material number or batch number
in machine readable format.
There are different symbologies for different applications and different industries. Luckily, you need not worry to much about that as the logistics supply chain has mostly standardized on 3 of 9 and 128 barcode symbologies - which all barcode readers support and which SAP support natively in it's printing protocols.
You can print barcodes from SAP by modifying an existing output form.
Behind every output form is a print program that collects all the data and then pass it to the form. The form contains the layout as well as the font, line and paragraph formats. These forms are designed using SAPScript (a very easy but frustratingly simplistic form format language) or SmartForms that is more of a graphical form design tool.
Barcodes are nothing more than a font definition and is part of the style sheet associated with a particular SAPScript form. The most important aspect is to place a parameter in the line of the form that points to the data element that you want to represent as barcode on the form, i.e. material number. Next you need to set the font for that parameter value to one of the supported barcode symbologies.

How to Print Digital Signature in Smart forms.

Hi Experts,
Any one please help me how to use digital signatures in SMARTFORMS.?
Which are the tables used to store digital signatures and please any one have any demo program which prints the the digital signature using smartforms kindly let me know.
Thanks,
Sunil kairam.

Hi Sunil,
After doing some research in sdn and other sources i found the following result...
Digital Signatures are nothing but graphics that we can store in SAP and use in our Smart Forms.
For Example you can create a .bmp file of your signatures, upload it via SE78, and then use it in your Smart Forms in your Footer Area as "Authorized Signatory".
The Logic in the Print Program can be something as follows -
1. Maintain a Z Table having fields like PLANT, FORMID (Name of the SmartForm), USERID.
2. Before calling the Form, the validation is made for the Logged in User with the Z Table created.
3. If the User Entry exists in the Z-Table, the Form is called and the Signature Image is displayed in the Footer Block i.e. the Authorized Signature.
4. If user entry does not exist in the Z-Table then the message is displayed "You are not the Authorized for Printing the Form" and exits the Transaction.

Issue in printing second page in smart form

in my smart form i have only FIRST page in tht i have pur order numberwindow, date window and all the item details in mainwindow. my problem is in my page 1 order number and date are getting printed at the exact position whre i want but when it is coming to the next page that is page 2 order number and date are going out of scope. I cant even change the position of those two windows as it is getting printed properly on 1st page.

Copy the first page and paste so as to create a second page, now give next page as this second page, and check, if there is any layout issue then make changes in this page, be careful as if you make any any changes, such as deleting some table or template or window in the copied [page it will get deleted in first page to, so only make changes to layout.

Regarding printing multiple PO using Smart forms

Hi Abap Gurus,
i have to print the multiple purchase order in smart form such that first purchase order number details in first page. second purchase order in second page. how can i acheive this solution. i searched in sdn but not found a proper solution.

hi,
use this function module
CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
EXPORTING
formname = 'ZTEST_SMARTFORM'
IMPORTING
fm_name = fm_name.
it passes the function module name generated....
then call that function module..
CALL FUNCTION FM_NAME

Print Vertical on a smart form

Hi All,
I want to print some dynamic text on the smart form, some part of it has to be printed vertically.
please suggest how to do that.
Thanks,
Pankaj Sharma

Hi!
The most, what Smartform can do for vertical printing (and SAPScript also) is to print like this:
H
E
L
L
O
W
O
R
L
D
Or you can scan vertical texts as an image and print them like a BITMAP.

To find out whether a print has happened in smart form.

Hi Gurus,
My requirement is as follows:
When my certificate( Smart Form) is printed i have to give a certificate Number to it and after the print is completed, i have to save that certificate number in a database table for future reference.
Are there any parameters in the smartform function module which indicate print has been completed.
If yes, which are they.? How do i go about this..?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Navin Fernandes.

Hi,
After writing the final function module of the smartform...you should check that whether the sy-subrc is 0 or not.....
if sy-subrc eq 0.
<your code to save in database>.
endif.
