Reg scipts n smartforms

Hi All,
Cud u pls let me know
1. the differences between scripts and smartforms..???
2. differences between standard text and text module in smartforms???
3. how do u upload graphics(logos) in smartforms?
Its really very urgent.
Thanx in Advance.

Hi,
1. The Following are the differences :-
a) Multiple page formats are possible in smartforms which is not the case in SAPScripts
(like For the same form u can have one page with Landscape orientation and 2nd page with portrait orientation which is not available with scripts...)
b) It is possible to have a smartform without a main window.
c) Labels cannot be created in smartforms.
d) Routines can be written in smartforms tool.
e) Smartforms generates a function module when activated.
( Here u need to use the function module (thats been generated when u have activated the smart form) to call the smart form in your print program )
f) Here u can give colors to windows , texts , window edges .... which is not possible with scripts !!!
g) Unlike sapscripts (RSTXSCRP), you cannot upload/download Smartform to your local harddisk.
It was said that it was provided in CRM 3.0 version, but not available in R/3. You can download smartforms into Local PC in a XML format. In the same way you can upload this XML format into Smartform. From the smartform editor itself you can call download option, if you are working in CRM 3.0 environment.
In R3 also, you can download into XML format. However, it's not sure about uploading. Refer to the program 'SF_XSF_DEMO'.
In 4.7 Enterprise, other have seen this utlity which is completey missing in 4.6c. There is functionality to downlaod a complete form or only a particular node. (Utilities -> Download form). It will create a XML file
h) The most important one is these smart forms are CLIENT INDEPENDENT
2. Text module (an encapsulated text) can be reused in several forms, whereas Standard text can be used in any form any number of times by calling its name, once it is released.
3. Use the SE78 T Code to upload graphics .
Hope this resolves your query.
Reward all the helpful answers.

Reg- windows in smartforms

Hi,
1) What is the difference between the copy and final window in smartforms?
2) What is the difference between at-selection screen output and initialization in reports?
Points will be rewarded for correct answer.
Regards
sathish

Copies window:
You use the copies window to define an output area for the print output, whose content you want to appear either only on the copy or only on the original. This allows you to flag copies as copies when the form is printed.
Final window:
You may want to display or query values on the first page that are determined only during processing. For example, you may want to name the grand total in the letter text of an invoice. However, this amount is determined only after listing all individual items. Or you may want to query on the first page within a condition the total number of pages, which the system calculates only after processing all pages.

This is used to dynamically set the screen field attributes

Reg forms and smartforms

Hi All,
I have a very basic question it's like how did the data will come to the print program of a standard form?They use any select statements inside the driver program?Usually we will trigger the form printing from transactios like VA01,VA02 and all how the data flow between transaction, print program and layout?from print program it will go using write_form fun module i think.
Thanks&Regards
Mahesh

Hi!
You're right they may use selects in the standard printer programs. However sometimes they are not using select. In the standardd transaction they put the relevant data into ABAP memeory (using EXPORT command), and in the printer program they retrieve it using the IMPORT command.
But mostly it is not important, where the data come from. You have to copy the standard printer programs and then you only have to modify a few things and not to rewrite everything.

For others, if you want to download/upload the Smartforms source, you will need the help from the Basis people. What you can do is to create a Transport and then FTP down to your local harddisk. When you need the Smartform source in another system, you have FTP up the Smartforms file back to the SAP server. Finally, the Basis team, will tp it into your system.
g) The protect and endprotect command in sapscript doesn't work with smartforms. For example on a invoice: First data of position no 80. is printed on page one, other data of position no 80 is printed on page 2. And there's nothing you can do about it. Actually, there is something you can do about it. By using a folder node and checking the 'protect' checkbox, everything in that folder will be page protected.
Hope this helps.

Reg: passing totals /subtotals of a ALV to a smartform

I have a editable ALV report which has a button to call a smartform . Once the user edits some fields I need to pass the refreshed total to the smartform. I want to know - in what structure the totals/subtotals of the ALV report are stored.

Banu,
Even if you figure out how to get the subtotals / totals from a ALV, I would still suggest you to use the features of SMART Forms to calculate the same again in the form.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/55/610e2db57911d4b62c006094192fe3/content.htm
So, that way if your form is triggered even without doing the subtotalling done by the user you are on the safer side as the form will still display what you have designed it for.

Ravi

Reg smartforms - creating a new page for each customer number

Dear friends,
This is a sample program for smartform.
Below is my coding ...
TABLES : KNA1.
SELECT-OPTIONS : S_KUNNR FOR KNA1-KUNNR.
TYPES : BEGIN OF ZFS_KNA1,
        KUNNR TYPE KNA1-KUNNR,
        NAME1 TYPE KNA1-NAME1,
        ORT01 TYPE KNA1-ORT01,
         END OF ZFS_KNA1.
DATA : ITAB TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ZFS_KNA1 INITIAL SIZE 0,
       WA TYPE ZFS_KNA1.
SELECT KUNNR NAME1 ORT01 PSTLZ LAND1 FROM KNA1 INTO TABLE ITAB WHERE KUNNR IN S_KUNNR.
Now i am having one secondary window (cusotmer number) and main window(name and city).
I am able display list of cm nos, names and city in one page.
But i want to display name, city and number of customer in one single page.
suppose 5 customer numbers are there.....then 5 seperate pages should be displayed.
pls help me.
Regards,
S. Vinod

Hi,
In your loop node... you have sort criteria....
give the fieldname of the customer number KUNNR and check the check box under the begin of sort event...
An event node is created... under that event node... create command node for triggering new page and dont forget to tick the checkbox for " not on first page" in the conditions tab....
and under that you can create text elements to display the data

Reg: Printing multiple lines of line item in a smartform?

Hi Experts,
I have a query regarding printing multliple line items in a smartform. In this form i dont have control on the font size because the client is using some generic type format to print the data in EPSON LQ 590.
Here this generic type drivers, it has his own default font.
If i print using the normal EPSON LQ 590 drivers, alignment is perfectly fine. But in generic case its totally different.
My query is in my item row there are 7 columns. If one of the column exceeds the space which i have assigned for that particular cell, it should go to next line automatically. How should i do this?
Then there should be a line space between 2 rows of data. How should i do this?
Please help me on this.
Another query is date is getting displayed as 19.07.2009, due to the space problem in that particular cell i need to display as 19.07.09. Please tell me how should i do this also?
Waiting for the reply.
Thanks and Regards,
Abdur Rafique

Use smartstyles for the same to mke sure it goes into next line. Also you can set space between 2 lrows to one line.
For the date issue..use the following piece of code...
DATA: w_date TYPE sy-datum,
w_char TYPE char8.
CONCATENATE w_date+6(2) w_date+4(2) w_date+2(2) INTO w_char SEPERATE BY '.'.

Hi
RPCEDTX0 is the standard program which takes of Remuneration Statements(payslips) for payroll. It has a include RPCEDSZ9 which can control the form routines of the form which is used as a payslip. However, the selection of form which can be used a payslip is controlled from IMG settings. You can always edit this form using a smartform if you are using SAP_PAYSLIP_US as your payslip.

Reg : continous printing in smartforms

Hi,
Am doing report for customer discount details in smartforms , if i give customer range in selection screen
i.e from 50027 to 50031.
i will have 5 customers,in which i want print each customer in seperate page continously...
Regards,
vino.

Hi Vinoth,
If your page layout is same for all the customers then its feasible to use this:
Right click >> Create>> Flow Logic >> Command .. go to page2
This u can include in the end of the first page .
but before this when u finished with printing of the first page see that u set some flag since the
COmmand node has conditions which trigger the page defined in Go To.
Hence u can print different customers in one spool request.
The other option of printing within the loop is also possible but it has one drawback.
everytime u call the function module for printing it creates new spool request,
hence if u hav 50 customers u will get 50 spool request which wight be inconvenient to handle in the long run.
Hope this helps you.
Best Regards,
Navin fernandes.

HI,
for the total it is easy.
Just calculate the total in a variable just before the table in the smartforms.
Display the total variable in the FOOTER section of the table.
To display the subtotal you will have to do i bit of workaround.
In the table create 2 LINE TYPES.
The 1st line type will have the four columns to display MATNR DESC QTY VBELN.
The 2nd line type will be of single column which will be used to display the subtotal.
In the main section of the table create 2 rows of the above line types.
In the 1st row display the MATNR DESC QTY VBELN as normal.
In the 2nd row display the subtotal.
This should be done as follows:-
Add one more column in your internal table as follows:-
MATNR DESC QTY VBELN SUBTOTAL.
Now you have to do some coding to create your internal table as follows:-
MATNR DESC QTY VBELN SUBTOTAL.
1           test     10    100001
1           test     10    100002
1           test     20    100003 40
2           test2   10    100006 10
3           test3   50    100009
3           test3   60    100010 110
This internal table should be created before displaying the table in the smartforms.
Then this internal table should be used in the smartforms.
The subtotal column should be shown in the 2nd row of the main area of the TABLES.
Also add a condition to it that it should be shown only when the column SUBTOTAL of the table contains any value.
So in this way you will be able to achieve your required output.
i hope you understand my idea.

Ankur Parab
