SAP Script,Smartforms,Adobe Forms

Hi SDN Friends!
I had this question.
Given a SAP Script or SMART Form ... how do we identify (table names?)
The Print program associated with them? Also, how does that concept differ from PDF forms?
Any body can answer please........
Regards,
Markiv.C

Hi
In any Orgn in real time in SAP we use Sap scripts or Smartforms for sending Outgoing documents like Sales,Pur order to customer or vendor.
So these are assigned with an Output type, Medium, Print program
These settings are configured first in Application document and in NACE Tcode
accordingly an Entry is saved in NAST table and TNAPR tables
so from these 2 tables we will come to know the form/sf name, print program and Output type and Medium etc

Migrating SAP Scripts to Adobe Forms

Hi All,
   We are going for a new Rollout in US based on our European implementation in 2001 which was on
   4.6b. Eventually this system was upgrated to ECC 6.0 recently however all the outputs are still using
   SAP Scripts.
   For the new Rollout in the US, we are planning to migrate all these outputs to Adobe Forms. Does
   anyone know if there is an easy way to migrate Scripts to Adobe Forms or else the migration is more
   or less like fresh development.
   Please share your experiences/knowledge if anyone has worked similarly. Thank you all.

Vamsee

Hi,
migration from script to adobe is a big problem.
dont go for that.
many problems will come after migration, the time to take rectification is more than the development directly.
Thank U

Script, , smartforms , adobe forms

hi friends,
 i know about script and smartforms,
 can you clearly tell about adobe forms(pdf)
 what, where , why ?
thanks

Hi,
t.code SFP.
definition:
Interactive Forms based on Adobe software is SAP's new solution for forms development. Its first release has the focus on interactive use of forms. High-volume printing is supported in principle, but - being a new solution - the performance has not yet reached the same level as Smart Forms or SAPscript, two established solutions that had years to grow. Interactive Forms is the only solution that will continue to be enhanced with new features, while SAPscript and Smart Forms will be supported without limitations.
When (or if) to move to Interactive Forms depends on your requirements. For interactive forms usage, i.e. the new functions, you have no choice, as the existing solutions don't support it. High-volume print scenarios need to be carefully analyzed to see whether your concrete requirements can be met at this point.
However, it is possible to move to Smart Forms and design your forms in such a way that a migration at any point in the future would be but a small step. Smart Forms offers from Web AS 6.40 a migration wizard to Interactive Forms. Technically, everything can be migrated, but we recommend against things like ABAP program nodes, for example.
You are not forced to ever go to Interactive Forms if you don't want to. It really depends on whether your client needs any of the new features in Interactive Forms. Also, if they are currently working with JetForms, they could enquire with Adobe directly what migration path they offer to the joint solution.

example
To get an overview idea about Adobe forms ,
Using SFP , first you need to create a interface . in interface you can declare the import and export parameters and also the declaration part, coding etc : This is nothing but similar to Function module interface.
And now we have to create the Form which is interactive. Create the form and enter the interface name which you have created in first step, so that the parameters , declarations of fields etc : will be copied and available in the form layout. So that you can drag and drop these declared fields ( dclared fields of interface ) to the layout.
Create the context and layout in the form.
The layout generated can be previewed and saved as PDF output.
Now we need to integrate the driver program and the PDF form to get the final output as per the requirement.
On activating and executing the form you will get a function module name just similar to smartforms.
The driver program needs to call this FM.
Refer to the below sample code :
DATA : is_customer TYPE scustom.
DATA : it_bookings TYPE ty_bookings.
DATA : iv_image_url TYPE string.
DATA : iv_sending_country TYPE adrc-country.
DATA : it_sums TYPE TABLE OF flprice_t.
DATA : docparams TYPE sfpdocparams.
DATA : formoutput TYPE fpformoutput.
DATA : outputparams TYPE sfpoutputparams.
PARAMETERS : pa_cusid TYPE scustom-id.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM scustom INTO is_customer
WHERE id = pa_cusid.
SELECT * FROM sbook
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE it_bookings
WHERE customid = pa_cusid.

Converting HR Form(pe51) into sap script/smartform

I have an HR form created in PE51 - how do I convert this into a sap script/smartforms? I would like to put our company logo on the form...
Thanks - Janet

Well i once found these two Notes:
701887 and 309204
It is talking about PE51 and some interaction with smartforms and a couple of Function modules.
Following objects are created in release 4.6B and delivered from releases upwards via this note :
Function group HR99S00_SMARTFORM
Function module HR_99S_CONV_PRIPARMS_TO_SSFCOMPOP converts printing parameters from format PRIPARMS to Smartform format SSFCOMPOP.
Function module HR_99S_CONV_SFERROR_TO_HRERROR converts and integrates Smartform error table to an HR error table.
It looks like it is possible to produce a smartform payslip. What I could not find is how to do it.

What is the diff b/w Sap Scripts and Smart Forms

Hi,
Whats the diff b/w SAP Scripts and Smart Forms..
I need the internal explanation for both Smart Forms and SAP Scripts mean when we execute what happens whether Print Program r Forms starts execution 1st and SIMILARLY FOR SMARTFORMS WHETHER FM'S R FORMS.
Thanks & Regards,
Gopi.

Hi
Difference with SMARTFORMS vs. SapScript(SE71)
The Following are the differences :-
a) Multiple page formats are possible in smartforms which is not the case in SAPScripts
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.
f) 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 and save it in the hard disk.
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.

Advantage of SAP Script over Smart forms

Hi Friends,

It is possible to have a smartform without a main window
Labels cannot be created in smartforms.
Routines can be written in smartforms tool.
Smartforms generates a function module when activated

Smart Forms                                           SAP Scripts
1)Form, Text Module, Styles are          Form, So10 are
client independent                             client dependent
2)In a form diff pages can have         In a form all pages should
different page formats                      follow one page format
3)Back ground picture is possible     Not Possible
4)Maintenance cost is low                Heavy
5)Web publishing is possible             Not Possible
using XML

How to print " Duplicate " in FORM ( either Sap Script or Smart Forms )

hi,
How to print " Duplicate " in FORM ( either Sap Script or Smart Forms ) if trying to take second Print Out and the FORM is already Printed.
Please let me know the condition that we should go for.If possible let me know the SAMPLE code since this will be used in most of the FORMS.
Regards
Avi

Hi
It depends on which print you're working.
If it's a print of standard document you can check the NAST (VSTAT field) table in order to know if the document was printed.
If a message is created you can find the hit in NAST table:
VSTAT = 0, document not printed;
VSTAT = 1, documment printed
VSTAT = 2, print is failed
If you mean a custom print I believe you need to create a log like NAST table.

INBOUND MAIL PROCESSING in SAP for Offline ADOBE FORM Concept

Hi to all,
Please can anyone tell me, what INBOUND MAIL PROCESSING in SAP for Offline ADOBE FORM?
What is concept and how to use it, is any program need to write for that or only need to configure it.
I have searched the SDN, but only get topic how to configure inbound mail processing.
I am new to this area; please any one put some light on it.
I shall be thankful to you for this.
Regards
Pavneet Rana

Hi Pavneet,
Inbound processing of an offline adobe form consists of several things -
a) an email id to be created on the server (to accept the mail & process the adobe form - this needs to have the right roles)
b) the smtp config needs to be done by basis
c) the abap developer needs to create a handler class that gets called when an email is recd in SAP. This handler class has 3-4 methods (first to read the mail and extract the pdf, convert data in pdf to the abap variable, process the form to do the specific function in sap (which will vary from requirement to another).
I found this blog very useful when I was getting my adobe form done -
/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2004/09/09/receiving-e-mail-and-processing-it-with-abap--version-610-and-higher
Hope this helps.

Condition verification in java script on Adobe form.

Hello Experts,
I am using a interactive forma text element on my view. (java web dynpro)
It's a simple application. I am trying to figure out how it works with java script.
I have a text field. which displays employ is sales or production dept
the values in the data view and its the output element of a BAPI which returns XF,TF,HF and XK,JK,HK
(record.dept)
if its XF, TF, HF on the text field in the adobe form should print sales else production.
I have never used java script on adobe form.
I figured the strip above the form in adobe designer is used for java script.
can any one, let me know how I can manipulate. the record value
Here is what I am trying record.dept = XF |TF|JF . but i dont know how to run the java script or its syntax.
Your help is highly appreciated.

James,
xfa.host.messageBox should show you an alert dialog box to check data you are getting.
And yes you are right. You can set the value of textfield using code you mentioned.
if(record.dept.equalsIgnoreCase("XF")
 || record.dept.equalsIgnoreCase("TF")
 record.dept.equalsIgnoreCase("JF"))
 xfa.host.messageBox("The value is Sales");
 <Text-field id>.value = "Sales";
else
 xfa.host.messageBox("The value is Production");
<Text-field id>.value = "Production";
You can even set the texfields to be readOnly, hide some of them etc. But for that I would suggest you going thru the LiveDesigner help. It would solve most of your doubts :-).

Formatted text and smartforms/Adobe forms

Hello all,
can anybody please tell me if there is a way to display formatted text that was edited with FormattedTextEdit (or is there any other ui element that allows me to format text?) in smartforms/adobe forms with all formats? Also, is it possible to display graphics in the smartforms/adobe forms that was prior uploaded to the application server?
Thanks and regards, Oliver

Hi Raja,
I implenented SAVE_TEXT AND READ_TEXT like you advised but the smartforms still doesn't show the text formats edited via BTF editor. I even tried to convert it to ITF using "CONVERT_STREAM_TO_ITF_TEXT" but it wouldn't help either. For example the text
<HTML><HEAD></HEAD> <BODY> This is a test text in Times New Roman This is a test text in Arial This is a test text in Arial and bold</BODY></HTML>
would exactly appear in this manner (using text element in smartforms) and not formatted. Do you any other ideas solving this issue?
Thanks and regards, Oliver
