SAP Smart Forms: Drag & Drop of fields into editor not possible
Hi Guys,
In the SAP Form Builder I can't move elements out of the field list into my editor by using drag & drop. Or I'm doing something wrong, no idea.
It seems like to drag them is possible, but it's not possible to drop them. I can edit them manually, but that's a little circular.
I know that's not a big problem, but I think the solution is very complex (I hope so).
Hope you can help,
best regards,
tannat
Thank you for this hint.
Any idea which SP Level I have to reach?
Currently there's SAP Basis Release 700, Level 16 installed.
Regards,
Tannat

SAP Smartforms can be used for creating and maintaining forms for mass printing in SAP Systems. The output medium for Smartforms support printer, fax, e-mail, or the Internet (by using the generated XML output).
According to SAP, you need neither have any programming knowledge nor use a Script language to adapt standard forms. However, basic ABAP programming skills are required only in special cases (for example, to call a function module you created or for complex and extensive conditions).
1. Create a new smartforms
Transaction code SMARTFORMS
Create new smartforms call ZSMART
2. Define looping process for internal table
Pages and windows
First Page -> Header Window (Cursor at First Page then click Edit -> Node -> Create)
Here, you can specify your title and page numbering
&SFSY-PAGE& (Page 1) of &SFSY-FORMPAGES(Z4.0)& (Total Page)
Main windows -> TABLE -> DATA
In the Loop section, tick Internal table and fill in
ITAB1 (table in ABAP SMARTFORM calling function) INTO ITAB2
3. Define table in smartforms
Global settings :
Form interface
Variable name Type assignment Reference type
ITAB1 TYPE Table Structure
Global definitions
Variable name Type assignment Reference type
ITAB2 TYPE Table Structure
4. To display the data in the form
Make used of the Table Painter and declare the Line Type in Tabstrips Table
e.g. HD_GEN for printing header details,
IT_GEN for printing data details.
You have to specify the Line Type in your Text elements in the Tabstrips Output options.
Tick the New Line and specify the Line Type for outputting the data.
Declare your output fields in Text elements
Tabstrips - Output Options
For different fonts use this Style : IDWTCERTSTYLE
For Quantity or Amout you can used this variable &GS_ITAB-AMOUNT(12.2)&
5. Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program
REPORT ZSMARTFORM.
Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program.
Collecting all the table data in your program, and pass once to SMARTFORMS
SMARTFORMS
Declare your table type in :-
Global Settings -> Form Interface
Global Definintions -> Global Data
Main Window -> Table -> DATA

Additional Fonts for your SMARTFORMS
You can create additional fonts and style with transaction SMARTSTYLES
This can then be define in the paragraph and character formats, which you can then be assign to texts and fields in the Smart Form.
The character formats includes effects such as superscript, subscript, barcode and font attributes. -
I am currently using FormsCentral to distribute a form created in Acrobat. I need to add an option to one of the drop down fields but do not want to re-distribute the form due to reporting purposes. How can I do this?
You can open the form in Acrobat, select "File > Save a Copy", open the copy you just saved (it doesn't happen automatically), edit the dropdown to add the new item, save as a new file, and then Reader-enable the file by selecting: File > Save As Other > Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools. The resulting PDF should work with FormsCentral just like the original.

Use of SAP Smart Forms - Text Modules
Hi!
One or two questions regarding the SAP Smart Forms text modules.
First: In which table the text name is saved? Is there something like the STXH table for SapScript Objects?
Second: Is it possible to use SmartForm text modules in the text determination for SD (Invoice e.g.)?
I´m looking forward for many answers
Greetings
MarkHi,
From STXL table u can get the text object, id n name pertaining to a text .These things put in FM 'READ_TEXT'. u get the long text...
Instead in smartforms, u can directly include texts using Create-Text, Type Include text...enter the id, name ,lang and object....
Also, for text names, objects and ID..u go to the place where long text has been entered, enter the sapscript editor from there, goto Header...u ll get all the detaails..
hope it helps,

SAP Interactive Forms and SAP Smart Forms for Human Capital Management
Hi gurus,
pls help me understand what are SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe and SAP Smart Forms for Human Capital Management (HCM)?
regds
jackread here
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/SAPInteractiveFormsbyAdobe#SAPInteractiveFormsbyAdobe-WhatarethedifferencesbetweenSmartFormsandAdobeForms%3F
What are the differences between Smart Forms and Adobe Forms?
For both of them, SAP dynamically creates a function module that must be called from an ABAP program to generate the form
In Smart Forms, it is possible to add ABAP code during generation of the form, that is not possible with Adobe Forms
It is possible to add javascript or FormCalc code in Adobe Forms, which is executed during the generation of the form

BP new field update is not possible
Hi Experts,
I work in CRM 4.0 which is connected to R/3. I have created a new BP field with EEWB. I would like to replicate this field into a standard R/3 field.
Without any enhancement the new field is replicated in "Insert" mode but in "Update" the replication does not work.
I discovered two problems in R/3. The exchange structure does not contain the new field and the BP does not exist in R/3 BUT000 after creation.
In "Update" mode the system searches for BP in R/3 BUT000.
Finally I extended the exchange structure in R/3 and if I create a new BP it will be created in R/3 even in R/3 BUT000 and during "Update" the new field value will be updated.
My only problem is that I have 100.000 BP's in the systems which were created without the enhanced R/3 structure and the update of the new field content is not possible. The R/3 BUT000 does not contains these 100.000 BP's.
Do you have any idea how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance!

1 How to manipulate Bapi to load it. Please select your Bapi which refer to the proper object in trx CODE Bapi. Then talk to your developper to create the right program to load the missing data, supposedly able to manage files (better a txt file).
Next monday if you wish I may send you documentation concerning Bapi, if you give me your e-mail
2. How to upload to your backend the changes of Bps. There is an envent you need to associate to your object Bupa in administration CONSOLE - DATA EXCHANGE. It is explained in the Best practise manual called Replication.
Please refer to my attached thread to find out the manual in the Best Practise Crm for your version:
Re: Download Conditions from R3
Then, if this doesn't work, check if the function module in charge of uploading the changes is working, by putting a Breakpoint in the FM associate to your object Bupa in Business object in administration console.

Make my field as input not possible.....
Hi all...
in module pool screen.....
How can i make one input field as "input not possible" for one perticuler condition met??
ex: iam having one input field in my screen.... so i can enter the values for it.... similer ly iam also having another one... here if i enter value in the second one and push the pushbotton to do some caluclation part.
then my first input field has to appear but in no input possible mode...
Thank you,
NaveenHi,
You said you have two fields on your screen and a pushbutton...
So You can do like this....
if sy-datar = 'X'.
loop at screen.
if screen-name eq 'FIELD1'.
screen-input = 0.
endif.
Modify screen.
Endloop.
Endif.
Or you can also do like this....
If sy-ucomm = 'PUSHBUTTON'.
loop at screen.
if screen-name eq 'FIELD1'.
screen-input = 0.
endif.
Modify screen.
Endloop.
Endif.
here PUSHBUTTON is the Fcode for the Pushbutton and FIELD1 is the screen name of the field which has to get diabled.
Reward if helpful.

Drag & Drop from Outlook into SAP BDS (sales order, deliveries, etc.)
Hello everyone,
I have some problems with Email archiving between SAP ECC 6.0 and Outlook 2007. The overall scenario should look like:
Outlook (drag&drop) --> SAP object like e. g. sales orders as Business Document --> third party archive.
The problem we are facing starts with the false or maybe non existing drag & drop function for Outlook. The direct drag&drop from Outlook only creates a textline in SAPs Business Document. There ist no problem at all if we store the Email on the hard drive in .msg format and afterwards drag&drop it to the Business Document.
Is there any way to skip the latching on the hard drive and communicate directly between SAP and Outlook? Otherwise how do you handle this problem?
Thank you.Is there no one else who got this problem?

How to print BAR CODE in SAP SMART FORMS
Hi,
I want to print inspection lot's BAR CODE in the smart form, but i dont know the way how to print this into the smartform.
if anyone have any idea, please suggest me how to print this as it is urgent for me to complete the object.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Abnish JainHello Abnish,
Welcome to SDN.
We are able to print barcodes from smartforms. Doing this way, we print barcodes on laser printers.
We are also printing from sap to zebra printers using two ways:
1. Download the data to an excel sheet, then creating a macro that opens the printer port and sending the commands to the printer through this "file". All this is done via vb script provided with excel)..
2. The second way is creating a vbscript (an ascii file from sap) with the printer commands and then runing it using ws_execute.
You need a barcode reader to read the barcodes, and this scanner acts like a keyboard, it sends the data scanned to the active field on screen. (which might be a notepad, word, excel or an input field or ... ).
From 4.6c on, you can use smartforms to print barcodes without buying any barcode.dll software nor hardware extention like Bardimm on any laser/inkjet printer (Please Note that I haven't mentioned Zebra printers here!). To do this, you have to create a smartstyle -> character format with the desired barcode font (defined within sap). Then in the smartform, create a window, put the field and associate it the character format. That's all (I mean, that's all we do at least :-). I think, you have to consider the barcode specifications before sending the barcode value to the smartform (Just an example, if you're using 3 of 9, the code should start and end with an asterisk - '*' -) We're printing an interleaved 2 out of 5 barcode in our invoices due to a legal requirement, and we did it this way.
3. If you have a barcode scanner, then you should not need reading the barcode into an ascii file to get the data read in an standard or custom screen field. You can read it directly to the field you want. (unless... you have complex data coded in the barcode - for example if you're using an ean-ucc 128 compliant code and you're sending several fields in a single code ... In this case, an interface is almost mandatory because you must interpret the data fields according to the ucc standard, split the code into several fields .... and .... pure programming logic ).
To put it clear: if you have to read, for example, a barcode that holds the legal number of an invoice using a barcode scanner and this number should be sent to migo-> bktxt then you don't need an interface. The scanner itself acts like a fast operator entering the characters using a keyboard and filling in the field.
We're reading barcodes in several places (when we finish each pallet, when we receive an invoice, and so on. Each case is a different screen. We arent using an ascii file to read these barcodes. Furthermore, we read the invoice legal number into migo bktxt field (Head Text).

kamalHi
SAP SCRIPT
To create a logo in SAP printouts just do the following
1. Save a Logo using Imaging, Paint shop Pro or Corel Draw as Tiff file.
2. Run program RSTXLDMC and enter the following parameters
Enter file name C:\COMPLOGO.TIF
UOM CM
Line width for text 132
Text name ZHEX-MACRO-COMPLOGO
Text ID ST
Text language = E
Number of Tiff gray levels (2,4,9) 2
3. Then Create a new window 'COMP' with attributes;
Window COMP description Company Logo
Left margin 7.00 CH window width 10.00 CH
Upper margin LN window height 8.00 LN
Finally in the text element, mention
/: INCLUDE 'ZHEX-MACRO-COMPLOGO' OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE 'E'.
Please note that if object name is not indicated as 'ZHEX... the logo may not be printed!
You will not be able to see the logo in a test print. The same will be printed in actual printout.

Can't drag & drop from iPhoto into iMovie 10
Am trying to add some photos from my iPhoto library into an iMovie 10 project. I access the iPhoto library and the pictures show up, but when I try to drag/drop or add to the timeline, nothing happens. The little hand shows up over the photo, and even the + sign, but when I try to move or add it, nothing happens.
And, once I select one photo, it seems stuck until I deselect all.
Dragging of clips from the event library doesn't seem to be a problem.
Any advice or help is appreciated.With a picture selected from the iPhot Library as it shows up in iMovie, if you select a photo by clicking on it once, then click the plus sign, what happens?

Backup/restore and drag/drop .emlx back into mail......
bit of a curly one,
Okay, I backed up a user's folder full of emails onto disc, so I could delete it (As it's taking up heaps on the server... they're using imap)
anyway...is there any way to drag/drop the .emlx files back into say a folder "on the mac" so that it can be visible on the hard disk in Mail?First of all, you should realize that you’ve been making backups of data stored locally on disk, not of the messages stored on the server. Hence, in general, those backups may or may not allow you to restore your mail depending on a number of things, such as the account settings and the format used by the mail client to cache messages locally (if any).
If Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Keep copies of messages for offline viewing is set to All messages and their attachments (the default setting), then Mail 2.x maintains a local copy of server-stored mailboxes using the exact same format it uses for locally stored mailboxes, except the suffix of the mailbox folder in the filesystem is .imapmbox instead of .mbox.
You cannot import *.imapmbox mailboxes directly into Mail because when you do File > Import Mailboxes and choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, Mail looks for *.mbox folders only, but if Keep copies of messages for offline viewing was indeed set to All messages and their attachments when the backup of those mailboxes was made, you can easily overcome that limitation by just changing the suffix to .mbox:
1. Copy the entire ~/Library/Mail/IMAP-username@mailserver account folder from the backup to the Desktop.
2. Change the .imapmbox suffix of the folders within the account folder on the Desktop to .mbox.
3. In Mail, do File > Import Mailboxes, choose Mail for Mac OS X as the data format, and follow the instructions to import the copy of the account folder that’s on the Desktop.
