SAPscript logo and HR forms

hie guys
i have succesfully uploaded a clients logo thru SE78 as a bit map image however wen i print the form the logo appears to have tiny dots around it. is it because i uploaded the image as a colour image and im printing on a B&W printer?
Secondly the page footers for most of the forms are not showing the clients directors and i have been tasked to find out where i can maintain them, i would like to know where!
lastly could anyone give me some materials to help me out for the HR forms and SAPscripts in general as well??
Many thanx in advance
Prince

Hi
Check the printer also for the wrong printing of LOGO because certain printers will not print the logo correctly.

Search for texts and logos in smart forms

Hi there,
Does anyone know if there is a function module that can search for specific texts and logos in smart forms?
Any response would be really appreciated.
Thanks
HW

Hi
I really doubt if there is any FM like that. But, you can always search the existing logos in the Appln Server, the tcode is SE78.

SAPscript and Smart Forms - Going to be phased out?

Thus far, are SAPscript and/or Smart Forms going to eventually be retired? Is there an official document, or Note that says so? I've exhaustively searched through these forums, and the SMP for the PAM and Notes, but I can't find a reference anywhere that will tell me.
I did find where it says:
"Customers can continue to use existing SAP forms solutions such as Smart Forms and SAPscript.
Both solutions will continue to be supported in their current functional scope."
Just want to make sure with my clients.
Thanks!

Hello,
We recently rolled out an SAP's Strategy as far as forms development is concerned.
Here is the official statement:
"The SAP forms strategy is based on SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe (IFbA). This applies to both print and interactive forms. In this context, most Business Suite solutions have already been converted to the IFbA technology (more than 2300 forms), and new standard SAP forms will be created using IFbA instead of Smart Forms or SAPscript.
SAPscript and Smart Forms shall continue to be supported inline with SAP's maintenance strategy, thereby ensuring the ability to protect existing customer investment."
You can also find this on the Smart Forms page in SDN: Smart Forms Overview

How to include logos in pdf forms??

hi all,
i am working with the pdf forms for the first time and dont yet kno the tricks of trade
can ne1 tell me how do i include graphic logo in the form?? here, i am referring to the logos we can access by TXN SE78 (the ones we use while working with SAPscripts and smartforms)
thanks to all...

Hi,
some pointers -
If it is a static logo, you can directly paste it. or else, you can give the link in the object pallette, or to my knowledge, there is an option in the context tab of the SFP transaction to bind an image to one ofthe fields to store the link.
Hope these may help.
Do update.
Thanks and Regards,
Anto.

Sapscript Logo upside down with reverse color

Hello experts,
In ECC6, my colleage and I tested a sapscript logo on the same black&white printer. However, the printouts came out differently. My laptop produced a correct logo, but my colleage's one produced an upside down logo with reverse color. This is the statement we used in the form. Do you know if we miss something to check for? Please help!
INCLUDE ZHEX-MACRO-BELLLOGO2C OBJECT TEXT ID ST
Best regards,
Chuong

Hi ,
First go to se78 and check the uploaded logo in the print previw. If it is fine then instead of defining the incluide statement manually
open the window where you want to include the logo then select the path include ->Graphics then select your logo
If logo appears in the upside down then the problem is in uploading.

Module Pool and Smart Form

Can anybody Provide me good step by step procedure for module pool and smart for programming with screenshot.
my email Id is [email protected]

Hi,
A module pool is a collection of screens, flow logic, menu bars and ABAP code that you use to build an application. Typically the transaction code that calls the application will refer to the module pool and the initial screen number.
-->What are the requirements a dialog program must fulfill ?
A dialog program must fulfill the following requirements
. a user friendly user interface
. format and consistency checks for the data entered by the user
. easy correction of input errors
. access to data by storing it in the database.
What are the basic components of dialog program ?
Screens (Dynpros)
Each dialog in an SAP system is controlled by dynpros. A Dynpro consists of a screen and its flow logic and controls exactly one dialog step.
ABAP/4 module pool
Each dynpro refers to exactly one ABAP/4 dialog program. Such a dialog program is also called a module pool, since it consists of interactive modules.
What is a dynpro ? What are its components ?
A dynpro (DYnamic PROgram) consists of a screen and its flow logic and controls exactly
one dialog step.
- The different components of the dynpro are:
Flow logic: Calls of the ABAP/4 modules for a screen
Screen layout: Positions of the texts, fields, pushbuttons, and so on for a screen
Screen attributes: Number of the screen, number of the subsequent screen, and others
Field attributes: Definition of the attributes of the individual fields on a screen
What is screen flow logic? What are the selections in it? Explain PAI and PBO?
Ans - Screen flow logic contains the procedural part of a screen. The screen flow logic is like an ABAP program in that it serves as a container for processing blocks. There are four event blocks, each of which is introduced with the screen keyword PROCESS:
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
PROCESS ON HELP-REQUEST.
PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST.
Selections are performed in PAI.
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT (PBO) is automatically triggered after the PAI processing of the previous screen and before the current screen is displayed. You can program the PBO processing of the screen in this block. At the end of the PBO processing, the screen is displayed.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT (PAI) is triggered when the user chooses a function on the screen. You can program the PAI processing of the screen in this block. At the end of the PAI.
processing, the system either calls the next screen or carries on processing at the point from which the screen was called.
PROCESS ON HELP-REQUEST (POH) and PROCESS ON VALUE-REQUEST (POV) are triggered when the user requests field help (F1) or possible values help (F4) respectively. You can program the appropriate coding in the corresponding event blocks. At the end of processing, the system carries on processing the current screen.
step by step process of dialog programing:
Firstly, you can go to Tcode SE80 and here create a package.
On that package name right click and select program.
Then choose program type modulepool program.
Similarly, you can create screen and then select layout and drag and drop labels and pushbuttons as per your requirements.. Then double click on th push buttons.You will see property window and there we will find FCTCODE and there type the names e.g suppose you want to
display then typy on the fctcode Display or any name as you wish.
After that save and activate it. and then close the window.
And then go back to the intial screen .
And then click Flow logic button and then uncomment the statement
module status_1000 PBO block and then doible click on status_1000
save and activate and then go back and then PAI block uncomment the statement module status_1000 and the dobule click on status_1000.
step by step process of creating smartforms:
1.        What is Smartforms?
Smartforms is a tool to create and maintain forms for mass printing in SAP Systems. Just like sapscripts, for Smart
forms print program is used to create the output internal table which in turn is thrown to the smart form where the
field values are displayed. The output medium for Smartforms support printer, fax, e-mail, or the Internet.
Transaction Code: SMARTFORMS
To print a form the program for the data retrieval and a Smartform that contains the entire form logic is required. As
these two are separate one should adapt the Smartform if changes to the form logic are necessary. The application
program passes the data via a function module interface to the Smartform. When activating the Smartform the system
automatically generates the function module.
The architecture of the smart form is given below:
Creating Forms Using SAP Smart Forms
When creating a form one must:
1.      Retrieve the application data
2.      Describe the form
3.      Pass the application data to the form
Example: Create Smartform for printing Purchase order.
Retrieving the application data (Purchase Order information):
Write an ABAP program (Print Program) to retrieve data or include a retrieval routine into the application. This
code consists of statements that select data from databases according to certain selection criteria. Store the
retrieved data in internal tables, structures or variables and transfer it to the form in one step.
SAP has already provided with the Print Program (/SMB40/FM06P) for Purchase Order. Based on the business
requirement, this Print Program can be copied and modified to get the required data and transfer to Smartform.
Describing the Form:
The user defines the form using a Smartform. Use the tools of the form builder as listed below:
1.        Use the form painter to position the windows, graphics and addresses on a page.
2.        Use the PC editor to write the texts.
3.        Use the table painter to format the tables.
The flow control is used to print the pages and elements.
Form Logic (Introduction)
In the form builder one can describe a Smartform by a set of nodes. To do this, one can build up a tree structure on
the left side of the user interface.
The node global settings and its three successors form attributes, form interface and global definitions always exists
for any newly created forms.
To describe the form logic, create the hierarchy under the node pages and windows.
The following rules apply to control the flow of the form output.
1.        The nodes in the tree structure are processed from top to bottom.
2.        For each node there is a tab, this can be used to link the node to a condition. If the condition is true, the
system processes the node. If not, it skips the node and all its successors.
3.        One should define a next page for each page.
The SAP form builder of the smart form consists of:
1.        Form painter for creating the layout of the form
2.        PC Editor for entering texts and fields into output areas
3.        Navigation tree for maintaining the form logic
4.        Table painter for creating templates and tables
To define the text formats, one can use the Smart Styles.
Style builder:
On the left of the style builder screen consists of the predetermined nodes (header data, folder for paragraph
formats, and folder for character formats).
On the right one can see the maintenance screen with its tab pages. At the bottom the preview of the selected font
can be viewed.
Create Purchase Order Smartform
Create a Smartform, copy the existing SAP provided purchase order Smartform to ZSFM_PURCHASEORDER for
customizing as per business requirement.
1. Form Settings under Global Settings node, set the parameters in Output Option:
Page Format: Letter
Character per Inch: 20
Line per Inch: 6
Style: ZSTM_SMB40_SF
Output Format: Standard Output
2.        Form Interface
We can add parameters in the Import Parameters and tables in Tables tab of the form interface for the application
data to be available for the Smartform to print.
3. In Global definition we can define the all the global variables which can be used in Smartforms. Initialization
can be used for initializing the variables and even for retrieving the data.
Creating pages:
Each form consists of one or more pages. The first page in the tree structure is the start page and the
processing of the form starts with this page itself.
1.        Open the context menu for existing page node and choose create®page
2.        Enter a unique name (FIRST) for the node and a description (Page)
3.        Determine the format (1, 2, 3...)and the mode of the page counter (Increase counter) on the general
attributes tab
4.        Determine the print attributes (Portrait Format) of the page on the output options
5.        Determine a background graphic for the entire page on the background tab (Not used in PO).
Creating windows:
The size and position of the window can be graphically set in the form painter. There are main windows and
secondary windows. The difference between these two is that the output in a main window can cover several
pages.
1.        Open the context menu for an existing page node and choose®window
2.        Enter a name for the node (NAMEFORM) and a description (Title Window).
3.        On the general attributes indicate type of window. NAMEFORM is secondary window.
In similar fashion all the other windows are created and positioned as per the form design. Only one MAIN
window is created, it is used for line items which can cover several pages.
Positioning texts on the form
The texts are displayed in the form using text nodes. The only exceptions are addresses.
The predecessor node of the text node determines its use:
Predecessor node        Used to
Secondary window        Position text on one or more pages
Main window        Display text in relation to other nodes in the main window, it may cover several pages
Template         Displays texts for table cells of a static table
Table        Display table contents
There are three text types:
1.        Text element : to enter new text in the PC editor
2.        Text module : to include a text module
3.        Include text : to include an existing SAPscript text
Entering texts in PC editor: (TITLE)
·        To create a text node call the context menu for that node in the tree structure that should receive the
text, then choose->text
·        Enter a unique name (TITLE) for the node and the node description (TITLE)
·        On the general attributes tab choose text element as text type
·        In the text node box choose whether the text should be started with a new paragraph or only in a new
line
·        Enter the text in the PC editor. Text could be a program element like &Title& or Purchase Order. &Title&
is a variable for which the value is assigned in Program line before the text.
Including text modules: (TERMSCONDITION)
Text module of the text node is used to refer to an existing text module in the system. The text modules can be
used in two ways:
·        To create a text node, call the context menu for that node in the tree structure that shall contain the text
and choose create->text under the window TERMSCONDITION.
·        Enter a unique name for the node (TERMSCONDITION) and a description (Terms and Condition)
·        On the general attributes tab select the text type text module
·        Enter the name of the text module in the text name field (&G_TERMS_TEXT&). &G_TERMS_TEXT& is
used to determine the Text name dynamically in the program lines preceding the text module node.
·        Program Lines: GETTERMSCONDITION
Concatenate 'ZTMM_PO_TERMS_' ZXEKKO-BUKRS
                                  INTO G_TERMS_TEXT.
Including SAPscript texts: (HD_TXT_F01 Order Header Text)
The text type include text node to refer to a SAPscript text, which already exists in the system. To identify the
text the text name, object, id and the language is needed.
·        To create the text node, call the context menu for that node in the tree structure that shall receive the
text and choose create -> text under the main window.
·        Enter a unique name (HD_TXT_F01) for the node and the node description (Order Header Text).
·        On the general attributes tab choose include text as text type
·        Text Name - &ZEKKO-EBELN&, Text Object EKKO, Text ID F01, Language - &SY-LANGU&. Also check
mark No error if no text exists.
Tip: Since the size of text is not known, its better to have the text in MAIN window, so that it can run to more
than one page if required.
Inserting addresses: (SENDER):
Address node is used to insert an address into the form. This guarantees that the address is formatted
according to the postal rules of the sender country.
·        To create an address node , call the context menu for that node in the tree structure that one wants to
contain the text and choose create->Address
·        Enter a name for the node (COMPANY_CODE_ADDRESS) and a description (Company Code Address)
·        Determine the address type (Organization Address) on the general attributes tab
·        For organizational addresses - specify the address number, for any other - specify the person number
and the address number. In this case we get the company code address into variable &ADDNR&, so we need
program lines (SENDER) preceding the address text.
·        In the box additional addresses, attributes to specify how to display the address are maintained.
Printing graphics: (LOGO):
Tcode SE78 is used to import graphics into the SAP system. The transaction imports the graphics and stores it
in the BDS (business transaction server) and then it can be displayed in the form.
·        To create the graphic node , call the context menu for that node in the tree structure and choose create-
>graphic
·        Enter a name (LOGO) for the node and the description (Logo Graphic)
·        On the general attributes determine whether a colored or a black and white
·        On General Attributes use the fields object - GRPAHIC, id BMAP and name - &G_LOGO& to identify the
graphic. &G_LOGO& is variable and therefore we can print company code specific logo. Program line preceding
the graphic is required.
·        Program line COMP_LOGO is used to assign the value to G_LOGO. Concatenate 'ZCOMPANY_LOGO_'
ZXEKKO-BUKRS INTO G_LOGO. So, the name of graphic for example will be ZCOMPANY_LOGO_0202 for
company code 0202.
Displaying a static table (Window INFO, Template - TEM_INFO)
Use node type template to display a table whose layout and size is determined before the runtime of the print
program.
To create a template, define a table layout to determine the cell structure for each line. The cells are used to
display the cell structure for each line. The cells are used to display the contents of the successor nodes of the
template node.
·        Create Template under the INFO window node. Create > Template.
The template layout is used to determine the following,
1.        The number of lines and cells
2.        The height of each cell
3.        The width of each cell
4.        The alignment of the table in the window
5.        Whether and where to display separator lines or frames
Use the table control on the template tab to define the layout of the lines. Each line of the template must have
a definition.
Use the pattern box to select the desired table pattern.
Displaying contents in cells: (TLE_CONTACT)
The template node defines the table layout. The successor nodes of the template         determine the data to be
displayed in the table cells.
In General Attributes choose Text type Text Element. In editor, type DTE         Contact.
In Output Options, define the output structure LINE 5 and Column 1.
Similarly all other information for each cell can be filed using the text module and         address module.
Displaying Dynamic Table (ITEM_TABLE)
·        Create TABLE under the MAIN window node. In DATA Tab, loop through the data internal table.
L_XEKPO is the item table which has all the line item details.
Define the line types based on the positioning of the text in main window. For         example: TABLE_HEADER1
is used for positioning Header texts in the table.
·        Table is divided into three parts: Header, Main Area and Footer.
·        Header is used for printing the Header Title of the table and it at the start of the table on every page.
·         Main Area is used to print the line item details of the PO. Create a line (ITEM_DETAIL) of the line type
TABLE_HEADER1. It will dynamically generate number cells based on the line type defined in the table layout.
Name all the cells as per the usage. For each cell create the text node to display the information. For example:
Cell VAL_MATERIAL, Text node MATNR is created which has text element - -matnr.
·        Footer is used for printing the information after Main Area data is printed. This can be used for Total
printing or any other information which needs to be printed after all line items are printed. Create line
TLE_CONTR_STP for Contractual Stipulation of the line type LINE which has only one column. Create the
text element to print the information.
Special Requirement: Printing the Acknowledgement text if the order value is greater then USD 50,000.00 on
the second copy only.
·        This requirement needs the modification in the print program and the Smartform.
·        Modification in Print Program to trigger the second copy if the order value is greater then 50K. Its
advisable to copy the standard print program to custom Z program (Z_SMB40_FM06P), and changes should
be made to Z program. Number of copies is passed from NAST to ls_composer_param-tdcopies in Smartforms.
The value ls_composer_param-tdcopies is modified in the print program to 2 if the order value is greater then
50K.
·        The printing of Acknowledgement Text only on second copy is achieved using the COPIES WINDOW in
Smartforms. Define Window ACKN_COPY of the type COPIES WINDOW and Output to Only Copies Copies
Differ. Also set the condition in the Condition Tab of the window SFSY-JOBPAGES = 1, so that it only print
on the first page of the copy.
·        If user selects to print 2 copies and the order value is more then 50k, program needs to print 2 sets
meaning 4 copies. So number of copies is taken care of in Print program but again the printing of
Acknowledgement Text should be only the Even number copy meaning Copy# 2 and 4. This achieved by using
the program lines to determine the even copy. SFSY-COPYCOUNT will tell us the current copy number being
printed.

vineela.

What is the diff b\w open form and start form in scripts.

Hi,
can any one tell me what is the diff andb\w open form and start form in scripts.when we should use open form and when start form.

Hi Friend.
I have understood some usefull information and would like to share with you.
Within one transaction, you can open and close several layout sets using OPEN_FORM and
CLOSE_FORM, however not simultaneously. You can use parameters in the OPEN_FORM to control
whether the output is stored in the same print request. But also the SAP spool decides,
depending on several plausibility checks, whether new output is appended to an existing
print request or whether to create a new print request anyway.
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
You cannot combine ABAP/4 list output and SAPscript output in one print request.
START A LAYOUT SET AGAIN
Usually a print program does not print only one urging letter or one account statement, but
several layout sets for different customers. To have the output for each customer begin with
the start page of the layout set, you must start the current layout set again and again.
To start a layout set again, you must first end the current layout set and then open the
layout set again. Within one print request, first call the function module END_FORM. It
executes the final processing for the current layout set. Then start the layout set again
using START_FORM. Output then begins again on the start page of the desired layout set.
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'

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.

@ Anurag_N: This is not ALV, but SAP SCRIPT report.
Hello,
This standard report is using form F130_CONFIRM_01 for the printing purpose.
Please check in this form, how you can handle ur logo.
R u doing any config for printing this report for the form etc?
This text is coming from the window ADDRESS and the below inlude:
INCLUDE &T001G-TXTAB& OBJECT TEXT ID ADRS LANGUAGE &T001-SPRAS&, where &T001G-TXTAB& for me is coming as
ADRS_SENDER.
So, just add ur logo in the standard text ADRS_SENDER in SO10, you will c it in the sap script layout.
But, i am not sure how this variable &T001G-TXTAB& gets populated and if it will get changed for soem other value.

List of script and smart forms(except TNAPR) with output type or print prog

How to find out List of SAP SCRIPT and SMART FORMS (except TNAPR)with output type or print program..I like to chk in output type WMTA whch form should use.kindly help on this

Hi
WMTA is special msg and doesn't create any print: so you can't find a sapscript or smartform to link to it.
WMTA is a message for delivery, so you can find it by NACE trx or TNAPR table (It's the same): infact here it can find only all messages of logistic modules (SD & MM).
The routine ENTRY of RLAUTA20 is called by WMTA and creates a Transfer Order (for WM, Warehouse Management, module), so if you need to create a print for that msg you need to change prg RLAUTA20,

How to customize F140_ACC_STAT_01 to change ides logo and footer.

Hi Experts,
I want to customize form F140_ACC_STAT_01 to change default logo (ides logo) and default footer coming on the standard account statement we generate using Tcode F.27. In this regard I have copied form F140_ACC_STAT_01 to ZF140_ACC_STAT01 from client 000 using Tcode SE71 but after that I am not getting any idea how to customize it. Please help me in this regard. Please provide some steps how to customize it and how to attach the new z* form with driver program RFKORD10 or study material will also be appreciated.
Regards
Sameer

First is look in the sap script for the place where this logo and footer are displayed change it. For attaching your custom script check tcode OB77 and OB78 for the same. These transactions use concepts ofcorrespodnence type

Logo in PDF form

Hi all,
We have a requirement to change LOGO in PDF form . If we create a image field and then drag and drop a logo there.After binding we are able to see Logo in PDF Preview. But when we are executing PDF form , logo is not coming.
Moreever when we are clicking on URL ,its giving some standard url which we are not able to edit.
Any pointers to this will be helpful or some other solution of getting the logo in image field .
Thanks and Regards,

Hi,
In PDF, there are three ways of using a Graphic -
1.     through context using graphic reference
2.     through context using content
3.     In layout by copy and paste.
     Graphic content can be added to the form by adding the graphics in the transaction SE78 (also using the programme RSTXLDMC). You store that in a variable and have that variable here.
Graphics can also be uploaded through MIME repository.
Thanks and Regards,
