Text element not gettin refreshed in smart form

Hi
Text element does not get refreshed in the smart form preview.
I have a selection screen on which i have a few selection parameters and three application
toolbar buttons. "Save" , "Preview" and "Print". At the end of selection screen I have a
button "text" which when clicked takes me to the text element editor(FM 'TEXT_EDIT' )
I have to enter a project number on the selection screen, enter all other details and
then click on the "Text" button. I would then change /edit some text etc and come back
to sel screen. Now i click on preview , the smart form shows up and the text gets dispalyed
with the modified text.
I am passing the text name by appending "sometext" + project number to the TEXT_EDIT
and while eiditing and as a parameter to the smart form. In the smart form i have given the variable in the "include text".
Now Herez the problem.
I am still in selection screen and clik on the "text" button and it takes me to the
text editor. Now i add more lines, save and come back. Now i clik on preview
button and it displays the old text data.
When i come out of the transaction and renter , clik on the preview it displays data
correctly. Now if i repeat the steps
1.edit text button , add a few lines
2.preview button, shows data as entered in step 1.
3.edit text button, add few more lines
4.preview button .. the text displays is from step 1 and not 3.
I am not sure if this is lot of info for anybody to write an answer straight away but
if u need more info i can provide. I can do a read_text in the smart form but its toooooo
much of a pain for the data i need to display. million adjustments to be taken care of.
What could be the problem ? I have given all the basic settings like save parameter
in edit_text fm , checked all the print preview options in sdn.
Here are my questions
1. Why is the text element not getting refreshed.
2. After a form is displayed for preview , will it store anywhere in the buffer ? if yes
is there any method to clear it ?

Hi,
The problem is not with text elements, it might be your size of window which you are using to display the text elements. Check your window size and modify that accordingly.

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 Jain

Hello 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).

How to delete a line in smart forms

Hi all
i have data in my itab in following format
Month   1 2 3   4   5   6 7   total
nov      a   a a   a   a a a    7a

i have to print data from col month to 7 in main area of the table in smart forms but it shows the 3rd line as well(an empty extra line) . is there any way that i may be able to delete or truncate third line ? as i have to print total below some where.
Regards
Ammad

Hi Ammad
i have a solution to ur question.
well u only want to print a line in the smartform Main window table if u have data in the first field of ur internal table lets take name as T_FINAL.
So u want to print lines in Smartform if T_Final-Field1 (which for month) is not empty.
For this go to the Condition tab of the Line (ROW) inside ur MAIN AREA In TABLE which must be there in any window probably in the Main window.
Double click on the Line (ROW) in MAIN AREA, It will contain 2 tabs Output option and Condition.
Click On condition and write under FIELD NAME the field of ur internal table WA u r using in TABLE for eg T_Final-Field1 if its Internal table with header line or if u r using a separate Work area use the work area like WA_Final-FIELD1, then click on the Square button just in front of it to select an RELATIONAL OPERATOR , put there the RELATIONAL OPERATOR as "Not Equal to" and in the comparison value column write a space quoted with single quotation as ' '.
After u do this any line encountered with its first field of WA_FINAL i.e wa_final-field1as empty wont be printed.
This Reloves ur issue.

Akash Rana

Smart Form: Which Action triggered the form?

Hi all,
we are using a Smart Form that should show information depending on which action triggered it. The Smart From is called by one class that does some preparation logic (Parent CL_SF_PROCESSING_PPF, Method EXEC_SMART_FORM). This class is started by several actions.
I know I could have several classes, one per action. But in case of changes, I would have to change all classes.
Is there a way to determine in the class which action was used to call it?
Thanks for your help,
Timo

Hi,
I'm facing the same issue, for the moment the best answer is to read the value of the GUID from PARAMETER values.
DATA: para TYPE tpara-paramid VALUE 'TRIGGERGUID'.
GET PARAMETER ID para FIELD wv_ppf_guid.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE 'Parameter not found' TYPE 'I'.
ENDIF.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM ppfttrigg INTO ws_ppfttrigg
WHERE os_guid = wv_ppf_guid.
The problem is on creation mode, the guid is filled but the table is not, I'm trying to get info through class cl_manager_ppf but I haven't found yet ...

How to create a smart form using the purchase order

hi everybody............
i have created one purchase order, i want to print that PO using smartforms rather than scripts. how can i do it, can anyone help me out in solving the issue. i am using the version sap 4.7
Edited by: mhyderali on Aug 21, 2009 4:08 PM

Hi,
Before answer your question few things i would like to kno:
1. currently is there any script is printing while displaying output.
2. do u allready hae a smartform or you are going to develop a smartform.
3. if you dont have a smartform and there is a script attached then you can convert script into smartform and then you can change in the smart form accordingly.
4. after devloping a new smart form or converting script into smartform what you need to do is go to V/83 transaction give Output Type which is associated with script and Application area (for purchase order i.e. EF). then press ok screen will display here you can change the name of your form name under the form column.
6. if you dnt have the Output type then you need to create a output type for the purchase order.
Please let me know if you have still some question.
Thanks
Narendra

How to add empty rows in table in smart form

how to add empty rows in table in smart form?
plz help me regarding this
send me ur queries to [email protected]

You will need to add some extra rows to the internal table that your table is displaying. Use a program node to append additional rows with a key but no argument.
Alternaively a template may me more suitable for your requirement than a table.

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
