Smart form script

hi experts,
please let me know abt the standard smartforms / script that is available for printing sales order.
Note: I am using ecc 6.0
Thanks

Hi Rajendra,
I am not aware of any Standard program for Smartforms. However there is a roundabout way which might be able to help you.
First find the name of the Function Module created for that Smartform ( Smartforms -> Environment -> Function Module Name)
Open this FM in SE37 -> Utilities -> More Utilities -> Upload/Download -> Download.
This will download the FM to a text file.
Hope this helps!
Dont forget to reward points if it does!

SAP Script & Smart forms

Hi All,
How to find out in a particular object whether SAP scripts or smart forms are used?
If forms are used is there any t.code to find out which type of form is used?
Regards,
Vamsi P

Hello Vamsi,
SAP scripts and SMARTFORMS - both serve the same purpose.
SMARTFORMS were introduced since the release of SAP 4.7. Earlier to that it was only SAP scripts for designing layouts. SMARTFORMS have few additional benefits in terms designing over scripts.
Now, coming to your questions - Every Script or a SMARTFORM has a driver program. i.e. Smart form/Script has to be called into a program. And this Driver program is in turn assigned to the relevant output type, And the output type is assiged to appropriate level of a transaction i.e. at the header level of an order or invoice etc.
T-code: SE71 is used to design SAP script.
T-Code: SMARTFORMS is used for designing Smart Forms.
To find out whether a script or Smartform is used in any particular case..........you have to look into the Driver program that is assiged to the output type.
Hope this helps..............

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.

How to limit the number of rows in a smart form , sap script.

Can anyone tell me how to limit the number of rows in the output of a sap script/smart form. I have tried "protect/endprotect" in sap script but have no idea of how to do in smart form. In sap script the only way it has happened is by reducing the size of the main window.

Hi,
In Smartform also, why dont you try reducing the size of the window if you want to limit the rows in it. Also if you are printing Line Items in a LOOP, you can write
LOOP AT T_ITAB FROM 1 TO N in the LOOP Node if you know how many records exactly you want to display in 1 Page processing.

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.

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,

Dear Friend,
Both smart form and script are output tools for print out, script is the older version
1.SCRIPTS ARE CLIENT DEPENDENT
SMARTFORMS ARE CLIENT INDEPENDENT
2.WE CANNOT ADD COLORS IN SCRIPTS
WE CAN ADD COLORS IN SMARTFORMS
3.WE CANNOT GET THE FUNCTION MODULE WHEN WE ACTIVATE THE PROGRAM
WHEN WE ACTIVATE THE PROGRAM WE GET FUNCTION MODULE
4.WE CAN WRITE ENTIRE CODE IN SMARTFROM ITSELF

Migrate the script to smart forms

I have use ECC5.0 .
access the migrate function: got to Utilities-->Migrate script form
but in this no option is there (Migrate script form) any other choice is there in this ECC5.0

Hi,
Step 1. Access the initial screen. Choose Tools>Forms printout>Smart Forms (transaction SMARTFORMS) from the SAP Easy Access Menu. The dialog window SAP Smart Forms: Initial Screen appears.
Step 2. Name the form. In the Form Field, enter field name you want to give, for example ZTF_GR_## (based on your company standard starting with Z to identify this as a customized form, where ## is the group number).
Step 3. Access the migrate function. Go to Utilities>Migrate SAPscript Form. In the dialogue window enter the SAPscript form name, for example Y_SAPSCRIPT_STD. Choose the Check button.
Step 4. View the migrated layout. On the screen that appears, the SAPscript form is migrated into a rough Smart Form . Click on Form Painter to see an overview of the form layout.
Use the following steps for mass migration or simultaneous migration of multiple SAPscript forms: Step 1. Run the mass migration program. In Reporting (transaction SE38), select the program SF_MIGRATE and execute it (Figure 3). Select the names and the language of the SAPscript forms and click the execute icon. The system creates the Smart Forms named for the SAPscript forms plus the extension SF. It displays a list of the migrated forms.
Step 2. Make changes (if necessary). To change and adapt a form, go to transaction SMARTFORMS. Then activate the changed Smart Form.
Once the SAPscripts are converted, whether in Smart Forms or Smart Styles, you should clean up any errors made during the conversion process, in terms of attributes, window alignment, or syntax errors. Cleaning up errors during conversion is often standard procedure, as SAPscript might have used local logic. Errors may occur when a field displayed is extracted or manipulated to display and doesnt exist, or fields exist but appear with no values. Errors may also arise in ABAP syntax.
Step 1. Define the Import Parameter. Double-click on the Global Settings> Form Interface from the navigation menu
Step 2. On the Import Tab, enter the import structure information. For example, enter Parameter Name (table name, such as LIKP), Type Assignment: Type, Reference Type (table name), Optional (or Mandatory); Pass Val: (Passing value indicator). This must be done for all the data retrieved from the SAP tables.
Step 3. Remove irrelevant or unnecessary windows. To delete a navigational menu node, right-click on the node, and select Delete. Since you start with windows in SAPscript, there might be redundant windows created for text.
Step 4. Set the first page. Delete the NEXT page node on the menu tree. Double-click on the first page node. In the General Attributes tab, change the Next Page value to FIRST.
Step 5. Delete the DETAIL frame window. Expand the MAIN window and delete all its text nodes.
Step 6. Adjust the text nodes. Click on the text nodes and let the system fit the text.
Step 7. Save and check the syntax.
