Smartform text modules client independent...

Hi Guys,
Are smartform text modules also client independent ?
If I do some change in text modules in one client its not getting reflected in other. Can someone tell me why ?
Thanks.
Tushar.

Hi Tushar,
As Phani and Rich mentioned Text module are client dependent similar to smartforms. You have to transport from one client to another.

Smartform - text module - qualifying event

Hi all,
Once more a question:
E-recruitment 6.0
Smartforms with invitation letters (for example for an interview)
In the recruiter's portal we use a 'qualifying event' to 'set' an appointment' , date, time, place etc.
We use the input from this reference activity in the text module of the smartform.
The text module holds the main text of the letter.
The text from the module appears in the recruiters portal when the recruiter performs activity 'send letter' (act. type: type invitation) so that he can add some text manually if he likes.
It goes well when the recruiter does not add anything manually. The variables load in the smartform and it works as wel wanted.
BUT when the recruiter manually changes the letter (the text module) in the recruiters portal, all variable are lost from the letter.
I hope someone can help me out.

You need to use the functionality "Changeable letter".

Smartforms - Text Modules

Hi,
I want why Text Modules will Use in Smartforms ,where they will use can u explain?
Thanks

Hi,
You use the text type Text M odule of the text node to refer to an existing text module in the system. This allows you to easily use texts from one text module in several forms. In addition, it is not necessary to load the entire form description to maintain these texts.

SmartForms - Text Module

Hello,
how can I include dynamically text modules in my text node. I tried like this:
->GLOBAL DEFINTIONS
Global data:
textmodule   type    string
Under Initialization:
i give manually the name of my text module   "foot"
textmodule = 'foot'.
->TEXTNODE
Field Name:   &TEXTBAUSTEIN&
When I want to activate I get the failure: Type specification "STRING" not allowed.
My aim is to set different textmodules for several cases.
Has anybody of the you an idea for me, please?!?!
With kind regards
gokselin

Dear Naimesh,
I thank you very much for the quick reply.
But I also get the same failure message: Type specification "CHAR70" not allowed.
And the name of the text module is less than 20 letters.
I would like to know what the reason for this failure is.
As I told you in the Initialization-Screen I set my variable "L_TEXTNAME = 'TB_FOOT' " to test it. After I have a positive test I will give the names of the text modules by the interface. That means, in my report I set up the name of the right text node for my smartform.
Maybe we both can try it again with a new solution.
With kind regards
gokselin

Why SAP Script client-dependent but Smartform is client independent

Hi All,
What are the fundamental reasons for justifying that SAP Script is client-dependent but Smartform is client independent ???
Regards
jaman

hi,
why script is client dependent?
the reason is:
in script, to display some table data, we use text elements, where the text elements access the dictionary tables data. there the table from which we are fetching data, that may be a client dependent table, so first the text elements became client dependent. as script use text elements, script also became client dependent.
hope u got the point. to b simple, the text elements r client dependent, there fore scripts also became client dependent.
smartforms are client independent. bcoz it doesnt use any text elements. it will be executed through a function module, as you know function modules are client independent, the smartform also became client independent.
hope ur clear, if any doubts, plz post them back.

How to include text modules into text modules

Hi experts,
is there any possibility to include smartform text modules or sapscript standard texts into
a text module?
For example:
Text module "B" and "C" are supposed to be used in text module "A".
Regards
CHRIS

Hi,
thanks to all for your answers.
Obviously, there's no way to include a textmodule into a textmodule in SmartForms.

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
Mark

Hi,
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,

Go to t-code SMARTFORMS->Text Module->Create or Edit-> choose add icon and type your field name (used in your smartform) like this &fieldname&, then use this Text module in your smartform.

What is the Use of Text Module Radio buton in Smartforms

Text modules
Text modules are used to centrally store texts that are used frequently in forms in the system.
Text modules are included in forms using texts nodes. The text node can either refer to the text module or take its text. You can then change the text or add to it to suit the form.
Text modules have the following attributes:
They are client-independent
They are connected to the transport system
They are connected to the translation tools in the system
The third attribute means that a text module can be uniquely assigned to a language using the logon language. When including a text module, you can also access translations of the text module, for example, to include an English text module in a German form.

Smartforms client-independent?

Hi every body,
Please help in,
1)Why smartforms are client-independent?
2)What are SAP memory and ABAP memory?
3)How to use the option "Outline" in scripts while creating a paragraph fomat?
4)What are the control commands RESET and SUMMING in scripts and their syntaxes to use them (sample codes)?
5)What is exactly HIDE?
Thanks in advance,
SUMAN.

hi,
1Q The reason why SmartForms are client independent is because when you activate a SMartForm, SAP actually generates a Function Module (which as you know is client independent). The Print Program (or as SAP likes to refer to them these days - Application Program) calls your generated FM.
2Q SAP Memory
SAP memory is a memory area to which all main sessions within a SAPgui have access. You can use SAP memory either to pass data from one program to another within a session, or to pass data from one session to another. Application programs that use SAP memory must do so using SPA/GPA parameters (also known as SET/GET parameters). These parameters can be set either for a particular user or for a particular program using the SET PARAMETER statement. Other ABAP programs can then retrieve the set parameters using the GET PARAMETER statement. The most frequent use of SPA/GPA parameters is to fill input fields on screens
The SAP memory, otherwise known as the global memory, is available to a user during the entire duration of a terminal session. Its contents are retained across transaction boundaries as well as external and internal sessions. The SET PARAMETER and GET PARAMETER statements allow you to write to, or read from, the SAP memory.
ABAP/4 Memory
ABAP memory is a memory area that all ABAP programs within the same internal session can access using the EXPORT and IMPORT statements. Data within this area remains intact during a whole sequence of program calls. To pass data
to a program which you are calling, the data needs to be placed in ABAP memory before the call is made. The internal session of the called program then replaces that of the calling program. The program called can then read from the ABAP memory. If control is then returned to the program which made the initial call, the same process operates in reverse.
The contents of the ABAP/4 memory are retained only during the lifetime of an external session (see also Organization of Modularization Units). You can retain or pass data across internal sessions. The EXPORT TO MEMORY and IMPORT FROM MEMORY statements allow you to write data to, or read data from, the ABAP memory.

ABAP/4 Memory
ABAP memory is a memory area that all ABAP programs within the same internal session can access
using the EXPORT and IMPORT statements.
Data within this area remains intact during a whole sequence of program calls. To pass data
to a program which you are calling,
the data needs to be placed in ABAP memory before the call is made.
The internal session of the called program then replaces that of the calling program.
The program called can then read from the ABAP memory.
If control is then returned to the program which made the initial call, the same process operates in reverse.
3Q Name of the highest-level paragraph in an outline hierarchy. The outline hierarchy of various paragraphs is formed by assigning a common highest-level outline paragraph to all outline paragraphs.
Example: Three outline paragraphs, AA, BB, and CC, are to be defined, where AA is the highest and CC the lowest paragraph in the hierarchy. AA is to be used, for example, for chapter headings, BB for section headings, and CC for headings within the sections.
Paragraph AA must be specified as the highest-level outline paragraph for all three paragraphs. Make sure that AA, this paragraph itself, is entered as the highest-level outline paragraph for AA.
4.SUMMING: Adding program symbols
Program symbols can be added with the SUMMING command. The command only needs to be defined once. Each time that the specified symbol is edited, its current value is added to the sum field. Several program symbols can also be added in a sum field.
Sntax:
/:SUMMING program symbol INTO sum symbol
As SAP script cannot define sum fields dynamically, the sum symbol must be in a structure of the calling program, which was declared with TABLES.
5. Hide is a keyword used in Interactive reporting.it is used to hold the value till the next screen

Text from text module is not appearing in smartform output

Hi Experts,
We are using text modules in one of our smartform to print the sender text . The name of this text module is being dynamically determined during the execution and is coming correctly but still the the text inside the text module is not appearing in the output. We checked one more similar form which is working on the similar logic but calling a different text module , there it is working perfectly. I have tried all the possibilties like changing the window size, changing the fonts and other parameters of the text module but still its not appearing . This seems to be something unusual as in both the smartforms(one with text appearing from module and one without the text) the logic is exactly similar for getting the text module name. The name is getting determined in both the cases correctly and the text modules are also maintained in same manner for both these forms but text is appearing on one and not on other.
Kindly help if any one of you have also faced similar issue.
Regards

Hi Priyank,
There could be various reasons....
Wrong language for example
An easy way to prove this is, put the text direct into the smartforms and see, if it pops up immediately.
If so, you have to really debug this spot and see if the pased name is correct. (Copy paste it in the debugger, to be really sure, there could be a space in fornt or in the end...)
If that doesn't help, you have to share more details. Your question is not that very specific. You know

Problem related to language translation in Smartforms using Text Module.

I have done translation of text module from English (enUS) to Spanish (esSP) using SE63. In text node I have used this translated text module. Language of the node is selected as sy-langu. So when I logged into System in English language I should be able to see the output in English but it giving output in Spnaish. While debugging sy-langu value is 'E'.

hi,
You have a text in english and you have maintained the translation in Spanish, mention the original text in the SmartForm. in this way when your login lang is EN you will see that text in Eng and if the lang is Spanish you will see the translation in the output.
Thanks.

Text Modules translation to logon language in Smartforms

I have created a text module and included it in my smartform. Now what i want is to translate the form as well as the text module in the Logon language.
In the general attributes for the smartform i have already selected Translate-> To all languages.
Please help. Thanks in advance

Hi.
You can easily translate the text module using transaction SE63.
Just select Translation->ABAP Objects->Transport Objects
and fill it like for a smartform
R3TR SSFO <Name of text module>
Choose the language and here you go.

Timo.

hi kk,
text modules:
these r like global texts, which we created once can be used in any smartform.
u can create this in t-code: smartforms
select the radio button text modules, in the editor give the text which u want.
to use this in our form:
select the window -> create text
in genaral attributes -> text type -> select text module
give the name, language(generally en) which u created. then it gets the text which u gave in text module.
note: when using existing text modules, as we r not aware of text size, it is better to use them in main window. so that we wont lose any data.
hope it helps u. reward if helpful.
