Idoc generation and reprint for smartforms and sapscripts

Dear Experts,
Currently our scenario is as below.
We are using XML for all outputs. once IDOC is generated it is passed to XML port and print is issued.
To reprint IDOC we have a customised program where in we can enter idoc number and print output.
Now we are converting all to smartforms and at some places sapscript. So how to setup reprint for idocs in smartforms and sapscript as it is done for sapscripts. Do we need to make some config in WE19 to issue smart forms and sapscripts.
If possible please give all steps right from preparing structures till reprint.
Can anyone help with detailed solutions.

What are Smartforms and SAPscripts?

Hey Everyone,
Where do we use Smartforms and SAPscripts...how to we create these...if u have step step procedures that will be helpful...
Thanks in Advance...

Smartform is client indep.
Scripts is client dependent.
Smartform will generate function module.
Script will not.
Tcode for scripts is se71
Tcode for smartforms is smartforms
go to sap library ............ their u can find the step by step procedure............
SAP Smart Forms is introduced in SAP Basis Release 4.6C as the tool for creating and maintaining forms.
SAP Smart Forms allow you to execute simple modifications to the form and in the form logic by using simple graphical tools; in 90% of all cases, this won't include any programming effort. Thus, a power user without any programming knowledge can configure forms with data from an SAP System for the relevant business processes.
Execute transaction SMARTFORMS to start SAP Smart Forms.
Key Benefits of SAP Smart Forms:
SAP Smart Forms allows you to reduce considerably the implementation costs of mySAP.com solutions since forms can be adjusted in minimum time. You design a form using the graphical Form Painter and the graphical Table Painter. The form logic is represented by a hierarchy structure (tree structure) that consists of individual nodes, such as nodes for global settings, nodes for texts, nodes for output tables, or nodes for graphics.
To make changes, use Drag & Drop, Copy & Paste, and select different attributes. These actions do not include writing of coding lines or using a Script language.
Using your form description maintained in the Form Builder, Smart Forms generates a function module that encapsulates layout, content and form logic. So you do not need a group of function modules to print a form, but only one. For Web publishing, the system provides a generated XML output of the processed form. Smart Forms provides a data stream called XML for Smart Forms (XSF) to allow the use of 3rd party printing tools. XSF passes form content from R/3 to an external product without passing any layout information about the Smart Form.
To print a form, you need a program for data retrieval and a Smart Form that contains the entire from logic. As data retrieval and form logic are separated, you must only adapt the Smart Form if changes to the form logic are necessary. The application program passes the data via a function module interface to the Smart Form. When activating the Smart Form, the system automatically generates a function module. At runtime, the system processes this function module.
You can insert static and dynamic tables. This includes line feeds in individual table cells, triggering events for table headings and subtotals, and sorting data before output.
You can check individual nodes as well as the entire form and find any existing errors in the tree structure. The data flow analysis checks whether all fields (variables) have a defined value at the moment they are displayed.
SAP Smart Forms allow you to include graphics, which you can display either as part of the form or as background graphics. You use background graphics to copy the layout of an existing (scanned) form or to lend forms a company-specific look. During printout, you can suppress the background graphic, if desired.
SAP Smart Forms also support postage optimizing.
Also read SAP Note No. 168368 - Smart Forms: New form tool in Release 4.6C
Example Forms Available in Standard SAP R/3
SF_EXAMPLE_01
Simple example; invoice with table output of flight booking for one customer
SF_EXAMPLE_02
Similar to SF_EXAMPLE_01 but with subtotals
SF_EXAMPLE_03
Similar to SF_EXAMPLE_02, whereby several customers are selected in the application program; the form is called for each customer and all form outputs are included in an output request.

Spool Smartforms and SapScript

Hi guys,
I have the following problem, my program prints 1 smartforms and 1 sapscript. Need to both leave the same spool anyone know how can I do that?

Hi Cleber.
In the driver program based on condition print the smart form or script.
On the selection screen create the two radio buttons one for the smart form and other for script..
If p_lay1 eq 'X'.
w_form = 'Z_SMARTFORM'.
elseif p_lay2 eq 'X'.
w_form = 'Z_SCRIPT'.

Smartform and sapscript..

in which scenario v prefer smartform over sapscripts and in which scenarios sapscript over smartforms?

Hi,
Smartforms are better to use than scripts as they provide more facility like color, graphical user interface etc, but scripts are the oldest form of layout available in SAP. There is no advantage of using script over smartform. This entirely depends on the choice in case of new developments. However, if you have to change/customize existing script then you have to deal with scripts only.
Difference with SMARTFORMS vs SapScript(SE71).
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) Smartforms generates a function module when activated.
d) Unlike sapscripts (RSTXSCRP), you cannot upload/download Smartform to your local harddisk.
e) In smartforms there is only one main window.
In scripts we can create 99 main windows.
f) Smartforms are client independent. but scripts are client dependent.
g) we can execute smartforms directly without driver program. But it is not possible in script.
h) peform statement is possible in script but not in smartforms.
i) loop statement is possible in smartforms.
In script for every data record controls moves from
script to driver program and to script.
In smrtforms this is not rquired.
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.
i) 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.

Conversion of SAPSCRIPT to SMARTFORMS
SAP provides a conversion for SAPscript documents to SMARTforms.
This is basically a function module, called FB_MIGRATE_FORM. You can start this function module by hand (via SE37), or create a small ABAP which migrates all SAPscript forms automatically.
You can also do this one-by-one in transaction SMARTFORMS, under
Utilities -> Migrate SAPscript form.

Need a PurchaseOrder SmartForm and SAPScript Report.

Hi all:,
I need a sample report for PO for SAPScript and Smartform, I am getting some problems, so I wanna to comapre these reports with my reports, can any one help me plzzzzzzzzzzz.

Hi Naimesh,
Thanks for your quick response.
Here is my SAP SCRIPT ADDRESS window:
In that my requirment :
Ensure that the distance between 2 words must be a minimum of 1 character, a maximum of 3 in Address window.
I didn't understand how to do that with CONDENSE command:
ADDRESS PARAGRAPH AS
TITLE       &ADRS-ANRED&
NAME        &ADRS-NAME1&,&ADRS-NAME2&,&ADRS-NAME3&,&ADRS-NAME4&
STREET      &ADRS-STRAS&

CITY        &ADRS-ORT01&, &ADRS-ORT02&
COUNTRY     &ADRS-LAND1&
FROMCOUNTRY &ADRS-INLND&
ENDADDRESS
1) How to add that command in above window. Is it correct?
   Ex: NAME CONDENSE &ADRS-NAME1&
2) If I use CONDENSE command, it displays one space between two words. But in my requirement I need to set up like gap is minimum 1 space and maximaum 3 spaces. Please let me know.
Thanks,

Smart Forms and Sapscripts?

Hi,
I have read that one of the differences between smartforms and sapscript is that smartform is client independent while sapscript is client dependent.Can anyone please explain me why it is so?

Edited by: kishan P on Oct 27, 2010 10:58 AM

example u create a script in client 800 .
take that script name and go to another client 810 and run the script at that time u know the difference .
for smartform it is client independent because some function modules are created dynamically so u can run this
form in any client .

Use Smartform or SAPScript

Hi Guys,
I have not used Smartform and SAPScript. I have given task to create a Shop floor paper (IW32) in a required format. Kindly advise me which will easier to learn quickly, so that I can make the PO form.
Thanks,
mini

I think you should see if SAP has delivered something similar to what you need and then copy and use it whether it is SAPScript or Smartform. If memory serves, there should be a shop paper SAPScript somewhere.

Difference between Smartforms and Sapscrits.

Hi Experts,
I have a interview coming up next week and I was just wondering: difference between Smartforms and SAPscripts..
So experts, can anyone please let me know what are the main differences between Smartforms and SAPScripts??
I will really appreciate your answers.. guys..
Regards,
-Ashok Patel.

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.

Can we migrate smartform to sapscript

hello excuse me,
i am trying to do innovative things...
can any one tell me how to do a sapscript with table in it..
else you have to tell how to migrate a smartform into sapscript..
because i am struck with an issue..it seems in DOTMATRIX printer table is not appearing when a smartform is printed..
so my master mind tells me i have to do it via sapscripts and do hardcoding for table lines...i dotn any anything in sapscripts..i tried 3 days in smartforms to get ulines vlines ..no luck..now i am set to learn sapscripts
ok...so help me..
bye

Hi,
I wouldn´t recommend to migrate to SAPscript, because this is an old technology that in future versions is going to be not supported any more by SAP; therefore, you´ll have to migrate SAPscript forms to SmartForms or AdobeForms.
There´s a migration tool from SAPscript to SmartForms but not on the opposite way. You never get that from a new version to an old version.
What do you mean by a table ?? a table like in SmartForms is not supported by SAPscript, ´cause the graphical design is very poor. It is more for text display. You can create windows and set the line borders and also you can make the background gray or dark but that´s all.
