Tables in smartforms

Hello Gurus, i am printing many tables in a smartform. The problem is that when the page changes i have half of a table o the first page and another half on the second page. Can i set the table to be unbreakable, i mean that if there is no space on the current page the table should be printed on the second page.
I will reward points, please help it`s urgent.

Hi,
It was easy with SAPscript, but how to do it with SF's. For 4.7 version if you are using tables, there are two options for protection against line break:
- You can protect a line type against page break.
- You can protect several table lines against page break for output in the main area.
Protection against page break for line types
- Double-click on your table node and choose the Table tab page.
- Switch to the detail view by choosing the Details pushbutton.
- Set the Protection against page break checkbox in the table for the relevant line type. Table lines that use this line type are output on one page.
Protection against page break for several table lines
- Expand the main area of your table node in the navigation tree.
- Insert a file node for the table lines to be protected in the main area.
- If you have already created table lines in the main area, you can put the lines that you want to protect again page break under the file using Drag&Drop. Otherwise, create the table lines as subnodes of the file.
- Choose the Output Options tab page of the file node and set the Page Protection option. All table lines that are in the file with the Page Protection option set are output on one page.
In 4.6, Alternatively in a paragraph format use the Page protection attribute to determine whether or not to display a paragraph completely on one page. Mark it if you want to avoid that a paragraph is split up by a page break. If on the current page (only in the main window) there is not enough space left for the paragraph, the entire paragraph appears on the next page.

I m printing an internal table in smartform.when a particular field exceeds the coloumn's length.the rest of the texts come down to the next line.It can be shown in the below example.i m printing "+ text to be printed" in that particular coloumn.
Because of the size of the coloumn in table ,"ed." comes down as shown.

its coming by default.
I want it like + text to be print

I dont want ed to come directly down '+'.I want it to start from where 't' of 'text'
starts in the above line.
Notice that the requirement is to print "ed" after '2' spaces.And we can not use the string length concept bcoz not of characters after which the line comes down is not fixed.May be some change of setting in smartform will do the trick.
Please suggest what i need to do to get the desired result...

Declaring an internal table in smartform

hi,
 can anyone tell how to declare internal table in smartform.
 the internal table contains fields from 2 or more data dictionary tables(eg.kna1
 and adrc). after this from the print program(internal table containing data in print
 program) internal table should be passed to the smartform.
thanks.

hi laxya,
if u want to pass the data from internal table in print program to Smartform.. there is only way.. that is using form interface..
1. goto se11, create a structure same as the itab in the print program.ex. z_itab
2. create line type... se11>select radio button-DATA type>z_it_itab >press create>then select>TABLE Type> then entrer some text--> in the line type Field in giveth Str name u have created in STEP 1. activate it.
3. got SMARTFORMS-> form inteface>tables tabe--> give some name ex IT_tab type z_it_itab.
then acivate it.. then in the driver progam pass this table data.
Exapmpel
CALL FUNCTION fp_v_fm_name
 EXPORTING
 archive_index = toa_dara
 archive_parameters = arc_params
 control_parameters = fp_st_control_parameters
 user_settings = space
 output_options = fp_st_output_options
 wa_vbdkr = fp_st_vbdkr
 IMPORTING
 job_output_info = l_it_ssfcrescl
 job_output_options = l_it_ssfcresop
 TABLES
 IT_tab = z_it_itab (or table in driver program)
EXCEPTIONS
 formatting_error = 1
 internal_error = 2
 send_error = 3
 user_canceled = 4
 OTHERS = 5.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
 MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
 WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ENDIF.
Another way is cteate a type in Globaldifination-->types tab..
ex:
types: begin of ty_itab,
 matnr type matnr,
 meins type meins
 vrkme type vrkme,
end of ty_itab,
ty_it_itab type standard table of ty_itab.
then GLOBAL DIFINATION>GLOBAL DATA TAB>IT)ITAB TYPE TY_IT_ITAB.
BUT In this u can't pass the data from the print Program.. if u want to populate data in to this table... u have to write the Select query in the GLOBAL DIFINATIONS-->INITILIZATIONS TAB.
Please Close this thread.. when u r problem is solved
Reward if Helpful

How to Define Internal Table in Smartform

Hello,
I have some problem on define Internal Table in Smartform
I define a Temp_IT_Gen Type LBBIL_IT_GEN in Global Definiations
but i find that it is not available for me to append data into it,
the error message is Temp_IT_Gen is not a Internal Table - the Occurs n Specification is missing
so how can i solve it?
i want to use the internal table in the hold program.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,
First U define the Table type in 'TYPES' tab of Global Definitions and then assing that table type to Internal table in 'Global Data' tab.
Eg:
define the Table Type like below in TYPES tab.
TYPES:BEGIN OF ty_TEMP.
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE XXXXXXX.
TYPES:END OF ty_TEMP.
TYPES: g_t_temp TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_TEMP .
Now, define the Internal table in Global Data tab like below:
Variable Name    Type assignment    Associated Type
G_T_ITEM_1       TYPE                    G_T_TEMP
NOTE: whatever U define in Global Definitions can be used only in SMARTFORM, if u want to use it in Program U must define in Form Interface.
Hope it helps!!

How to restrict height of table in smartform without using template

Hi Gurus,
I am facing a problem with table in smartform.I have 5 records in my table.If i print all 5 then table is fine.But if i get only one record in table then size of the table reduces to one row.Is there any way that i can keep my table height same as for 5 records,though i pass 1 record.I cannot use template here,because page-breaks are used in the form .
Your solutions are highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Meenakshi

Hi,
As far my knowledge goes, If there is one record then table lines will take the height of only one row. You cannot Restrict it to take height of 5 rows.
A temporary solution could be to add empty records in your internal table so that the table uses all the 5 rows in the table while printing in the smartform. Since they are empty records your smartform will not display any data but will only use the height.
If you have 1 record add 4 empty records, Similarly if you have 2 records add 3 empty records...
This way all time the table will take the height of 5 rows.
As i said earlier this could be a temporary solution.
Thanks,
Hari Prasad.

Problem with printing footer of table in Smartforms

Hi Gurus!
I have created a table in a window in Smartforms. I need to put in the totals at the footer of the table, displaying these values only at the end of the page. The problem I have encountered is that the footer prints immediately after the line of the main area. The form i'm printing right now is pre-printed, so I need to write the footer at a specified area.
Let's say my table accommodates 20 lines. The footer must be written immediately after the 20th line. If, on the last page, there are only 10 lines, the footer must still print on the area after the 20th line.
Really need your help guys, i'm hoping for a quick response. Thanks!

I need to put both the main area and the footer in the same loop because there is a field where, when changed, it must page-break. The fields/values in the main area and the footer are all part of a sub-table that depends on a field of a bigger table.
my smartform looks like this:
Loop at header table.
   if order number changes, start new page.
   loop at table x.
       main area - print items of the table where order_number = header_table-order_number.
       footer - print totals of the table where order_number = header_table-order_number.
Endloop
So you see, i need to place the footer inside the loop also. It's the only way I know to work around this.
Thanks.

There is no problem passing an internal table to a smarforms, smartforms have the same interface as a function module ([Defining the Form Interface|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/1c/f40c5bddf311d3b574006094192fe3/frameset.htm] in [Smart Forms|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/a5/de6838abce021ae10000009b38f842/frameset.htm]) so could you elaborate a little more on your requirement (is it a standard a custom forms, etc.)
