Hi,
You need to craete a SMARTFORM using transaction SMARTFORMS. In this trasaction under FORM INTERFACE give the variable which would be passed from your program.
Then use these variables and pass the information in Windows which you will create in your smartforms.
When you activate your SMART form it will create a Fucntion Module whihc you need to call from your report program.
Please go through the information given in thread :

Fetch Row process error in form called from report

I have an interactive report that calls a form (when user hits the edit link on a row). The form is using a fetch row process (Automatic Row Processing). The problem I have is if a user tries to hit the edit link on a row that was already deleted, I get the 'No Data Found' error. I got around it by adding a condition (exists) to the fetch row process, but that just retirns a blank recor din the form. I wanted to either make a nice error (with a validation) etc. Anybody run into this?

Bob,
The easiest thing to do would be to have the page with the interactive report submit the page and you could use a validation on that page to run the check before redirecting the user to the form with a branch. To do this, however, as the interactive report only has "link" options, you'll need to use a little javascript in the query...
Example:
SELECT id,
'Edit' AS edit
FROM TABLERegards,

Calling Forms 6i from Reports 6i. Is this possible. Run Product in Reports

Re: Calling Forms 6i from Reports 6i. Is this possible?
Hello,
I have need programming in Oracle 9.x and using Forms and Reports for about 1.5 years. My ERP application calls a report from a form. I DO NOT have source code for the FORM. But, I DO have source code for the Report. So, from the Report 6i, I would like to call an Oracle Form 6i. Note: Not WEB based. My question is, IS THIS POSSIBLE. I can not find a command like Run Product in Report for calling a Form Application. Can someone please help me. I am under the gun to have this ready in a couple of days. Can I call an Active X Application from Reports..if Oracle Forms DOES NOT WORK. This needs to be a Form Application because of the nature of this request.
Thank you
Dennis

Thank you
...the ERP vendor based on a form icon button will call a report. They will pass a TAG_NUMBER from a database record (that they just inserted) to the report. This tag_number will link to other tables and will display the report. The problem is ??..there is additional information that the user needs to scan into the database BEFORE the report runs. This is part of the business work flow.
I have options.
1) Get the ERP Vendor to call a FORM based on the name I provide to them.(Not really an option since they are unwilling to make custom mod changes.)
2) Have the user key into the REPORTS PARM FORM. And I will update the tables...
3) Call an Active OCX popup FORM from Reports and then update tables. Is this possible from Reports???..I am not sure if I like to introduce ms vb into an oracle application. It just does not seem to be a correct solution/procedure.
4) Pay the ERP Vendor as a custom mod to make the changes for us. (unlikely because they do not like making custom mod changes)
5) ....any more ideas/comments please let me know..
Thank you Again

Adobe Form called from SAP Portal, not executing interface global init code

Hello!
I have an adobe form called from both R/3 and SAP Portal and I need to show long text dinamically calculated.
The deal is at the SAP Portal execution, as scenario characteristics don't allow string definitions, I'm using 255 characters tables (QISR_TAB_TYPE), that I'm trying to convert inside form interface (Global init code).
The problem is that the interface global init code is being executed when the form is called from R/3, but it is not at SAP Portal.
Does anybody know how to manage this? It's kind of a problem that the BAdi method int_service_request_init doesn't allow types over 255 characters... and if it is not possible to access the form interface code section (maybe there's any way)... i need to find some code section where i can convert tables before the form context is filled!!
Thanks a lot!!
Regards,
Diana.

Hi,
have you searched on SCN? There are some threads with same problem such as [this one|/message/9270216#9270216 [original link is broken];. There is more threads. They may help you to solve your issue.

New Window for Form called from a form based on a procedure

Hi
I have a form that is based on a procedure that asks for an employee number. The number is then passed to the procedure. The procedure then calls the next form passing in the employee number.
This works however I would like the form called from the procedure to open in a new window while still being able to pass in the employee number as a parameter.
Is there a way to do this? I have tried looking at wwa_app_module.new_instance & wwv_media.show_newwindow but I these only take the moduleid, I can't see how to pass in the employee number at the same time.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Belinda

Hi,
You can pass parameters like this
wwv_redirect.url('SJAYARAM_9042F.wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=1060253649&p_arg_names=deptno&p_arg_values=10&p_arg_names=_deptno_cond&p_arg_values=%3d');
In this example the parameter deptno is passed with a value 10 and conditional operator '='
Hope that helps.
Thanks,

Regarding Smart Form Printing, Print Preview issues

Hi,
I have couple of issues regarding Smart Form Printing, Print Preview.
In my program i am passing below parameters to smart form function module:
t_control-device = c_printer.
t_control-no_dialog = space.
t_control-preview = space.
t_control-no_dialog = c_x.
t_output-tddest = g_spld.
t_output-tdimmed = c_x. " Print Immediately
t_output-tddelete = space. " Don't Release spool after output
g_user_settings = c_x.
Issue#1: Though i have set preview paramter to space, after executing program it is prompting for Preview Screen, There again i have to give printer name though i am passing printer name as above and i need to hit on print preview button to set Layout output.
Here how can i go directly to layout output without preview screen.
Issue#2: In some cases we need to Print the layout set output after executing program immediately without prompting for preview screen and then Layout set output should also be shown after printing the output.
How can i solve these issues!
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Deep.

Hi,
In the SAP menu screen goto System->User Profile->Own data
There in the defaults tab, for the output device give the value you had maintained for g_spld. This will not prompt you a dialog screen, and if you want to print immediately select the checkbox as well. Then try to execute the smartform. Hope this solves ur issue.

:reptitle := 'Report Preview Window';
numWinHandle := Crystal_CrystalCtrl.PrintReport( :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface );
Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'DEFAULT');
END;NOTE: Change the report name and path according to your required file name and path in
the "Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName" method call. Also, the connection string shown
assumes that you will use the current USER and PASSWORD for the Form.
- To make the above Form generic so that you can run any Crystal report from it, then create
a parameter for the report name and pass it to the Form using CALL_FORM from any other Form.
Then just replace the file name with the passed parameter.
-. Run the Form
If its correct/helpful please mark it thanks.

Hi,
This Smartform Information I read, really helped me out.
I think it would be of some good help to you too..
What is SAP Smart Forms?
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.
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
What Transaction to start SAP Smart Forms?
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.
Advantages of SAP Smart Forms
1. The adaption of forms is supported to a large extent by graphic tools for layout and logic, so that no programming knowledge is necessary (at least 90% of all adjustments). Therefore, power user forms can also make configurations for your business processes with data from an SAP system. Consultants are only required in special cases.
2. Displaying table structures (dynamic framing of texts)
3. Output of background graphics, for form design in particular the use of templates which were scanned.
4. Colored output of texts
5. User-friendly and integrated Form Painter for the graphical design of forms
6. Graphical Table Painter for drawing tables
7. Reusing Font and paragraph formats in forms (Smart Styles)
8. Data interface in XML format (XML for Smart Forms, in short XSF)
9. Form translation is supported by standard translation tools
10. Flexible reuse of text modules
11. HTML output of forms (Basis release 6.10)
12. Interactive Web forms with input fields, pushbuttons, radio buttons, etc. (Basis-Release 6.10)
A Simple Smartform Tutorial
SAP Smartforms can be used for creating and maintaining forms for mass printing in SAP Systems. The output medium for Smartforms support printer, fax, e-mail, or the Internet (by using the generated XML output).
According to SAP, you need neither have any programming knowledge nor use a Script language to adapt standard forms. However, basic ABAP programming skills are required only in special cases (for example, to call a function module you created or for complex and extensive conditions).
1. Create a new smartforms
Transaction code SMARTFORMS
Create new smartforms call ZSMART
2. Define looping process for internal table
 Pages and windows
 First Page -> Header Window (Cursor at First Page then click Edit -> Node -> Create)
Here, you can specify your title and page numbering
&SFSY-PAGE& (Page 1) of &SFSY-FORMPAGES(Z4.0)& (Total Page)
 Main windows -> TABLE -> DATA
 In the Loop section, tick Internal table and fill in
 ITAB1 (table in ABAP SMARTFORM calling function) INTO ITAB2
3. Define table in smartforms
 Global settings :
 Form interface
 Variable name Type assignment Reference type
 ITAB1 TYPE Table Structure
 Global definitions
 Variable name Type assignment Reference type
 ITAB2 TYPE Table Structure
4. To display the data in the form
 Make used of the Table Painter and declare the Line Type in Tabstrips Table
 e.g. HD_GEN for printing header details,
 IT_GEN for printing data details.
 You have to specify the Line Type in your Text elements in the Tabstrips Output options.
 Tick the New Line and specify the Line Type for outputting the data.
 Declare your output fields in Text elements
 Tabstrips - Output Options
 For different fonts use this Style : IDWTCERTSTYLE
 For Quantity or Amout you can used this variable &GS_ITAB-AMOUNT(12.2)&
5. Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program
REPORT ZSMARTFORM.
Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program.
Collecting all the table data in your program, and pass once to SMARTFORMS
SMARTFORMS
Declare your table type in :-
Global Settings -> Form Interface
Global Definintions -> Global Data
Main Window -> Table -> DATA

Additional Fonts for your SMARTFORMS
You can create additional fonts and style with transaction SMARTSTYLES
This can then be define in the paragraph and character formats, which you can then be assign to texts and fields in the Smart Form.
The character formats includes effects such as superscript, subscript, barcode and font attributes.
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.
FAQ on Migrating SAPscript to SmartForms
Is it possible to migrate a SAPscript form to a Smart Form?
Smart Forms provides a migration tool for this purpose which migrates layout and texts of a SAPscript form to a Smart Form. It does not migrate SAPscript form logic of the print program. Using Smart Forms, this logic is described by the tree structure of the Form Builder. The effort involved in migrating it depends on the complexity of the print program.
Which Basis Release do I need to use SAP Smart Forms?
SAP Smart Forms is available as of R/3 Basis Release 4.6C.
I have heard that Smart Forms replaces SAPscript. What does "replace" mean?
It does not mean that SAPscript is removed from the Basis shipment. Even as of Basis Release 4.6C, SAPscript remains part of the SAP standard and there are no plans to remove it. Since Smart Forms is currently, and will continue to be, the tool for form maintenance for mySAP.com solutions, our further development efforts will focus on Smart Forms, not on SAPscript.
Do we have to migrate all SAPscript forms to Smart Forms?
There is no point in migrating all SAPscript forms already in use. Since SAPscript can still be used and will be available in the future, there is no need to. If you plan to migrate a SAPscript form, it is recommended that you check whether benefit is worth the effort involved
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.
You could also write a small batch program calling transaction SMARTFORMS and running the migration tool.
SmartForms System Fields
Within a form you can use the field string SFSY with its system fields. During form processing the system replaces these fields with the corresponding values. The field values come from the SAP System or are results of the processing.
System fields of Smart Forms
&SFSY-DATE&
Displays the date. You determine the display format in the user master record.
&SFSY-TIME&
Displays the time of day in the form HH:MM:SS.
&SFSY-PAGE&
Inserts the number of the current print page into the text. You determine the format of the page number (for example, Arabic, numeric) in the page node.
&SFSY-FORMPAGES&
Displays the total number of pages for the currently processed form. This allows you to include texts such as'Page x of y' into your output.
&SFSY-JOBPAGES&
Contains the total page number of all forms in the currently processed print request.
&SFSY-WINDOWNAME&
Contains the name of the current window (string in the Window field)
&SFSY-PAGENAME&
Contains the name of the current page (string in the Page field)
&SFSY-PAGEBREAK&
Is set to 'X' after a page break (either automatic [Page 7] or command-controlled [Page 46])
&SFSY-MAINEND&
Is set as soon as processing of the main window on the current page ends
&SFSY-EXCEPTION&
Contains the name of the raised exception. You must trigger your own exceptions, which you defined in the form interface, using the user_exception macro (syntax: user_exception <exception name >).
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
Smart forms Frequently Asked Questions
Forcing a page break within table loop
Create a loop around the table. Put a Command node before the table in the loop that forces a NEWPAGE on whatever condition you want. Then only loop through a subset of the internal table (based on the conditions in the Command node) of the elements in the Table node.
Font style and Font size
Goto Transaction SMARTSTYLES.
There you can create Paragraph formats etc just like in sapscript.
Then in your window under OUTPUT OPTIONS you include this SMARTSTYLE and use the Paragraph and character formats.
Line in Smartform
Either you can use a window that takes up the width of your page and only has a height of 1 mm.
Then you put a frame around it (in window output options).
Thus you have drawn a box but it looks like a line.
Or you can just draw "__" accross the page and play with the fonts so that it joins each UNDER_SCORE.
Difference between 'forminterface' and 'global definitions' in global settings of smart forms
The Difference is as follows.
To put it very simply:
Form Interface is where you declare what must be passed in and out of the smartform (in from the print program to the smartform and out from the smartform to the print program).
Global defs. is where you declare data to be used within the smartform on a global scope.
ie: anything you declare here can be used in any other node in the form.
Smartforms function module name
Once you have activated the smartform, go to the environment -> function module name. There you can get the name of funtion module name.
The key thing is the program that calls it. for instance, the invoice SMARTFORM LB_BIL_INVOICE is ran by the program RLB_INVOICE.
This program uses another FM to determine the name of the FM to use itself. The key thing is that when it calls this FM (using a variable to store the actual name), that the parameters match the paramters in your smartform.
Another thing to note is that the FM name will change wherever the SF is transported to.
So you need to use the FM to determine the name of the SF.
Here is the code that can be use to determine the internal name of the function module:
Code:
 if sf_label(1) <> '/'. " need to resolve by name
 move sf_label to externalname.
 call function 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
 exporting
 formname = externalname
 importing
 fm_name = internalname
 exceptions
 no_form = 1
 no_function_module = 2
 others = 3.
 if sy-subrc <> 0.
 message 'e427'.
 endif.
 move internalname to sf_label.
 endif.
It checks to see if the sf_label starts with a '/', which is how the internal names start. if it does, the name has already been converted. If not, it calls the FM and converts the name.
You would then CALL FUNCTION sf_label.
Smartforms FAQ Part Two
Smartforms output difference
Problem with Smartforms: in a certain form for two differently configured printers, there seem to be a difference in the output of characters per inch (the distance between characters which gives a layout problem - text in two lines instead of one. It happens when the two printers having different Printer Controls' if you go to SPAD Menu (Spool Administrator Menu) you can see the difference in the Printer Control and if you make the Printer control setting for both the printers as same. then it will be ok. and also u have to check what is the device type used for both the output devices.
SmartForms Output to PDF
There is a way to download smartform in PDF format.
Please do the following:
1. Print the smartform to the spool.
2. Note the spool number.
3. Download a PDF file (Acrobat Reader) version of the spool by running Program RSTXPDFT4 and entering the noted spool number.
SmartForm Doublesided printing question Your customer wants your PO SmartForm to be able to print "Terms and Conditinos" on the back side of each page. They don't want to purchase pre-printed forms with the company's logo on the front and terms & conditions on the back. Now this presents an interesting problem.
Has anyone else ever had a request like this? If for example there was a 3 page PO to be printed, they want 3 pieces of paper, the front side of each to containe the PO information (page 1, 2, and 3) and the back side of each piece of paper to containg the static "Terms & Conditions" information.
Anyone have a clue how to force this out?
Easy - page FRONT lists page CONTACTS as next page and CONTACTS lists FRONT as next page. Since CONTACTS does not contain a MAIN window, it will print the contacts info and then continue on to FRONT for the rest of the main items. Additionally, set print mode on FRONT to D (duplex) and set CONTACTS to 'blank' (for both resource name and print mode - this is the only way to get to the back of the page).
Transport Smart Forms
How does one transport SMARTFORM? SE01?
How do you make sure that both, the SMARTFORM & it's function module gets transported? Or does the FM with same name gets generated automatically in the transported client?
A smartform is transported no differently than any other object. if it is assigned to a development class that is atteched to a transport layer, it will be transported.
The definition is transported, and when called, the function module is regenerated.
This leads to an interetsing situation. On the new machine, it is very likely the function module name will be different than the name on the source system. Make sure, before you call the function module, you resolve the external name to the internal name using the 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' function module.
Typically, generate the SF, then use the pattern to being in the interface. Then change the call function to use the name you get back from the above function module.
Smartforms: protect lines in main window.
How to protect lines in the main window from splitting between pages?
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.

Fields appear as "Read Only" in an Int.Form called from a WD

Hi Experts!
I am having a doubt in an Adobe Int.Form, that is called from a WD application.
The fields that are in my Form, always appear as a "read only". It is not possible to modify anything there.
Here, I describe the steps that I follow.
I create a very simple WD application. In its WD View, exist an unique Object (Adobe Interactive Form).
In that object, I set the properties:
"Data source": a context variable type "my structure". "My structure", is a simple structure with a couple or three fields, let´s say PERNR, BUKRS, WERKS... It is linked to the Form Interface (ABAP DICTIONARY-BASED INTERFACE). So in this way, the link between my WD and the AdobeInt.Form is working.
"PDF Source": a context variable type XSTRING.
"Template Source": here I have set my Int.Form. Currently, it only contains a couple of fields
"Enabled": True.
"Read Only": False.
In the AdobeForm, I have drag & droped those 2 or 3 fields, save it, and activate it. I guess nothing more is needed, for my test.
And at last, in the View´s method WDDOINIT, I am reading one of those fields, let´s say the employee number (PERNR), and I set by hardcoding its number (let´s say -> 00000001).
Until here, everything seems to work fine. When I launch the WD test, the Adobeform appears, at the moment, with only one of my fields (Employee - PERNR), and its value is filled in with '00000001'.
But now, I would like to write something by myself. And when I try to do it, it is not possible! Field PERNR, is displayed as a "READ ONLY".
Someone knows what is happening here? I guess it should be possible, to activate as a "EDITABLE" that field in my Form.
So here is my doubt.
Am I doing anything wrong? Or am I doing any mistake?
Thank you very much in advance!

Finally I think I have found the problem.
In the View where I am printing the ADOBEFORM, it is needed this code under the method WDDOMODIFYVIEW.
method WDDOMODIFYVIEW .
DATA: LV_INTERACTIVE_FORM   TYPE REF TO CL_WD_INTERACTIVE_FORM,
             LV_METHOD_HANDLER     TYPE REF TO IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL.
LV_INTERACTIVE_FORM ?= VIEW->GET_ELEMENT( 'INT_FORM' ). "   adobeform object in view
IF LV_INTERACTIVE_FORM IS NOT INITIAL.
      LV_METHOD_HANDLER ?= LV_INTERACTIVE_FORM->_METHOD_HANDLER.
      LV_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_LEGACY_EDITING_ENABLED( ABAP_TRUE ).
      LV_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_HIDE_NAVIGATION_PANEL( ABAP_TRUE ).
      LV_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_DISABLE_PRINT_BUTTON( ABAP_TRUE ).
      WD_THIS->M_METHOD_HANDLER ?= LV_INTERACTIVE_FORM->_METHOD_HANDLER.
      WD_THIS->M_METHOD_HANDLER->SET_HIDE_TOOLBARS( ABAP_TRUE ).
    ENDIF.
endmethod.

SMART FORMS- data from internal table issue

Hi ,
       I have a smart form in which I have to print three types of materials of Material Types say M1, M2 ,M3.
In the SMART FORM,Main Window, I have created 3 TABLES for 3 types of Materials ie,
           TableM1,
           TableM2,
           TableM3.
The internal tables to populate these TABLES are
( passing from Print program ).
            t_M1,
            t_M2,
            t_M3
The Number of FIELDS vary in all the tables ,thats why I have created 3 internal tables for Diff Material Types.
But only first TABLE is getting printed ie data inside TableM2, TableM3 are not getting printed.
Can any SMARTFORM Gurus please let me know how I can solve this issue.
Regards
Avi

Hi,
   Check whether you are mentioning any condition on the data. There are different possibilites of not getting printed. Like the way your displaying, data is in table.
Can you please clearly mention how did you populated the internal table and kept the logic to print the values in the table. So that it problem would be more clearly nown.

How to add external call from Report Painter

Hi experts,
I'm working on a report painter, and I need to do an external call, from the generated code.
add something like this    PERFORM Z_CALCULO_IMPORTE_COMPENSADO(ZCASS_FFMRBCS)
                                                                                USING CUR-TAB
Is there any way to do it without an SSCR key?
Thanks in advance

HI Pradeep,
Goto the transaction code (Change Report) GR32.
Give you library name and report name
And click on the column (application tool bar or F7) button then place the curser on the screen where you want column (please note you have to keep curser on the header section u2013Red column text) right click and insert element. Then you select formula as selection element and enter. You will get the enter formula box. Then you can type your formula and continue. This will add new column to the report.
How to enter formula: you can see the formula components in that id and description.
Id is columns that are present and description indicates explanation of that column.
Enter formula according your requirement.
Examples:
Enter formula screen:
ID :    des
X001 amount
X002 pt000
X003 test
1. Enter formula as: ( X001 u2013 X002)
The above formula is for fist column u2013 second column.
2. ( ( X001 u2013 X002) / X003) * 100
First column u2013 second column and devide by third column after that multiple with 100.
Hope this will help you
