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,
Regards,
Bikash

E-recruitment 6.0 - Smart Form - 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: invitation) so that he can add some text manually if he likes.
This functionality is in E-R6.0 since SP7
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".

Smart form Text module translation and Standard text

Hi i have a requirement in smartforms in which i need to create text modules and transtale into diffrent languages.
I have created text modules they are in my transport,
when i am translating through SE63 into target language it is not asking for any transport request , Can any one help me regarding how i can assign Transaltion thing to my transport.
Another thing is i require to use standard text, i am not much aware of it also as per my understanding i need to create it through SO10 Transaction , and i can use it in include text please correct me if i am wrong, i need this standart text also in two language but while creating standard text it is not asking transport request, and how i would convert standard text in diff lang and how can i assign to my transport.
Surely i would provide points for the valid reply.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Gudia San,
To transport Standard text, use the standard Report Program <b>RSTXTRAN</b>, execute it, on the selection screen, enter your standard text name as
<b>Text key - name</b>, press F8, it will display a ouput list. Now press F5 key and it will ask for transport request number.

Abdul.

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)&

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.

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.

Module pool programs are created in abap development work bench (TCODE: SE80).
Here we can do all the works whatever you can do in abap.
Module pool programs are also called dialog programs.
The module Pool are reports prepared for different screens and to manage the sequence of events of these screens, in the transaction SE80 you can see all the dynpros that you have for this kind of report, add new ones, add all types of element to the report.
Process Before Output is the part of the dynpro code that is processed before the user can do anything with the data in the screen
Process After Input is the part of the dynpro code that is processed after the interaction with the user.
module pool programs are excuted using Tcodes

SAP Interactive Forms and SAP Smart Forms for Human Capital Management

Hi gurus,
pls help me understand what are SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe and SAP Smart Forms for Human Capital Management (HCM)?
regds
jack

read here
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/SAPInteractiveFormsbyAdobe#SAPInteractiveFormsbyAdobe-WhatarethedifferencesbetweenSmartFormsandAdobeForms%3F
What are the differences between Smart Forms and Adobe Forms?
For both of them, SAP dynamically creates a function module that must be called from an ABAP program to generate the form
In Smart Forms, it is possible to add ABAP code during generation of the form, that is not possible with Adobe Forms
It is possible to add javascript or FormCalc code in Adobe Forms, which is executed during the generation of the form
Other differences are indicated in Note 1009567 Functional differences SAP Interactive Forms/Smart Forms

Am using a standard smart form and a corresponding program.

hi
i am using a standard smart form and a corresponding program. i did evry possible thing but it is not executing..where could be the error.?
can any1 suggest

Hi,
Dude..!
you told that you created form and corresponding print program also....!
but you didn't mentioned what it is..! in the sense to which module..!
are you changing any standard form or what..! be clear while raising issue..! so that you can get your issue cleared..
and you have to assign your form and corresponding print program in NACE transaction for the given output type.
Thanks & regards,

Smart stlye where used list in smart form

hi friends
is there any to way to find where a particular style is used with in a sap system .

Hi,
Only a tedious one, I believe. Download the smartforms and text modules you want to search through to client in xml (I'm normally using this program: SAP Community Network Wiki - Code Gallery - Download Multiple Smart forms using XML_DOWNLOAD, it writes to c:\temp) and then use some tool (like Windows Explorer) to search for style name within xml files...
It is obviously hardly an adequate method (what if one needs to find the use of particular paragraph format) but it's the only one I know.
cheers

How to print BAR CODE in SAP SMART FORMS

Hi,
I want to print inspection lot's BAR CODE in the smart form, but i dont know the way how to print this into the smartform.
if anyone have any idea, please suggest me how to print this as it is urgent for me to complete the object.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Abnish Jain

Hello Abnish,
Welcome to SDN.
We are able to print barcodes from smartforms. Doing this way, we print barcodes on laser printers.
We are also printing from sap to zebra printers using two ways:
1. Download the data to an excel sheet, then creating a macro that opens the printer port and sending the commands to the printer through this "file". All this is done via vb script provided with excel)..
2. The second way is creating a vbscript (an ascii file from sap) with the printer commands and then runing it using ws_execute.
You need a barcode reader to read the barcodes, and this scanner acts like a keyboard, it sends the data scanned to the active field on screen. (which might be a notepad, word, excel or an input field or ... ).
From 4.6c on, you can use smartforms to print barcodes without buying any barcode.dll software nor hardware extention like Bardimm on any laser/inkjet printer (Please Note that I haven't mentioned Zebra printers here!). To do this, you have to create a smartstyle -> character format with the desired barcode font (defined within sap). Then in the smartform, create a window, put the field and associate it the character format. That's all (I mean, that's all we do at least :-). I think, you have to consider the barcode specifications before sending the barcode value to the smartform (Just an example, if you're using 3 of 9, the code should start and end with an asterisk - '*' -) We're printing an interleaved 2 out of 5 barcode in our invoices due to a legal requirement, and we did it this way.
3. If you have a barcode scanner, then you should not need reading the barcode into an ascii file to get the data read in an standard or custom screen field. You can read it directly to the field you want. (unless... you have complex data coded in the barcode - for example if you're using an ean-ucc 128 compliant code and you're sending several fields in a single code ... In this case, an interface is almost mandatory because you must interpret the data fields according to the ucc standard, split the code into several fields .... and .... pure programming logic ).
To put it clear: if you have to read, for example, a barcode that holds the legal number of an invoice using a barcode scanner and this number should be sent to migo-> bktxt then you don't need an interface. The scanner itself acts like a fast operator entering the characters using a keyboard and filling in the field.
We're reading barcodes in several places (when we finish each pallet, when we receive an invoice, and so on. Each case is a different screen. We arent using an ascii file to read these barcodes. Furthermore, we read the invoice legal number into migo bktxt field (Head Text).

regards,
kamal

Hi
               SAP SCRIPT
To create a logo in SAP printouts just do the following
1. Save a Logo using Imaging, Paint shop Pro or Corel Draw as Tiff file.
2. Run program RSTXLDMC and enter the following parameters
   Enter file name                     C:\COMPLOGO.TIF
   UOM                          CM
    Line width for text                132
    Text name                     ZHEX-MACRO-COMPLOGO
    Text ID                          ST
    Text language = E
    Number of Tiff gray levels (2,4,9) 2
3. Then Create a new window 'COMP' with attributes;
Window COMP description Company Logo
Left margin 7.00 CH window width 10.00 CH
Upper margin LN window height 8.00 LN
Finally in the text element, mention
        /: INCLUDE 'ZHEX-MACRO-COMPLOGO' OBJECT TEXT ID ST LANGUAGE 'E'.
Please note that if object name is not indicated as 'ZHEX... the logo may not be printed!
You will not be able to see the logo in a test print. The same will be printed in actual printout.

Problem while sending fax through a SAP Smart Form

Hi,
I am trying to send fax through a smartform but it is not working, please see the details below.
I am calling the Function Module "SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME" in a PAI event. After storing the FM name "/1BCDWB/SF00000029"in a local variable "ls_frm_name", I am using that for printing the Form and at the same time to fax out the same by passing the following export parameters.
control_parameters type ssfctrlop with values
la_ssfctrlop_struc-device      = 'TELEFAX'.
la_ssfctrlop_struc-no_dialog   = 'X'.
la_ssfctrlop_struc-langu       = ls_supplier_info-spras.
output_options type ssfcompop with values
ls_ssffaxop_struc-tdteleland   = ls_supplier_info-land1.
ls_ssffaxop_struc-tdtelenum    = lfa1-telfx.
ls_ssffaxop_struc-tdfaxuser    = syst-uname.
ls_ssffaxop_struc-tdnoprint    = 'X'.
along with "fax_details = ls_zap1_fax_details" declared as interface parameters to the Smart Form.
But the Function Module is throwing following exception and not sending any Fax.
SY-MSGID-->OL
SY-MSGNO-->356
SY-MSGV1-->NOAUTHORITYCHECK
Do I need to pass any other values to the FM, I felt that this is not an authorization problem after debugging.
Can any one please help me in handling this exception and send the fax,
Thanks,
Srinivas.

may it be that in those cases where it doesnt work, that you got no fax number?
Since it works soemtimes, it seems there are no errors, but rather in some cases some important info is missing, fax number may be one of thsoe important info in a FAX scenario.
