Using alternative option in SMART forms

hi,
I have a quick question about using the alternative window in Smartforms.
When the condition mentioned is true, all the objects/windows under the true will be executed. However, when the condition is false nothing gets done. I would expect all the objexcts in the False category to get executed. Can anyone reason this out.
Regards,
Diwakar

the situation is as follows:
If v_x = 'Del' the title of the report needs to be as "Delivery Note", else it needs to be as "Invoice".
So, after coding the condition using the alternative option, i have placed two text elements each under true and false. If V_x is 'Del' i see the title delivery note in the report. however, if i chaneg the value of v_x, i am not able to see 'invoice ' as the title. The output is blank.

How to use address node in smart forms

hii all,
can any one tell me how to print the address usin the address node in smartforms....pls explain me in detail...
thank you.

Hi Neelima,
Create a Address Node to print the addres of particular object like vendor, customer, plant, company address etc...
for example vendor address
To Print the address, you need to declare a variable VENDOR_ADRNR TYPE ADRNR in Form interface Import Parameters.
Get the Vendor Address Number from LFA1 Table and pass the value to the form interface parameter when you call the smartform function module in the print program.
Pass this to Address number &VENDOR_ADRNR& in the address number field, then the system will get the address of the vendor automatically.

Amount in Words using SPELL_Amount in Arabic Smart-forms

I am facing the difficulty during the step in smartform printing. Client is to have a printout in Bi-lingual (english+arabic), Arabic is printing fine. The maintenance language of smartform is arabic.
Problem arises:
I am using the function SPELL_AMOUNT to get the "Amount in Words" of Gross Value. In the print preview and printout, "Amount is words" are appearing as jumbled. for example,
Gross Value 238,476.00 SAR
Expected Amount in Words Two Hundred Thirty-Eight Thousand Four hundred Seventy-Six.
Appearing Amount in Words Seventy-Six Two Hundred Thirty-Eight Thousand Four Hundred.
Waiting for your valuable inputs.

Hi,
Try the below code:
Pass the amount after Decimal to the Spell amount seperately and then concatenate the two parts of the amount.
For example : 30.60 USD
Store the amount in a character string. Split the string at decimal point using a SPLIT statement.
DATA: amount_total(10),
round(7),
dec_part(3).
DATA: dec(1) TYPE c VALUE '.',
amount_total = '30.69'.
SPLIT amount_total AT dec INTO round dec_part.
First pass variable 'round' to Spell_amount and then in the second call pass variable 'Dec_PART' and concatenate the two results.

sirisha.

Smart form where used list

Hi All,
I want to change a smart form interface, before that I have to know where used list of this smart form but I can't. Could any one tell me how I can see the where used list of smart form.
thanks in advance
chetan vishnoi

Hello,
the previous suggestions won't work because smartforms are usually used with a dynamic function call.
I have the following suggestions:
1) Go to SE37 and display the where-used list of function SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME. Now find the entries where input parameter FORMNAME equals the name of your smartform.
2) Change the interface of the smartform such that it is still compatible to the previous version, i.e. all new parameters are optional. If you want to change the type of a parameter, create a new parameter instead. You could then alter the coding in the following way:
IF NOT parameter_old IS INITIAL.
MESSAGE 'Interface has changed' TYPE 'E' RAISING ERROR_OCCURRED.
ENDIF.

Syntax for sum in Smart Form based on Selection criteria in Program.

Hi,
We have created smart form for printing confirmation entries in desired format. We have given some selection criteria in the program. Now, we want to do the sum of certain fields in the smart form based on selection criteria given in program and selection screen.
But we are getting wrong sum in the smart form than expected.
When we debug the program during run time, we are getting correct records as per our expectations. But result of sum in the out put is not as per given selection criteria.
Do we need to establish link between "select option" and "Smart form"? How can we use internal table created for select option in the smart form?
Thanks & regards
Vijay

Hi,
There will be no option to sum the values in smartforms, You just have to sum and append the data to internal table and display the internal table data in the form.

How to Print Digital Signature in Smart forms.

Hi Experts,
Any one please help me how to use digital signatures in SMARTFORMS.?
Which are the tables used to store digital signatures and please any one have any demo program which prints the the digital signature using smartforms kindly let me know.
Thanks,
Sunil kairam.

Hi Sunil,
After doing some research in sdn and other sources i found the following result...
Digital Signatures are nothing but graphics that we can store in SAP and use in our Smart Forms.
For Example you can create a .bmp file of your signatures, upload it via SE78, and then use it in your Smart Forms in your Footer Area as "Authorized Signatory".
The Logic in the Print Program can be something as follows -
1. Maintain a Z Table having fields like PLANT, FORMID (Name of the SmartForm), USERID.
2. Before calling the Form, the validation is made for the Logged in User with the Z Table created.
3. If the User Entry exists in the Z-Table, the Form is called and the Signature Image is displayed in the Footer Block i.e. the Authorized Signature.
4. If user entry does not exist in the Z-Table then the message is displayed "You are not the Authorized for Printing the Form" and exits the Transaction.

Text issue in Smart form

Hi All,
I have an Custom smart form, and under the pages and windows i have 2 Pages First Page and Next page.
The First Page next page is set as Next Page and the second page next page is also set as Next page.
Now when the Smart form is displayed in the PDF Format then only the first page Header comes in the proper way but the 2nd , 3rd and so on pages depending upon the data the Headers are all coming as an Junk text (Not some other language but the overlapping of characters).
The Header texts are all in the Table in the header field and also some texts are dynamically populated by the OTR and some are static.
I am not sure why is this happening can any one give me some inputs?
Regards,
Dipu

Exactly thats what i am using now but want to know whether is it possible by using TEXT instead of creating Graphics node.
In graphics we can use both .bmp as well as .tif files but not text.So what is the solution of using TEXT Ids in Smart forms.
Thanks for all your answers but still i didn't get the solution to my problem.

Chandra
