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 ZSMART2. 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 * * Written by : SAP Hints and Tips on Configuration and ABAP/4 Programming * http://sapr3.tripod.com * TABLES: MKPF. DATA: FM_NAME TYPE RS38L_FNAM. DATA: BEGIN OF INT_MKPF OCCURS 0. INCLUDE STRUCTURE MKPF. DATA: END OF INT_MKPF. SELECT-OPTIONS S_MBLNR FOR MKPF-MBLNR MEMORY ID 001. SELECT * FROM MKPF WHERE MBLNR IN S_MBLNR. MOVE-CORRESPONDING MKPF TO INT_MKPF. APPEND INT_MKPF. ENDSELECT. * At the end of your program. * Passing data to SMARTFORMS call function 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' exporting formname = 'ZSMARTFORM' * VARIANT = ' ' * DIRECT_CALL = ' ' IMPORTING FM_NAME = FM_NAME EXCEPTIONS NO_FORM = 1 NO_FUNCTION_MODULE = 2 OTHERS = 3. if sy-subrc 0. WRITE: / 'ERROR 1'. * MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO * WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4. endif. call function FM_NAME * EXPORTING * ARCHIVE_INDEX = * ARCHIVE_INDEX_TAB = * ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS = * CONTROL_PARAMETERS = * MAIL_APPL_OBJ = * MAIL_RECIPIENT = * MAIL_SENDER = * OUTPUT_OPTIONS = * USER_SETTINGS = 'X' * IMPORTING * DOCUMENT_OUTPUT_INFO = * JOB_OUTPUT_INFO = * JOB_OUTPUT_OPTIONS = TABLES GS_MKPF = INT_MKPF 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. 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
