Former Member — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 12:46:24 GMT

Dear gurus

My smartform name is zretail_invoice

when executed it gives the function module /1BCDWB/SF00000005

in program i callef function ssf_function_module_name

CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'

EXPORTING

FORMNAME = 'ZRETAIL_INVOICE'

IMPORTING

FM_NAME = FM_NAME

EXCEPTIONS

NO_FORM = 1

NO_FUNCTION_MODULE = 2

OTHERS = 3 .

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

endif.

and again i called the function module /1BCDWB/SF00000005

but when i do changes in that it's not accepting...

let me help that

we need to use both the function modules ; i.e.the function module which is generated and SSF_function module also.

what are you trying to tell? i dint get you.

hi, I suggest you to make the changes in smartform transaction and not in the FM....

check this sample code to call the smartform

CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
    EXPORTING
      formname           = 'Z_BOOK'
    IMPORTING
      fm_name            = l_smart_name
    EXCEPTIONS
      no_form            = 1
      no_function_module = 2
      OTHERS             = 3.

  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID sy-msgid
    TYPE sy-msgty
    NUMBER sy-msgno
    WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
  ENDIF.

  CALL FUNCTION l_smart_name
    TABLES
      tab_smart        = it_table
    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.

when you call sencond function module instead of /1BCDWB/SF00000005 use variable FM_NAME.

i.e CALL FUNCTION FM_NAME.

Continue doing your changes in ZRETAIL_INVOICE using the transaction SMARTFORMS. Don't do the changes in /1BCDWB/SF00000005 because that's a MANDT dependant name, so when you later transport the order, the changes don't carry across.

In other words, there's no guarantee that in another mandt /1BCDWB/SF00000005 will still be called /1BCDWB/SF00000005, so there's no point in making changes to it. If you do the changes to ZRETAIL_INVOICE they will be shown in this mandt as /1BCDWB/SF00000005, but you don't know how they will be called when you transport it. That's why you need to call SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME in your code and call the smartform with the name resulting from that function call.
