Hello experts ,

I am very new to smartforms and while creating it,I am facing with following queries:

1. Can we use transparent tables in smartforms,

or do we need to use only structures in it.

2.If yes,how do we make and populate structures in SE11.

Please reply.

Thanks in advance,

Suchi.

Hi,

You just need to refer to a DDIC element while declaring data under a SMARTFORM and hence you can very well use Transparent Tabe or structure or even a Table type.

If you only want to create a Strucutre for SMARTFROM then better create a Table type...Stick to the basics that SMARTFROM is nothing but a Function Module

U should explain what "to use transparent table" means for you.

U need to consider that smartforms has an interface with import/export paramenters (just like fm): u can use dictionary table there in order to define a parameters.

U can insert some abap code into the smartform, here u can read (select) data from dictionary table just like in a normal abap program.

So the problem can be: which data have to be transfered by interface and which data have to be select from database.
