Smart Forms Basics

Former Member — Fri, 24 Mar 2006 12:02:15 GMT

Hi Folks,

I am new to smartforms, just i am learning.

I had an issue , if anybody provides me guide lines i would b gr8ful.

I started by converting a script to smart form to know the flow of Sform.

i had used in one of the window a global variablewhich was available in corresponding driver program.

& itab-v1&.

But i am getting error when i want to activate the newly created ( which is migrated from script) like

FIELD &itab-v1& is unknown..

How to rectify the error..even i created an output type for this sform.

please advise.

Thanks

Raja.

Raja

is the type of field is of type "quantity" or "currency"?

if so define that field in the global definition section, in the tab currency/quantity. fields. if that is not the case, just give some more description about ur objective and error type

note: if itz useful award points

Hi,

U should define the itab in global variables and to use it in the text editor.

Click on the Field list on/off button next to form painter.u will get a box where u click on global variables there u will find your internal table click on that and u will get the fields in the table just select the required field (ex:itab-v1) and drag it into the text editor.

hope this helps,

priya.

Hi,

If you want to use the v1 from itab in smartforms from the driver program,just pass the table parameter = itab while calling the smartforms.

For migrating from script to smartform,check this link.

Hi Raja,

I suppose your requirement goes like this.

Your are selecting the values from Z-table into an int.table itab and using a structure to display the values in smartforms.

In that case, this is how you have to proceed.

In the tables tab of Form Interface ,

define

ITAB TYPE Z-table.

In the Global data tab of Global definitions,

define

GTAB type z-table .

Now a work area is created.

Now you can create a loop from ITAB to GTAB.

Now you can make the text elements as GTAB-value.

Hope your query is solved.

Regards,

Sylendra.

HI Raja,

check for the consistency of the field defined in the global data itself....
