U probably have used in the driver program

Loop on ekpo / Item .

Call Smartform FM

Endlloop.

Hi Swapnika,

I think you might have used the below logic,

LOOP AT <item table> into <work area>.

CALL smartform FM.

ENDLOOP.

in this case you will have to give print preview many times (number of entries in your item table). consider using the below logic,

(previously you were using a script. hence there you would have looped the item table and called the main window inside the loop, because you cannot handle a table inside a script. But in case of smartform, you should not loop the item table and call the smartform, because you have an option to handle the tables inside the smartform)

instead of calling the FM inside a item table loop, since this is only for one EBELN, call the FM directly, dont call it inside a loop.

Now the importing parameter of the FM pass your item table and handle the item table inside your SMARTFORM by using a TABLE in the main window.

It means that instead of looping the item table you are going to pass it to the smartform and process it in there.

Please let me know for more details.

Hello Swapnika,

1.If you want the the smartform to get generated for each line item .Place the FM "SSF_*" in the loop of item table EKPO.

2.If you want the smartform to get generated after comeplete calulation of item values.Place the FM 'SSF_*" outside item table.

Why don't you just pass all the line items to the form and have a line break before each line item? In this way it'll be just one form call but you'll get as many pages as there are line items.

Hi,

As praveen and mithun said you can loop the item table and write a where condition based on the "SSF_" FM which will help you in triggering your item data multiple times in the NCAE.
