Hello,

I am a beginner in abap and I want to create a forms for printing that contains in its first page a text, and in the rest of the pages: data in the form of a table with the header which is repeated in each page.

But I do not know what to choose between smartforms and sapscript. what is the right choice for beginners who meets this need and who is easy to develop.

regards.

...etc

each one have their own advantage but for me i find it easier to use smartform over sapscript (maybe because i didnt use sapscript usually). anw, you can look at this thread:

SmartForms is a newer functionality, and should be preferred over SapScript by default.

Correct. Only use SAPScript when forced to because that's how SAP have chosen to do the output documents in that area.

Smartforms are easier anyway!
