DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SMARTFORMS AND SAPSCRIPTS ARE:

1).Smartforms are client independent and Sapscripts are client dependent.

2).Multiple page formats are possible in smartforms which is not the case in SAPScripts

3).It is possible to have a smartform without a main window .

4).Labels cannot be created in smartforms.

5).Routines can be written in smartforms tool.

6).Smartforms generates a function module when activated.

Functional spec is written by the fun consultants in the business/sap Language related to SAP functionality related to that particular module

A senior technical person can convert to Technical spec with tables etc

Found some more info here

Disadvantages,

1. Labels cannot be created in smartforms.

2. Routines can be written in smartforms tool.

3. Unlike sapscripts (RSTXSCRP), you cannot upload/download Smartform to your local harddisk.

4. The protect and endprotect command in sapscript doesn't work with smartforms. For example on a invoice: First data of position no 80. is printed on page one, other data of position no 80 is printed on page 2. And there's nothing you can do about it. Actually, there is something you can do about it. By using a folder node and checking the 'protect' checkbox, everything in that folder will be page protected.

Smartforms have all the functionalities of Sap Scripts. I found the following which cannot be achieved with smartforms.

1. Smart forms are client independent.

2. Lable printing software (for example BARTENDER) can be directly inserted into SAP Script thus enabling Scripts to print Lables. Smartforms do not recognise such code. So whenever you create a label you will need to start from scratch in smartforms.

Hope this will help u...

hi,

<b>the main diffarences between smart form and script form are:</b>

1) smart forms are clinent independent where as scripts are client dependent.

2) smart form require half the time to create and maintain forms compare with

script.

3) smart forms provide multiple page formats where as in script not possible

4) smart forms exisist without main window also where as in script not possible.

5) smart form is entairely graphical user interface comapre with script.

6) labeling is not possible in smart form where as it is possible in script.

7) smart form genarate function module whenver it activate where as script

doesn't genarate.

😎 smart form can easily web publishing using the genarated XML output compare

with script.

9) using smart forms we can design web forms but bot possible with script.

10) we can maintain background graphics in smartform wher as in script not

possible.

11) in smart form we use transaction codes SMARTFORM for designing FORM

and SMARTSTYLES to create differnt styles of text, where as in script we

use SE71 for form painter and SE72 for different styles of text and font.

12) we can migrate script to smart form vice-versa is not possible.

regards,

Ashokreddy.
