smartforms generate a function module when executed , so they r client independent.

u can write the code in smartform itself.

SmartForms are Client Independent because when you activate them you are actually generating a Function Module. This means that the Print Programs actually call a FM instead of using the "OPEN_FORM", "WRITE_FORM" etc FM's that SAPscript use.

Hi,

SmartForms are client independent is because when you activate a SMartForm, SAP actually generates a Function Module (which as you know is client independent). The Print Program (or as SAP likes to refer to them these days - Application Program) calls your generated FM.

In the "smartforms" transaction, when you are viewing a smartform, you can go to the Environment->Function Module Name menu path to see the FM name.

Look at the "Application Program" for the Invoice SmartForm (RLB_INVOICE):

code

determine smartform function module for invoice

CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'

EXPORTING formname = lf_formname

variant = ' '

direct_call = ' '

IMPORTING fm_name = lf_fm_name

EXCEPTIONS no_form = 1

no_function_module = 2

OTHERS = 3.

....

call smartform invoice

CALL FUNCTION lf_fm_name

EXPORTING

archive_index = toa_dara

archive_parameters = arc_params

control_parameters = ls_control_param

mail_appl_obj =

mail_recipient = ls_recipient

mail_sender = ls_sender

output_options = ls_composer_param

user_settings = space

is_bil_invoice = ls_bil_invoice

is_nast = nast

is_repeat = repeat

importing document_output_info =

job_output_info =

job_output_options =

EXCEPTIONS formatting_error = 1

internal_error = 2

send_error = 3

user_canceled = 4

OTHERS = 5.

[/code]

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

vasavi.
