SMARTFORMS, any questions

Former Member — Tue, 13 Dec 2005 13:08:24 GMT

Hi all,

i must create a smartforms for my customer.

Quickly he want to select 1..N employee(s) in ALV grid, and when he click on one button, smartforms is launched, but my customer want to print every forms in one time, i.e each form comes following the other, in fact in a pool.

Any ideas ?

Hi,

Have the smartform developed, to which you pass all the selected employees in a internal table...

Loop on this internal table and display the relevant data for each employee... so, if 5 employees are selected(lets say its 2 pages for each employee), you get data for each employee one after other (in total 10 pages)

Raj

Hi,

Once user selects the customer which he want to print trap all the customer details in Internal table & then pass this internal table data to smart forms and also write the logic in smartforms layout that for each new customer trigger new page . with this you can print all the customer at once.

check any of the SAP created smartforms example :LB_BIL_INVOICE base on this you can write your logic.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks

Hi ,

In you program you can control While calling the form.

Please call smartform between Loop at end loop of your internal table.

Call you smart form in the loop.

Please make sure Dialog will be open once means program will ask for O/P device for Once.

Need help let me know. I have developed a form for HR records for employees and if user selects 'N' no.of enmloyees but form prints all in one shot. But printer will be asked only once and if you run this in back groud it will check user default printer.

Hope this will help.

Hi,

print forms in one spool work good, thank so much but i've a little problem. I want to suppress all output dialog windows, when user click on button i want directly to preview forms.

I've a internal table with employee number and i do that (simplified version) :

LOOP AT it_pernr_to_print INTO wa_simple.

PERFORM prepare_data.

PERFORM transfer_data_to_smartforms.

ENDLOOP.

FORM transfer_data_to_smartforms USING p_index

CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'

EXPORTING

formname = 'ZHR_PRF_SHEET'

VARIANT = ' '
DIRECT_CALL = ' '

IMPORTING

fm_name = fm_name

EXCEPTIONS

no_form = 1

no_function_module = 2

OTHERS = 3.

IF p_index EQ 1. " First call

ctrl_param-no_open = space.

ctrl_param-no_close = 'X'.

ctrl_param-NO_dialog = 'X'.

output_param-TDDEST = 'PRINTER'.

ELSEIF is_last EQ 'X'. " Last call

ctrl_param-no_open = 'X'.

ctrl_param-no_close = space.

ctrl_param-NO_dialog = 'X'.

output_param-TDDEST = 'PRINTER'.

ELSE.

ctrl_param-no_open = 'X'. " Nth call

ctrl_param-no_close = 'X'.

ctrl_param-NO_dialog = 'X'.

output_param-TDDEST = 'PRINTER'.

ENDIF.

CALL FUNCTION fm_name

EXPORTING

CONTROL_PARAMETERS = ctrl_param

OUTPUT_OPTIONS = output_param

personal_data = prfl_0002

since_data = since_data

init_edu_level = 'TEST'

init_edu_spe = 'TEST'

TABLES

it_language = it_lang

it_training_group = it_training

it_opc = it_opc

it_prc = it_prc

it_last_dev = it_last_dev.

ENDFORM.

With this code, output dialog always display.

Regards,
