Hi,

Go to the following link which explains step by step with screen shots on creating a smartform.you can easily understand and create the form on your own.

http://smoschid.tripod.com/How_to_do_things_in_SAP/How_To_Build_SMARTFORMS/How_To_Build_SMARTFORMS.html

1. Create a new smartforms

Transaction code SMARTFORMS

Create new smartforms call ZSMART

2. Define looping process for internal table

Pages and windows

First Page -> Header Window (Cursor at First Page then click Edit -> Node -> Create)

Here, you can specify your title and page numbering

&SFSY-PAGE& (Page 1) of &SFSY-FORMPAGES(Z4.0)& (Total Page)

Main windows -> TABLE -> DATA

In the Loop section, tick Internal table and fill in

ITAB1 (table in ABAP SMARTFORM calling function) INTO ITAB2

3. Define table in smartforms

Global settings :

Form interface

Variable name Type assignment Reference type

ITAB1 TYPE Table Structure

Global definitions

Variable name Type assignment Reference type

ITAB2 TYPE Table Structure

4. To display the data in the form

Make used of the Table Painter and declare the Line Type in Tabstrips Table

e.g. HD_GEN for printing header details,

IT_GEN for printing data details.

You have to specify the Line Type in your Text elements in the Tabstrips Output options.

Tick the New Line and specify the Line Type for outputting the data.

Declare your output fields in Text elements

Tabstrips - Output Options

For different fonts use this Style : IDWTCERTSTYLE

For Quantity or Amout you can used this variable &GS_ITAB-AMOUNT(12.2)&

5. Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program

REPORT ZSMARTFORM.

Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program.

Collecting all the table data in your program, and pass once to SMARTFORMS

SMARTFORMS

Declare your table type in :-

Global Settings -> Form Interface

Global Definintions -> Global Data

Main Window -> Table -> DATA

Written by : SAP Hints and Tips on Configuration and ABAP/4 Programming

http://sapr3.tripod.com

TABLES: MKPF.

DATA: FM_NAME TYPE RS38L_FNAM.

DATA: BEGIN OF INT_MKPF OCCURS 0.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE MKPF.

DATA: END OF INT_MKPF.

SELECT-OPTIONS S_MBLNR FOR MKPF-MBLNR MEMORY ID 001.

SELECT * FROM MKPF WHERE MBLNR IN S_MBLNR.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING MKPF TO INT_MKPF.

APPEND INT_MKPF.

ENDSELECT.

At the end of your program.

Passing data to SMARTFORMS

call function 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'

exporting

formname = 'ZSMARTFORM'

VARIANT = ' '

DIRECT_CALL = ' '

IMPORTING

FM_NAME = FM_NAME

SAP Smart Forms allow us to execute simple modifications to the form and in the form logic by using simple

graphical tools; in 90% of all cases, this won't include any programming effort. To print a form, you need a

program for data retrieval and a Smart Form that contains the entire from logic. As data retrieval and form

logic are separated, you must only adapt the Smart Form if changes to the form logic are necessary. For the

purpose of demonstrating the power and download capabilities of Smart form, I have created a Smart from

named ZSMARTFORM_SWAR.

Creation of SMART FORM:

From SAP R/3 release 4.6C onwards, SAP has come up with the concept of SMART FORMS. Prior to SAP

R/3 4.6C, Sap Scripts were being used for mass printing. To create a smart form, execute the transaction

u201CSMART FORMSu201D. Provide u201CZSMARTFORM_SWARu201D as the name of the Smart form. Select u201CCreateu201D.

When you create a Smart Form, the tree structure of the Form Painter already contains two root nodes:

u2022 Global setting

u2022 Pages and Windows

Global Setting

The node Global Settings as well as its three successors Form attributes, Form interface, and Global

definitions always exist for any newly created forms.

Form attributes

Here you need to provide the description for the smart form. In this case, the description is u201CCreate and

Download SMART FORM to PDFu201D. Here, there is a provision to specify whether the Smart form can be

translated to other languages in future.

Form Interface

In Form Interface, you can specify the parameters that would be imported and exported to Smart form. In this

case, I have imported two parameters u201CMYDATEu201D and u201CREASONu201D. In this case, there are no Export

parameters and Tables. These can be used if we intent to pass information from Smart forms to the ABAP

program. There are few standard import and export parameters that can be used depending on the

functionality.

Pages and windows:

A form can consist of pages, output areas, addresses, graphics (such as company logo), and data or text

contents. Within an output area, we can use static or dynamic tables to display data or texts in lines, columns,

or cells. To further structure and format text and data, we can use paragraphs with the paragraph and

character formats. SAP calls output areas "windows". We can position windows freely on a page. On a page,

there are two different types of output areas for texts and data: the main window and the sub window.

Graphics:

In the Form Builder we describe a Smart Form by a set of nodes. To do this, you build up a tree structure on

the left side of the user interface. On the user Interface, specify the name, object and Id of the bitmap image

to be placed on the Smart form.

Main window

On a page, there are two different types of output areas for texts and data: the main window and the sub

window. In a main window you display text and data, which can cover several pages (flow text). As soon as a

main window is completely filled with text and data, the system continues displaying the text in the main

window of the next page. It automatically triggers the page break.

Downloading Smart Form to PDF from Application

You can pass data retrieved from the application to the Smart form using the Form Interface. The data could

also include the data retrieved from database tables. In addition, you can define exceptions to which the

application program must react. You trigger form printing by calling only two function modules. The first

module uses the name of the form to determine the name of the generated function module. Then you call

this Smart form.

Call function module SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME. It returns the name of the generated function

module. Call the generated function module. To do this, use the Insert statement function for CALL

FUNCTION in the ABAP Editor. Then replace the function module name with the variable FM_NAME. Set the

u2018GETOTFu2019 parameter to u2018Xu2019 and pass it to CONTROL_PARAMETERS. The function module would export the

Smart form to an internal table u2018T_OTFDATAu2019.

Call the function module u2018CONVERT_OTFu2019 to convert the smart form to PDF format. The function module

returns the size of downloaded file. Using u2018WS_DOWNLOADu2019 function module, you can download the Smart

form to a PDF file in the required directory.
