ABAP in SapScript : syntax, data types, ... ?

[Former Member]

Hello,

Can someone tell me what are the biggest differences between regular ABAP and ABAP in SapScript? Like syntax rules, possible data types, and so on.

Thanks!

hi Dave,

There is no difference at all with the regular ABAP and ABAP in SAP Script ... i have a document on that ... give me your email ID to forward the same.

It is gsa_boddah@hotmail.com

Is it possible then to call a function module from SapScript? Or only with the PERFORM statement?

Thanks!

hi,

You can call any function module in your print or driver program. I have forwarded the document. Please find for the same

Ok, thanks for the answers.

Just one more question

Is it then also possible to create a SmartForm form (or Adobe Form) from within SapScript? I am looking for a workaround solution for correspondence in Training and Event Management. Only SapScript forms are possible, but if it is possible to create other forms with ABAP code in the SapScript, it could work, I think?

hi Dave,

You can convert Scripts to Smartforms in this way ... tcode SMARTFORMS, I think its menu Utilities you have an option.. Migrate Scripts to Smartforms.

Indeed, that is possible.

But the correspondence part in TEM only allows Sapscript forms in the SAP version I'm working with (ECC 5.0). So I am looking for workarounds so that Smartforms could still be used.

By calling a subroutine from within SapScript that in turn calls the smartform, this would be possible then, I think.
