Automatic serial no. generation in smartforms

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

i have to make some smartforms, in which there are so many texts appears,

no from 1,2 ,3,............................40.

Now sometimes i have to delete or add any of the texts, then to rearrange

the no. again in serial becomes a proble.

Let i have deleted text no. 20, now i have to change the numbering from

21 texts as 20 and so on, so i wants to know, is there anyway to

automate no. in texts in smartforms.

No such option available in standard SAP. But for some easiness if you have to change same thing several times then you can download the smartform in text mode and then do search replace and upload it. ]

Cheers,

Hi, Shweta Chouhan

first of all you need to create number range object (T-Code: SNRO), 

for more detail about it please read this "How to Create you own Number Range SNRO - ABAP Development - SCN Wiki"

Hi Shweta,

The feature you are looking for is not available and it does not make much sense too. An advice would be to Name the texts suitably as per their usage such that deletion would not affect your development and require additional naming effort. Ex -

Name the text box used for 'Page Numbers' as shown  instead of letting it be Text1 etc -

Hi Hai,

Shweta is not looking for what you have suggested. Please re read.

Hi Shweta,

i don't think we can do automatic numbering for texts in case of smartforms.

See if someone could help you in achieving your goal.

Hi Shweta,

I am not exactly getting your question! I believe you want to print the text as priority sequence? please elaborate!

Can you please paste a screen shot of how you want it to be...? what does these numbers signify

Hi Nabheet,

please see this screenshot, in which you can see that the texts are numbered , now if i will

delete any of the text , then for after texts i have to arrange it again.

So i wants to know about any other functionality for the same. Say i delete text no. 48,

then my 49th text will get automatic number as 48, and so on.

Its not that simple bit tricky. You will have to use READ_TEXT first. You will get all text. Then you loop at loop lt_LINES and read each line if it has number then modify it with whatever you want.

Where these texts should be displayed, are they part of a single text node ? How do you display it?

Hi Nabheet,

these are texts that i have written in text in smartforms, and are not called through any

function modules, i have so many texts in my smartforms, which i have used (already have written

in the text page).

So i wants to know, like we do in MS word, can i do it in smartforms too.

Hi Ankit,

these text are written in a text page in smartforms, are are shown mandatory, but the need is that

if any text should gets deleted, then can i use any options to renumber other texts in series

as we can perform in smartforms.

Hi Sweta,

in new release you can change your editor as in MS WORD,

and in this way , you can achieve this.

Sorry Shweta, this seems a feature you are looking in MS word in Smartforms....no experience.

Do Hit and trial.

One of the options can be if you dont have MS Word then create a SO10 text for the same and then read the text as mentioned in program and update.

Otherwise no direct method
