Changing an output type for SmartForms

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a picklist that I changed from SAPScript to SmartForm. I am trying to edit the output type EK00 to use the SmartForm. I am using V/38 to edit EK00 but I can't figure out the right properties. Right now I have the FM name (/1BCDWB/SF00000017) as the Layout Module, the SmartForm name (ZPCC_PICKLST_STD) as the SmartForm. Also, under Pricessing 1, I have the print program (ZRVADEK01), FORM routine as (SMARTFORM_PRINT) and Form as (ZPCC_PICKLST_STD). Is there anything else that I need to change? When I try to use EK00 it is still looking for a SAPScript instead of a SmartForm.

Regards,

Remove the entry in Layout Module and remove the entry under Form.

All you should need is the Smart Form and then under Processing 1 you need the Program and Form Routine.

Matt, thanks for the reply. I just tried what you posted and it still gives me an error. I get a popup that says "WRITE_FORM is invalid, OPEN_FORM is missing.

Could my problem be that the old SAPScript and the new SmartForm have the same name? Below is the configuration:

Layout Module: <b>nothing there</b>

SmartForm: <b>ZPCC_PICKLST_STD</b> (name of the smartform)

Processing 1:

Program: <b>ZRVADEK01</b>

FORM routine: <b>SMARTFORM_PRINT</b>

Regards,

Davis

EDIT: I do not have any SAPScript functions (open_form, close_form, etc...) in the print program. I took the preconfigured print program for SDPIK_L (preconfigured picklist) and added our custom logic.

When you go to V/38 and double click on EK00 are there any Programs or Form Routines filled in under the General Data tab?

[Former Member]

Matt, no there are not.

Hmmm... and your Program ZRVADEK01 has a Form called 'SMARTFORM_PRINT'?

And there is no mention of WRITE_FORM in ZRVADEK01?

[Former Member]

Matt, you are correct with both questions. I have SMARTFORM_PRINT in ZRVADEK01 and no mention of WRITE_FORM.

Matt, you pinpointed the problem. When I was copying the code from our old print program to the new one I overwrite most of the SMARTFORM_PRINT code and included WRITE_FORM.

I am going to edit the code and hope that it works.

Thanks for all of your help!

Hi Davis,

Please try this in transaction V/38.

Layout Module: nothing there

SmartForm: ZPCC_PICKLST_STD (name of the smartform)

Processing 1:

Program: ZRVADEK01

FORM routine: ENTRY

Ferry, do I use FORM routine: <b>Entry</b> or <b>SMARTFORM_PRINT</b>?

Hi Davis,

You need to use FORM routine: Entry.

This form routine will call form routine SMARTFORM_PRINT at the end after getting all the required data for smartform and perform user exits (if any).

Ferry,

His print program is ZRVADEK01 not SMARTFORM_PRINT.

Davis,

It seems like the norm is to use ENTRY for the Form Routine name, but I'm pretty sure you can call it whatever you want to.

Thanks to all for your help. All of this could have been avoided had I paid attention to my code a little more.

Thanks again for all the help,

Davis
