diff between sap scripts and smartforms

[Former Member]

hi,

What is the diffenrence between scripts and the smart forms

[Former Member]

scripts are clnt dependent

smart forms are clnt independent.

in order to generate script u have to make use of print program and form painter. Where as smart forms can generate function module. If u call th efm at run time it will generate smart form

we can not get color fonts in scripts. and w/o main window ther is no script.

we can obtain color fonts and even we can generate smart forms on colourful back grounds.

Some more differences:

we can create different output types like xml / html which are web enabled by smartforms but it is not possible with scripts

Different page formats are available in single smartforms, but in case of script we have to maintain same page layout.

Smartform itself having form routines, we can add our coding.

Output formating is very easy because of templates, tables are available

Hi,

sapscripts are clinet dependent. smartforms r independent.

sapscripts allows only black and white texts. smartforms'

texts can be written in various colors.

Sapscripts has repeated transfer of control. There is no

transfer of control b/w prg. and form in smartforms.

There is an option to print a mixture of portrait and

landscape format in smartforms. but this feature is not

available in sapscript.

Sapscripts allows more than one main window. Smartforms

allows only one main widown on pagge.

Text elements in sapscripts allow if..else, case..endcase,

etc.. commands but not smartforms.

pages and windows are defined separately and then combined

to form pagewindows in sapscripts. all windows are

automatically pagewindows in smartforms.

Windows are: main, var, const windows in sapscripts.

main, secondary, copies and final windows in smartforms.

with regards,
