3. 2 Componets(Print program and LAyoutset)

Smartforms:

1.Client Independent.

SAP Scripts is the old tool and SMART FOrm is the new tool to develop and print business documents.

SMART Forms are more GUI oreiented and you can do lot of things just by dragging and dropping. SAP SCripts are more code oreiented.

Hi harpreet,

1. Can anyone tell me the difference between sapscript and smartforms

some practical differences are :

<b>*----

---

One main difference which is

visibility in the report is TABLES

(in sapscript we cannot design MATRIX like tables,

having grid lines,

but in smartforms, it is much possible to

design tables, having grid lines, color just

like excel table)</b>

a) sapscript requires

- driver program (se38 program)

- layout (se71 layout)

smartforms just require

smartform,

(and a program is just required for

selection screen purpose)

b) the logic of printing (ie. sequence, flow)

is CONTROLLED BY drier program,

in case of sapscript.

where as in smartform, it is inbuilt using TABLES element.

c) In sapscript we cannot write our own logic for printing.

where as in smartform,

we can write our own logic for pritning.

(we can even write SELECT Statements, DATA statements,

and many program lines + logic to suit our requirements)

2 Which we have to use

If we are copying some standard sapscript,

then we have to go for sapscript only.

We can use both. but practically smartforms is easier to

develop.

amit m.
