Smartforms are linked to transactions via message control, they need a driver program which passes data to the generated function module. So often the "test" button on smartforms transaction is not useful to see the output as the function module would need data to run.

I would suggest you to find out the driver program / message control setup for the smartform and then drive it through the transaction printing functionality. For example, print invoice via VF03

Hi ,

In order view the output of the form/preview,

Execute the Form -F8

You will see the Function module Again Execute.

you will then see a screen where there is a print option and print preview option.

Click on print preview to just check the preview..

Thank you
