Hi,

What is the purpose of calling this function?

Looks like this takes the SMART Forms name as input and gives the output of the SMART Form in a XML format.

So, do you require something in a XML format?

Hi,

This function is going to produce a XML of a existing SMART Form. I don't there is any way of creating and executing a SMART Form on the fly.

You need to design the Windows / pages etc at design time.

You cannot create a SMART Form dynamically.

Hi Ravi,

I wanna create a SystemAction ,which can create a PDF corresponding my BSP-page. So i need a according SmartForm. If i cannot create a SMART Form dynamically, Okay i predefine a Smartform , can i modify it dynamically?

No You cannot.

You can only execute by passing the parameters.

However, you can design your SMART Form in such a way that parts of it will get executed upon satisfying specific conditions. SO, depending on the parameter values, you can make a WINDOW / PAGE appear / disappear.
