Migrating SAPscript print program to Smartform

[Former Member]

hello everyone,

Requirement is to print transfer orders. Current functionality supports SAPscripts and its print program. Since we are going to be using Smartforms, I need to change the print program so that it calls the custom smartform created by me.

Can anybody help me out by telling me a step-by-step process as to WHERE and WHAT changes I can do in the SAPscript print program so that I can use it for my Smartform?

The SAPscript print program that needs to be changed is: RLVSDR40.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Fred.

Hi Ravi,

I am not able to view the forum thread link that you posted. The other two links talk about migrating the Sapscript FORM not the PRINT PROGRAM.

I am looking to make changes in the sapscript print program to use it for Smartforms.

Thanx.

Regards,

Fred.

Hi Fred,

The system does not migrate the print program (data retrieval) or the form logic contained in the print program. You must make the required changes to the respective print program yourself. PL take a look at the following

Hi,

From the layout provided to you you will have to first find out the elements from the script that is printing the output. Then in the print program search for those elements. This is possible only by debugging the print program. Then move those values into a final internal table and [pass the same into the smartform. There will be many elemnets which will not be of use. Also remember to remove ll Start_form, Open_form etc before executing your smartform.

Why do you guys use Smartforms instead of Adobe forms? Why would anybody invest his time into something what will go out of support in few years and not invest in something fancy, quick and easy? Have a look at adobe forms instead of smartforms.
