Hi

go through this:

How to create a New smartfrom, it is having step by step procedure

http://sap.niraj.tripod.com/id67.html

Here is the procedure

1. Create a new smartforms

Transaction code SMARTFORMS

Create new smartforms call ZSMART

2. Define looping process for internal table

Pages and windows

First Page -> Header Window (Cursor at First Page then click Edit -> Node -> Create)

Here, you can specify your title and page numbering

&SFSY-PAGE& (Page 1) of &SFSY-FORMPAGES(Z4.0)& (Total Page)

Main windows -> TABLE -> DATA

In the Loop section, tick Internal table and fill in

ITAB1 (table in ABAP SMARTFORM calling function) INTO ITAB2

3. Define table in smartforms

Global settings :

Form interface

Variable name Type assignment Reference type

ITAB1 TYPE Table Structure

Global definitions

Variable name Type assignment Reference type

ITAB2 TYPE Table Structure

4. To display the data in the form

Make used of the Table Painter and declare the Line Type in Tabstrips Table

e.g. HD_GEN for printing header details,

IT_GEN for printing data details.

You have to specify the Line Type in your Text elements in the Tabstrips Output options.

Tick the New Line and specify the Line Type for outputting the data.

Declare your output fields in Text elements

Tabstrips - Output Options

For different fonts use this Style : IDWTCERTSTYLE

For Quantity or Amout you can used this variable &GS_ITAB-AMOUNT(12.2)&

5. Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program

REPORT ZSMARTFORM.

  • Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program.

  • Collecting all the table data in your program, and pass once to SMARTFORMS

  • SMARTFORMS

  • Declare your table type in :-

  • Global Settings -> Form Interface

  • Global Definintions -> Global Data

  • Main Window -> Table -> DATA

  • Written by : SAP Hints and Tips on Configuration and ABAP/4 Programming

  • http://sapr3.tripod.com

TABLES: MKPF.

DATA: FM_NAME TYPE RS38L_FNAM.

DATA: BEGIN OF INT_MKPF OCCURS 0.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE MKPF.

DATA: END OF INT_MKPF.

SELECT-OPTIONS S_MBLNR FOR MKPF-MBLNR MEMORY ID 001.

SELECT * FROM MKPF WHERE MBLNR IN S_MBLNR.

MOVE-CORRESPONDING MKPF TO INT_MKPF.

APPEND INT_MKPF.

ENDSELECT.

  • At the end of your program.

  • Passing data to SMARTFORMS

call function 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'

exporting

formname = 'ZSMARTFORM'

  • VARIANT = ' '

  • DIRECT_CALL = ' '

IMPORTING

FM_NAME = FM_NAME

NO_FORM = 1

NO_FUNCTION_MODULE = 2

OTHERS = 3.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

WRITE: / 'ERROR 1'.

  • MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

  • WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

endif.

call function FM_NAME

hi

good

Calling the function modules SSF_OPEN and SSF_CLOSE to monitor print jobs Change your application programs to the new function modules FP_JOB_OPEN and FP_JOB_CLOSE. If you do not adjust your application program, but activate Switch Runtime instead, the system still guarantees that the output works. The output parameters are included, for example. However, the forms are not (necessarily) included in a spool job; other forms can also be interspersed. A mixture of Smart Forms and PDF-based forms cannot be included in the same job.
