madhusudhanph1,

1) Scripts are Client Dependent and smart forms are client independent.

2) There is only one main Window in Smart form but in scripts you have 99 windows.

3) You cannot define a Line type in Script but you can do that in smart forms.

4) Smart forms internally gets generated as Function Module where as scripts internally gets generated as text elements.

5) Maintenance in smart forms is much easier compared to scripts in project life cycle.

There a lot of other differences as well, recommend you to go through the below thread to gain the knowledge.

SCRIPT Vs SMARTFORMS

SAPscript doesn't have color as standard, Smart Form has color.

If there are 6 differences, which one should be removed? And what if there are even more differences?

Hi Madhu

1) In sap script we can not develop code but in Smart forms we can develop the code.

2) we can convert script to smart forms but vice -versa is not possible.

3) By using RSTXDBUG strd program we can debug the script but by using static break point we can debug the smart forms.

4) Paragraph and character format is not reusable in script but in smart forms it is reusable.

5) without main window we can not create script but it is possible to design smart form with out main window.
