Hello,

I am new to smartforms area and I am hence putting forth a basic question.

I am just wondering which application will generally retreives the data and dumps it in to the smartform layout.

Does function module which gets generated read the data and populate the data in the form?? or

Another program reads the data and passes it to the function module which then processes and posts it to the layout.

Hope my question is clear.

Thanks,

In the initial screen of the smartforms transaction, after you have created and activated the form, at the menu bar, click smart forms -> Test. This will take you to the function module which will print the form.

Hello Rich,

Thanks for you reply. Just a clarification before awarding the points....

You mean to say that is the function module where we insert all our custom code for pulling the data.

In my shipping label smartform application I have a function module /1BCDWB/SF00000013 which got generated. Should I have to put my code in this function module for pulling the SHIP TO address for the smartform SHIPPING LABEL???

Thanks,

Naren

All the coding is done in the smartforms transaction. If you look under global definitions, under the form routines tab, here is where you can put some custom code.

I don't think that you are allow to change the code of the function module
