Simply look at the parameters of this function module via SE37.

Say i have a program in which I have called the smartform in direct method by using the function module generated.

Now if I change that smartform so much, sometimes a new function module will be generated. or if I delete that smartform and create a new one with same name, a new function module will be generated. Then I need to go and change all programs that call this smartform directly.

In the two step process, it is not necessary. Everytime the function module related to a smart form changes, the SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME fetches the latest. So we dont need to update our report programs each time we manipulate the smartform

CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'

EXPORTING

FORMNAME = '<form name>'

IMPORTING

FM_NAME = fm_name

EXCEPTIONS

NO_FORM = 1

NO_FUNCTION_MODULE = 2

OTHERS = 3.

Check this Smartforms steps document.

Hi,

try this:

DATA: FM_NAME TYPE RS38L_FNAM.

*

CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'

EXPORTING

• Your formular

<b> FORMNAME = 'Z_TEST'</b>

IMPORTING

FM_NAME = FM_NAME

EXCEPTIONS

NO_FORM = 1

NO_FUNCTION_MODULE = 2

OTHERS = 3.

CALL FUNCTION FM_NAME

EXPORTING

<b>* look in the FM via se37</b>

TABLES

<b>* look in the FM via se37</b>

EXCEPTIONS

FORMATTING_ERROR = 1

INTERNAL_ERROR = 2

SEND_ERROR = 3

USER_CANCELED = 4

OTHERS = 5.

*

Hope it helps.

hi

some more info about that function module.

Integrating the Smart Form into the Application

Use

You trigger form printing by calling only two function modules. The first module uses the name of the form to determine the name of the generated function module. Then you call this module.

The name of the generated function module is unique only within one system.

Therefore, you must always call the function module first that uses the form name to determine the current name of the generated module.

Prerequisites

You defined the form interface in your form and activated the form.

Procedure

1. In the Form Builder call the function Environment -> Name of the function module and use STRG-Y and STRG-C to copy its name.

2. In the data retrieval program define a variable of type rs281_fnam for the name of the generated function module:

data fm_name type rs38l_fnam.

You can call the Smart Form in other parts of the application program as well.

However, in this case you must make sure that the system can access the data to be passed from that place. We recommend to encapsulate the data retrieval in a

function module as well.

3. If desired, you can call the function module SSF_FIELD_LIST. It returns a list of the form parameters actually used in the form. You can use this information to limit data selection, if necessary.

4. Call function module SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME. It returns the name of the generated

function module:

CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'

EXPORTING

FORMNAME = '<form name>'

IMPORTING

FM_NAME = fm_name

EXCEPTIONS

NO_FORM = 1

NO_FUNCTION_MODULE = 2

OTHERS = 3.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

<error handling>

ENDIF.

5. Call the generated function module. To do this, use the Insert statement function for CALL FUNCTION in the ABAP Editor and use the name you copied in step 1. (to avoid having to copy all interface parameters manually). Then replace the function module name with the variable fm_name defined in step 2.

CALL FUNCTION fm_name

EXPORTING

• ARCHIVE_INDEX =

• ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS =

• CONTROL_PARAMETERS =

• MAIL_APPL_OBJ =

• MAIL_RECIPIENT =

• MAIL_SENDER =

• OUTPUT_OPTIONS =

• USER_SETTINGS = 'X'

G_CARRID = <variable>

G_CONNID = <variable>

G_FLDATE = <variable>

• IMPORTING

• DOCUMENT_OUTPUT_INFO =

• JOB_OUTPUT_INFO =

• JOB_OUTPUT_OPTIONS =

TABLES

GT_SBOOK = <internal table>

EXCEPTIONS

FORMATTING_ERROR = 1

INTERNAL_ERROR = 2

SEND_ERROR = 3

USER_CANCELED = 4

OTHERS = 5.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

<error handling>

ENDIF.

In this example, three variables and an internal table are passed. The parameters

G_CARRID, G_CONNID, G_FLDATA, and GT_SBOOK have been defined before in the form interface.

6. In the interface pass all data you want to transfer to the form.

Result

The generated function module processes the form logic defined in the Smart Form. Its output is sent to the printer spool for processing.

As long as you do not change the form interface, you can make any changes to the form. When you activate it again, the system generates the current version of the form as soon as you call the function module. Only if you change the form interface, you must adapt the interface in the data.
