Hi Anil,

Difference between Smartform and SAP Script are:

-SCripts and Smartforms both are Language Dependent and CLIENT dependent

-We create Script Styles using SE72 Tcode.

-Both scripts and SF's are used to output the Outgoing documents of an Orgn.

-In SF there is a provision to write your own code where as in script you have to call sub routines.

-SF is more GUI friendly and is generated using a fun module

- Samrt form generated FM and thus client independent.

- Clored output posible in SF

- Tables and templates in SF

-. Different pages eg : first page could be portraite while second page cud be landscape in SF

-Styles could be maintained using smartstyles.

-script is client dependent whereas smartform is client independent

-less programing in smart form

-multiple page format is possible in smart form

-we can maintain background graphics in smartform

-scripts doesnot generate any funtional module where as smart form generates.

-multiple page format not allowed in scripts allowed in sf.

-labelling is possible in scripts not possible in sf.

- It is possible to have a smartform without a main window .

- Labels cannot be created in smartforms.

- Routines can be written in smartforms tool.

- Smartforms generates a function module when activated.
