Q. What are the differences between SAP Scripts and Smartforms?
A.
SAP Scripts are client dependent whereas Smartforms are client independent.
SAP Scripts require a driver program to display the output whereas in smartforms the form routines can be written so that it is standalone.
An integrated Form Builder helps to design Smartforms more easily than SAP Scripts
An Table Painter and Smartstyles to assist in building up the smartforms
On activation a function module is generated for Smartforms
It is possible to create a Smartform without a main window
Smartforms generates XML output which can be viewed through the web
Multiple page formats is possible in smartforms
Q. How can I insert symbols in Smartforms?
A. Select the Text node.
Change Editor (Click the button above Check near the Editor)
Go to menu Include->Characters->SAP Symbols
Choose the SAP symbol that you want to insert.
I have a smartform which works fine in DEV. After trasnsporting it to PROD, there is no Function module generated for this smartform. As a result my program dumps in PROD?
Q. The Smartform that is created in the Development may not have the same name in the Production server. So it is always advised to use the Function Module SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME to get the Function Module name by passing the Smartform name.
A.
Code:
DATA: fm_name TYPE rs38l_fnam.
CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
EXPORTING
formname = 'ZSMARTFORM'

Q. I would like to use a special font such as Frutiger-Roman, OCR-A or Arial. What must I do?
A.Note 606923 - FAQ: SAPscript/Smart Form: Fonts
Three different cases may apply here:
- Up to Release 46B, you can only activate the fonts that are pre-installed in the printer from R/3. It must therefore be possible to call the font using a a simple control sequence. If the required font is pre-installed on your printer with an additional module, for example, you can implement it quite easily into your R/3 System. The necessary procedure is described in note 12462.
- If the printer cannot print the font itself, you have the option of using device type SAPWIN (see note 21738). When using SAPWIN, the print formatting takes place in Windows instead of R/3. You can therefore access all fonts that are installed in Windows. The procedure is described in note 48803, based on the example of the OCRA font.
- Since Release 46C, you can use transaction SE73 and the 'Install True Type Font' button to load a TTF file into R/3 and print it on different printers. For more information, see note 201307. In this case, the font is added to the print data as a soft font. 40-200 kB, depending on the size of the TTF file per font. If you experience any problems, refer also to note 398646. For transport problems, refer to note 421518.

Q. What are the different types of windows in SAP Scripts?
A. Windows are defined in the Layout sets which define the position and the text to displayed.
The different types of windows are:
MAIN - Main Window
The main window is a continous window which can extend over several pages. If the text in the main window fills up a page, a new page is created.
Only one main window can be defined in the SAP Script whereas upto 100 instances of main window can be created in a page.
VAR - Variable Window
This window can have the variable contents displayed on them. The contents of the window cannot exceed the window size. The content can be formatted for each page.
CONST - Constant Window
The constant window can have a fixed content and is formatted only once.
Q. How can I format the date being displayed in the SAP Script?
A. The date fields in SAP Scripts can be formatted using the SET DATE MASK control command.
Eg.:
Code:
/: SET DATE MASK = 'MMMM DD, YY'
This displays the date as : September 26, 07
The following are the codes that can be used in the date mask:
YY Year (2 digits)
YYYY Year (4 Digits)
MM Month (2 Digits)
MMM Month Name (Abbreviated)
MMMM Month Name (Full)
DD Day as two digits
DDD Day name (Abbreviated)
DDDD Day name
Note! Using the SET DATE MASK causes the subsequent date fields to be displayed using the same formatting. To return to the default formatting use the following command:
Code:
/: SET DATE MASK = ' '
Q. How can I format the time in the SAP Script?
A. Similar to SET DATE MASK for date fields we can use SET TIME MASK for formatting time fields.
Eg.:
Code:
/: SET TIME MASK = 'HH hrs MM min SS sec'
This displays the time as : 11 hrs 43 min 37 sec'
The following are the codes that can be used in the time mask:HH Hours
MM Minutes
SS Seconds
The time formatting can be reset to the default setting using:
Code:
/: SET TIME MASK = ' '
Q. How can I apply shading for the BOXes in SAP Script?
Use the addition INTENSITY in the BOX command to apply gray shading to the boxes.
Eg:
Code:
BOX XPOS '0' CM YPOS '0.5' CM FRAME 8 TW INTENSITY 10
Q. What is the difference between the SAP Script texts, 'Customer &KNA1-KUNNR&' and '&Customer KNA1-KUNNR&'?
A.
In the first case of 'Customer : &KNA1-KUNNR&',
the text 'Customer : ' is displayed regardless of the variable KNA1-KUNNR even if it is having Initial value.
In the second case of '&Customer : KNA1-KUNNR&',
The text 'Customer :' and KNA1-KUNNR is displayed only when the variable KNA1-KUNNR has non-initial values.
Q. How can I change the page size of the layout?
A. In the SAP Script, Goto -> Header -> Basic Settings
Here you could configure the page settings and their orientation.
Q. How can I set the header and footer in the main window?
A. The TOP...ENDTOP and BOTTOM...ENDBOTTOM commands are used to set the header and footer texts in the main window respectively.
These texts will be displayed on the start and end of every new page in the output.
To disable these texts enclose empty commands between the commands.
Eg.:
Code:
/: TOP
/: ENDTOP
Q. What the conditional statements used in SAP Scripts?
A. The following conditional statements are used in SAP Scripts:
Code:
IF..ELSE...ENDIF

Code:
/: POSITION XORIGIN YORIGIN WINDOW PAGE
Eg.:
Code:
/: POSITION XORIGIN '2' CM YORIGIN '-1.5' CM
Similarly the SIZE command sets the width and height parameters.
Code:
/: SIZE WIDTH HEIGHT WINDOW PAGE

{logic to use program variable input_x and input_y to set say program variable output_z}
You can debug a SAPScript: Use Tools - Word Processing - Layout Set. Enter name of layout set and then Utilities - Activate Debugger.
A further note to the tip above was provided by John Verbestel: It is of no consequence which layoutset you enter when selecting the SAPscript debugger. (Menu path: Tools-Wordprocessing - Forms, Utilities - Activate Debugger) The next layoutset called will invoke the debugger. This is quite handy when verifying which layoutset is being called (Verifying customizing settings).
Another way to set the SAPScript debugger is to run program RSTXDBUG. Thanks to Amanda for this tip.
