A Simple Smartform Tutorial

SAP Smartforms can be used for creating and maintaining forms for mass printing in SAP
Systems. The output medium for Smartforms support printer, fax, e-mail, or the Internet (by
using the generated XML output).
According to SAP, you need neither have any programming knowledge nor use a Script
language to adapt standard forms. However, basic ABAP programming skills are required
only in special cases (for example, to call a function module you created or for complex and
extensive conditions).
1. Create a new smartforms
Transaction code SMARTFORMS
Create new smartforms call ZSMART
2. Define looping process for internal table
Pages and windows

First Page -> Header Window (Cursor at First Page then click Edit -> Node ->
Create)
Here, you can specify your title and page numbering
&SFSY-PAGE& (Page 1) of &SFSY-FORMPAGES(Z4.0)& (Total Page)

Main windows -> TABLE -> DATA

In the Loop section, tick Internal table and fill in

ITAB1 (table in ABAP SMARTFORM calling function) INTO ITAB2

3. Define table in smartforms

Global settings :
Form interface
Variable name Type assignment Reference type
ITAB1
TYPE
Table Structure
Global definitions
Variable name Type assignment Reference type
ITAB2
TYPE
Table Structure
4. To display the data in the form
Make used of the Table Painter and declare the Line Type in Tabstrips Table
e.g. HD_GEN for printing header details,
IT_GEN for printing data details.
You have to specify the Line Type in your Text elements in the Tabstrips Output options.
Tick the New Line and specify the Line Type for outputting the data.
Declare your output fields in Text elements
Tabstrips - Output Options
For different fonts use this Style : IDWTCERTSTYLE
For Quantity or Amout you can used this variable &GS_ITAB-AMOUNT(12.2)&

5. Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program

REPORT ZSMARTFORM.
* Calling SMARTFORMS from your ABAP program.
* Collecting all the table data in your program, and pass once to SMARTFORMS
* SMARTFORMS
* Declare your table type in :* Global Settings -> Form Interface
* Global Definintions -> Global Data
* Main Window -> Table -> DATA

Additional Fonts for your SMARTFORMS

You can create additional fonts and style with transaction SMARTSTYLES
This can then be define in the paragraph and character formats, which you can then be assign
to texts and fields in the Smart Form.
The character formats includes effects such as superscript, subscript, barcode and font
attributes
