An SAP Consultant: ABAP - Step by step tutorial on Smart Forms

Smart Forms are used to design print forms. ABAP programs are used to call Smartforms and spools are printed.

Step by step tutorial on Smart Forms

Step 1: Create Smart Form

Step 2: Define Smart Form interface.

You can define Importing parameters, Exporting Parameters or Tables.

Step 3: Insert Template Node

Use node type Template to display a table whose layout and size (number of lines and columns) is determined before the runtime of the print program.

Right click on Main Window and insert on Template node

Design template using Table Painter tool. Click on details button.

Define line type and number of columns for line and width of the columns

Display separator lines by clicking on Select Pattern button.

Insert six text symbols

Define variables to display data in text symbols

Define Template output structure. We need to set it for each text symbol.

Save and Activate Smartform.

Step 4: Develop ABAP Driver program to call Function module.

ABAP Program steps

When you activate, system generates one function module. Function module is not fixed.
Use SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME to get smartform function module name.

Call function module /1BCDWB/SF00000034.

ABAP Source code

REPORT zovh_simple_driver.

DATA:wa_p0001 TYPE p0001.

PARAMETERS:p_pernr TYPE pernr_d.
PARAMETERS :p_printr TYPE ssfcompop-tddest DEFAULT 'LP01'.

START-OF-SELECTION.

  SELECT SINGLE *
    FROM pa0001
    INTO wa_p0001
    WHERE  pernr EQ p_pernr
      AND begda LE sy-datum
      AND endda GE sy-datum.
  IF sy-datum EQ 0.
    DATA formname    TYPE tdsfname.
    DATA fm_name     TYPE rs38l_fnam.

    formname = 'ZOVH_SIMPLE_SMARTFORM'.
    CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
      EXPORTING
        formname           = formname
      IMPORTING
        fm_name            = fm_name
      EXCEPTIONS
        no_form            = 1
        no_function_module = 2.
    IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
      DATA control_parameters   TYPE ssfctrlop.
      DATA output_options       TYPE ssfcompop.

      control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.
      output_options-tddest = p_printr.
      CALL FUNCTION fm_name
        EXPORTING
          control_parameters = control_parameters
          output_options     = output_options
          giw_p0001          = wa_p0001
        EXCEPTIONS
          formatting_error   = 1
          internal_error     = 2
          send_error         = 3
          user_canceled      = 4.

    ENDIF.
  ENDIF.

Run the program.

thanks for this tutorial , kindly consider this error in the code "IF sy-datum EQ 0."
delete this statement since it make the output doesnt appear or you can replace it by IF sy-subrc EQ 0. (i guess that want u want)
