The Following are the differences

  • Multiple page formats are possible in smartforms which is not the case in SAPScripts
  • 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.
    • Contributed by : SAP ABAP/4 Programming, Basis Administration, Configuration Hints and Tips
  • Unlike sapscripts (RSTXSCRP), you cannot upload/download Smartform to your local harddisk.

It was said that it was provided in CRM 3.0 version, but not available in R/3. You can download smartforms into Local PC in a XML format. In the same way you can upload this XML format into Smartform. From the smartform editor itself you can call download option, if you are working in CRM 3.0 environment.

In R3 also, you can download into XML format. However, it’s not sure about uploading. Refer to the program ‘SF_XSF_DEMO’.

In 4.7 Enterprise, other have seen this utlity which is completey missing in 4.6c. There is functionality to downlaod a complete form or only a particular node. (Utilities -> Download form). It will create a XML file and save it in the hard disk.

For others, if you want to download/upload the Smartforms source, you will need the help from the Basis people. What you can do is to create a Transport and then FTP down to your local harddisk. When you need the Smartform source in another system, you have FTP up the Smartforms file back to the SAP server. Finally, the Basis team, will tp it into your system.

The protect and endprotect command in sapscript doesn’t work with smartforms. For example on a invoice: First data of position no 80. is printed on page one, other data of position no 80 is printed on page 2. And there’s nothing you can do about it. Actually, there is something you can do about it. By using a folder node and checking the ‘protect’ checkbox, everything in that folder will be page protected.
FAQ on Migrating SAPscript to SmartForms Is it possible to migrate a SAPscript form to a Smart Form? Smart Forms provides a migration tool for this purpose which migrates layout and texts of a SAPscript form to a Smart Form. It does not migrate SAPscript form logic of the print program. Using Smart Forms, this logic is described by the tree structure of the Form Builder. The effort involved in migrating it depends on the complexity of the print program.

hi
I have to display multiple languages in same page in smartfroms
I have to display like

Customer Name: &kna1-name1&
<Customer Name in japaneese>
<Customer Name in Fench>
the output should be like
Customer Name: John Smith
Japaneese
french
The point is John Smith should be printed only in English
but ‘Customer Name’ should be in in english japaneese and french.
I am abel to copy and paste the japneese language from word sheet into text

elements but they are not getting displayed in the output.
Any help in this is greatly appreciated

I faces a similar problem but instead of using SAPScript text I used
Text Modules (which can be translated into different languages) and then
just set the Language field as a variable to the correct language. It
simplified the whole process as the Transport system will actually
transport Text Modules and the translations instead of having to
maintain the Standard Text in each system.

In TCode SMARTFORMS, click on the Text Module radio button, and enter
the name of the text module.
Enter your text in whatever language you are logged in as, save and
activate.

In TCode SE63 use menu path Translation –> R3 Enterprise –> Other Long
Text.
Select SSF (SAP Smart Forms) from the Popup box.
Enter the name of the Text Module, you created in the first step, into
the Object line.
Choose the Source language you created in and Target Language you what
to translate too.

Cut and past your text from Word and Save Active.

In the Smart Form use the Text Type ‘M’ Text Module. Enter the name of
the Text Module you created. Set the Language to be a variable and enter
the variable that holds which language you want to print in.

Hope this helps, and I find Text Modules much easier to work with then
SAPScript Text.
