Calling Smartform into our Driver Program

• Whenever we execute our smartform, As we can see, it directly navigates to the SE37 ( function Builder : initial screen ).

  
  
  

  
  

• So, for our each smartform, SAP will automatically create a function module at the runtime.

Note :-

• If you change the contents of the smartform, then it is possible that the name of the function module may change at the runtime, so it is not a good practice to use the same function module of the smartform every time.

---

Calling Our Employee Details Smartform to our Driver Program :-

• Step 1 :- Create a executable program in ABAP Editor ( SE38 ) transaction code.

• Step 2 :- Since, we are passing employee id as an input to our smartform so, for that we will create a parameter for the same.

  
  
  

  
  

• Step 3 :- Since, we have already discussed that for our smartform, SAP automatically creates a function module, so we can use it directly in our program.

Execute the Program :-

• Press F8 to execute the code and pass employee number = 103 as input and press f8.

How can we know the name of our function module using the name of the smartform ?

• It is possible that someone can ask you that how can I know the name of my function module, if I have the name of smartform.

• For knowing the name of the function module, we use

  SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME

  
  
  

  
  

  • Here, using FM_NAME we can import the name of our function module.
  • and we can pass it instead of the function module for our smartform.
