Types Of Windows in Smartforms

There are mainly four types of Window in Smartforms :-

1. Main Window :-

  • Main window is the default window, which you will see each time you will create any smartform.
  • Main window is used for the continuous output such as table output. That means when you have continuous flow of data you can use main window, It will automtaically shift the data to next page, If the amount of data will increase.

2. Secondary Window :-

  • This window is mainly used to display the output for a fixed length.

  • For example, displaying output in form of template we can use secondary window.

    Note :- We should never use secondary window, if we have continuous flow of data.

3. Copies Window :-

  • It is also a kind of special secondary window which is used for making pages as copy or original.

4. Final Window :-

  • This window will process at the last of your smartform.
  • This window will get executed only when all your smartform process gets completed.

1. Practical Part on dynamic sizing of Main Window :-

  • Suppose, If I reduce the height of my main window, then what will I see.



    • We can see we have basically, 2 pages in the smartforms, where rest of my data of main window got shifted.

    Q. Can we have smartform without main window ?

    • Yes we can have a smartform, without a main window.
    • So, when you will delete any main window and will try to execute your smartform, you will see the below error.


    • To remove this, we will simply remove the next page, as there will not be any next page, If we don’t have main window.



    • Now activate it, and you will see no error.



2. Secondary Window :-

  • Secondary windows are mainly used for storing the static data.

  • We have already seen how we can use templates in secondary windows.



3. Copies Window :-

  • These windows are used to identify the original copy of a form and the repeatedly printed copies of the same form.
  • We will see how can we use this window to identify the original form and their copies.

Program Lines :-

  • These are use to write any logic or calculation in any window.

Implementing Copies Window :-

  • For this purpose, we can use system variable.

    • SFSY-COPYCOUNT to count the copy of smartform.




4. Final Window :-

  • Suppose, you want to display something on the smartform, when the entire processing gets completed.

    • Then, in that scenario we can use the Final window.

Understanding Different Types of SAP Function Modules: Normal, RFC, and Update

Image
  1. Normal/Regular Function Module :- It can be called inside the system. Here Pass by value + Pass by reference both is fine. 2. RFC Function Modules :- You can call from same system or from another possible. In RFC function module you can only have pass by value. In the same system if you are going to add the DESTINATION NONE’ while calling the RFC then it’ll be called in separate session. 3. UPDATE Function Modules :- This is generally used to update the database record. Update Function Module can be called from the same system. ( Background RFC / trfc / grfc ) This is used to achieve generally the SAP LUW. Some time we use from performance perspective also. When COMMIT WORK gets executed then Update starts getting executed. Important Questions on Update Function Modules :- When Update function Module gets Triggered ? ON COMMIT WORK IF a update function module gets failed, under which transaction we can see that ? OR What is the T-Code for moni

Unlocking SAP ABAP Secrets: Interactive Classical Reports with GET CURSOR, At User Command, and a Comparison of HIDE Statements

Image
 Welcome back everyone, We were discussing about the interactive classical reports, so let’s continue it. Interactive Classical Reports- GET CURSOR :- In Interactive Classical Reports, GET CURSOR statement is used to create secondary list according to cursor position. The parameter FIELD provides the name of an output field. The parameter VALUE provide the output value. Syntax : GET CURSOR FIELD <lv_field> VALUE <lv_value>. In the above syntax - the field name and field value will be returned in to variables lv_field and lv_value respectively. Requirement :- If you remember, In our last two blog, We have been displaying the order header table in a basic list and order item table in the secondary list. We have used SY-LISEL and HIDE statements to achieve the requirement. Now, we have to use the get CURSOR to achieve the same to same requirement. Code :- ************************************************************* *Start of Program *Declaring Strcutrure

Mastering ABAP: A Step-by-Step Guide to Function Modules and Groups for Modularized Programming

Image
  Function Modules :- It is a modularization technique. The transaction code to create a function module is SE37. To create a function module, we need to create a function group. Function Group :- Function group is a container for the function modules. The transaction code to create a function group is SE80. A function group can store up to 99 function modules. Requirement :- let’s create a function module for sum of two numbers. 1. Creation of function group :- Step 1 :- Go to SE80 transaction code → Object Navigator. Step 2 :- From the drop down select function group. Step 3 :- Give a name of function group. Step 4 :- press enter. Step 5 :- Click on yes a popup screen will appear. Step 6 :- Give short description → press enter → Assign package and transaction request and press enter. Step 7 :- Right click on function group and click on activate to activate the function group. Step 8 :- You will see two includes, will be added after ac
