Hi ,

There are two way through which you can convert sapscript into smartforms.

1.This is basically a function module, called FB_MIGRATE_FORM.

You can start this function module by hand (via SE37), or create a small ABAP which migrates all SAPscript forms automatically.

2.You can also do this one-by-one in transaction SMARTFORMS, under

Utilities -> Migrate SAPscript form.

You could also write a small batch program calling transaction SMARTFORMS and running the migration tool.

Note :

While Converting sapscript into smartforms,only layout has passed.But you have do all logic coding in your smartforms.

Migrating SAPscript Forms into smartforms:

Individual Migration

You can migrate a SAPscript form into a Smart Form and convert a SAPscript style into a Smart Style.

When converting a SAPscript style into a Smart Style, the system converts all paragraph and character formats with all their properties and attributes without any changes. Thus you can use the converted Smart Style without making any adaptations.

When migrating a SAPscript form into a Smart Form, the system executes the following steps:

It copies the language attributes and the output options.

It migrates the layout information including pages, windows, and their attributes and positions on the page.

It copies the texts in the form.

It displays the fields (SAPscript notation: program symbols) in the texts.

It converts the SAPscript commands (such as NEW-PAGE or IF…ENDIF) to comment lines and displays them in the texts.

After the migration, you have a template that you can enhance and modify according to your needs. Adapt the form logic by specifying the commands which the system converted to comment lines.

The system does not migrate the print program (data retrieval) or the form logic contained in the print program. You must make the required changes to the respective print program yourself.

Mass Migration

You can migrate any number of SAPscript forms in one go.

Procedure

*Mass Migration of SAPscript Forms

- In Reporting select the program SF_MIGRATE and execute it.

Select the names and the language of the SAPscript forms and choose Execute. The system creates the Smart Forms under the names of the SAPscript forms plus the extension _SF.
