Hi,

It is a Report from which the script /Smartform is called.

It enables you to send some data to forms.

hi,

A Driver program is A SAP report program used to call SAPscript or SMARTFORMS. You can pass various values from the program to FORMs. It is also referred as Print Program.

Hi....

Read this....

When a user initiates a print request, R/3 executes an ABAP Driver

program, which calls the SAPscript subsystem and opens the

appropriate SAPscript form. The Driver program then passes the

application data, extracted from the R/3 database, to SAPscript by

calling the elements defined in the SAPscript form. SAPscript is

responsible for formatting the data output stream according to

instructions defined in the SAPscript form, as well as specific

commands issued by the Driver program.

Hope this information helps...

Thanks,

Hello There.

I would like to suggest my opinion,

Basic objectives of the Driver program,

1. Call the data necessary for printing.

2. Triggering the layout.

Hope that'll be fine.

Good Luck & Regards.

hi,

the driver program is explained as follows:

form printing is divided mainly into two parts:

1. form

2. driver program.

1.form means we can design the layout as per requirement and we can locate the place where we have to print what.

it may be script or smartform or adobe form.

2.coming to driver program the data selection from the database and calculation are done at the report level.

and the form which is designed is implicitely generate a function module .

that function module is called in this driver program.

so the output is generated from the program.

thanks

driver program - it is a program which is used to run the form for which it has been created.

eg: medruck is the form name and its driver program is sapmf02k

and this details u can view it in table tnapr.

and by executing the driven program it will lead to screen asking for input say for eg: give purchase order no: and after executing it

the purchase order would be printed with necessary outputs.

with regards
