Documentation

Definition

You use text nodes to display texts within a form window. SAP Smart Forms knows four different text types: Text elements, text modules, include texts, and dynamic texts.

The text can either be defined as a text element within the node or refer to a text module as reference text. In addition, you can display include texts that have been created as SAPscript texts.

Dynamic texts can be passed directly from the form interface to the form. These texts consist of text lines only (without text headers) and have to conform with the table type TSFTEXT.

Use

You use text nodes to display texts within form windows. Smart Forms knows three different text types: text elements, include texts, table lines.

The text can either be defined in the node itself as text element or refer to a text module as include text. And you can display individual symbols or a set of symbols in table lines (table line output).

Use

Within a loop for data retrieval, you must specify at least the table name and, optionally, an output area with assignment type (INTO or ASSIGNING). If no output area is specified, the system uses the header line of the internal table as work area instead of an explicitly specified work area.

With ASSIGNING, the field symbol specified in the work area points to the selected entry, which means that there is no copy operation (important for large tables). Note that in this case the field symbol must be declared in the global data of the form.
