PWB

[Former Member]

Hi Group,

I need some info on PWB,when we will go for Print Work Bench,suppose I am having one letter it can be printed using SAP script or smartforms,why we need to go for Print work bench

The benefit of PWB is that the code to retrieve the data from the SAP is done for you by the form class. With SAP Script and Smartforms you'd have to create your own ABAP program to call the form.

Hello,

I have seen this question in many places and was surprised to see that no body mentioned this but PWB also helps by taking out the printing load from server. The printing load is majorly taken by a third party printing server. PWB only spools the output as a flat file.

The performance of smartform or PWB is relatively less compared to executing a Function module with very less association of scripts or forms.

This probably will not help those who have put this question as its an old query but I guess it will help those who search for it now.

Regards.

Vince.

You can use both SAP Script & SMARTFORMS in the PWB. PL take a look at the following <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/e4/a45a36998cf732e10000009b38f839/frameset.htm">SAP help</a>
