smartform method problem

[Former Member]

i am in a fix , pls help me out.

while doing smartform with select-options, which is the best way to do ?

1st way :

[se38 driver program]

-

---

• data declaration

*doing the select query => fetching data into internal table

*calling ssf_function_module_name => trapping the smartform name

*calling the smartform

passing the final internal table and other parameters to the smartform

ie: all the data declarations, internal table data manipulations....etc in the driver prog and the smartform will only have the least necessary parameters in the form interface and global data [ie: no types decl, no data decl, no select query will be done in the smartform body]

*----

---

*

2nd way

----

---

[se 38 [driver prog]

data: fnam type rs38l_fnam.

select-options: s_vbeln for vbap-vbeln.

*calling ssf_function_module_name => trapping the smartform name

call function fnam

exporting

t_vbeln = s_vbeln. => passing the select-options as parameters to the smartform.

*----

---

*

now in smartform body

tcode: smartforms

-

---

form interface => tables

t_vbeln like selopt. "selopt predefined str similar to select-options

-

---

global definitions => types

declare the internal table type

global definitions => global data

declare the internal table, the work area ...etc

-

---

global definitions => initializations

write the select query.

-

---

then develop the remaining smartform (most of the coding is done in tcode:smartforms).

Hi,

I recommend the first option. It is always the best option to do data fetch in the driver program and try to write less code in the layout.

Reason, it is good to segregate the data retrieval from the layout so that you can manage both effectively. Also you can feel a lot of performance.
