Doubt in SMART FORMS , data types

[Former Member]

Hi all!

I have created a variable SLNO of type C with default value '0' in GLOBAL DATA. Then in a table , I have created a program line with commands : SLNO = SLNO + 1. No syntax errors are there . When I execute the report dump is coming stating that "Unable to interpret * as a number. This problem is not coming in DEV client , but in STG client.

Why is this variable taking * as default even I aassign 0(zero). And one more thing is, how can we debug SMART FORMs? Please suggest.

Hi...

hope u have also declare the SLNO in the input and output parameters , where u wrote the code lines for SLNO... if not keep declare that.

And regarding the smartforms debugging, we have couple of ways to debug...

keeping the static break point is the last option if u dont have any other option.

Its is not good to keep the static break point.

the other way is setting the Dynamic break point just as we do for reports and all.

for this pick the smartforms generated function module and search by ur required variable... there u can keep the break-point. then u execute... u can find the difference and power of dynamic break-point.

and give me ur mail id... i ll try to send the document.

Hi! I have opened that FM, but my output didn't get stopped anywhere even I put no. of break points in that FM.

Hi! I didn't put static break points bec'z, I have to check it in STG . I have put break points in the generated Func. module.

Hii

u can put break-points without effecting ur STG

write like this BREAK <USERID>

Hi !

Where do I mention this line? In STG client it doesn't allow us to enter in change mode here.

Error says that it is unable to take the variable as a number .This is just because you can add number to a number but not number to a character . Change your varible to number type.

There are number of ways to debug.

one I follow is create a breakpoint in the data selection program (at where the FM of s'form is called )of the s'form before executing .

You can debug the FM of smartform in SE37 .

Hi Jaipal!

It's not script. SMART FORM. How can we debug SMART FORMS? I have to debug it in STG client. Please suggest how to debug SMART FORMS?

I have checked it taking integer variable. When I take integer , allignment is missing. The serial no. is printing slightly downwards.i.e.it's taking nearly a height of 2 lines to print integer value. That's why I have opted for character type variable.Please suggest.

Hiii

we can debug smartforms using

put static Break-point in code where u wrote

next when u take integer variable we need to use

condense the variable where u counting

hey jaya can i get ur Mail-ID

1. use transaction SMARTFORM_TRACE

2. in the SMARTFORMS, use utilities to show the function name. You can analyze this function in SE37 and set dynamic breakpoints as required. Lok at the SMARTFORM_TRACE to decide where to set break points.

3. <b>BREAK-POINT</b> can be used only in own program lines in smartform - not very helpful because it always stops until removed and generated again.

I have swithced on trace. whenever I execute the Smartform one session is getting generated in trace. it's showing the details of windows but not showing my variables and my program lines. How to check?please suggest.
