There are many ways to handle the logic.

For example -

I can extract all the data in the driver program and just pass the final data to the smartform for display.

I can call the form and do all the coding, data extraction there only along with display.

I can extract initial data in the driver program and rest of the data extraction can take place in Form.

Third one will help in resusing the driver program and form with different requirements on the same line.

Say e.g. There is a report to display payroll of all the countries.

But the output format and the some country specific data might differ. In that case I will create a Driver program with general data pass it to the Form based on the country selected. Process country specific data in the form based on the general data and display the out put in the form.
