<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Hi
Gokselin, </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Well the
short answer is NO - YUCK - WHY?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>And the
long answer is that SmartForms are being superseded with Adobe print forms
across SAP. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>So that
even where SmartForms exist often there is a newer Adobe equivalent now
available, and generally SAP has committed</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>to
replacing all of these print forms with Adobe forms. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>It might
be more helpful if you tell us your concerns?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>If it's a
skills issue then you would be well advised to learn Adobe LiveCycle Designer,
given the number of forms now produced that way. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>It's a
WYSIWYG editor and fairly straightforward.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>If you
have licence concerns, these only apply where Adobe forms are used in
Interactive mode - i.e. where a user starts a form, enters data against a form
and submits the form, usually triggering a workflow.
Smartforms NEVER had this capability. There are no licence
issues around Adobe forms used in print mode.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>If it's an
issue of "where do I put my code exits" you need to understand the options in
your application area. Yes it's true you don't put code against parts of
the form in the same way as you did SmartForms, but this is only because
use of Adobe print forms enforces a better separation of business logic and
UI. There are always a number of options available - such as in the
initialization section of the form interface, or in the calling program, or by
using wizards or Javascripts in the form design to achieve similar
features. So look at the examples and read the doco for your area.
