Calculating Subtotals You want to display subtotals after a sort level break of a sort criterion. So that Make Sure that the Internal Table is Sorted based on the required Fields.

Sort Criteria in Table: Before you start reading an internal table, you can tell SAP Smart Forms to sort it. With the sorting, you can divide the table into different sort levels: -

1 st Sort Criterion 2 n d Sort Criterion 3rd Sort Criterion

Beginning of Sort Level (Event on Sort Begin)

(of 1st Sort Criterion)

End of Sort Level (Event on Sort End)

cords and to display subtitles or subtotals at the

In the sort Crit

g of your internaLtable, use the Data tab of the table or loop node. box you can enter the fields by which to sort the table.

The sequence in which you enter the field names into the table control determines the sort sequence. To change it at a later time, use the black arrows above the control. Use the radio buttons to choose whether to sort the field in ascending or in descending order. Note : To display data(Sub Totals) before or after a sort level, mark Event on Sort Begin andlor Event on Sort End. In the navigation tree, an event node appears for which you can create inferior nodes. In these inferior nodes you specify the data you want to display at this event (for example, subtotals).

The layout of a template is static, which means that you determine it before the Smart Form is executed. To do this, you can define line types in the Table Painter, whose sequences and appearances are the same as in the output.

Line Types for Templates

:

The layout of a template is static, which means that you determine it before the Smart Form is executed. To do this, you can define line types in the Table Painter, whose sequences and appearances are the same as in the output. Describing a template with line types could look like this:

The output of thi are used:

hich only three different line types

Line type L1 for the first two line of the template. The Table Painter shows the interval in the bracket after the name of the line type. Line type L2 for the third line of the template. This line type has a different fixed line height.

Line type L3, which is no line type of its own, but only a reference to L1. The Table Painter shows the name of the reference line type below the name of the line type. Line type L4 for the fifth line. Note: By specifying an interval you can use one line type for several subsequent lines of the template. By specifying a reference you can reuse any existing line type at any position of the template. You can make changes only to the 'master' line type. Note: Unlike with line types for tables, for templates you specify a fixed line height for the line type. Any output that does not fit into a cell is truncated.
