ABAP--如何在SMARTFORMS里动态打印背景颜色

阅读更多

Situation:

Our outputs have some background colors for important fields to have better visibility. This works fine for the normal printout. But, when send a SmartForm Output as a FAX, output comes with a BLACK background wherever we have the background color. And this makes the output unreadable (BLACK font with BLACK background).

Possible ways to handle the problem:

• Don't send a FAX: This is not feasible, as some customers would like to have there forms as FAX

• Create a clone of the existing forms and remove the background color andcall them whenever we have to send as FAX: This doesn't make sense because this will lead to more maintenance; change to the primary form leads the change to the clone form.

• Find out some way to remove the background color dynamically: This seems to be the best choice, but next question is how to do it.
  

Solution:

I had debugged the SmartForm function modules over and over to get the point where it sets the background color, borders etc to the output and what I found, there is only main internal table, with deep structure, which handles everything to generate the layout for the output.

I have started with creating a test Smartform. I created some tables lines with background colors. Than I made a coding node in the SmartForm and tried to change the internal table, which holds the entire layout related information, with help of field-symbols to remove the background color and BINGO - I got the background color removed.

With Background Color:

Without Background Color:

Download the uploadable .XML Save this file as ZTEST_NP_DYN_BGCOL.XML.To Upload,go to tcode SMARTFORMS and upload this file from Utilities > Upload Form.

The Main logic which handles the dyanmic coloring is inside the Smartform under window DUMMY.
