DIFFERENCES:

what is the difference between function modules and subroutines

Answer
# 1
Function module is globel and Subroutine is local to the
the program in which it is defined. So if we need to use
some functionality more that onece we can make function
module and we can call them where ever we want. without
again redefining it.

USER E1I2 AND BADI DIFFERENCE
The basic rule in SAP as far as ABAP workbench developments are concerned is "Do
not modify the source code of the program"
Since needs and requirements keep on changing from client to client and for various
business scenarios there is a need to customise the programs as per client
requirement!
"or this purpose SAP has provided numerous list of user#e$its also known as
enhancements which is nothing but a program which will deal with the client
additional requirement without modifying the source code of the program! These
e$its are already provided by SAP! %ou can see the list of user#e$its provided by
using the transaction code S&'D! (f you cannot find an user e$it which match with
client requirements then you can tell SAP to create a new user e$it!
)ow BAD(# Business Add in
Business Add#(ns are a new SAP enhancement technique based on ABAP 'b*ects!
They can be inserted into the SAP System to accommodate user requirements too
specific to be included in the standard delivery! Since specific industries often require
special functions SAP allows you to predefine these points in your software!

Re: hat is the main difference between Smartforms and SA3 scri0ts"
Answer

Smartforms are client independant.
S(. scripts are client independent
hat is the main difference between Smartforms and SA3 scri0ts"
Answer
# 2
3o output documents using the programming interface6 713
application programs makes use of scripts or smart forms.
'y design sap script is a word processing tool which
displays data on the form with the help of text elements
where the logic of those is written in the print program and
Forms were designed to be driven from print program6 hence
are often termed as client dependent. Smart forms are client
independent. 'co/ it doesn8t use any text elements. it will
be executed through a function module. 9hen a print program
calls a Smart Form6 the form itself takes over to produce
output6 without any further direction from print program.
Steps for creation
#reation of Script
.rint program will determine the output document6 the areas
values6 and the fre4uency of the output. 3he database access
will be made in the print program which will insert them in
the corresponding fields of the form. Script needs direction
from the print program to print output.
Scripts uses layout set that describes the layout of the
individual print pages and uses text elements to supply
definable output blocks6 which a print program can call.
#reation of smart form
: )esign the form
: Form (ctivation which returns Function module
: (pplication program for data retrieval ; calling
Smart form.
(pplication program calls the function module6 the Smart
Form uses the modules interface +which corresponds to the
form interface, to transfer any table data previously
selected and to print the form according to the form
description. !n addition form can have additional data
selections.
driver program is generated automatically by activating the
smartform
we need to write the driver program .no program is generated
by activating the script
