Static and Dynamic Settings

The Form Builder contains a range of form attributes that you can use to determine the output format and possibly also the output medium, statically in the form. You find these attributes on the Output Options tab of the Form Attributes node.

You can override these settings using the output options:

Overriding the Output Format

Desired Output Format

Settings for Overriding

Standard output (OTF)

XSFCMODE = 'X'. XSF = SPACE. XDFCMODE = 'X'. XDF = SPACE.

XSF

XSFCMODE = 'X'. XSF = 'X'. XDFCMODE = SPACE.

XSF+HTML

XSFCMODE = 'X'. XSF = 'X'. XSFFORMAT = 'X'. XDFCMODE = SPACE.

XDF

XDFCMODE = 'X'. XDF = 'X'. XSFCMODE = SPACE.

After you have overriden the output format, SAP Smart Forms ignores all other static settings in the form as well. The table below shows which parameters match which input fields in the Output box of the form attributes:
