Background documentationInterfaces of Interactive PDF-Based Print Forms

 

For the typing of the parameters of interfaces, you can use any data elements, structures, and table types.

Features

Make only compatible changes to the parameters of the interface of an interactive form, in which you receive data. Keep this in mind especially if you have already created interactive forms and are still using these forms, and you want to continue receiving data and processing it after a change to the interface. The following changes are uncritical:

  • Adding new fields

  • Deleting fields

  • Extending the length of fields

Reducing the length of fields or changing the type of field can lead to problems or incorrect contents. The transformation is error tolerant, but does not perform any checks, and therefore does not trigger any errors. To avoid errors and incompatibilities in your daily work, you should test your changes.

If in doubt, create a new interface and a new form and install a new scenario.

Procedure

To send the data entered in the form from the ABAP program to an SAP system using e-mail, add any parameter to the interface of the form, and type it with the structure IFP_STR_SENDBACK. The form FKKCORR_EXP_SAMPLE_INTACT_PDF (application form FKKCORR_EXP_SAMPLE_INTACT_PDF) uses the parameter IV_SENDBACK for this.

In the form just mentioned, under the SendButton pushbutton, you find the Java Script, with which you can analyze the transferred data and send the data by e-mail to the recipient.
