Add Local SAPScript to Transport Request

At times developers develop SAPScript as local object. Unlike reports where we can change the development class using the attributes option , nothing such is available for SAPScripts.

However we can use the program RSWBO052 to change the development class.

Following are the step by step screenshots to change the development class

Convert SAPSCRIPT to SMARTFORMS

There are two ways through which you can convert SAPSCRIPT into SMARTFORMS as follows:

1. Function module, FB_MIGRATE_FORM.

You can start this function module via SE37, or create a small ABAP which migrates all SAPscript forms automatically.

2. You can also do this one-by-one in transaction SMARTFORMS, under

Utilities -> Migrate SAPscript form.

When converting SAPSCRIPT into SMARTFORMS, only the layout is passed. The logic is still required to be done in the SMARTFORMS.
