You might be calling the WRITE_FORM for main window in loop. so if the sy-tabix reaches 6or7 then exit the loop.

Hello,

Find where the WRITE command for the line items is in your print program.

Add the following in the global data section

constants: c_lines_per_page type i value '5'.
data: z_lines_per_page type i.

Add the following inside the loop but BEFORE the WRITE call.

if z_lines_per_page = c_lines_per_page.
  clear z_lines_per_page.
  control function 'CONTROL_FORM'
    exporting
      command = 'NEW-PAGE'.
endif.
add 1 to z_lines_per_page.

Every 5 lines it will trigger a new page. Change the constant if you want to change the number of lines. Don't put the check after the write or you could trigger blank pages.
