Hi All,

I am calling the below function module from driver pgm, but it returns sy-subrc value 0. and not going to the smartfor. Can anybody tell what is the reason for that.

CALL FUNCTION FM_NAME

I_BUDAT = I_BUDAT

I_IBLNR = I_IBLNR

I_PLANT = I_PLANT

I_ADRESS = I_ADRESS

I_POST_CODE = I_POST_CODE

I_HOUSE_NUM = I_HOUSE_NUM

I_CITY = I_CITY

I_COUNTRY = I_COUNTRY

• IMPORTING

• JOB_OUTPUT_INFO = LWA_JOB_OUTPUT

• TABLES

• z_i_item = z_i_item

EXCEPTIONS

FORMATTING_ERROR = 1

INTERNAL_ERROR = 2

SEND_ERROR = 3

USER_CANCELED = 4

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

Hi,

Execute the smartform from the smartforms Tcode and there in the table give some junk data both in the table and the template and check the smartform. For table u have to give more number of records for that just give one record and then click on the Double line tab which is present in the menu bar so that it keep on increasing the number of records then check the print preview so that you can get the real error.

Hope this will help you,

Hi,

Also sometimes this kind of error occurs if the transport of the smartform has not happened properly to the other systems.

So, if you happened to transport to testing system and it works fine in the developement system then try to re-transport the form and then generate the smartform in the test system and check.

Hi,

Please check in debugging mode where exactly it occurs by debugging the FM generated for the smartform.

then check for the particular node in the smartform.

Hi,

You can call the smartform by 2 ways.

1. first calling the FM 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' by passing smartform name and get the generated function module name. then call the FM by using this name.

2. Directly you can call by using the FM <fm name> which you will get after activation of the smartform.

But preferable is the 1st one.

check all ur windows position and size ... sometime this will create this kind of problem.

[Former Member]

Hi,

I checked the size. No problem..

There are two pages in the smartform. In first page main window i put one table and 3 template, so that whenever it overflows should come to the second page. In second page I have only the main window.

Is there any problem with this?

Thanks,

Hi,

Generally Formatting Error exception occurs due to mismatch of the widths of windows with templates/tables.

check all the templates cell widths in ur window which should be exactly match with ur window width. also check the sum heights of all templates should not be greater than the window height.

in the same way, check the table cells width with window width. it should be matched..

for above cases generally we get Formating Error..

Hope it helps!!
