Errors in smartform ! A SSFCOMPOSER 173 , ! W SSFCOMPOSER 304

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a z driver program and z smartform for Purchase order.The Smartform was working fine until i did some changes in the Template used in smartform.I changed the length of one of the cell in the template. Since then when i am trying to print PO via tcode me23n, I get a error message "Interface error".I changed the template settings back to the previous one , but still i am getting the same error.

I debugged the smartform using TCODE SFTRACE i got the following trace.

overflow of non main window

! W SSFCOMPOSER 304

MSGV1: H

! A SSFCOMPOSER 173

MSGV1: TEMP_FOOTER.

Please Revert .

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Please check for the error messages 304 and 173 in SSFCOMPOSER message class.

Error 304 is due to an unknown paragraph format used in the text node.

Error 173 is Table does not fit into window.

Hence, please check the total width of the template and the window in which it is used.Both should be equal.

Hi Prakash,

Check the template dimensions with that of main window dimensions in the output options.

In the template_footer check the format whether that you have created in the smartstyle.

The SSFCOMPOSER error generated for

173 --> Table does not fit into window.

304 --> Unknown character format.

Hi,

If you had already corrected the template then try deleting the entire template , activate the smartform and re-create it.

Sometimes smartforms behave strangely.

Hi,

check in the output options if you are printing the right data on the right place.

If that all is ok. then you start with shrinking the part which is going wrong by using conditions like 1 = 0.

On this way you can work to the exact place of the error.

I mean with this you have to exclude some part of the smartform not by deleting it but use the conditions to be sure it is not used.

success.

Hi,

Check the table or template by name TEMP_FOOTER.

Check whether the width is not exceeding the window width.

You have some table or template whose total width is more than the window width.

hi ankur,

i have checked the temp_footer its length does not exceed the window length.

Also there is no errors in smartform it is active.

Please suggest any other possibility.

Thanks

Hi,

You should also check the Output Options tab of the text elements in the template. Make sure the values for Line and Column in the Output Structure section do not extend beyond the size of the template.

Hi,

Down load PRD Smart form and upload that in DEV. Then check.

Most probably Total length of the cells is bigger than the windosws where you put this template. Check values one by one for some cases it don't give any error message in design time but only in runtime.
