How to trigger Second and third page in smartform

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I am facing a problem , in my smartform I have 3 pages. 1st page consist of main window, second and third page consist of secondary window with different layout. I have 4 condition on basis of which I have to trigger second and third window.

Condition 1 = No printing of both the pages. for this passing indicator to form 'A'

Condition 2 = Printing of Second Page Only. for this passing indicator to form 'B'

Condition 3 = Printing Of Third page Only. for this passing indicator to form 'C'

Condition 4 = Both second & third Pages to be printed. for this passing indicator to form 'D'

In all above cases first page always be printed.

In First page after main window I have put two commands

Command 1 - Go to next page -> Page 2

under output condition

indicator = 'B'

or

indicator = 'D'.

Command 2 - Go to next page -> Page 3

under output condition

indicator = C'

or

indicator = 'D'.

For cases A, B & C its working Fine.

But if I pass D (Both Pages ) its shows error "Page break is allowed only in the main window"

Please help me.

"next page" command should be defined "as the last inferior node of the main window" (as explained in sap library).

You defined 2 subsequent "next page" commands, it can't work as only one is taken into account.

You should define for page 1:

"Next page" attribute must be page 1

At the last inferior node of the main window: IF case = 'B' or 'D' then command next page = page 2

IF case = 'C' then command next page = page 3

You should define for page 2:

"Next page" attribute must be empty

Create a dummy MAIN window

(maybe you need to print dummy text like <32>)

At the last inferior node of the main window: IF case = 'D' then command next page = page 3

For more information, see [sap library - smart forms - Dynamic Page Break|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/70/e17a37dec511d3b575006094192fe3/frameset.htm]

I've just tried, it works fine. Maybe you misinterpreted what I said above, because it is not obvious. There is just a little error in what I mentioned, in bold below.

The same MAIN window (with same child nodes) should appear in both pages 1 and 2, with following child nodes:

1) what you want to print on page 1

2) IF case = 'B' or 'D' then command next page = page 2

3) IF case = 'C' then command next page = page 3

4) dummy text <32> CONDITION OUTPUT ONLY ON PAGE 2 (we must add this condition, otherwise we would get an error in case 'C' as the main window doesn't exist in page 3)

5) IF case = 'D' then command next page = page 3

If it still doesn't work, you should create a test smart form from scratch with the minimum required, as I did (it took me 5 minutes), make sure it works, and then compare with your original smart form to check what you made wrong.
