Print Preview / Smarform freezing issue

[Former Member]

Hello,

we are facing a weird issue after applying EH5. Few of our users reported a screen hanging forever, when I went to SM50, I found the DIA process to be on_hold. I was able to narrow down the issue creating a test program with only this FM

ABAP4_CALL_TRANSACTION

STARTING NEW TASK 'NONE'

DESTINATION 'NONE'

EXPORTING

tcode = 'me23n'

execute the program, a new session is created for ME23N ( Purchase Orders) then click on print preview.

when I remove the STARTING NEW TASK 'NONE' ( no new seesion will be created) the print preview in ME23N work just fine with no what appears to be endless loop or freezing of samrtform ( or if I just go to ME23N directly). I was able to replicate this issue with different smartforms.

It seems to be a combination of smartform and creating new session problem.

Any thoughts folks?

Thanks,

Abdul.

I doubt it because I was able to replicate it on various areas including PM work orders print preview.

Thanks,

I think the issue is may be with the smartform. try to replicate it from ME21/ME22/ME23n
