Hi

Please check are you using following two function modlules ,

CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' EXPORTING FORMNAME = LF_FORMNAME

• variant = ' '

• direct_call = ' '

IMPORTING FM_NAME = LF_FM_NAME

EXCEPTIONS NO_FORM = 1

NO_FUNCTION_MODULE = 2

OTHERS = 3.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

then

CALL FUNCTION LF_FM_NAME EXPORTING

ARCHIVE_INDEX = TOA_DARA

ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS = ARC_PARAMS

CONTROL_PARAMETERS = LS_CONTROL_PARAM

MAIL_RECIPIENT = LS_RECIPIENT

MAIL_SENDER = LS_SENDER

OUTPUT_OPTIONS = LS_COMPOSER_PARAM

USER_SETTINGS = SPACE

IS_BIL_INVOICE = LS_BIL_INVOICE

IMPORTING

JOB_OUTPUT_INFO = LS_JOB_INFO

EXCEPTIONS

FORMATTING_ERROR = 1

INTERNAL_ERROR = 2

SEND_ERROR = 3

USER_CANCELED = 4

OTHERS = 5.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

and Debugging mode please check wheather the function module / form name is same which ur are using , is ur form active , if it is execute it throught SMARTFORMS TCODE ITSELF and check the function module name.

then compare through driver program , by putting break point in test invinorment .

Hi Praveen,

Is the smartform and print program custom one?

Did you make a copy to the smartform and changed it? If you had done this, then the smartform FM would have changed. So, modify the print program to open this smartform FM.

Smartform is not client dependent. In whichever client you develop the form, it is available in all the clients, only SAPscript needs to be transported to all the clients using SCC1.

Hi Subramaniam,

What you said is right.I made a copy of the already existing smartform and customized it.

I customized the smart form in /smb40/ module. There is a default print program but the system is not allowing me to change any thing.

so do I need to made a copy to that print program and change it or ....

I greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks so much.

Hi,

Yes you will have to change the print program also.

In the print program, change the call FM to the smartform.

NO_FUNCTION_MODULE = 2

OTHERS = 3.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

What is the value of sy-subrc after the call to FM OPEN_FORM?

Rob

[Former Member]

Message TD 131 says that the form you are trying to open isn't there. Have you spelled the name correctly (all in upper case)?

Rob

[Former Member]

Rob,

Yes I did the spell name correctly, tried it again.

Is it neccessary to have the smart form at the testing client???. I did it in development client and by using the SCC1, I transfered the client specific data to the test client.

I havent changed any thing to the print program, and the print program is there itself in its folder at /smb40/, and its active.

What else do I need to do.

Please help me out. I need to finish it out soon.

Thanks,

I think you should transport it to the test environment.

Rob,

Do I need to do any modifications to the print program...

what I did is I haven't touched the print program.

Thanks,

You shouln't have to change it, but if it's an existing print program and an existing form, then I would have thought that the print program would have picked up the old version of the form. Then again, maybe it depends on your architecture.
