Hi Manikandan,

Are you talking about data element or text elements recognized by the paragraph format /E?

I feel you are dealing with text elements. See if you define a text element in script

using the paragraph format /E, make sure when you are calling from print program using WRITE_FORM fm you mention the same text element name under ELEMENT.

Hi Manikandan,

Have you deleted/renamed some existing text element in the form. If yes, then if the same element is called from the print program, it will give an error.

NO I AM SURE I AM USING THE SAME TEXT ELEMENTS ..THE PBLM IS WHEN I OPEN THE TEXT EDITOR THE SAVED TEXT ELEMENTS GETS DELETED.

IN THE STANDARD PROGRAM THEY HAVE USED MANY IF CONDITIONS BUT I HAVE NOT USED ALL THE THINGS .JUST I HAVE THE TEXT ELEMENTS AND MY NEW FIELDS.

Hello Manikandam,

After putting your text elements and new fields, did you activate the script (menubar - FORMS -ACTIVATE).

And one more thing, I understand you have added elements/fields in script, but if you want them to be printed, you have to populate the variables in your print program and call WRITE_FORM function module for that element, else that element won't appear in output with values of variables under it getting displayed.

Hello Manikandam,

No your print program will not have text element by default. It s not like when you add a element to the script, it gets autogenerated in print program. You have to put it in print program. You can search for the element in the script. It will show in write_form fm under elements.

And I do not have any clue how something is getting deleted from script just like that. Could you give an extract from the script what you have done after activating. Just put from 2 lines before that also.
