New-page for smartform

Question

Hello all,
I am facing a problem using smartforms. I am printing a report where there is a loop running for a list of plants. For printing the information of each plant, I need to use a new page. Information of one plant may take several pages but for every new plant, I need to insert a page break.
I am using a COMMAND with a checked next page option in my EVENT ON SORT BEGIN for the plant code.
This does the trick, but if I use the command at the bottom, it inserts a blank page at the end of the report. If I use the command at the top of the event, it first shows a blank page and then the data from the 2nd page.
Please sugest how can I fix this.

Hi Friend,
        You can use following tips for generating smartforms for every new plant.I have generated sales order report using this steps.You can refer it.Tips are given below:
1.Define the structure,workarea and internal table for sales order header and details and also define
select-options for sales order.
2.Also define the one STRUCTURE which has type as ssfctrlop.
e.g. control type ssfctrlop.
     This variable we have to define because we are going to use this in
SSF_OPEN function.This is used to avoid print preview while openning smartform
for every sales order.
3. Select data from vbak for sales header.
4. Call function SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME.
e.g.*CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
  CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
    EXPORTING
      formname                 = w_formname
  VARIANT                  = ' '
  DIRECT_CALL              = ' '
   IMPORTING
     fm_name                  =  w_functionname
   EXCEPTIONS
     no_form                  = 1
     no_function_module       = 2
     OTHERS                   = 3
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
        WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
  ENDIF.
5.Now here define the various features or field in control structure.
This is controls for smartform.
e.g.  control-no_dialog = 'X'.
     control-preview   = 'X'.
     control-no_open   = 'X'.
     control-no_close  = 'X'.
6. Call function SSF_OPEN.
     Here you have to pass the control structure which you have define in declaration.
e.g.
CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_OPEN'
    EXPORTING
  ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS       =
  USER_SETTINGS            = 'X'
  MAIL_SENDER              =
  MAIL_RECIPIENT           =
  MAIL_APPL_OBJ            =
  OUTPUT_OPTIONS           =
      control_parameters       = control
IMPORTING
  JOB_OUTPUT_OPTIONS       =
   EXCEPTIONS
     formatting_error         = 1
     internal_error           = 2
     send_error               = 3
     user_canceled            = 4
     OTHERS                   = 5
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
        WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
  ENDIF.
7. Take loop at header internal table .
8. Select data from vbak for sales details. Also select data from respective tables
like makt,kna1 here.
9.Then call function module which generated after executing smartform. And also pass the control structure
in import parameter in this function module.
e.g.  CALL FUNCTION '/1BCDWB/SF00000397'
    EXPORTING
  ARCHIVE_INDEX              =
  ARCHIVE_INDEX_TAB          =
  ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS         =
    control_parameters         = control
  MAIL_APPL_OBJ              =
  MAIL_RECIPIENT             =
  MAIL_SENDER                =
  OUTPUT_OPTIONS             =
  USER_SETTINGS              = 'X'
      wa_vbak                    = wa_vbak
IMPORTING
  DOCUMENT_OUTPUT_INFO       =
  JOB_OUTPUT_INFO            =
  JOB_OUTPUT_OPTIONS         =
    TABLES
      it_vbak                    = it_vbak
      it_vbap                    = it_vbap
EXCEPTIONS
  FORMATTING_ERROR           = 1
  INTERNAL_ERROR             = 2
  SEND_ERROR                 = 3
  USER_CANCELED              = 4
  OTHERS                     = 5
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
        WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
  ENDIF.
10.After endloop call function SSF_CLOSE.
     If it will help you reward me points.
