Smartforms: Page break in main window

Hello all,
I am working on a smartform that has a loop in the Main window which finally shows a table with serveral rows. I would like to have a page break if one group of lines doesn't fit on the page anymore.
I did some research on that and found the following solution:
Protection against page break for several table lines
- Expand the main area of your table node in the navigation tree.
- Insert a file node for the table lines to be protected in the main area.
- If you have already created table lines in the main area, you can put the lines that you want to protect again page break under the file using Drag&Drop. Otherwise, create the table lines as subnodes of the file.
- Choose the Output Options tab page of the file node and set the Page Protection option. All table lines that are in the file with the Page Protection option set are output on one page.
I did all this and activated the form. But when I go the generic output issue to see the form, following error message comes up:
Output could not be displayed (it may not be complete)
Any ideas why this is happening? (If I delete the folder with the "page protection" mark, then it is working fine again..)
Thanks a lot
Anne

Hey Anne,
If you are getting the error as soon as you check the box for page protection, it indicates that its not placed at correct position.
I think you placed the folder at a wrong node. I placed the folder under the main area of the table and placed the row types under the folder. Then i checked the folder for page protection.
Its working for me. I am working in ECC 6.0. I dont know if we have that provision in 4.6 C.
Create the folder under the main area of the table node.
put the row types under the folder and check the box for page protection.
Thanks,
Vamshi.

Error in Smartforms a page without a main window

Dear Friends
I have suffred one problam in Smartforms, whe we create new page then system gives error
"A page without a main window cannot point to itself as next page".
Please provide solution.
Regards
Ajit Sharma

Hello Ajit,
In Smart Form Main window is optional but check if this satisfies in your case ....
Main Window
In a main window you display text and data, which can cover several pages (flow text). As soon
as a main window is completely filled with text and data, the system continues displaying the text
in the main window of the next page. It automatically triggers the page break.
You can define only one window in a form as main window.
The main window must have the same width on each page, but can differ in height.
A page without main window must not call itself as next page, since this would trigger
an endless loop. In such a case, the system automatically terminates after three
pages.
It means if you have Next page you need to use a Main window in your smart form.

Page Protection in Main window of smartform using Folder issue

Hi Experts,
We can fix the page protection issue of records in main window by checking the No Page Break check box at the line type level in a smartform.
I tried to solve this issue by using the folder option. I created a folder inside the table of a main window and checked the page protection check box. Save and activated the layout. When i tried to add the table to the folder, the check box for page protection was reset to blank.
Why does this happen? Cant we use page protection inside main window using folder ??
Thanks

Hi friend,
We can do page protection functionality inside table of main window using Folders option. Follow the below steps,
1. Assume rows are created inside table in a main window, with corresponding line types.
2. Create a folder named PROTECT inside table, for example in Main area of table.
3. Just drag and drop your Row(s) into folder PROTECT and simply click page protection check box of the folder PROTECT.
4. This will help you to add the required functionality using Folders option in smartform.
Try this and update me in case of any concerns. Hope this will solve your problem.
Check the attachment also for your reference.
Cheers...

Smartforms : Page Protection in Main Window

I am working on one smartform which his printing the invoice. In the main window there is one table defined which prints all the line items. After this table there is one more table which prints the subtotals. I want to protect the entire contents of this second table against the page break.
e.g. if i have 4 lines in subtotal table and there is not enough space on the current page to print all the lines, then all the 4 lines should print on the next page. If anyone has encountered the similar problem and have an solution please respond as soon as possible.

Wasimkhan

I do not want to count how many lines is used in the main window currently because it is to risky (each table record can ocuupy more than one line).

Srikanth

Hi Srikanth,
In the second page you can insert a command to set it to goto page 3,and an additional event in the command (only after the end of main window).
As soon as the main window ends in the second page...u will get the third and rest of the pages.
Keep the goto next page in PAge 1 as Page2
and in Page 2 as Page 2.

Page break for Smartform with multiple main window on pages

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement for printing 3 pages. The difference among the 3 pages is the main window part.
The main window contains not only internal table, also complicated texts like payment instructions etc.
The requirement is in each page, the data in internal table should be changed, also payment instruction should be changed accordingly.
e.g:
Main Window of Page 1
Part 1 for Internal table
VAT on ITEM ------- 4O-------60,00------0.00%-------EUR
Part 2 for Payment Instructions
Texts for Page 1
Main Window of Page 2
Part 1 for Internal table
VAT on ITEM ------- 5O-------60,00------0.00%-------EUR
Part 2 for Payment Instructions
Texts for Page 2
Main Window of Page 3
Part 1 for Internal table
VAT on ITEM ------- 6O-------60,00------0.00%-------EUR
Part 2 for Payment Instructions
Texts for Page 3
At first, I was using only one page 'Page1' with a variable page_no = 1 as default value, and use program line page_no = page_no + 1 as counter. when page_no = 2, use command for force page break to 'Page1', then under the command, change the internal table and payment instruction texts. when page_no = 3, ...
But I encountered an error saying:
Runtime Errors GEN_BRANCHOFFSET_LIMIT_REACHED
Short text
Jump distance is too large and cannot be generated.
So I created 3 pages, with different main window M_window1, M_window2, M_window3 for each page. In page1, after printing the M_window1, page_no = 2, use command to go to page2, but page2 is never printed. I think this is because only one main window can exist in a smartform? but why smartform allows creating individual main window for different pages? what's the use of such main window?
By the way, what's the use of command for force page break? only work for one main window in a smartform?
Getting back to my requirement, I think I should still use one page and command for page break. I am trying to solve this.
Thanks.
Li Jun Da.

Now I am using 3 pages: Page 1, Page 2, Page 3.
Page 2, Page 3 are copies of Page 1 with main window renamed as second window: mw 2, mw 3.
I also created 2 command nodes in main window of page 1: cmd 2, cmd 3.
cmd 2 is for page break to Page 2, cmd 3 is for page break to Page 3.
The second window mw 2, mw 3 in Page 2, Page 3 can be displayed.
Even though, I still can't understand how main window of pages (not 1st page) can work.

Condition text on last page of Main window of a SAPSCRIPT

Hi,
     I want to print some condition text in last page of a Main window of my custom sapscript, we can't use &NEXTPAGE& in Main window. Is there any other method to identify the last page.

Hi Venu gopal,
In the print program use the control break statement.
Refer this code
*AT LAST*
call function 'WRITE_FORM'
       exporting
       element                          = 'GRAND_TOTAL'
*   FUNCTION                            = 'SET'
*   TYPE                                = 'BODY'
         window                         = 'MAIN'

2 main windows in 2 different pages with different layouts

Hi Guru's,
I'm working on Smartforms.
My problem is, i have 2 different pages with 2 diiferent main windows.
The First Page lasts after 7 pages of Data Printing.
It is coming corrctly.
I've assign the Next Page as Second Page in the First Page and i'm maintaining a condition in the First Page to go to the Second page.
Everything is working fine, but in the second page i'm not getting the Main Window.
What could be the Problem??? Why the control is not going to main window of second page???
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Adi.

Try like this:
1. Set the Next page of the FIRST as FIRST
2. In the MAIN window of the FIRST, after completing the TABLE, create a command which calls the SECOND PAGE.
3. In SECOND page, create a MAIN window, with differnet name. If you create a same name, system will automatically refer the MAIN window in the FIRST page.
4. Set the next page of the SECOND as SECOND.

How to print main window data in second page without header

hi friends.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I am printing billing docu details in main window ,the data is coming in two pages but there is problem in printing as the tables is continuing in second page the line is not coming for the table for first row,space is also coming for second page for header .
my issue is to remove space before printing table and line should come for the table for 1st row in second page.
please help .
thanks in advance.

Hi Raghukumar,
1. For the line not coming on the top row of the second page, check if the rowtype u have used in the table has been given a border on the upper side.
2.For the space issue in the second page, I assume you might have used only a single Page in your smartform and the same page is called again.Hence as per the main window size and length data will be displayed in all pages of the smartform.
You may need to create a second page with the Main window length occupying the compete page so that data display starts from the top of the page. next Page attributes of the smartforms should be entered accordingly.
Please try to elaborate your query to help us understand your issue.

when i run the program first page are coming properly and only when i go in second page of output then main window lines not displaying.
please guide me how to solve this problem.
Regards,
pravin

Hi Praveen,
In that case why you have to make the main window in the first page and secondry window.
You can use it as manin window itself. Print the total amount in the main window itself in the first page. and copy that main window to the second page.
In the first page under the main window create a text. and there u print the total value and text.
Now copy the main window to the second page..only COPY DONT CREATE NEW.
In the second page now under the main window create the table to print the line items. What every u add in the second page main window it will come in the first age also in the smartforms. But it will nto get printed in the first page.After the text to print the totals call the COMMAND option and call next page in that.
Hope you got me..

Smartform problem how to make second page main window dynamic?

Hi SAP Community,
I am facing a problem with designing a smartform. I have taken a table in the main window of the first page, and the main window length varies according to the number of entries in the table. If the records are more than that can be adjusted in the first page then the ramaining records move to the second page main window. After the second page main window i have defined a window which i have marked to get displayed after the main window, but the problem i am facing is that that the second page main window is geting overlapped with the window defined to come after it. Can any one help me with how to control the length of second page main window dynamically.
Regards,
Tushar

Hi,
Normally, to trigger next page the main window is mandatory.
However, if the contents of main window are not sufficient enough to move over to next page then the next page would not get trigerred.
Moreover, please check whether the table of contents in the first page are also existing in the next page otherwise you need to trigger a new page by using a command.
Also please direct the next page of SECOND page to SECOND itself and check.

Ram
