hi Rich,
he code goes like this in the include program.
  loop at p_cell_otf into  l_otfline
                       to    l_blockend
                       where tdprintcom = pc_id_color_text.
    endloop.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
      append l_otfline to l_lastinfo.
    endif.
get corrected value for l_blockpos: should be the position
set by the command of 'positioning' (last in the block).
look for 'last' ST command
> the error occurs    l_index = l_blockend.
    while l_flag eq c_true.
      l_index = l_index - 1.
      read table p_cell_otf into l_otfline index l_index.
      if l_otfline-tdprintcom <> pc_id_codepage    and
         l_otfline-tdprintcom <> pc_id_call_font   and
         l_otfline-tdprintcom <> pc_id_space_width and
         l_otfline-tdprintcom <> pc_id_uline       and
         l_otfline-tdprintcom <> pc_id_color_text  and
         l_otfline-tdprintcom <> pc_id_move_to     and
         l_otfline-tdprintcom <> pc_id_md_after_par.
The data variables include
data:customer_id type knc1-kunnr,
     scan_code type zzscan,
     scan_number type zzscan,
     icode1 type C value '0',
     nvalue_scancode type I,
     icode2 type knb1-xausz,
     icode(2) type C,
     w_date type d,
     from_date(8) type c,
     to_date(8) type c,
     fdate(12) type C,
     conversionstring type string,
     custno type knc1-kunnr,
     advertiserno type knc1-kunnr,
     amount(9) type C,
     numc_amount(9) type N,
     bpartner(10) type n,
     len type I,
     bdate(10) type c,
     addspace type I,
The program was running  fine till thursday evening and later on ftriday they changed on some printer settings  and stuff like that. Is that related to it because this includes in the smartform that I periodically print.
I go for the print preview and just it gets hanged there.
Any leads would be just great..
thanks
