INTERNAL_ERROR when testing Smartforms FM

Question

Hi Experts,
after modification of a SmartForm, I tried to execute the associated FM and I got this message:
Exception       INTERNAL_ERROR
Message ID:          SSFCOMPOSER                Message number:           178
Message:
Line 3 column 1 do not exist.
I've deleted this Line 3 Col 1 in the SmartForm because I don't need it, how can I re-generate the FM ?
Regards,
David

Answer 1

May be that deleted line number is being used by some text elements. So check if any texts are using that line and modify accordingly.
To find out where the problem is before running the smartform , just use Tcode SMARTFORM_TRACE and press Switch On button.
Then after getting the error go to the SMARTFORM_TRACE tcode and see the log under Traces in Database.
That will pin point where the problem.
Do remember to switch of the trace once you are done with this problem.
