Hi!
the write form that u are calling should be as below....
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
   EXPORTING
      element                  = 'ELEMENT'
      window                   = 'MAIN'
    EXCEPTIONS
      element                  = 1
      function                 = 2
      type                     = 3
      unopened                 = 4
      unstarted                = 5
      window                   = 6
      bad_pageformat_for_print = 7
     spool_error              = 8
      codepage                 = 9
      OTHERS                   = 10.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE 'MAIN window not called properly'(006) TYPE 'E'.
  ENDIF.                               " IF SY-SUBRC NE 0
in the layout see if the code there with data element is proper as...
/E  ELEMENT
   &var&
Also this write_form FUNCTION MODULE should be called  b/w OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM Function Modules.
