Smartform - formatting error

Hi all,
I customized the form YBUS_MMPO in SR system. Here it is runnig properly.
During developement, the form transported to DR system due to some problems.
I tried to run the form in DR system but it is giving error with "style /SMB40/SF is not found" but actually the stlye i copied from SR to DR and assigned to the form is ZSF_PURCHASEORDER.
what shall I do?
Edited by: kalandar on Jan 26, 2010 8:11 AM

here is what we did to solved this problem with style /SMB40/SF. Here are the steps which I followed to resolve the error.
Step. 1: From SMARTFORMS transaction, Execute the form with Error you will get a FM name, Now display the form and Click on Find Button, Select mainprogram Radio button and search the style /SMB40/SF. Note down all the nodes where this style is used.
Step 2: Remove the style from the nodes and activate. If you still find the style in form then note down the nodes above and below the style.
Step 3: Download the form for Backup first. Now remove both the nodes which were noted in step 2. Activate the form and now add the two nodes again back to form which were removed earlier.
Step 4: Activate the form and the Issue is Resolved.

FORMATTING ERROR when executing smartform with message SSFcomposer 159

Hi all,
I have created a custom smartform.When i execute it in tcode SMARTFORMS,i get the error "FORMATTING ERROR" "GRAPHIC CANNOT BE DISPLAYED".
I have a image file(LOGO) which is used in this Smartform.However this problem is faced only in the QUALITY system.In DEV system,the Smartform works fine.
PLease advise.
Thanks.

Hi,
is the logo also in the QTY system.
Che the name of the logo, then go in transaction SE78 and check if the logo exist.
Otherwise, create a transaport (always from SE78 trx) and transport the logo in the other systems.
Hope it helps

Smartform output not displaying, no formatting affected on output and shows formatting Error.

Hi Guys,
I am new to SAP and working in Smartforms now. I am facing an issue that the output screen is not showing any formatting done during the design phase. Not even font changes are displaying, instead only showing the default Courier font. No Bold as well as italics too. And borders also showing some problems.
It was working properly till the last day and suddenly it gone faulty. Hence I cannot run the form and when I try to run it, it displays nothing. I have been designing a Tax Invoice. When I tried to execute the smartform from the form itself, it was showing Formatting Error.
What is the solution for this? I am using ECC 6. Please share your views.

Hi Sanjeev,
I've not made any changes to the formatting (Fonts and Borders) and I cross checked it many times.
Everything is fine and Times used everywhere as Font. It is showing the same in the design too but in the output, it comes as Courier !! (May be default settings in case there is some exceptions, I don't know)
I tried another report, pick list form, which too showing the same things. As we have developed only two reports, we cannot check more. The standard SAP forms are displaying as is, but the problem is with the newly designed ones.(Standard forms too are displaying in Courier font)
I think it might be any problem related to the output graphical properties of the smart forms...!!! I am not sure but I need expert advice from you if there is any such scenarios...

Hi,
Check the following
1. Check the sum of all Widths with Total Width of the Table they should be equal.
2. Check the height aswell.
3. Check if any text is overlapping.
4. Check this note 820106. For Formatting Error. if It doesn't solve revert back.
5. .Sometimes the text may exceed the lenght of the cell,check that case also.
Check this link aswell http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/d1/80318f454211d189710000e8322d00/frameset.htm
Feel free to revert back.

Smartform: Formatting Problem with QUAN-Field

I want to print a smartform and get exception 1 (formatting error). With function SSF_READ_ERRORS I get an error table. There is on entry: errnumber = 020011, msgid = SSFCOMPOSER, msgty = E, msgno = 601, msgv1 = wa_outtab-menge.
It seems to be a formatting problem with field WA_OUTTAB-MENGE. But in the structure this field is referenced correctly.
Does anybody know a solution?

I solve this kind of problem in my SmartForm.
Try this:
Go to "Global Definitions" Node, then "Current/Quant.Fields" tab and set these values:
Field Name: WA_OUTTAB-MENGE
Reference Field: WA_OUTTAB-MEINS
Data Type: QUAN

FORMAT ERROR = 1 works fine in DEVand QA not in PROD

if it is a format error it should also give the same error in both DEV and QA.
why am i getting this errror only on PROD?
Can i have some input pls...
much appriciated for your work and thanks in advance.

Hi Pasalabasker,
I guess you have raised two issues here,
1. To get the transport requests pertaining to smartforms I would add an additional way to the one selvakumar has suggested.
Go to SE03 -> Search for Objects in Requests task->enter the object selection criteria as R3TR SSFO and further name of your smartform-> Execute. This will list all the transport requests pertaining to you smartform. Once you identify the request you can check its status in the quality and Prod.
2.If your smartform versions are same, To identify the format error please check this alternative.
===>In you production server, debug at the point of call of you smartform.Note down the Internal Table/Workarea values been passed during the smartform call .
===> Open the smartform-> get the corresponding function module name of the smartform generated automatically(Under Environment->Function module name).
===> Now simulate the same scenario in se37 for the the function module and the table values.
==> The format errors (if any) will be more descriptive when you execute the function module through se37.Most probably the location of the error node in the smartform hierarchy will be mentioned in this error.
This method has helped me many a times.Hope this helps you too.

Formatting error in SFP Form

Waiting for your reply.

Edited by: Thomas Zloch on Sep 7, 2011 2:29 PM

you got a smartform i guess, right?
if so, implement a call to FM SSF_READ_ERRORS right under the call of your smartform.
It will catch all the errors thrown during form processing.
You can then go via SE91 message SSFCOMPOSER with your message numbers of your return table and check what´s wrong.
Probably a table or template doesnt fit into main window, or some main window has another width in different pages. But well thats guessing, just find it out.

Bex Analyser : Date Format error.

Hi All,
We are facing date format error, while running the query in Bex analyzer.
We have one column in report i.e Net Payment Date, so when we run the query in analyzer the single date like "5-6-2010 is getting swapped like 6-5-10 & year also showing two digits i.e instead of 2010 it shows 10" & date like "12-09-2010 is coming perfectly."
Means the date which is in single digit we are facing this problem like 1 to 9 & the dates which are 10 & above showing perfectly.
In RSRT the query showing proper result, so i don't think it's BI problem.
The regional setting is DD-MM-YYYY & Date separator is '-' & we don't want to change this format.
Is there any SAP note or any solution for this..??
All the replays are gr8ly appreciated.
Thanks,
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
how about web display? is it ok? for me it seems more an Excel problem, so maybe you should check if there is special formatingin this.

FF_5 - Import Bank Statement, Err: Formatting error in the field COBL-KOSTL

Hi
When importing the bank statement I'm getting the error
Error: (00 298) Formatting error in the field COBL-KOSTL ; see next message
Why is it doing this? In OKB9 I have the GL Account and the cost center assigned. It is the ne GL that is giving this problem, in the classic GL I do not have this problem.
Thanks in advance

Hi
No, it is not that. For some reason in the new GL it does not seem to determine the cost centers and profit centers as usual.
For exampl to allocate the Profit Center for Balance Sheet Account I used to use 3KEH in the classic gl but in the New gl we must use FAGL3KEH.
Now with cost center i'm having the same problem, does not determine the cost center when importing the bank statement.
Can someone help me.
Thanks in advance

Format Error : mkfs.ocfs2 1.2.7 file system too small for a journal

Hi All,
I am trying to implement Oracle 10g RAC on my laptop using vmware and openfiler software . But while executing the command
#mkfs.ocfs2 -b 4K -C 32K -N 4 -L oracrsfiles /dev/iscsi/crs11/part1
I am getting the error
Format Error : mkfs.ocfs2 1.2.7 file system too small for a journal
Please anybody can help me to resolve this problem.
Thanks in Advance.

How large is the device that you are formatting?
The default journal size depends on the type specified. If none specified,
then it assumes "mail" which sets the default journal per slot to 256M.
If database type, default is 64M.
Use "-T database" to specify database type, etc.
BTW, one can always override the defaults. Say "-J size=16M" to make
a smaller journal.
man mkfs.ocfs2 and the user's guide has more.

After Effects CS6 format error 45::35

I'm getting "After Effects Error: Photoshop File format error 1. (45::35)" in AE CS 6 with .IFF's from Maya. I know this is nothing new, this problem has been around for a loooooong time.
We like here at ABC like .IFF since it's native to Maya and a small file with alpha.
Close and open AE and it works for a while then the error appears, rather than me doing a work around and converting to another format, my question is: When do you think Adobe will have a solution?
Ray

The better question actually is: When will Autodesk stop "enhancing" the IFF format? There really is two sides to the equation and as long as Autodesk implement undocumented changes (including trivial stuff like incrementing the IFF version number in the metadata), any other company can only paly catch-up. Also the format has this odd "quality" where byte errors do not necessarily affect the visible data, so rendering errors may not actualyl show up unless you open the files in anotehr program. I understand your rationale for using it, but it really is not the best format for heterogenous workflows involving apps from different vendors. TIFFs are so much nicer...

Invalid Keystore Format error

we need to configure an SSO from SAP portal and a third party website by passing encrypted userid as url parameters.
To configure the SSO I have received the public key of the third party and able to access it from server location. Now I have to access priavte key of the SAP Portal certificate and sign the UserId and pass it as url parameter. I have gone through many blogs and written code as below which is giving Invalid Keystore Format error.
My question is
1. What should be passed to FileInputStream?
As of now we are passing the .cer file which is stored as part of project.
Below code is throwing error at ks.load() method.
String fielPath1 = request.getPublicResourcePath()+"/SAPLogonTicketKeypair-cert1.cer";
FileInputStream ksfis = new FileInputStream(fielPath1);
KeyStore ks = KeyStore.getInstance("JKS");
ks.load(null, sPass.toCharArray());
BufferedInputStream ksbufin = new BufferedInputStream(ksfis);
ks.load(ksbufin, sPass.toCharArray());
PrivateKey priv = (PrivateKey) ks.getKey(alias, kPass.toCharArray());
Error is:
Invalid keystore formatsun.security.provider.JavaKeyStore.engineLoad(JavaKeyStore.java:633)sun.security.provider.JavaKeyStore$JKS.engineLoad(JavaKeyStore.java:38)java.security.KeyStore.load(KeyStore.java:1185)am_sso_apc.doContent(am_sso_apc.java:132)com.sapportals.portal.prt.component.AbstractPortalComponent.serviceDeprecated(AbstractPortalComponent.java:213)
Please let me know how to pass the filepath to extract the priavte key .
Regards,
Satish

I found the solution. As follows:
keytool -list -keytool keytoolfile -storetype jceks
