Smartform - problem with main window

Question

Hi all,
I have following windows in my smartform first page.
First Page
  -> secondary window 1
  -> secondary window 2
  -> main window
       1 template1
       2 template2
       3 command node
  -> secondary window 3
I have the same windows in  my next page. I am using the command node in main window for some specific condition to implement page break to next page. I am getting the next page with all the contents from the secondary windows but for some reason the main window in second page is not diplayed.
Please help me. Waiting....

Hi Raju,
  One possible solution can be... first fix number of rows in a page. Then in the INITILIZATION use DESCRIBE command on your internal table. Then divide the number of lines by the number of line you have already fixed to be printed on a page. This will give the number of pages.
  Now what you can do is... in your first page take a table node. In that create a  table line with 13 columns and place the first 13 columns in that.
Then take a ALTERNATIVE node with condition sy-page = the number of pages which you have already calculated.
For this ALTERNATIVE node in the TRUE node take a COMMAND NODE  with NEXT_PAGE(second page) in GO-TO-NEW-PAGE field.
And in the FALSE node take another COMMAND NODE with FIRST_PAGE(current page) in the GO-TO-NEW-PAGE field.
Untill unless you will reach the last page(which we have calculated) this condition will become false and hence the COMMAND NODE in the FALSE node will trigger and the current page will be triggered. This completes the printing of 13 columns for all your internal table rows.
Now in the NEXT_PAGE(second page) take another TABLE node and again create a new table line with the next 13 columns(14 to 26). And assign NEXT_PAGE in the Next Page field of this page(next page... hope you are not confused ). This will print the remaininig 13 lines.
But the problem with this solution is that the user has to sort the pages after getting the printouts and also the number of rows that will be printed are fixed on a page.
