Smartform - Command Node Issue

Hi Super-Techies,
I am facing a strange issue in smartform. When I am using a command node to trigger a page, in the main window 1 table needs to get triggered (but it si not triggering). When I try to print the same table without any command node (i.e. in the same page) its working fine and the table data is being displayed.
But when I make use of command node to trigger to new page, All other windows are getting executed except the main window table.
Note; I have made use of 2 tables in main window. Normally 1st table should print, once new page is triggered, 2nd table should print and not the 1st one.
Can anyone help me out of this strange issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Vinit

Hi Vinit ,
In order to print data you require upon using command node , you need to display it on a secondary window.
Steps :
1) create secondary window .
2) provide table n related details .
3) u need not have a main window (optional) ;as data in main window won't be displayed.
This is the way I resolved the same issue .Hope it helps .
Thanks & regards,

Command node inside the dynamic table

Hi experts,
I have a problem regarding on using a command node inside a dynamic table in main window.. I tried inserting a command node in the header of the table then when running my print program i will receive an exception = 2 which is internal error and when i tried to execute the smartform using its FM it will have an error saying 'No explicit page break possible in tables'. I also tried putting the command node in nodes MAIN AREA and FOOTER.
Here's the question.
How can i explicitly put page break while i'm looping in a table?
higheest rewards if successful.
thanks in advance.

Use a command line node and put
BREAK-POINT.
in that node, save and activate. I have only put such a node in the main section of a table but I don't see why you couldn't put one in the header or footer as well.

Thanks in Advance,
Thanks&Regards
Geetha

HI,
plz explain your problem in deeply.
And as per me you first create page and righ click on it
Then create window as per your requirement.
if you want to put condition ot events true or false Righ click on your window
then goto flow logic -> Altenative
You can found 2 events in Condition.
So you can assign this events.If you want to put condition or event on test then goto Text here in General Attributes in bottom side you can find even on page.
Try it.

Use of loop node in smartforms

Hi ,
Can anyone explain me in detail what is the use of the loop node in smartforms.
I want to repeat the two successor nodes alone until the loop ends .after the loop ends then only the third successor node should be executed.can we do this by using loop node. If yes please explain me how we can do this.
Thanks,
Rose.

Hi,
Yes, this is possible. Include the two nodes in the loop of the internal table. The third node should be outside the loop

Rules regarding Command Node

Hello Experts,
I know that a Command node can only be used in the Main window. Can anybody confirm that its not possible to use a Command node to provide a page throw when printing from a Table.
I have included a line count and want to throw to next page using a Command node depending on the number of lines I'm printing within my table.
Its not producing any print or even any reason for the lack of any print.
I have placed the Command node after table just to test it and it works fine.
If a Command node won't work when printing a table. How can I control the way the form looks?
Best Regards
MikeSpear.

Hi Mike,
1) Build your outer loop table to contain one entry per record type. So if you have two different record types the outer table will contain two rows (one per record type).
2) Create a loop over the outer table. Have a command node to page break at the start of each loop pass.
3) Create a table loop within the outer loop. Set the WHERE condition to loop over only those rows where record type = record type from outer loop.
That should be it. This will give you a page break for each row in the outer table.

Command issue in smartform main window table footer

Hello Experts ,
I got an issue , that really puzzled me ! hope you could help .
In my smart form main window I have a loop node inside loop node is a table , and there is a footer in this table node.
in footer event , I only set check box 'at page Break' , and in footer , I created a command to goto another page, but when I preview the layout , there comes an error : 'Page break is allowed only in the main window' . I didn't create any command outside the mainwindow.
anyone know how this happened ? how should I correct it ?
or you can tell me antother method to goto a new page when page break .
Thank you in advance!
Kevin
Edited by: kevin wang on Mar 13, 2010 12:46 PM

Hi,
The problem may due to not Selecting at the "End of Table" in the footer node.
My Assumption: According to my understanding since you have selected with at "Page break" only, this night be triggering at every page break and since you have mentioned Goto Next page using command node without printing on the current page.
You can try by selecting the "At the End of Table" for Footer node, then it should work correctly.
If you want a Page break after the Footer, then place it after Footer Node, then it should work.
Thanks & Regards,
Vamsi.

Debug a particular node of SMARTFORM

Hai Fellas,
How to debug a particular node of Smartforms.
I dont want to debug it from the begining.
There is a restiction I can't add anything as the code is in Quality server.
i.e no break points can be hardcoded using program line.
Best Regards,
Suvendu.

Hi,
Just for debugging you cant write break-point statement and u cant transport,the best practice is go to smartforms ,there will be a option find the function module.Go to Se37 give the function module name,go to display mode,search for ur field or internal table or a work area,keep the break-point ,and then run the smart form ,this is way that we can debug in quality and production systems
Thanks

Is it possible to update a Command node on just the First Page?

Hello Experts,
I am attempting to add a line count with a value on the condition tab of a Command node but it keeps also applying the same change to the same Command node on the NEXT page. I want to add the linecount to the subsequent Command node but with a different value. Is it possible to only make changes to the command node on one page without also changing the command node on another page. I tried the settings under 'And additional event' Only on first page etc but it didn't make any difference
The Command node is located in the Main window within a Table node just before the footer.
Regards
Mike Spear.

Hello Experts,
Thanks for taking the trouble to reply.
I find which ever conditions I set on the command node on first page also appear on command node of next page.
I'm using the command node to throw to a new page depending on a linecount. Because the main window on the next page is longer than the main window on the first page the linecount is a larger number.
Best Regards
Mike.
