smartform did not come out, help!

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

i've done smartforms a few times & never encounter this problem before. My smartform didn't come out after i clicked on the print preview button on the print dialog box. i've debug my programs and can ensure you that there's plenty of data in my internal table and if i've put some write statements to confirm it, the data is written.

can anyone tell me where i should be looking at? i'm really stuck as of why the smartform didn't come out.

thanks.

Hi,

Are you passing the internal table contents from program?

If so,the table structure you are passing should be in ABAP dictionary.Otherwise,define the structure.In smartform->Form Interface->Tables

itab <b>like</b> structure_name

In the smartform program lines,write break-point and make sure that you have internal table contents inside the smartform also.

Kindly reward points by clicking the star on the let of reply,if it helps.

yep i'm passing internal table contents from program to the smartform & the table structure is defined in abap dictionary & declared in smartforms' form interface as well.

i will try break-point to ensure my internal table have contents in smartform as well then.

i've tried the breakpoint in smartform, my internal table is filled with data as it is filled in my program.

anywhere else i should be looking at?

Hi,

I hope you should be using text element somewhere inside loop or table in smartform.Drag the text element from the field list and place it inside the loop.You can debug the function module of the smartform itself.

Hi ,

ok cool .

ok do one thing instead of checking the printpreview check print button and see if spool request is created once the spool is created check it from sp01 transaction.

omg omg if i just print it straight away, the whole thing just printed perfectly.

tq so much!!

any tips to avoid this must print directly & can't print preview thingy?

[Former Member]

i still need my form to be print preview instead of must print directly

r u running the program or running the layout.

if u r using any std program then check NACE configurations and if u r using the se38 program then check whether u r call the SSF_function module name and then callling the FM_name(i mean ur smartform FM) and also check whether data is popu;ated in the text elements properly.also ensure u can see the prwview of the layout first.

it's not a std program and i'm running the program that calls the smartforms.

i've tested the layout in the smartforms itself & it's working perfectly.

anyway i've check my function module in the program, it should be correct also - i've called the ssf function module & then the smartform function module.

i guess i have to check the data population now
