[former_member2492]

I am in me9L and trying to print a smartform however it doesnt print,when I switch on sftrace it gives me this error:

and the footer has this problem:

can anyone help me identify this problem where is the problem ?

[Sandra_Rossi]

Too small window. Enlarge the window and try again.

sandra.rossi I have tried it but its not it

[former_member2492]

I tried even deleting it but it wont work either...

[Sandra_Rossi]

I searched the Web and they give the solution.

"overflow of non main window" site:sap.com

Your window overflows the page size. It's also better explained in the details of the message SSFCOMPOSER 173.

sandra.rossi I made it smaller too but still doest show...

[Sandra_Rossi]

In fact, you and I were confused by the messages.

You are talking about overflow which is one of the messages, but the other one (SSFCOMPOSER 610) says that the text is not found.

So, nothing is output because the text is not found. Simple as that.

sandra.rossi gotit but how do I solve it?what should I do in this case....

[former_member16553]

You have to create the text. If you are using standard text then create it in S010 and then refer same in the form. Thanks.

girdhari.mondal I tried that but yet nothing comes out...what could the problem be?

[former_member2492]

when I got to another order in me9F it gives me these additional messages

[Sandra_Rossi]

It's impossible to help you. Clearly, the text doesn't exist, and you don't seem to be able to create it, or to mention the right text number in the Smart Form. What I can think of is wrong client, wrong language, etc. If you can't fix it yourself, then show screenshots of everything concerned by the topic.

Note that hardcoding the language is usually not best practice.

but should there be any error msg if I check the checkbox? do not know really what could the prb be

[Sandra_Rossi]

I don't understand what you want to do, could you clarify?

If your problem is to output a standard text or whatever, do a test with an existing text.

The checkbox just says to not produce an error if the text doesn't exist.

the smartform doesnt output at all,when I do sftrace it gives me these errors.I want to visualize the smartform but dont know why it is not showing

[venkateswaran_k]

Hi

We shall go by elimination steps.

First , Open the smartform and make the condition as false - for that Text Element ( which believed to be error)

Then execute the smartform and let us know if you are able to view the form.

[former_member2492]

venkateswaran.k i can execute the smartform with F8 from smartforms transaction but when I am in me9F it does not show.even if I delete that text element still does not show

[venkateswaran_k]

Since you say, it is working when you execute it from Smartform t-code.

Please check the following

1. NACE setting - your dirver program and smartform settings

2. Put a break point in the driver program and see from ME9F - it catches the driver program

3. Debug further - what is missing in smartform

[Sandra_Rossi]

Did you make sure that it runs with exactly same parameters in SMARTFORMS and in ME9F?

[former_member2492]

sandra.rossi I don't get to decide the parameters in SMARTFORMS. in ME9F yes. when I remove the footer it only gives me: Overflow of non main window.
