Smart Form INTERNAL_ERROR --- SSFCOMPOSER 171

0 Kudos

While processing a Smart Form, the following error message is given even though the Smart Form is free from any Syntax error.

MESSAGE E171(SSFCOMPOSER) which has the following text

Nested output of tables is not possible.

This is caused by overlapping templates. Template T1 is inside Window W1. You define another Template T2 in another Window W2 which lies just below W1. T1 has text elements in it. If the texts inside template T1 including BLANK lines(which makes it difficult to detect)goes below the upper limit of T2 inside W2, then the above message is given and processing stops.

This overlapping of templates CANNOT be detected during generation / syntax checking of the Smart Form. The processing stops as soon as template T2 is processed.

The content of one Template should not overlap with the content of the next template.

Hi Tarun,

what exactly is your problem with 'The content of one Template should not overlap with the content of the next template.'?

Is it OK to have two separate loops, can you combine your data into one table or do you want to know, in which way a inner loop on second table can be designed in smartforms?

Regards,

Christian
