Former Member — Wed, 01 Feb 2006 16:55:50 GMT

Hi all,

I have designed a form and I am trying to send data from the print program.But I get an error message saying

"write_form is invalid start_form is missing".

I am sending the whole code of my program. Can you please check and tell me where I am going wrong.

Hi Varun,

You have to define OPEN_FORM first then START_FORM.

Sequence:

OPEN_FORM

START_FORM

WRITE_FORM

CLOSE_FORM

Example :

CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'

EXPORTING

DEVICE = 'PRINTER'

DIALOG = SPACE

FORM = FORM

LANGUAGE = PRINT_CO-SPRAS

OPTIONS = PR_OPTIONS

EXCEPTIONS

CANCELED = 01

DEVICE = 02

FORM = 03

OPTIONS = 04

UNCLOSED = 05.

CALL FUNCTION 'START_FORM'.

Hi Murthy,

I tried a form yesterday with out using start_form, it worked. So I think it is not mandatory for me to use start_form. Even though I use it gives me a message saying form not actibated even though it is activated.

Varun.

Hi Varun,

Can you just see that your report name & the form names are different.Just create a new report with a diff name & paste this code.

Re: Sapscript WRITE_FORM

Former Member — Wed, 01 Feb 2006 17:19:36 GMT

Hi,

Please check whether your form exists or not.

I too got the same error. (I did not create the form)

Hi Phani,

The report name and script name are same.I dont know where they are differing.By the way whats the deal with names? I have specified the correct name of the form in the program.

Regards,

Varun.

Hi Varun,

See that they are different.

Re: Sapscript WRITE_FORM

Former Member — Wed, 01 Feb 2006 17:26:53 GMT

Hi Varun,

It is not mandatory to use START_FORM. I just mentioned because you are getting an error mesage for START_FORM.

Check your form is activeted or not. I think you have to define Options at OPEN_FORM.

Hi varun,

I just checked your code,its working fine for me even with the same names for program & form.try to activate the form & see.

Re: Sapscript WRITE_FORM

Former Member — Wed, 01 Feb 2006 17:38:49 GMT

Hi Varun,

There is no need that you must have a different name at form and program. you code looks OK. Only thing mat be missing is your script activation.

Put a break point on the perform open_form and execute your program. Now, exactly at which point are you getting the errror?

Also, in write_form, you are exporting a text-element called 'MAIN'. Check if you have defined it in your form.

Re: Sapscript WRITE_FORM

Former Member — Wed, 01 Feb 2006 17:43:47 GMT

This happens when it is not able to recognise ur open_form statement. Either it is not executing Open_Form before Write_Form or ur SAPSCRIPT name maybe wrong. Debug n find out this.Put ur BP at Open_Form statement n c the sapscript name u r passing n chk if it is correct or not.

Hope it helps.

In ur write form u have given a text element MYPAGE1

in ur form go to editor , there in command use /E .

/E - used to create the text element.

Re: Sapscript WRITE_FORM

Call The Open_Form and Start_Form Function before your loop statement and then call the Write_Form within the loop and the close_form after the endloop...it should work fine....

Re: Sapscript WRITE_FORM

Former Member — Tue, 02 Jan 2007 07:02:36 GMT

Hi varun,

1. There can be possibly one reason.

2. a) make sure the OPEN_FORM has worked out successfully.

Check sy-subrc is 0 immeditately after this FM.

(when open form is encountered, the system will display

a window for choosing the print options.

If this window is not displayed, then it means, there is some problem.

amit m.

Hi,

This issue might also happen if the data getting printed is being spilled on the second page and SAP Script does not have a next page and corresponding windows to handle it.

SantoshKallem — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 15:13:11 GMT

how many pages do u have in the script.

if u have one page, give the page name in first page and next page also.

this will solve your problem.

first page FIRST

next page FIRST

reward if solves.
