WRITE_FORM is invalid, OPEN_FORM is missing

karuna_gangireddy — Mon, 16 Dec 2013 14:48:36 GMT

Hi All,

I am getting the error no. TD423 with the error message 'WRITE_FORM is invalid, OPEN_FORM is missing'. I checked most of the discussions but coudln't get an answer yet.

This is what i did:

1. NACE setting:

MEDIUM PROGRAM FORM Routine Form PDF/Smartform Form TYPE

External Send - <Program Name> - ENTRY - BLANK - <SMARTFORM Name> - SMARTFORM

2. Open the order in VA02

- Extras -> Output -> Header - > Edit -> Added a entry

Output TYpe Desc Medium Funtion Partner Lang

ZAK1 Order External Send SP XXXX EN

3. Extras -> Output -> Header - > Print Preview -> Slected the above entry -> Clicked in Preview

I am getting the error here.

Checked:

1. The sold-to had the email in XD03.

2. I Debugged the Print program -

- It stopped at NAST-NACHA EQ 5. The CALL FUNCTION 'ADDR_GET_NEXT_COMM_TYPE' is returning SY-SUBRC = 5.

Can anyone please help me to find where the issue is?

Thanks in advance,

Karuna

It seems you're trying to create a pirnt (in your case for email) without to open it.

Check your print program where the OPEN_FORM fm is called.

Hi Max,

Thank you for your quick reply. That is correct. When i was debugging the found:

- ENTRY form calling -> Processing Form calling -> RVADOPFO.

In RVADOPFO, the OPEN_FORM is all the way at the end and the 'ADDR_GET_NEXT_COMM_TYPE'

at the beginning.

But as it is SAP code i thought this is how it should be. Because i did not code any custom code yet, i am

under impression that this should work.

This is the part where i am confused.

Thanks again,

Karuna

Hi Max,

I see what you are saying. As i mentioned the medium as 5 (EMail) and trying to print print preview that is was causing the error?

I just clicked OK instead of clicking on Print Preview. But still I do not see any emails sending out.

Thanks,

Karuna

I've checked the include RVADOPFO, this is the std code to open a form, the fm ADDR_GET_NEXT_COMM_TYPE is to format the address data, if this fm returns excpetion = 5, you should check which parameter is missing or is wrong.

As you can see in the following code RVADOPFO

IF NOT NAST-TCODE IS INITIAL AND NAST-NACHA EQ '5'.

* ... use stratagy to get communication type

CALL FUNCTION 'ADDR_GET_NEXT_COMM_TYPE'

EXPORTING

STRATEGY = NAST-TCODE

* ADDRESS_TYPE =

* ADDRESS_NUMBER = VBDKA-ADRNR

* PERSON_NUMBER = VBDKA-ADRNP

ADDRESS_NUMBER = ADDR_KEY-ADDRNUMBER

PERSON_NUMBER = ADDR_KEY-PERSNUMBER

IMPORTING

COMM_TYPE = LVS_COMM_TYPE

COMM_VALUES = LVS_COMM_VALUES

* TABLES

* STRATEGY_TABLE =

EXCEPTIONS

ADDRESS_NOT_EXIST = 1

PERSON_NOT_EXIST = 2

NO_COMM_TYPE_FOUND = 3

INTERNAL_ERROR = 4

PARAMETER_ERROR = 5

OTHERS = 6.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

retcode = sy-subrc.

SYST-MSGTY = 'E'.

perform protocol_update.

ENDIF.

* convert communication data

MOVE-CORRESPONDING NAST TO LVS_SNAST.

MOVE SY-REPID TO LVF_PROGRAM.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_COMM_TYPE_DATA'

EXPORTING

PI_COMM_TYPE = LVS_COMM_TYPE

PI_COMM_VALUES = LVS_COMM_VALUES

PI_SCREEN = US_SCREEN

* PI_NEWID =

PI_COUNTRY = US_COUNTRY

PI_REPID = LVF_PROGRAM

PI_SNAST = LVS_SNAST

IMPORTING

PE_ITCPO = LVS_ITCPO

PE_DEVICE = LVF_DEVICE

PE_MAIL_RECIPIENT = LVS_RECIPIENT

PE_MAIL_SENDER = LVS_SENDER

EXCEPTIONS

COMM_TYPE_NOT_SUPPORTED = 1

RECIPIENT_CREATION_FAILED = 2

SENDER_CREATION_FAILED = 3

OTHERS = 4.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

RETCODE = SY-SUBRC.

SYST-MSGTY = 'E'.

PERFORM PROTOCOL_UPDATE.

ENDIF.

check retcode eq 0. <--------------------------------------

The progam stops the running if RETCODE (so the sy.subrc ) is not equal 0

That means if the fm ADDR_GET_NEXT_COMM_TYPE fails, the fm OPEN_FORMS is not called.

Now the problem is to know the rest of you code, because the include RVADOPFO should be placed in the routine like this:

FORM FORM_OPEN USING US_SCREEN US_COUNTRY.

INCLUDE RVADOPFO.

ENDFORM.

and that routine should be called in your print program, like this:

PERFORM FORM_OPEN USING PROC_SCREEN VBDKL-LAND1.

CHECK RETCODE = 0.

It's very import the check after the form, because if the form raises an error, the print program is stopped without any error.

Just as I said before the problem is in fm ADDR_GET_NEXT_COMM_TYPE, this fm fails and so the fm OPEN_FORM is not called....now I can't understand why your program is not stopped, but it still goes on and so you have the error.

I suppose you have no mail because your program doesn't move the correct device, in my release the code of RVADOPFO is:

CALL FUNCTION 'ADDR_GET_NEXT_COMM_TYPE'

EXPORTING

STRATEGY = NAST-TCODE

* ADDRESS_TYPE =

* ADDRESS_NUMBER = VBDKA-ADRNR

* PERSON_NUMBER = VBDKA-ADRNP

ADDRESS_NUMBER = ADDR_KEY-ADDRNUMBER

PERSON_NUMBER = ADDR_KEY-PERSNUMBER

IMPORTING

COMM_TYPE = LVS_COMM_TYPE

COMM_VALUES = LVS_COMM_VALUES

* TABLES

* STRATEGY_TABLE =

EXCEPTIONS

ADDRESS_NOT_EXIST = 1

PERSON_NOT_EXIST = 2

NO_COMM_TYPE_FOUND = 3

INTERNAL_ERROR = 4

PARAMETER_ERROR = 5

OTHERS = 6.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

retcode = sy-subrc.

SYST-MSGTY = 'E'.

perform protocol_update.

ENDIF.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

RETCODE = SY-SUBRC.

SYST-MSGTY = 'E'.

PERFORM PROTOCOL_UPDATE.

ENDIF.

check retcode eq 0.

* if there is no communication type

IF LVS_COMM_TYPE IS INITIAL.

* set device

CASE NAST-NACHA.

WHEN '1'.

LVF_DEVICE = 'PRINTER'.

WHEN '2'.

LVF_DEVICE = 'TELEFAX'.

LVS_ITCPO-TDTELENUM = NAST-TELFX.

IF NAST-TLAND IS INITIAL.

WHEN OTHERS.

ENDCASE.

ENDIF.

LVF_DEVICE has to be equal to MAIL, this value should be returned by fm CONVERT_COMM_TYPE_DATA, which is your value?

But (of course) I don't know if your system is available for sending mail....have you checked it?

Hi Max,

Yes, the system is all set to send out emails. I check SCOT and SOST. I found the problem. The reason it was saying OPEN_FORM was missing was for some reason it did not have values for
ADDR_KEY-ADDRNUMBER and ADDR_KEY-PERSNUMBER.

I wrote a snippet:

addr_key-addrnumber = vbdka-adrnr.
addr_key-persnumber = vbdka-adrnp.
addr_key-addr_type = vbdka-address_type.

just before calling include 'rvadopfo'. This is how i was able to cross that huddle. But stuck into another:

write_form is invalid, START_form is missing

I found out that the OPEN_FORM parameter FORM is not being set in case of medium 5. which is why rstxc-tdclose would set to 'X' and thus the error.

Trying to figure why FORM parameter is set with PRINT option and not with email? Any Idea?

Thanks for all your time,

Karuna

Try to check the result of fm CONVERT_COMM_TYPE_DATA: it should return the device, if device is initial then it's setted to PRINT by default:

* if there is no communication type

IF LVS_COMM_TYPE IS INITIAL.

* set device

CASE NAST-NACHA.

WHEN '1'.

LVF_DEVICE = 'PRINTER'.

WHEN '2'.

LVF_DEVICE = 'TELEFAX'.

LVS_ITCPO-TDTELENUM = NAST-TELFX.

IF NAST-TLAND IS INITIAL.

LVS_ITCPO-TDTELELAND = US_COUNTRY.

ELSE.

LVS_ITCPO-TDTELELAND = NAST-TLAND.

ENDIF.

LVS_ITCPO-TDSENDDATE = NAST-VSDAT.

LVS_ITCPO-TDSENDTIME = NAST-VSURA.

LVS_ITCPO-TDFAXUSER = NAST-USNAM.

WHEN '3'.

LVF_DEVICE = 'TELETEX'.

LVS_ITCPO-TDTELENUM = NAST-TELTX.

IF NAST-TLAND IS INITIAL.

LVS_ITCPO-TDTELELAND = US_COUNTRY.

ELSE.

LVS_ITCPO-TDTELELAND = NAST-TLAND.

ENDIF.

LVS_ITCPO-TDSENDDATE = NAST-VSDAT.

LVS_ITCPO-TDSENDTIME = NAST-VSURA.

WHEN '4'.

LVF_DEVICE = 'TELEX'.

LVS_ITCPO-TDTELENUM = NAST-TELX1.

IF NAST-TLAND IS INITIAL.

LVS_ITCPO-TDTELELAND = US_COUNTRY.

ELSE.

Re: WRITE_FORM is invalid, OPEN_FORM is missing

karuna_gangireddy — Tue, 17 Dec 2013 18:08:01 GMT

Thanks Max. The device is coming as MAIL. But the value for TNAPR-FONAM is EMPTY. I tried giving the SMARTFORM name in the debug mode but it still fails in the READ_FORM.

OPEN FORM calling ->LOAD_FORM calling-> GENERATE _FORM calling -> READ_FORM in which FOUND is returned as FALSE and thus the error.

Issue1: The TNAPR-FONAM is not assigned the SMARTFORM name.

Issue2: Even if i give the name SF - R2RBL_SDORC_L in debugging it is ending in error as this entry is not in STXH table.

I am not able to figure out these. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Karuna

Re: WRITE_FORM is invalid, OPEN_FORM is missing

Former Member — Wed, 18 Dec 2013 11:26:14 GMT

But your program needs to use a sapscript or a smartform?

TNAPR-FONAM should have the name of the sapscript

TNAPR-SFORM should have the name of the smartform

But if you need to use the smartform instead of the sapscript I suppose the ruotine to be called should be different.

You are running the routine for sapscript, so it can't works for smartform

Re: WRITE_FORM is invalid, OPEN_FORM is missing

karuna_gangireddy — Wed, 18 Dec 2013 14:35:44 GMT

Oh? I need to use SMARTFORM and not SAPSCRIPT. So RVADOR1 is not for SMARTFORMS? How do i know what routine to use for SMARTFORMS Max?

Thanks,

Karuna

Re: WRITE_FORM is invalid, OPEN_FORM is missing

karuna_gangireddy — Wed, 18 Dec 2013 14:42:24 GMT

Max,

I was just checking the table TNAPR with SFORM = R2RBL_SDORC_L (SMARTFORM name). I see that PGNAM = ZRVADOR1.

Thanks,

Re: WRITE_FORM is invalid, OPEN_FORM is missing

karuna_gangireddy — Thu, 19 Dec 2013 21:36:09 GMT

Yes Max. Thanks for all your inputs. I was able to find the print program for smartforms. The print program is: R2RRVADOR01. I did not do much in here. It worked as it is.

Thanks,

Hello dears, I've just faced with "WRITE_FORM is invalid, OPEN_FORM is missing" during printing with Snatcher. And i have no idea about what this is "Check your print program where the OPEN_FORM fm is called". I don't know start from where. Can you guys help me ?
