Hi Anand,

The error in write_form is because you have set TYPE as 'BODY' for a variable window. Only main window will have types as 'TOP', 'BODY' and 'BOTTOM'.

Remove the type and it will work fine.

Award points if useful.

hi anand,

please check whether you have mentioned the next page in SE71...

for example if there are 2 pages...PAGE1 and PAGE2

for PAGE1 mention next page as PAGE2 and for PAGE2 mention next page as PAGE2

this would defineitely solve ur problem..

please reward points incase useful..
