Hi Vinay,

Check the size of windows or templates ,may be it exceeds the specified output options.

If you give the dump details you will get more relevant solutions.

Hi vinay,

You have to check whether any of the windows or templates are getting overlapped on each other,or whether the contents are not getting fitted into the windows/template. Check the output type also .

Hi Vinay

The formatting errors occurs whenever you use the template and in the template specifications are not correct.

Example

if you use the template of  3 rows and 2 colums and if you specify the field output specificaitons beyound this 3 rows and 2 col .. this error will occcur.

Please review

1. All the templates

2. In side each template, for the field output spcificaiton verify your row and col specifications are correct

goto tcode sftrace, tick error and then trigger the form, if it stops at any error check the sy-msgid, sy-msgno etc
