this is the procedure....

CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'

EXPORTING

form = gv_label_name

device = 'PRINTER'

OPTIONS = itcpo

dialog = ' '.

LOOP AT lt_final_mg INTO wa_final_ssf.

CALL FUNCTION 'START_FORM'

EXPORTING

form = gc_big

program = sy-repid.

CALL FUNCTION 'END_FORM'.

CLEAR wa_final_ssf.

ENDLOOP.

CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'.

thank you your solution resolves part of the problem the write invalid and the start form missing one but still its not looping its printing just one record.

You can try like this.

the flow will be like this..

data : count type i.

open_form.

start_form.

loop at itab.

count = count + 1.

write_form.

if count gt 8.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONTROL_FORM'

EXPORTING

COMMAND = 'NEW_PAGE'

EXCEPTIONS

UNOPENED = 1

UNSTARTED = 2

OTHERS = 3

.

clear : count

endif.

endloop.

end_form.

close_form.
