Problem with SMARTFORM.

[Former Member]

Hi!I have a problem in SMARTFORM

-> "Exception FORMATTING_ERROR"

"message id SSFCOMPOSER Message number: 159".

This message appeared only in TEST environnment, but in DEV environnment is ok, no problem! Why its happen?

Thanks for answers...

Try to compare the form in both the environments. Ideally you should not have a error. Probably you don't have right page format in the TEST environment that exists in the DEV.

Take a look at SPAD transaction for the same.

Hi,

Before calling the Smartform use "SMARTFORM_TRACE" in both the development and Testing server.

then u can get the solution.

maybe the page format is not configured with the printer in TEST environment.

Goto SPAD.

Click the "Extended Admin" button in the application Toolbar.

Select "Device Types" Tab.

<u><b>First:</b></u>

Click the "<b>Format Types</b>" button.In this option u can check ur Format type is available or not.(Use the Find option). Check it in the Dev and TEST server.

<u><b>Second:</b></u>

Click the <b>"Device type"</b>

Give ur Device Name.

and Double Click the "Dev.Type".

In that screen u click the "Formats button" in the application toolbar.

Here u can check the Page format is available for ur printer.(In Dev and TEST server).

Hope it will help you.

Have you using this FM after calling the Smartform : 'SSF_READ_ERRORS'

data: IT_ERRORTAB TYPE TSFERROR.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_READ_ERRORS'

IMPORTING

ERRORTAB = IT_ERRORTAB.

endif.

then loop the error table.
