I have given both start and write forms.

Please clarify it.

hi nasru,

there is no need of using start form in your code and one thing set the parameter element in your write form like

element = ' pur'.

and same in text of your main window.

like this example

/* HEADER ITEM

/: TOP

HI MATERIAL NO ,, CREATED BY ,, MATERIAL TYPE

HI &SY-ULINE(50)&

/: ENDTOP

/* LINE_ITEM

/E MATERIAL

LI &ITAB-MATNR&,,,,&ITAB-ERNAM&,,,,&ITAB-MTART&

HERE /E REPRESENT THE ELEMENT .

TABLES: MARA.

DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,

MATNR LIKE MARA-MATNR,

ERNAM LIKE MARA-ERNAM,

MTART LIKE MARA-MTART,

END OF ITAB.

SELECT MATNR ERNAM MTART FROM MARA INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE

ITAB.

CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'

EXPORTING

DEVICE = 'PRINTER'

DIALOG = 'X'

FORM = 'ZVIJS1'

LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU.

LOOP AT ITAB.

CALL FUNCTION WRITE_FORM

EXPORTING

ELEMENT = 'MATERIAL'

FUNCTION = 'SET'

TYPE = 'BODY'

WINDOW = 'MAIN'.

ENDLOOP.

CALL FUNCTION 'END_FORM'

USE START FORM ONLY IN THAT CASE WHEN U WANNA TO USE MORE THAN ONE FORM IN YOUR ONE SCRIPT OR WANNA TO USE DIFFERENT FORMATTING FOR DIFFERENT PAGE THEN YOU CAN USE START FORM.

hi,

u must follow this sequence for calling the fm..

open_form.

start_form.

write_form.

end_form.

close_form.

[Former Member]

HI

I think you have this FM call in loop

here you might have called write form again after calling close form without calling start form,..

just tell me the sequence ,that how you are calling these in your program

Hi Narsu,

I think there is no need of using the start_form, you can simple use as

open_form / write_form / close_form.

Also if you are using any loops or printing any table controls then just use as this

open_form.

loop at itab.

write_form.

endloop.

close_form.

Hi Nasru,

If you are using only one page in your script then go to page1 there in the page attributes, there will be an option for Next page, give the first page name itself there. This will solve your problem.

Reward points if useful.
