I have a smartform which works fine in development client but not in test client.
After transporting the form and program to testing client, I can't see the Print Preview of the smartform on the screen.
I can see the screen where I can click the 'PRINT PREVIEW' button but after clicking it, it does not display anything on screen.
While debugging its calling the correct function module 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' and passes the form name. I use this in the FM ' CALL FUNCTION XXX'. But after this it does not dispaly the preview on the screen
Any idea where the problem can be. Is it some config, or client setting etc. Your help is really appreciated.
A graphic was not transported and hence the error.
Thanks for the right advice.
On second thoughts, is there a way to determine before transporting the standard texts, graphics etc that have been used in Smartform. This can help prevent such errors.
You should check all those elements in production, but if you have created an own program to drive the smartforms you should insert the fm SSF_READ_ERRORS, this fm returns all error messages.
So if SF is failed, you can get out the errors by SSF_READ_ERRORS and write a log (instead of showing the print) to know the errors have occurred.
You can avoid errors like Graphic not found or Standard texts not found. But you have to add some program lines before calling Graphic or Standard text .
Example: Program lines before Graphic :
Please check the GRAPHIC in table "STXBITMAPS" as TDOBJECT = 'GRAPHICS" and TDNAME = 'Your Graphicname".
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
Set a flag V_FLAG = 'X'.
Then at graphic element check this at conditions as print only if V_FLAG <> 'X'.
For standard :
You can check the <u>check box "No Error if no text Exists"</u>.
Other technique :
Same way you can do for standard text by looking in to tables "STXH and STXL" .
We are using this technique for not to print Text label if standard text not present.
