Solved: Smartforms Error - Printing Pound Symbol

Hello SAP-Gurus,

We have a couple of customized smartforms. They were working fine until last Friday. Basis applied some patches and after that the PO form is priting the character '#' for every other character that has to be printed!

Please help me out if you have come across similar situations!

FYI...here are the current patch levels of our core components.

Hi Shyam,

I did have similar problem long back. The smartform we used to work properly and then after some time it started behaving mysteriously. We could find nothing wrong with the form and The only reason we could come up is that the smartform gets corrupted after few activations. So we tried to recreate the form. So try to create a new smartform with a different name and try to copy part by part into the new smartform. Generate the form and try to execute the FM in between. I am very positive that the problem may not come with the new form. Once you are done you can delete the original and rename the new form to actual name. Don't copy the form entirely but rather copy part by part(like at window level). Hope this works.

Thanks

Hi Sam,

we are actually confronted with the same Problem. We are on the same Basis Patch level and the same HCM Patch Level. Do you tried to copy the form step by step? Did it work?

Thanks for your reply.

Regards,

Philipp
