Hello,

i am getting an error in script as WRITE_FORM is invalid, START_FORM is missing for invoice, its working for many but only for certain some invoice its not working and i have found out where the problem is but i am not able to get solution .The error is because i have included another window which is called by writeform can any one say why only for PERFORM WRITEFORM error has come and also for certain values .

close_form should e the last .....if write it in between ...then u have use open_form

and then write_form....

Hi Anand,

The error in write_form is because you have set TYPE as 'BODY' for a variable window. Only main window will have types as 'TOP', 'BODY' and 'BOTTOM'.

Remove the type and it will work fine.

hi anand,

please check whether you have mentioned the next page in SE71...

for example if there are 2 pages...PAGE1 and PAGE2

for PAGE1 mention next page as PAGE2 and for PAGE2 mention next page as PAGE2

this would defineitely solve ur problem..

please reward points incase useful..
