  The SAP error message 2C001 ("Select end of frame below frame heading") typically occurs in the context of SAPscript or Smart Forms when there is an issue with the layout of the form. This error indicates that the end of a frame (a section of the form) is not properly defined or is incorrectly positioned relative to the frame heading.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Frame Definition: The frame may not have a properly defined end point, or the end of the frame is not positioned correctly in relation to the frame heading.

  Check Frame Properties: Open the Smart Form or SAPscript and check the properties of the frame. Ensure that the end of the frame is defined correctly and is positioned below the frame heading.
  Adjust Layout: Review the layout of the form. Make sure that all elements are properly aligned and that there are no overlapping components. Adjust the positions of the elements as necessary.
  Add Missing Elements: If the frame is supposed to contain certain elements, ensure that they are included and correctly positioned within the frame.
