  The SAP error message F0090, which states "An unallowed overflow of the main window occurred," typically occurs in the context of SAPscript or Smart Forms when the content being printed or displayed exceeds the defined limits of the main window.

  Adjust Window Size: Modify the size of the main window in the SAPscript or Smart Form layout to ensure it can accommodate the expected content.
  Use Additional Windows: If the content is too large for the main window, consider using additional windows (e.g., secondary windows) to display the overflow content.
  Dynamic Content Handling: Implement logic to handle dynamic content more effectively, such as conditionally displaying sections based on the amount of data.
  Test with Sample Data: Use sample data to test the layout and ensure that it can handle various scenarios without causing an overflow.
