• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message P0083 - Field lines must be between text lines ?

  The SAP error message P0083, which states "Field lines must be between text lines," typically occurs in the context of SAPscript or Smart Forms when you are trying to position a field or a text element incorrectly in relation to other text lines. This error indicates that the system expects certain formatting rules to be followed regarding the placement of fields and text lines.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Placement: The field you are trying to insert is not positioned correctly between text lines. In SAPscript, fields must be placed in a way that they are logically and visually aligned with the text.
  Text Elements: If you have defined text elements, the fields must be placed in a way that they are surrounded by text lines. This means that a field cannot be the first or last element in a block of text.

  Solution:
  
  Check Field Placement: Ensure that the field you are trying to insert is placed between two text lines. You can do this by reviewing the layout in the SAPscript or Smart Forms editor.
  Adjust Text Elements: If you have text elements defined, make sure that the fields are positioned after a text line and before another text line. You may need to add additional text lines if necessary.
  Review Layout: Go through the entire layout to ensure that all fields and text lines are correctly aligned and that there are no empty lines or misplaced elements.
  Use the Correct Formatting: Make sure you are using the correct formatting options available in SAPscript or Smart Forms to ensure that fields and text are displayed correctly.
