• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SMARTFORMS494 - Row height must be greater than 0 ?

  The SAP error message SMARTFORMS494: Row height must be greater than 0 typically occurs when you are working with Smart Forms in SAP and you have defined a table or a row in a table with a height of zero or a negative value. This can happen if the height of the rows in the table is not properly set or if there is an issue with the data being processed.
  Cause:
  
  Row Height Configuration: The row height in the Smart Form is set to zero or is not defined correctly.
  Empty Fields: If the fields in the row are empty or not populated, it may lead to a situation where the calculated height is zero.
  Incorrect Data Types: If the data being processed does not match the expected types or formats, it may lead to issues in rendering the form.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Row Height: 
  
  Open the Smart Form in the Smart Forms transaction (SMARTFORMS).
  Navigate to the table where the error is occurring.
  Ensure that the row height is set to a value greater than zero. You can do this by selecting the table and checking the properties for the row height.
  
  
  
  Review Field Definitions:
  
  Ensure that all fields in the row are defined correctly and have appropriate data types.
  Check if any fields are conditionally hidden or not populated, which might affect the row height.
  
  
  
  Test with Sample Data:
  
  Test the Smart Form with sample data to ensure that the fields are populated correctly and that the row height is calculated as expected.
  
  
  
  Adjust Layout:
  
  If you are using dynamic rows, ensure that the logic for calculating the height is correctly implemented. You may need to adjust the layout or the logic that determines the row height.
  
  
  
  Check for Conditions:
  
  If there are conditions applied to the rows or fields, ensure that they are not causing the height to be set to zero.
