• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TD148 - Number 99 is not allowed for main windows ?

  The SAP error message TD148 ("Number 99 is not allowed for main windows") typically occurs in the context of SAPscript or Smart Forms when there is an issue with the page numbering or the configuration of the main window in a form.
  Cause:
  
  Page Numbering Issue: The error indicates that the system is trying to use a page number that is not valid for the main window. In SAPscript and Smart Forms, the main window usually starts with page number 1, and using a number like 99 is not allowed.
  Configuration Error: There may be a misconfiguration in the form where the main window is set up incorrectly, or the page numbers are not defined properly.
  Form Design: If the form design has been altered or if there are multiple main windows defined, it can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Main Window Configuration:
  
  Open the Smart Form or SAPscript in the SAP GUI.
  Navigate to the main window settings and ensure that the page number is set correctly. The main window should typically start with page number 1.
  
  
  
  Review Page Numbering:
  
  Ensure that the page numbering for the form is set correctly. If you have defined multiple pages, make sure that the main window is not trying to reference an invalid page number.
  
  
  
  Adjust Form Design:
  
  If you have made changes to the form, revert to a previous version or adjust the design to ensure that the main window is properly defined.
  Check for any additional windows that may be conflicting with the main window settings.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the form to see if the error persists. You can do this by executing the transaction that generates the form output.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If the issue continues, refer to SAP documentation or community forums for additional insights or similar cases.
