    System Response

    Form &V1& will not be processed.

    How to fix this error?

    Page format cannot be changed while a form is been formatted. You begin
    the formatting process with OPEN_FORM and end it with CLOSE_FORM. Forms
    that are chained in this formatting process using START_FORM and
    END_FORM must all have the same page format.
    The page format first used, in this case the paper size &V2&, carries
    over to all subsequent forms.
