• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TD516 - Page &1 window &2: Width is not identical on all pages ?

  The SAP error message TD516 indicates that there is a discrepancy in the width of a window across different pages in a Smart Forms or SAPscript layout. This error typically arises when the width of a window defined in one page does not match the width of the same window defined in another page. This can lead to inconsistencies in the layout when the form is rendered.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Window Widths: The most common cause of this error is that the width of a window (e.g., a text window, main window, etc.) is defined differently on different pages of the form.
  Page Configuration: If you have multiple pages in your Smart Form or SAPscript, and the window settings are not uniform across these pages, this error will occur.
