  Certainly! Here's detailed information about the SAP error message VFRR037 - No control lines found:
  
  SAP Error Message: VFRR037 - No control lines found
  
  Cause:
  The error message VFRR037 typically occurs during the processing of forms or output control in SAP, especially in the context of SAPscript or Smart Forms when dealing with output determination or print control.
  
  The system is trying to find control lines (also called control records or control data) that define how the output should be processed or formatted.
  These control lines are usually part of the output control table or form control table.
  The error means that the system could not find any control lines for the given parameters (such as application, output type, or partner function).
  This can happen if:
  
  The output determination procedure is not properly configured.
  The form or print program is not assigned correctly.
  The control records for the output type or application are missing or incomplete.
  The partner function or condition records are missing.
  The print control table entries are missing or not maintained.
  
  
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the VFRR037 - No control lines found error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Output Determination Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction NACE (Output Types).
  Select the relevant application (e.g., V1 for Sales, EF for Purchasing).
  Verify that the output type you are trying to process has control records maintained.
  Check if the output type is assigned to the correct form and program.
  
  
  
  Maintain Control Records:
  
  In NACE, maintain the control records for the output type.
  Ensure that the partner functions and condition records are properly maintained.
  Make sure the output type is active and has valid entries.
  
  
  
  Check Form and Print Program Assignment:
  
  Verify that the form (SAPscript or Smart Form) is assigned to the output type.
  Check the print program assigned to the output type.
  Ensure that the form and print program exist and are active.
  
  
  
  Check Partner Functions and Condition Records:
  
  Ensure that the partner functions involved in the output determination are correctly maintained.
  Check condition records for the output type using transaction VV31 or VV32.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, debugging the output determination process can help identify why no control lines are found.
  Use transaction SE37 to test function modules related to output determination.
  Check the print control table entries (e.g., table TSP01 or related tables depending on the module).
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Sometimes missing authorizations can cause the system to not find control lines.
  Verify user authorizations related to output processing.
