  VR034 – "There is no gap between field & and the preceding field"
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the layout design of SAP scripts or Smart Forms, specifically when defining the positions of fields on a form.

  While designing or modifying SAPscript layouts or Smart Forms.
  When setting the position of fields manually (e.g., using the layout editor).

  Sometimes during runtime if dynamic positioning is used and fields end up overlapping.
