  WXPB003 - Listing was terminated
  
  Cause:
  The error message WXPB003 - Listing was terminated typically occurs during the execution of a print program or report in SAP when the output listing (the spool or print output) is unexpectedly terminated. This can happen due to several reasons such as:
  
  Runtime errors or exceptions in the print program or report.
  Missing or incorrect data leading to termination of the print job.
  Issues with the spool system or print device.
  Authorization problems preventing the listing from completing.
  User interruption or system resource constraints.
  Problems in the layout or form (e.g., SAPscript, Smart Forms, or Adobe Forms) used for the print output.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WXPB003 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Short Dump (ST22):
  
  Look for any runtime errors related to the print program or report. The dump will provide detailed information about the cause of termination.
  
  
  Review the Print Program or Report Code:
  
  Debug or analyze the print program to identify any logical errors or missing data conditions that cause the listing to terminate prematurely.
  
  
  Check Spool Request and Output Device:  
  
  Use transaction SP01 to check the spool request status.  
  Verify if the output device is correctly configured and available.
  
  
  
  Verify Authorization:
  
  Ensure the user running the print job has the necessary authorizations for printing and accessing the required data.
  
  
  Check Form/Layout:
  
  If the print output uses SAPscript, Smart Forms, or Adobe Forms, verify that the form is active, correctly assigned, and does not contain errors.
  
  
  Re-run the Print Job:
  
  After corrections, re-execute the print job to confirm the issue is resolved.
  
  
  Check System Logs (SM21):
  
  Look for any system-level errors that might have affected the print job.
