Answer:
Hi..
First, have you copied the form to the testing client? SAPScript forms are not cross-client object, so if you works with many clients you have to copy them to the testing client.
Usually, it works for me.
If this doesn't help, you can try what kumar suggest for your problem.
Hope it helps.

Answer:
Hello,
Have you already solved the problem? I am encountering this error (via sm13) and i dont know what seems to be wrong...
Error reads:
TD 423: END_FORM is invalid, OPEN_FORM is missing
Please help.. Thanks
Answer:
As Kumar said, did you checked sy-subrc?
After the call to OPEN_FORM, if sy-subrc NE 0 => your form is not opened, maybe without an error message... checking sy-subrc after a function call you will prevent these kind of things...
