Smartforms System Field &SFSY-JOBPAGES& - Total Number of Pages on a SmartForm document

While working with SmartForms, ABAP developers can use SFSY system fields within the SmartForms form.
&SFSY-JOBPAGES& is one of the system fields that during the processing of smartforms, the engine sets &SFSY-JOBPAGES& system value with the total page number or the number of total pages of all forms in the current print request.

The most common use of &SFSY-JOBPAGES& and &SFSY-PAGE& in a smartform is as in the following code format:

But the above code might cause an "*" asterix problem on your forms.
In many SAP /ABAP forums, I see posts complaining from "Page 1 of *" similar text outputs as I had experienced in a recent SAP Smart Form (SFF) document.

Although the output length might also cause a similar problem during displaying page numbers on smart form documents, the correct usage of paging code is as follows :

The above code will reserve 4 characters space for printing the total number of pages on a smartform document.

For example I solved my problem by instead of using :
&sfsy-page(CIZ)& / &sfsy-formpages(CIZ)& / &sfsy-jobpages(CIZ)&
You can use :
&sfsy-page(CIZ)& / &sfsy-formpages(4CZ)& / &sfsy-jobpages(4CZ)&
format conditions in your SAP Smart Forms documents.
