Send form to printer selected from selection screen

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to send the Form generated directly to printer selected on the selection screen. I dont want to enter the printer details in the printer pop up. I am using Smartforms.

How do I do that?

Thanks,

Abhishek

You want to enter the printer name in the selection-screen itself

then you want to get the printout directly at the printer you given in the selection screen of your driver program if it is the case. then please do the changes in your driver program.

DATA: x_control_parameters TYPE ssfctrlop,

x_output_options TYPE ssfcompop.

CONSTANTS:

c_x TYPE char1 VALUE 'X'.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK b1 WITH FRAME TITLE text-001.

PARAMETERS: p_prin LIKE usr01-spld.

SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF LINE.

INITIALIZATION.

SELECT spld

FROM usr01

INTO p_prin UP TO 1 ROWS

WHERE bname = sy-uname.

ENDSELECT.

START-OF-SELECTION.

x_output_options-tdimmed = c_x.

x_output_options-tddest = p_prin.

x_output_options-tdnewid = c_x.

x_output_options-tdreceiver = sy-uname.

x_output_options-tdcopies = '001'.

x_control_parameters-device = 'PRINTER'.

x_control_parameters-no_dialog = c_x.

x_control_parameters-langu = sy-langu.

You can over come this in two ways, either pass DEVICE to your smartform through control_parameters or maintain in your user profile under spool control, output device.

Pass the entered printer to the CONTROL_PARAMETERS Form interface.

Like:

CONTROL_PARAMETERS-DEVICE  = P_PRINTER.

To avoid the popup set the NO_DIALOG field in the CONTROL_PARAMETERS.

Like:

CONTROL_PARAMETERS-NO_DIALOG = 'X'.
