Print document without Preview

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a requirement to print a form that will develop using smartforms. In the program I have called function call 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'. With below code, it will prompt a screen to enter the printer name and so and so.

How could the program to skip this screen?

  call function 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
       exporting  formname           = p_form
*                 variant            = ' '
*                 direct_call        = ' '
       importing  fm_name            = fm_name
       exceptions no_form            = 1
                  no_function_module = 2
                  others             = 3.

  if sy-subrc <> 0.
*   error handling
    message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
            with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
    exit.
  endif.

* now call the generated function module
  data: LS_CONTROL_PARAM TYPE SSFCTRLOP,
        LS_COMPOSER_PARAM TYPE SSFCOMPOP.

  LS_COMPOSER_PARAM-TDNOPREV = ' '.
  LS_CONTROL_PARAM-no_open = SPACE.
  LS_CONTROL_PARAM-no_close = SPACE.
  LS_CONTROL_PARAM-no_dialog = 'X'.
  LS_CONTROL_PARAM-preview = SPACE.

  call function fm_name
       exporting
*                 archive_index        =
*                 archive_parameters   =
                 control_parameters   = LS_CONTROL_PARAM
*                 mail_appl_obj        =
*                 mail_recipient       =
*                 mail_sender          =
*                 output_options       = LS_COMPOSER_PARAM
*                 user_settings        = 'X'
                  customer             = customer
                  bookings             = bookings
                  connections          = connections
*      importing  document_output_info =
*                 job_output_info      =
*                 job_output_options   =
       exceptions formatting_error     = 1
                  internal_error       = 2
                  send_error           = 3
                  user_canceled        = 4
                  others               = 5.

hi

try the below code

LS_COMPOSER_PARAM-TDNOPREV = ' '.

LS_CONTROL_PARAM-no_open = SPACE.

LS_CONTROL_PARAM-no_close = SPACE.

LS_CONTROL_PARAM-no_dialog = 'X'.

LS_CONTROL_PARAM-preview = 'X'.

DATA: opopt TYPE ssfcompop,

opopt-tddest = 'XXXX'-----> device shoort name .

opopt-tdimmed = 'X'.

opopt-tddelete = 'X'.

CALL FUNCTION fname

EXPORTING

control_parameters = LS_COMPOSER_PARAM

output_options = opopt

user_settings = ' '

etc etc

thank you

Hi,

You just need to add 'X' to your LS_CONTROL_PARAM-preview = SPACE.

LS_CONTROL_PARAM-preview = 'X'.

Change this it will work

It is still not working. Perhaps I did something wrong.

Please help see what is not right there

Hi,

your parameter LS_COMPOSER_PARAM -TDNOPREV is still not set to 'X'

LS_COMPOSER_PARAM -TDNOPREV = 'X'

Hi Bernsen,

Thanks for your input. Eventhough I set LS_COMPOSER_PARAM -TDNOPREV = 'X', the preview screen still prompts out.

hi,

i see anotgher one

LS_CONTROL_PARAM-preview = 'X'.

this one has to be space.

Hi Bernsen,

The preview screen still prompts out.

Hi,

I don't see any issue with the code when i run the same in my system its working fine.. It is not giving any Print Preview dialog.

And it is not necessary to give Preview as space because when you make preview as space it will not give any preview it will directly go for the print.

LS_CONTROL_PARAM-no_dialog = 'X'. If this is X then it will suppress the preview dialog.

Just re check it. It will work

Hi all,

I am sorry that what I wanted is to disable the print preview dialog box.

Hi,

try this one:

LS_COMPOSER_PARAM -TDNOPREV = 'X'

do not forget to remove the comment star in your call function.
