Smartform is not printed immediately

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have some problems with my code below. My requirements are to get the form print immediately without the dialog, as well as create a spool for next print purposes.

Can someone please tell me what is wrong with my code?

Many thanks in advance.

  call function 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'

Hi,

u should pass the below values to OUTPUT_OPTIONS & Contol_parameters..

l_t_out-tddest = 'LOCL'.

l_t_out-tdimmed = 'X'.

l_t_out-TDNOPRINT = 'X'.

l_t_out-tddelete = 'X'.

l_t_control-no_dialog = 'X'.

Hope it hellps!!

Hi vishnu,

I tried this, it is still not immediately printed.

LS_OUTPUT_PARAM-TDNOPREV  = 'X'.
  LS_OUTPUT_PARAM-TDNOPRINT = 'X'.
  LS_OUTPUT_PARAM-tdimmed   = 'X'.
  LS_OUTPUT_PARAM-tdcopies  = 1.
  LS_OUTPUT_PARAM-tddelete  = 'X'.
  LS_OUTPUT_PARAM-tdnewid   = 'X'.
  LS_OUTPUT_PARAM-tddest    = 'LOCL'.
  LS_OUTPUT_PARAM-tdFINAL   = 'X'.

  LS_CONTROL_PARAM-device    = 'PRINTER'.
  LS_CONTROL_PARAM-getotf    = SPACE.
  LS_CONTROL_PARAM-no_dialog = 'X'.
  LS_CONTROL_PARAM-preview   = 'X'.
  LS_CONTROL_PARAM-no_open   = 'X'.
  LS_CONTROL_PARAM-no_close  = 'X'.

Hi,

Hi pavan,

Appreciate for your help. When I executed the program, first, it prompts me the selection option screen. After I filled all the necessary fields, I clicked on "execute" button, it will goes to the preview screen.

What my requirement is the print out should also execute immediately after the preview screen display.

Also, my requirement needs to create a spool id in SP01.

Can it be done?

Thanks.

hi,

while exporting control parameters to the FM which calls smart form pass 'X' to the no_dialog parameter. this will not show you any dialog box.

wa_ctrl_param-no_dialog = 'X'.

make sure u pass control parameters as export parameters

[Former Member]

Hi,

If you read my post above, I have already set 'X' into LS_CONTROL_PARAM-no_dialog.

[Former Member]

you can choose, either print preview OR print out, But you can NOT goto preview and expect him to create an output as well.

[venkat_o]

Wong, Please create one test program and test this program. It prints directly and keeps spool number. I can see that in SP01. This code is same as before i posted yesterday except one line commented.

REPORT  ztest_smartform.
DATA:it_nfal   TYPE nfal OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA:fm_name   TYPE rs38l_fnam.
DATA:ssfctrlop TYPE ssfctrlop.
"START-OF-SELECTION.

START-OF-SELECTION.
  "select data
  SELECT * FROM nfal INTO TABLE it_nfal UP TO 10 ROWS.

  ssfctrlop-no_dialog = 'X'. "Just set this one. It gives what you want.

  "Get Function module name for given smartform
  CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
    EXPORTING
      formname = 'ZTEST_SMARTFORM'
    IMPORTING
      fm_name  = fm_name.
  "Call Smartform function module.
  CALL FUNCTION fm_name
    EXPORTING
      control_parameters = ssfctrlop
*      output_options     = ssfcompop  "commented one
    TABLES
      it_nfal            = it_nfal.

Thanks Venkat.O

Hi venkat,

Thanks for the follow up.

I have copied your code (the latest one) and created a dummy smartforms.

Program and smartforms compiled successfully. Now, I execute it, the print dialog is prompt again.

Is there any profile settings difference between you and me?

Why the print dialog is still displaying?

Very strange.

[Former Member]

Hi Wong,

You have to use "user_settings = space" as well, because else it always takes your settings from your user profile (SU01).

Hopefully helps.

Hi Wong, <li>Instead of using SS_OPEN and SSF_CLOSE, you can use directly function module which is generated when you activate smartform. <li>Check the program and see what needs to be done to get what u want.

REPORT  ztest_smartform.
DATA:it_nfal   TYPE nfal OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA:fm_name   TYPE rs38l_fnam.
DATA:ssfctrlop TYPE ssfctrlop.
"START-OF-SELECTION.
START-OF-SELECTION.
  "select data
  SELECT * FROM nfal INTO TABLE it_nfal UP TO 10 ROWS.

  ssfctrlop-no_dialog = 'X'. "Just set this one. It gives what you want.

"Get Function module name for given smartform
  CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
    EXPORTING
      formname = 'ZTEST_SMARTFORM'
    IMPORTING
      fm_name  = fm_name.
"Call Smartform function module.
  CALL FUNCTION fm_name
    EXPORTING
      control_parameters = ssfctrlop
      output_options     = ssfcompop
    TABLES
      it_nfal            = it_nfal.

I hope that it solves your requirement. Thanks Venkat.O

Hi Venkat,

Thanks for your input. I have tried that, but it is not working

Do you have any idea? The form is not printed immediately and there is no record created in Spool.

[premal_mistry2]

Hi Wong,

You need to rectify as specified below.

LS_OUTPUT_PARAM-TDNOPRINT = SPACE.
  LS_OUTPUT_PARAM-tdimmed   ='X'.

Hi Premal,

Thanks for your reply. The form is shown in Preview, but it is not printed immediately at printer, and no spool id is created.

Whats wrong? Somebody please help.
