Hi Experts,

When I am displaying Smart forms, an automatic popus is getting displayed which asks for current Printer.I am using LP01 as default printer.Can I hide this popup so while the user executes the program,he can directly view the Report screen.

Hi

In your Print Program of the Smartform,Change the Print Settings as

pass the NO_DIALOG field of the param CONTROL_PARAMETERS as 'X' & TDDEST of OUTPUT_OPTIONS as LP01.

Hi Sam,

Yes, you can disable the popup of printer selection. In the print program you use function module

SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME where you pass smartforms name and get its corresponding function module name.

Then when you call this function module, to print the smartform.

In this function module there is an exporting parameter control_parameters available. You need to pass a structure for ex. ls_control_param of type ssfctrlop to this paratemer. Before calling the function module set the value of fields

no_dialog and preview as below.

ls_control_param-no_dialog = 'X'.

ls_control_param-preview = 'X'.

pass the smartform name to LF_FORMNAME and then call the Fm SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME

as:

LF_FORMNAME = 'Z_SMARTFORM'.  "==>pass form name here
CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
    EXPORTING
      FORMNAME           = LF_FORMNAME
    IMPORTING
      FM_NAME            = LF_FM_NAME.

Hello Sam,

The idea is to pass the NO_DIALOG field of the param CONTROL_PARAMETERS as 'X' & TDDEST of OUTPUT_OPTIONS as LP01.

Please donot copy paste the code.

Cheers,

For the export parameter control_parameters pass the value 'X' for the field control_parameters-NO_DIALOG thus your pop -up for printer options will not come and pass control_parameters-preview = 'X' hence the o/p will be shown directly.
