Query: Single Spool request to print multiple smart forms

[Former Member]

Hi,

Firstly I apologise for spamming your mail box.

We are facing an issue with printing smartforms.

We are calling multiple smartforms in a report program in succession and are trying to print all of them at one go.

But in the spool queue, there are multiple requests generated, each corresponding to one smart form.

Is there any configuration or code setting or workaround to create a single spool request for all the forms.

Any pointers in this regard would be of great help.

Thanks in advance.

hi ,

if u have multiple forms to be printed in your report , then first u have to get the print parameters after each report using the function module "GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS". then use the following code to get the spool job for each report.

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

EXPORTING

IMMEDIATELY = space "C_CHAR_UNKNOWN

IMPORTING

• OUT_ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS =

OUT_PARAMETERS = mstr_print_parms

VALID = t_valid

• VALID_FOR_SPOOL_CREATION =

EXCEPTIONS

ARCHIVE_INFO_NOT_FOUND = 1

INVALID_PRINT_PARAMS = 2

INVALID_ARCHIVE_PARAMS = 3

OTHERS = 4

.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

*-- Make sure that a printer destination has been set up

*-- If this is not done the PDF function module ABENDS

if mstr_print_parms-pdest = space.

mstr_print_parms-pdest = 'LOCL'.

endif.

*-- Explicitly set line width, and output format so that

*-- the PDF conversion comes out OK

mstr_print_parms-linsz = linsz.

mstr_print_parms-paart = paart.

submit (PROG_NAME) to sap-spool without spool dynpro

spool parameters mstr_print_parms

• via selection-screen

and return.

data : f_repid type sy-repid,

f_uname type sy-uname.

data:

lc_rq2name like tsp01-rq2name,

f_rqident like tsp01-rqident,

byte_count type i,

f_repid = sy-repid.

f_uname = sy-uname.

concatenate f_repid+0(9)

f_uname+0(3)

into lc_rq2name ."separated by '_'.

select * from tsp01 where rq2name = lc_rq2name

order by rqcretime descending.

f_rqident = tsp01-rqident.

exit.

endselect.

if sy-subrc ne 0.

clear f_rqident.

endif.

then using that abap spooljob u cud print the report individually .
