Print program with SMARTFORMS - Printer for background job

[Former Member]

Hi folks,

We have a custom print program which uses a SMARTFORM. There is no default printer assigned in the code. We assign a printer while setting up a background job. The job fails with message 'Please maintain an output device in your user master data'. It appears it is not using the printer assigned with the job. Something is missing passing the printer information from the background job to the program, could you please give your ideas as to what may be missing?

All is fine when we run the program in foreground mode !

Thanks,

I had to use 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS function module to get the assigned printer from the background job. This is resolved.

Thanks,
