Solved: Displaying Smartforms in Webdynpro ABAP

Hi All,

I have to display smartforms in WDA. For that I'm using following link.

[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f0de1eb8-0b98-2910-7996-8a3c2fcf6785?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]

Now, in my case --

Form Name - 'ZFORM'

Importing Field - 'VBELN'

But, my problem is I'm unable to understand some of the fields, used in Tutorial in the link above, which are --

element_zinput

pernr = stru_input1-zpernr

reinr = stru_input1-zreinr

pdvrs = stru_input1-zpdvrs

I can understand that these must be user-defined. But, it has not defined in tutorial and hence, I'm confused.

Can anyone tell me what are these fields and from where are these coming?

Thakns.

Kumar Saurav.

zreinr must be the Trip Number.

zpernr = personell number

zpdvrs -> Trip Version number

But the question is, what would that be of any concern to you and your particular smartform? Fact is, that in the example a smart form was created which, as input parameter uses these three fields. These fields are most likely retrieved from the WDA itself (selection screen parameters for example).

I guess you have created a smartform of your own which you want to display. And how this smartform exactly looks like, shouldn't really matter, the only thing is, you want it to be displayed in your WD application. So, just create a simple smart form without these (import) parameters and proceed with the example (it's all about the principles).

Hope you get the point.

Hi Micky,

Thanks for giving me the lead.

Now, I have made the changes as per my Smartforms. But, when I test that Webdyn Application, an error is coming up. This is as follows --

Error code: ICF-IE-http -c: 400 -u: G_SIMARLEEN -l: E -s: DEV -i: unidev_DEV_00 -w: 0 -d: 20100126 -t: 123406 -v: RABAX_STATE -e: CALL_FUNCTION_PARM_MISSING

Would you please suggest what's wrong in my case.

Actually, I've defined as follows --

DATA: LV_TEXT TYPE CHAR3,
  LV_SYUCOMM TYPE CHAR1,
  LS_PDF TYPE XSTRING,
  LV_FM_NAME TYPE RS38L_FNAM,
  LV_CONTROL_PARAMETERS TYPE SSFCTRLOP,
  LV_OUTPUT_OPTIONS TYPE SSFCOMPOP,
  LV_SSF_OUTPUT TYPE SSFCRESCL,
  LT_OTFDATA TYPE TABLE OF ITCOO.

Then, calling that as below --

 CALL FUNCTION LV_FM_NAME
  EXPORTING
* ARCHIVE_INDEX * ARCHIVE_INDEX_TAB *
*ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS control_parameters = lv_control_parameters
* MAIL_APPL_OBJ * MAIL_RECIPIENT * MAIL_SENDER

  USER_SETTINGS = SPACE
  IMPORTING
 DOCUMENT_OUTPUT_INFO  = LV_SSF_OUTPUT
 I_VBRK = LS_VBRKTAB_2-VBELN
* JOB_OUTPUT_OPTIONS
TABLES
  I_VBRP = VBRP
  I_THEAD = THEAD
  I_TLINE = TLINE
EXCEPTIONS
  FORMATTING_ERROR = 1
  INTERNAL_ERROR = 2
  SEND_ERROR = 3
  USER_CANCELED = 4
  OTHERS = 5
  .
  IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
    WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
  ENDIF.

  REFRESH LT_OTFDATA.
  LT_OTFDATA[] = LV_SSF_OUTPUT-OTFDATA[].

Before this call, I've made a call to

CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
    EXPORTING
      FORMNAME           = 'ZFACTORY_INVOICE1'
    IMPORTING
      FM_NAME            = LV_FM_NAME
    EXCEPTIONS
      NO_FORM            = 1
      NO_FUNCTION_MODULE = 2
      OTHERS             = 3.
  IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
* Error MESSAGE
  ENDIF.

I am stuck as it is suggesting that The following error text was processed in the system DEV : Incorrect parameter with CALL FUNCTION.

What should I do.

Please guide me.

Thanks.

Kumar Saurav.

LV_CONTROL_PARAMETERS, has a field called NO_DIALOG mark it as 'X'

Abhi

Hi Abhimanyu,

I've done that.

LV_CONTROL_PARAMETERS-NO_DIALOG = L_X. "No print dialog

Now, while testing my application, diff error comes, as below.

The following error text was processed in the system DEV : Please maintain an output device in your user master data.

Although I've defined output option as below --

* Set relevant control parameters
  LV_CONTROL_PARAMETERS-GETOTF = L_X. "OTF output
  LV_CONTROL_PARAMETERS-NO_DIALOG = L_X. "No print dialog
  LV_CONTROL_PARAMETERS-PREVIEW = ' '. "SPACE. "No preview  
* Set relevant output options
  LV_OUTPUT_OPTIONS-TDNEWID = L_X. "Print parameters,
  LV_OUTPUT_OPTIONS-TDDELETE = ' '. "SPACE. "Print parameters,

Please suggest where am I wrong.

Thanks.

--- You haven't supplied a printer device itself. Even if you are just converting a form, it needs a reference printer to perform the formatting. If none is supplied it tries to use the default printer ID from your user master. It appears that you have no default printer in your user master. You will need to supply some printer device ID for the conversion to occur.

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for your valued guideline.

I added the code as below --

 LV_CONTROL_PARAMETERS-DEVICE = 'PRINTER'.

Still, same error is coming up.

It seems, your second point is applicable here. May be User Master Data has not been updated with any Printer.

I've asked to update accordingly to concerned people.

I'll post it as and when done.

Till then, if there be any other coding error....?

Thanks.

Hi Vikrant,

Thanks for giving me so detailed code.

My problem has been resolved. My Code is same as of yours.

The problem was of authorization of user and not in code itself. When relevant changes were made in SU01 for that user-id, display came up.

But, still, you have provided the complete code, thank you very much.

Kumar Saurav.

Hi Kumar Saurav,

I am facing the same device error. Could you tell me how you resolved it? you said you made some changes in SU01. Could you please elaborate?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Ranjani

Hi Ranjani,

First of all, you should have open a new thread. Because its an old thread & not being followed at all. Thanks to SAP Networkmail, else this type of posting could have gone unnoticed.

Anyways, for the answer of your query, you need to maintain Printer in SU01 while creating an User. Please refer to Thomas Jung's answer in this same thread.


--- You haven't supplied a printer device itself. Even if you are just converting a form, it needs a reference printer to perform the formatting. If none is supplied it tries to use the default printer ID from your user master.  It appears that you have no default printer in your user master.  You will need to supply some printer device ID for the conversion to occur.

For maintaining Printer, please follow the steps as below -

SU01 -> Input User ID -> Click on Change Icon -> Go to "DEFAULTS" Tab -> Set "OutputDevice" from F4 -> Select Checkbox "Output Immediately" -> Save.

Just for your clarification, if Printer is not set in User Profile, (s)he is not allowed to access that device and hence error comes up. However, keep in mind that you need to use Control Parameters to set the printer through code as given in Thomas Jung's answer.

Hope this may resolve your problem.

Thanks.

Kumar Saurav.

Hi Kumar Saurav,

Thank you so much for your reply. I will check and let you know if it works.

Regards,

Ranjani

Hi Kumar Saurav,

I did the changes suggested but now i am getting a short dump - Exception condition "CNTL_ERROR" raised. I am not able to understand why this error is occuring. If you have any inputs regarding this, it would be very helpful.

Thanks.

-Ranjani.

Hi Kumar Saurav,

Thanks.

Hi,

I have one doubt,,,

In this way of printing smart form will generate spool request?

Hi Ranjani,

It seems you are using GUI statements inside WDA. Simply, you can not use GUI statements inside WDA.

You may refer Thomas Jung's answer in thread -

http://scn.sap.com/message/6480683#6480683

 You can not have connections to the SAPGUI Control Framework within any processing that runs from Web Dynpro.  BAPIs and Enterprise Services by their very definition will avoid such processing and be safe for usage within Web Dynpro.

However, please share the source-code or the requirement, so that we can think of other way out.

Thanks.

Kumar Saurav.

Hi Kumar,

I found the reason for the error, it was because of a GUI statement I had used in the code. It's working fine now. Thank you so much for your time and help. I really appreciate it,

Regards,

Ranjani

Hi Ashok,

Actually, this workaround solution for smartforms sends the output to the spool and then converts the spool to PDF.

But, can you elaborate if your concern is related to printing the smartforms using Local Printer from WDA? If so, there are few solutions that you may get by searching on the SDN.
