Different text depending on number of copies (RLB_INVOICE)

[Former Member]

Dear SDN community,

I need to print the sales invoice in three copies, in which the first copy says "Original", the second "Duplicate" and the third "Triplicate".

Looking at RLB_INVOICE coding, I noticed that the Smartform is called three times. I copied standard Smartforms LB_BIL_INVOICE and created inside the reapeat window three different text elements with the conditions query the SFSY-COPYCOUNT variable. In every call, the variable is 1.

Is there any way to archive this requisite without changing standard report RLB_INVOICE?

Naturally, changing standard report I can pass sy-tabix variable inside SF and query this variable. But shouldn´t it be possible without changing standard report?!

Thanks in advance,

MPM

You might use a parameter export/import to know what is the copy.

clear lv_copy.

import lv_copy from memory id id_copy.

case id_copy .

when ' '.

text_copy = 'Original'.

id_copy = 1.

export lv_copy to memory id id_copy.

when '1'.

text_copy = 'Duplicate'.

id_copy = 2.

export lv_copy to memory id id_copy.

when '2'.

text_copy = 'Triplicate'.

free memory id id_copy.

endcase.

I am Sure that it is not the best solution, but I believe that I would work and he avoids the problem of copying the standard program

Another option would be to print only one copy of the form instead of 3, and to do a jump of page on having finished originally and different one on having finished the duplicate. This way you might use the field SFSY-PAGE.

Dear José,

In your solution I need to copy standard program to a Z, right?!

Since I need to create a copy, I would rather prefer to pass the sy-index variable as parameter into my SF like shown below.

Data: ld_index like sy-index.
DO nast_anzal TIMES.
* In case of repetition only one time archiving
      IF sy-index > 1 AND nast-tdarmod = 3.
        nast_tdarmod = nast-tdarmod.
        nast-tdarmod = 1.
        ls_composer_param-tdarmod = 1.
      ENDIF.
      IF sy-index NE 1 AND repeat IS INITIAL.
        repeat = 'X'.
      ENDIF.
* call smartform invoice
* MPM move sy-index to local variable
     move sy-index to ld_index.
      CALL FUNCTION lf_fm_name
           EXPORTING
                      archive_index        = toa_dara
                      archive_parameters   = arc_params
                      control_parameters   = ls_control_param
*                 mail_appl_obj        =
                      mail_recipient       = ls_recipient
                      mail_sender          = ls_sender
                      output_options       = ls_composer_param
                      user_settings        = space
                      is_bil_invoice       = ls_bil_invoice
                      is_nast              = nast
                      is_repeat            = repeat
* MPM include index parameter
                      is_index             = ld_index
           importing  job_output_info      = ls_job_info
*                     document_output_info =
*                     job_output_options   =
           EXCEPTIONS formatting_error     = 1
                      internal_error       = 2
                      send_error           = 3
                      user_canceled        = 4
                      OTHERS               = 5.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
*   error handling
        cf_retcode = sy-subrc.
        PERFORM protocol_update.
* get SmartForm protocoll and store it in the NAST protocoll
        PERFORM add_smfrm_prot.
      ENDIF.
    ENDDO.

Since it seems to me that my requirement is quite normal, I was looking for way to solve it using the standard program. Somebody surely had the same problem?!

To Satyajit: Yes, I used a copy window and I am checking SFSY-COPPYCOUNT. But value is always 1. I have three text elements with conditions checking SFSY_COPYCOUNT, but all copies are always original since the value of SFSY-COPYCOUNT is always 1.

To sam_ins: I will check nast structure again, but I am quite sure I checked it already and the problema is the same as SFSY-COPYCOUNT.

Thanks anyway,

MPM

Hi Marcelo,

With the parameters export/import you do not need to create a program Z.

This code you it can put in the event initialization inside the smartform.

Hi José,

Actually my problem is that inside my Smartforms, even in the initialization event I have not any reference to the number of copies.

If I use import from memery of the copy number, somewhere I have to export to memery the number.

I may not getting the point of your solution. Can you explain little bit more?

Thanks,

MPM

The smartform executes three times.

The first time, you import from memory the parameter. No value recovers, so it is the first copy and you export the value 1 to memory.

The second time, you import from memory the parameter, you recover 1 so it is the second copy and export 2 to memory.

The third time, you import from memory the parameter, you recover 2, for what it is the third copy and free the parameter of memory.

for example:

lv_id = ls_bil_invoice-hd_gen-belnr.

clear lv_copy.

import lv_copy from memory id lv_id.

case lv_copy.

when 0.

lv_text = 'Original'.

lv_copy = 1.

export lv_copy to memory id lv_id.

when 1.

lv_text = 'Dup..'.

lv_copy = 2.

export lv_copy to memory id lv_id.

when 2.

lv_text = 'Trip..'.

free memory id lv_id.

endcase.

Hi José,

I got it now. In fact this is a solution...not the most elegant one, with all respect, but a valid one.

Anyway, I espected to find a more standard solution...something like querying a variable with the number of prints that actually works, not like SFSY-COPYCOUNT.

Thanks.

Have you used a copies window in your smartform??????

To diplay the text 'Org'/'Dup'/'Tri' create a copies window in your smartform. Now in the same window, create a programline to check the value of SFSY-COPYCOUNT and populate the texts accordingly in a variable. Now in a text element print the variable. The no of copies required will be controlled by the driver program.....

Hi

Try the following

In the standard RLB_INVOICE check there will be one subroutine for updating nast where u can check whether it is printing for firsttime or second time or third time.based on this print origianl,duplicate or triplicate.....
