Smartform Print in Background

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I have a program which prints a smartform.

MY objective is to schedule this Program in Background. In the Background this program should print.

Currently its going to Spool but not printing in the Printer when its executed in Background.

Please kindly advise.

Hi,

It might be the case that printer which you are using is frontend printer which can't be called in background.

Please have a look at the following thread. It might help.

Hi,

When the application program calls the smartform function module, the parameter OUTPUT_OPTOPNS-TDIMMED must be filled so that the print happens immediately.

HI friend,

Its simple.

Just try using SET_PRINT_PARAMETERS and GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS. This will work.

Also make sure you are giving NO_DIALOGUE = 'X', NO_PREVIEW = 'X' and PRINT_IMMEDIATELY option = 'X'.

Also try using combinations if setting all these don't work.

This will surely solve your issue. If you face any queries please revert back to me i will help you.

Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Can you please help me how to use these SET_PRINT_PARAMETERS and GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS. I mean which one i should use first and get what values and set what values.

Also The Printer should be Frontend Printer or anyother type in SPAD.
