smartform: Please maintain an output device in your user master data

I am using smartforms to send an email. If I remove the printer from my master data and I run my program in the background, I get the error 'Please maintain an output device in your user master data'. If I run it in the foreground I do not get the error. This will be a background job and that user does not have an output device. Here are my output settings.

l_output_options-xsf = 'X'. " XSF Output active

l_output_options-xsfcmode = 'X'. " Get XSF params from program

l_output_options-xsfoutmode = 'A'. " Application

CLEAR l_output_options-xsfoutdev.

l_output_options-xsfformat = 'X'. " Formatting ON

l_output_options-tdimmed = space.

l_output_options-tdnewid = space.

l_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.

Please help!

Brent

Hi,

You need to fill the parameter l_output_options-tddest with the output device when calling the Smart Form function modele. You also need to set the parameter USER_SETTINGS=' '. It is filled with 'X' by default.

Hi Former Member

Seems like you did not pass your printer device to control parameters

Also there are plenty of threads available in SCN regarding this error , just go through it you will get it sure

Hi Brent,

It is quite logical that we need to some place/location where we can save the output. so we need output devide. if user doesnot have output device, who will go and gove him the printout of smartform output
