[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am writing a Sap SCRIPT print program for multiple number of customers with different layouts. But i am getting seperate spools for different customers. There fore i need to print out all customers in a single spool.

Hi Dany,

To get a single spool request for multiple customers, Loop the customers inside the OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM and give different form layout for each customer in START_FORM.

The Flow should be

Call Function 'OPEN_FORM'.

loop for different customers.

Call Function 'START_FORM'.

Call Function 'WRITE_FORM'.

Call Function 'END_FORM'.

Endloop.

Call FUnction 'CLOSE_FORM'.

This will create only one spool request for different customers.

Thanks.

Bye,

Rajesh.

Try to do like this, it may help to solve your issue.

Ex. FM

START_FORM

OPEN_FORM

WRITE_FORM

CLOSE_FORM

OPEN_FORM

WRITE_FORM

WRITE_FORM

CLOSE_FORM

ENDFORM.

Using the above there may be possibility of bring all under one spool.

OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM function module are used to open and close spool. When you have single form to create document then we specify form_name in OPEN_FORM function module itself. However when we have multiple forms or same form needs to be called multiple times and all document needed in same spool then we use START_FORM and END_FORM to explicitly open and close form.

Call function module in this sequence

OPEN_FORM "without specifying any form name, this will open spool

START_FORM " with form name
END_FORM

START_FORM "with (some other) form name
END_FORM

..
..


CLOSE_FORM "close spool request

I am using open_form f& close form for every loop pass i.e for every customer who may or may call a different layout set. I am getting new spool for every new customer.

Hello Dan,

I done in smartform ,but i have idea about script.

You can fill print parameters in open_form ,and use close_form at last so that you will get single spool for all .

fill the ITCPP in close_form..

Thanks
