Please tell me how to send the form to spool instead of printer?

Please let me know at the earliest.

In OPEN_FORM you will see a parameter called DIALOG,

The parameter DIALOG can be used to control whether a dialog box appears before output to the printer. The user can set various spool parameters for the output in this window.

Do we print later on what we send it to spool?

[Former Member]

How can we set same for smartforms

[Former Member]

You can use option in smartform:

DATA: p_out LIKE ssfcompop,

p_ctrl LIKE ssfctrlop.

CLEAR: p_out,

p_ctrl.

p_out-tdnoprev = 'X'.

p_out-tdnoprint = 'X'.

p_out-tdnoarch = 'X'.

p_out-tddelete = 'X'.

p_out-tddest = p_dest.

p_out-tdnewid = ''.

p_out-tdimmed = ' '.

p_out-tdcopies = 1.

p_out-tddataset = sy-repid.

p_out-tddelete = ' '.

CALL FUNCTION fm_name

EXPORTING

inv_header = tmp_header

<b>output_options = p_out

control_parameters = p_ctrl</b>

user_settings = ' '

TABLES

t_item = tmp_item

t_price = tmp_price

t_partner = tmp_partner

t_docflow = tmp_docflow

t_beer_item = tmp_beer_item

t_wine_item = tmp_wine_item.

what is the P_DEST in above program this is of reference what?

[Former Member]

p_dest is the printer name ( Parameter in selection-screen )

There is no selection screen in my program, when ever the transaction runs, it should sent to spool directly, not to printer.

so ,what can i give in place of p_dest in above code.

See the below simple program and it creates spool ,use SP01 Transaction to see output.

[former_member196280]

Yes, we have to print it later from spool, goto SP01 or SP02
