Print spool immediately

[Former Member]

In an ABAP program, we call the function for a SMARTFORM, within a loop.

For each occurrence in the loop, the SMARTFORM generates an entry in the spool (transaction SP01) with ststus waiting.

Only when the program finishes, does the spool send the SMARTFORMS layout to the printer.

How can we cause the printing to start immediately for each occurrence in the loop without waiting for the program to finish?

Do set the option,

ssfcompop-tdimmed = 'X'

and pass it to the function module of smartform

output_options = ssfcompop-tdimmed

Close the thread if your question is answered.

W_CONTROL_PARAMETERS-NO_DIALOG = 'X'. "skip dialog

W_OUTPUT_OPTIONS-TDDEST = 'FRT'. "print

W_OUTPUT_OPTIONS-TDIMMED = 'X'. "immed print

W_OUTPUT_OPTIONS-TDNEWID = 'X'. "create new spool request

W_OUTPUT_OPTIONS-TDCOPIES = 001. "copies

besides above ,you can check the user setting by Tr-code SU3

choose Defaults ,then check the [Output Immediately]

Hi,

But why r u using smartforms fm in loop..It's useless.

If u want to print multiple output at time use print workbench for that it has same feature as smartforms.

Rewards points if it is useful.
