Printing !

Former Member — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 12:46:00 GMT

Hi all,

I would like to print text on a printer from my ABAP program.

I know the NEW-PAGE PRINT ON/OFF syntax which, I think , send to the printer all the text used with a WRITE statement between the NEW-PAGE PRINT ON instruction and the NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF instruction.

My problem is that I want to use a fonction module (that I will create)

to print a text contained in a parameter, so, a varaiable text.

My question : is it possible to print a text contained in a structure/variable ? Or is it possible to print some text using a fonction module ?

Thanks a lot !

Regards,

--Yohann.

Yes. You can use the NEW-PAGE ... syntax in the Function Module also.

Give a try..

Yes but the text I want to print will come from the program that call the fonction module , this is my problem..

The program defines the text to print, the fonction module print it...and so i can reuse this fonction module.

I don't think this is a problem.

I have created this test FM:


FUNCTION ZTEST_NP_WRITE.
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------
*"*"Local Interface:
*"  IMPORTING
*"     REFERENCE(I_NAME1) TYPE  CHAR30
*"     REFERENCE(I_NAME2) TYPE  CHAR30
*"----------------------------------------------------------------------

  DATA:  PRI_PARAMS TYPE PRI_PARAMS.

  NEW-PAGE PRINT ON  PARAMETERS PRI_PARAMS
                               NO DIALOG.
  WRITE: / I_NAME1, I_NAME2.

  NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF.

ENDFUNCTION.

Used it in the program.


  DATA: L_NAME1 TYPE CHAR30,
        L_NAME2 TYPE CHAR30.

  L_NAME1 = 'Naimesh'.
  L_NAME2 = 'Patel'.

  CALL FUNCTION 'ZTEST_NP_WRITE'
    EXPORTING
      I_NAME1 = L_NAME1
      I_NAME2 = L_NAME2.

It has generated the Spool, which I had expected.
