Hi,

You need to pass the control_parameters to the smartform FM.


  control_parameters-no_close = 'X'.
  control_parameters-no_open = space.
DESCRIBE TABLE <TABLE> LINE l_LINES.
LOOP AT ...
* Need this to view Smartform print preview when run in foreground
  IF loop_count = L_LINES.         "Last letter of this type
        control_parameters-no_close = space.  "Allow spool file to close
  ENDIF.

   CALL FUNCTION fm_name
      EXPORTING
        control_parameters = control_parameters
        user_settings      = ' '
        output_options     = output_options
        p_letter           = letter
      EXCEPTIONS
        formatting_error   = 1
        internal_error     = 2
        send_error         = 3
        user_canceled      = 4
        OTHERS             = 5.

* Keep spool file open for next letter or form
  control_parameters-no_open = 'X'.
ENDLOOP.

Hello Nishita,

Add this code just before passing parameters to your SMARTFORMS.


CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNTION_MODULE_NAME'
...
...

control-preview = 'X'.
control-no_open = 'X'.
control-no_close = 'X'.

output_options-tddest = 'LP01' "Default Printer name

call FM fm_name
exporting
output_options = output_options
control_parameters = control.

Hope this pulls you out of your problem
