Printer control in smartform

Former Member — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 09:58:11 GMT

I'm trying to use a command in a smartform to set a printer control. What I do is:

- I choose the node containing the text I want to alter. In this case it's the MAIN window.

- I right-click on it and I select create->flow logic->command

- In the general properties tab, in the input field for printer control, I choose some control.

- I print (I'm using LOCL printer).

The text remains unchanged. What I'm getting wrong?

Thank you in advance.

If you defined the Printer control in TCODE SPAD then you can use the following Coding before the Text to be displayed

PRINT-CONTROL <Printer control Name>.
<TEXT>

Can I insert commands like that in a smartform? I've tried and I get an error...

As far as I know the way to insert commands is adding a command node, and so far I haven't succeeded to put that to work.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Hi,

You need to check the exporting parameters of smartform calling function module.

In smartform you can't write printer control command.

Thanks.
