HI,

Try as shown below:

CALL FUNCTION 'WS_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

FILENAME = 'c:\XYZ.prn'

FILETYPE = 'ASC'

TABLES

DATA_TAB = DISP_TAB3.

after executing your program you can check your file in DOS.

GOTO START--> RUN --> Type CMD

cd\

type XYZ.PRN

I think it will work.

CALL METHOD OF e_activesheet 'PrintOut'

EXPORTING

#1 = 1

#2 = 'True'

#3 = 'True'.

Hi .. This is simply creating a file with extension .PRN

which is not useful to me ..

.PRN file is a file which converts contents of any file into special Format which is in Printer readable format..

In other way if i want to print the contents on a file .. the format is .PRN

So the above code is really not useful .. is there any other way apart from this..

Hi all,

Guys after a lot of work around i found out the best possible solution with one of my Colleague.

Step 1. Go to zebra Designer and create the required format of Barcode.. and Say print to File. This will create a PRN file for u.

Step 2. Use this PRN file.. with FM GUI_Upload. this will copy the contents of your PRN file into the ITAB.

Step 3. Using this PRN file manipulate the contents.

Step 4. Download this PRN to Desktop using ws_download. Then simply execure this PRN file to the Zebra Printer. This will generate the Barcode for you.

For any help u can write to me.
