Usually we enter these values on selection screen. We declare parameters for the same - specially for the priinter name.

Could it be possible for you to handle in this way.

I think u can do it by declaring an internal table like ITCPO(which is the table for print options).

hope this helps,

thanks,

Hi Madan,

function OPEN_FORM has an optional parameter OPTIONS. You need to provide your print options in this structure, then the print popup will not show up.

try using this FM to get the print parameters

GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS

Hi Madan,

Yes first u would be passing the values to the dialog right and then u can loop at the internal table declared like itcpo and bt loop and endloop u will be writing the output stmts.

priya,

Im not to pass the values to the dialog. i vil have to get the values entered by the user for the first time. So that for the second time the user need not enter the values again in the dialog.. this will be taken care by me, by passing the values to the struct itcpo, for the second print onwards..

Hi Madan,

try to use function GET_TEXT_PRINT_PARAMETERS instead. This function gives you a popup like you see with OPEN_FORM but just returns the value in structure NEWOPTIONS. Then call OPEN_FORM as often as you need with the values you received from GET_TEXT_PRINT_PARAMETERS.

Claus

Hi madan,

1. simple.

<b>DATA : result LIKE itcpp.</b>

CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'

EXPORTING

form = 'ZAM_TEMPSS1'

IMPORTING

<b> RESULT = RESULT</b>

exceptions

canceled = 1.

3. Result will contain the user selected parameters.

regards,

U can use GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS which is the right way to modify print parameters. U can also set param. to avoide popup. Go to FM and press Function module documentation for more help.
