Printing Smartform using IN BACKGROUD TASK

Former Member — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:36:08 GMT

Hello

I am having trouble printing a Smartfrom in BACKGROUND. When I remove IN BACKGROUND TASK printing works fine. Below is my code.

CALL FUNCTION 'ZPP_PRINT_ZLINK_TAG'

IN BACKGROUND TASK

EXPORTING

p_matnr = gs_s0100-matnr

TABLES

pt_zlink = gt_zlink.

I checked the following trans but nothing related to my job : SP01, SP02, SM50 & SM37

Below are the parms which are used in FM 'ZPP_PRINT_ZLINK_TAG' in calling the smartform:

*Parameters for CALL FUNCTION fm_name

CLEAR gs_control_param.

gs_control_param-no_dialog = 'X'.

gs_control_param-device = 'PRINTER'.

gs_control_param-langu = 'E'.

CLEAR gs_output.

gs_output-tddest = 'CORU'.

gs_output-tdimmed = 'X'.

gs_output-tddelete = 'X'.

CALL FUNCTION fm_name

EXPORTING

control_parameters = gs_control_param

output_options = gs_output

user_settings = space

zstr_zlinktag = zstr_zlinktag

EXCEPTIONS

formatting_error = 1

internal_error = 2

send_error = 3

user_canceled = 4

OTHERS = 5.

Thanks

Gary

Hi Gary,

probably Your CORU printer uses frontend printing which is not supported in background.

Check SPAD transaction - I thing You have 'Host Spool Access Method' set to F or G.

I checked trans SPAD and CORU is to the following:

C - Direct operating system call

Should I changed to some other access method?

Thanks for responding

Hi,

no, do not change it - C is the correct one

Hi Przemyslaw

I will not change, will leave at "C". Prints in foregrand but not backgound wonder if it has something to do with printer settings?

Thanks

Hi ,

You have to do a commit work after the FM call. Other wise background task FM will not call.

CALL FUNCTION 'ZEMAILDET_SR_FUNC' IN BACKGROUND TASK
    EXPORTING
      guid = l_guid.

  COMMIT WORK.

and rest of the coding is fine.

Thanks

Subhankar.
