Error using a static output device

Former Member — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 08:40:04 GMT

Hello,

I need to pass a static output device in my code but I get an error.

My code is something similar to this:

DATA :
     gs_control_parameters TYPE SSFCTRLOP,
     gs_output_options TYPE SSFCOMPOP.

    gs_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.
    gs_output_options-XDFOUTDEV = 'PRUEBA'.
*    gs_output_options-tddest = 'PRUE'.

CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
     EXPORTING
       formname                 = 'MYFORM'
      VARIANT                  = ' '
      DIRECT_CALL              = ' '
    IMPORTING
      FM_NAME                  = v_fm
    EXCEPTIONS
      NO_FORM                  = 1
      NO_FUNCTION_MODULE       = 2
      OTHERS                   = 3
             .
   IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
            WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
   ENDIF.

gs_output_options-tdnewid = 'X'.

     WHILE pnet > 0.
       if pnet = 1.
             gs_output_options-tdfinal = 'X'.
       endif.
       CALL FUNCTION v_fm
         EXPORTING
           control_parameters         = gs_control_parameters
           output_options             = gs_output_options
           zmatnr                     = pmat-low
           zlot                       = plot-low
           zfem                       = pfemb
           zpes                       = ppeso.
       pnet = pnet - 1.
     endwhile.
   endif.

I send several copies of my report to the spool. This is why I'm using the parameters tdnewid and tdfinal.

It works fine in case I don't the parameter no_dialog but I need it because otherwise the spool dialog appears for each copy.

The name of my output device is PRUEBA but, I don't know exactly which parameter I must use.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Hi David,

Set USER_SETTINGS = space while calling smartform.

_control_param-no_dialog = 'X'.

_output_options-tddest = 'PRUEBA'.

CALL FUNCTION _fm_name

EXPORTING

control_parameters = _control_param

output_options = _output_options

USER_SETTINGS = space

i_data = _label_data

EXCEPTIONS

formatting_error = 1

internal_error = 2

send_error = 3

user_canceled = 4

OTHERS = 5.

Hi Basar.

writing your code it doesn't return any error but the spool doesn't start and, of course, the report isn't printed:

CALL FUNCTION v_fm
         EXPORTING
           control_parameters         = gs_control_parameters
           output_options             = gs_output_options
*            USER_SETTINGS      = space
           zmatnr                     = pmat-low
           zlot                       = plot-low
           zfem                       = pfemb
           zpes                       = ppeso.
Any suggestion?

Thanks for your help.

Did you set tdimmed of output options?

_output_options-tddelete = 'X'. "Delete after print

_output_options-tdimmed = 'X'. "Print immediately

Ok, now it works well whenever I go out from the execution and run it again.

I mean, the first time it works well and the second time that I want to print without going out from the execution, it seems that lose the parameters and the device output is not "PRUEBA" again.

Is there any way to keep the values of the parameters until I finish the execution?

It's important for me because it's program which must be always opened in a pc and is constantly used.

Thanks.

Hi Basar,

I've seen the link and I've tried the following in the code though I get an error in fact, it seems that the spool is hang:

   gs_control_parameters-no_open   = 'X'.
   gs_control_parameters-no_close = 'X'.
   gs_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.
   gs_output_options-tddest   = 'PRUEBA'. "En el futuro deberá ser LOCL
   gs_output_options-tddelete = 'X'. "Delete after print
   gs_output_options-tdimmed = 'X'. "Print immediately
break droig.
   CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_OPEN'
     EXPORTING
       control_parameters       = gs_control_parameters
     EXCEPTIONS
       formatting_error         = 1
       internal_error           = 2
       send_error               = 3
       user_canceled            = 4
       OTHERS                   = 5.

..........................

..........................
CALL FUNCTION v_fm
         EXPORTING
           control_parameters         = gs_control_parameters
           output_options             = gs_output_options
            USER_SETTINGS      = space
           zmatnr                     = pmat-low
           zlot                       = plot-low
           zfem                       = pfemb
           zpes                       = ppeso
           znroetq                    = pnroetq.

..........................

CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_CLOSE'
       EXCEPTIONS
         formatting_error = 1
         internal_error   = 2
         send_error       = 3
         OTHERS           = 4.

Any suggestion would be welcome.

Thanks a lot for your patience.

Hi David,

Call SSF_CLOSE before SSF_OPEN as below.

CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_CLOSE'

EXCEPTIONS

formatting_error = 1

internal_error = 2

send_error = 3

OTHERS = 4.

   CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_OPEN'
     EXPORTING
       control_parameters       = gs_control_parameters
     EXCEPTIONS
       formatting_error         = 1
       internal_error           = 2
       send_error               = 3
       user_canceled            = 4
       OTHERS                   = 5.

..........................

CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_CLOSE'
       EXCEPTIONS
         formatting_error = 1
         internal_error   = 2
         send_error       = 3
         OTHERS           = 4.

Basr,

it doesn't work.

I've change the position of SSF_OPEN and SSF_CLOSE to see if it could be the problem but the same:

   gs_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.
   gs_control_parameters-no_open   = 'X'.
   gs_control_parameters-no_close = 'X'.

CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_CLOSE'
          EXCEPTIONS
            formatting_error = 1
            internal_error   = 2
            send_error       = 3
            OTHERS           = 4.

   gs_output_options-tddest   = 'PRUEBA'. "En el futuro deberá ser LOCL
   gs_output_options-tddelete = 'X'. "Delete after print
   gs_output_options-tdimmed = 'X'. "Print immediately

   CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_OPEN'
     EXPORTING
       control_parameters       = gs_control_parameters
     EXCEPTIONS
       formatting_error         = 1
       internal_error           = 2
       send_error               = 3
       user_canceled            = 4
       OTHERS                   = 5.

Hello Basar,

we finally got. I've only made a small modification:

   gs_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.
   gs_output_options-tddest   = 'PRUEBA'. "En el futuro deberá ser LOCL
   gs_output_options-tddelete = 'X'. "Delete after print
   gs_output_options-tdimmed = 'X'. "Print immediately

i = pnet.
     WHILE i > 0.
       IF i = pnet.
         gs_output_options-tdnewid = 'X'.
       ELSE.
         gs_output_options-tdnewid = space.
       ENDIF.

       CALL FUNCTION v_fm
         EXPORTING
           control_parameters         = gs_control_parameters
           output_options             = gs_output_options
           USER_SETTINGS      = space

           zmatnr                     = pmat-low
           zlot                       = plot-low
           zfem                       = pfemb
           zpes                       = ppeso
           znroetq                    = pnroetq.

       IF sy-subrc <> 0.
*       MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*               WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
       ENDIF.
       i = i - 1.
     endwhile.

Thanks a lot for your help.
