Print dynamic document without viewing it

Former Member — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 12:00:57 GMT

Hi Guys,

I have a problem with the class cl_dd_document.

The manual says that it is possible to print a dd_document without viewing it, it says:

1. Build document

2. Merge document

3. Print document

Until step 2 theres no Problem, but when i call the method print_document( ) the report crashes.

The dump information indicates that there's a null-pointer-exception for a html_control.

is it impossible to call this method, without displaying the document in a custom control first?

Hi,

if you are in ECC 5.0 version then check the example <b>DD_STYLE_TABLE</b> there you have option to print in the output , it is working fine.place a button in the screen and when you click on it , in PAI do this code.

MODULE USER_COMMAND_0100 INPUT.
  CASE SY-UCOMM.
    WHEN 'BACK'.                       "Beenden
      LEAVE PROGRAM.
    <b>WHEN 'PRN'.
      CALL METHOD DO->PRINT_DOCUMENT
              EXPORTING REUSE_CONTROL = 'X'</b>.

Hi vijay,

this report is a good demonstration but it it can't solve the problem.

I have to call the method display_document(parent=...) first, that means i need a custom control filled with the html control. Otherwise the report will crash.
