open_form without dialog

former_member537489 — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 14:55:38 GMT

Dear experts,

I am using the 'OPEN_FORM' fm, in my sapscript, which I need to print to a PRINTER device, but I dont want to show the dialog, so in parameter DIALOG i use space.

But when I do that, it doesnt know that i want to print, I havent pushed button PRNT in the popup.

What can i do?

Thank you in advance,

Roxani

Please try giving the printer name.



  data itcpo type itcpo.

    itcpo-tdimmed    = 'X'.
    itcpo-tdnewid    = 'X'.
    itcpo-tdprogram  = sy-repid.
    itcpo-tddest = 'PRINTER_NAME'.

    call function 'OPEN_FORM'
         exporting
              device   = 'PRINTER'
              language = sy-langu
              options  = itcpo
              dialog   = ' '
         exceptions
              others   = 1.

Dear Rich,

Thanks for your reply,

I have added this to my code but it still doesn't work.

In the close form function, it outputs subrc = 2.

But with the same parameters, when i use DIALOG = X in open_form, its prints OK.

Pease help.

Thank you,

Roxani

OK i found it: I need to make parameter TDPREVIEW of the OPEN_FORM OPTIONS = space, in order to immediatelly send output to the printer.

Thank you,

Roxani
