Overwriting spool parameters.

Former Member — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 05:17:04 GMT

Hi all,

I have a Z program and I am setting the print parameters using the FM 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

The destination is set to LOCL.

However my program calls a standard program - RFEBKA00.

This program again uses the 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS' and it is not setting destination to LOCL.

The parameters I am setting is getting over written in the second call to this FM.

Thus when the job runs in back ground, I am getting the error : printer " " not found

I am not getting a way how to come out of this.

YOur valuable suggestion would be helpful and rewarded.

regards

Hi Sachin

I guess you are using SUBMIT statement for calling program: RFEBKA00.

Try to make use of addition <b>DESTINATION</b> in SUBMIT statement to pass the printer and <b>ARCHIVE PARAMETERS</b>.

Kind Regards

Hi Eswar,

Thanks for the reply.

I have used hte code in the following way::

SUBMIT rfebka00

WITH Destination EQ 'LOCL'.

its not working tough..

Hi,

After using FM: GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS, modify any parameters that you want to change and then use the FM: SET_PRINT_PARAMETERS to set the new print parameters.

Need to use ARCHIVE PARAMETERS also.

Below examples from the documenation might help you understand the same:

Example

* Without archiving 
DATA: PARAMS LIKE PRI_PARAMS, 
      DAYS(1)  TYPE N VALUE 2, 
      COUNT(3) TYPE N VALUE 1, 
      VALID    TYPE C. 

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS' 
  EXPORTING DESTINATION           = 'LT50' 
            COPIES                = COUNT 
            LIST_NAME             = 'TEST' 
            LIST_TEXT             = 'SUBMIT ... TO SAP-SPOOL' 
            IMMEDIATELY           = 'X' 
            RELEASE               = 'X' 
            NEW_LIST_ID           = 'X' 
            EXPIRATION            = DAYS 
            LINE_SIZE             = 79 
            LINE_COUNT            = 23 
            LAYOUT                = 'X_PAPER' 
            SAP_COVER_PAGE        = 'X' 
            COVER_PAGE            = 'X' 
            RECEIVER              = 'SAP*' 
            DEPARTMENT            = 'System' 
            NO_DIALOG             = ' ' 
  IMPORTING OUT_PARAMETERS        = PARAMS 
            VALID                 = VALID. 

IF VALID <> SPACE. 
  SUBMIT RSTEST00 TO SAP-SPOOL 
    SPOOL PARAMETERS PARAMS 
    WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO. 
ENDIF.
