Printer not located.

Former Member — Fri, 19 Jan 2007 14:01:27 GMT

I am working on a report.

The execution is getting aborted coz printer is not found.

I have user profile default set to LOCL.

Also I am using ht efollowing code to set up printer and spool

=======

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

EXPORTING

copies = 1

department = 'SYSTEM'

destination = 'LOCL'

expiration = 2

immediately = ' '
in_archive_parameters = ' '
in_parameters = ' '

layout = 'X_65_255'

line_count = 65

line_size = 255

list_name = 'TEST'

list_text = 'TEST'

mode = ' '

new_list_id = 'X'

no_dialog = 'X'

receiver = 'SAP*'

release = 'X'

sap_cover_page = 'X'

user = sy-uname

IMPORTING

out_parameters = l_params

EXCEPTIONS

archive_info_not_found = 1

invalid_print_params = 2

invalid_archive_params = 3

OTHERS = 4.

IF sy-subrc = 0 AND NOT l_params IS INITIAL.

IF NOT sy-batch IS INITIAL.

NEW-PAGE PRINT ON PARAMETERS l_params NO DIALOG NEW-SECTION.

endif.

=======

If I check the details in SM37, job log says " Printer name "" not defined"

The printer is not getting set to LOCL.

Any idea??

Solution would definitely be rewarded.

Hi Sachin123,

is 'LOCL' the normal or short name?

You have to use the shortname, look with SPAD for the correct name.

Hi Sachin123,

i have tried your code like this:

DATA: PARAMS LIKE PRI_PARAMS.

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

EXPORTING

COPIES = 1

DEPARTMENT = 'SYSTEM'

<b> DESTINATION = 'LOCA'</b>

EXPIRATION = 2

LAYOUT = 'X_65_255'

LINE_COUNT = 65

LINE_SIZE = 255

LIST_NAME = 'TEST'

LIST_TEXT = 'TEST'

MODE = ' '

NEW_LIST_ID = 'X'

NO_DIALOG = 'X'

RECEIVER = 'SAP*'

RELEASE = 'X'

SAP_COVER_PAGE = 'X'

USER = SY-UNAME

IMPORTING

OUT_PARAMETERS = PARAMS

EXCEPTIONS

ARCHIVE_INFO_NOT_FOUND = 1

INVALID_PRINT_PARAMS = 2

INVALID_ARCHIVE_PARAMS = 3

OTHERS = 4.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.

BREAK-POINT.

ELSE.

WRITE: / SY-SUBRC.

ENDIF.

it works, i have only changed the destination to the short name.

Regards, Dieter

It works when I run the program in foreground and also in the background via : Program - > Execute - > background.

But my program is scheduled to run in background by some other person.

And I think he has not maintained "LOCL" in System -> User Profile -> Own data.

so when the program runs at the scheduled time, its throwing error.

I want to know if htere is any method using which I force the printer to "LOCL" irrespective of what is maintained in the enduser's user profile.

use this code to get the user defined printer

select single spld into usr01-spld from usr01 where bname eq sy-uname .

if sy-subrc eq 0 .

move: usr01-spld to loc_dest .

endif .

now pass loc_dest to destination
