Issue with open_form

Former Member — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 20:20:19 GMT

Hi all,

I have this piece of code .

when i click cancel win the pop window which shows me print,print preview and cancel with all other printer and print parametrs.

If i click cancel i get a message saying

output was cancelled by the user

call function 'OPEN_FORM'

exporting

device = 'PRINTER'

dialog = 'X'

form = space

language = sy-langu

options = itCTT

call function 'START_FORM'

exporting

ARCHIVE_INDEX =

form = 'ZFORM '

LANGUAGE = ' '
STARTPAGE = ' '
PROGRAM = ' '
MAIL_APPL_OBJECT =
IMPORTING
LANGUAGE =
EXCEPTIONS
FORM = 1
FORMAT = 2
UNENDED = 3
UNOPENED = 4

For this piece of code the iam getting a mess

START_FORM is invalid, OPEN_FORM is missing

call function 'OPEN_FORM'

exporting

device = 'PRINTER'

dialog = 'X'

form = space

language = sy-langu

options = itcTT

MAIL_SENDER =
MAIL_RECIPIENT =
MAIL_APPL_OBJECT =
RAW_DATA_INTERFACE = '*'
IMPORTING
LANGUAGE =
NEW_ARCHIVE_PARAMS =
RESULT =

exceptions

canceled = 1

device = 2

form = 3

options = 4

unclosed = 5

mail_options = 6

archive_error = 7

invalid_fax_number = 8

more_params_needed_in_batch = 9

spool_error = 10

others = 11

if sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

endif.

call function 'START_FORM'

exporting

ARCHIVE_INDEX =

form = 'ZFORM '

LANGUAGE = ' '
STARTPAGE = ' '
PROGRAM = ' '
MAIL_APPL_OBJECT =
IMPORTING
LANGUAGE =
EXCEPTIONS
FORM = 1
FORMAT = 2
UNENDED = 3
UNOPENED = 4

For the second case the sy-subrc is 1

Thanks

David

Did you try giving the form name in OPEN_FORM as ZFORM and uncomment the exceptions in the function module?

That's right, call OPEN_FORM specifying exceptions as in the second piece of code. Then check sy-subrc value and DON'T call START_FORM if it is 1 (or better, if it's not zero).

Something like this:


if sy-subrc <> 0.

	MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
	WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

Else.
	call function 'START_FORM'
	exporting
	* ARCHIVE_INDEX =
	form = 'ZFORM '
	* LANGUAGE = ' '
	* STARTPAGE = ' '
	* PROGRAM = ' '
	* MAIL_APPL_OBJECT =
	* IMPORTING
	* LANGUAGE =
	* EXCEPTIONS
	* FORM = 1
	* FORMAT = 2
	* UNENDED = 3
	* UNOPENED = 4
	.
endif.

Hi,

i did that, why we comment the exceptions in the open_form , doesnot go for forward and open a start_form and where is the error coming from in the first case when we comment or delete the exception in open_form

Thanks

You must uncomment the exceptions in the OPEN_FORM call. That way you can capture errors and identify them according to SY-SUBRC value. In thes case, whatever error occurs, you must not call START_FORM, so you just evaluate SY-SUBRC <> 0.

If you comment the exceptions, a dump will occur if an error does.
