Error in passing print parameters

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am submitting a report in background and using FM Get_print_parameters to get and pass print parameters to the dialog box appears while submitting that report.

My problem is that i am passing printing device 'lab1' to dialog box through function module get_print_parameters but '$lab1' appears in the dialog box and hence due to invalid device spool request is not getting generated.I am running program in background so can't remove

'$' from the device name.

Kindly advice me what can be done to solve this problem...

Regards..

Generally the $ sign comes when the output device does not exist. Just check in SPAD tcode whether the output device lab1 is present or not? If it is not then create or use the some other output device. But if it is there and then also you are getting the error then dbl click on the output device and try to pass the short text of the output device instead of lab1.
