Get Print Parameters

[Former Member]

The Get_Print_Parameters , if called with parameters as :

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

EXPORTING MODE = 'BATCH'

REPORT = 'SDBILLDL'

LAYOUT = 'ZLAY-TST'

IMPORTING OUT_PARAMETERS = PARAMS

VALID = VALID.

get the settings for the layout specified in the Parameter. I tried this and it says the layout is not defined for so and so printer , when i go and see the F4 for layouts it actually pops up the format(X_jjj) not the layout that i have defined and passed in the paramaeter.

Is there any way that we can run a report with a layout , the way we can run it with variant ?? If not then what is the use of layout ?

Hi,

Check this sample code...

report ztest_print.

  DATA:L_PARAMS TYPE PRI_PARAMS,
       L_VALID TYPE C.

    CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
       EXPORTING
         IMMEDIATELY                  = ' '
       <b>  LINE_SIZE                    = 220</b>         RELEASE                      = 'X'
         MODE                         = 'CURRENT'
         NO_DIALOG                    = ' '
       IMPORTING
*     OUT_ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS       =
         OUT_PARAMETERS               = L_PARAMS
         VALID                        = L_VALID
       EXCEPTIONS
         ARCHIVE_INFO_NOT_FOUND       = 1
         INVALID_PRINT_PARAMS         = 2
         INVALID_ARCHIVE_PARAMS       = 3
         OTHERS                       = 4.
      IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

      ENDIF.
"But it will take default printer from user settings
      NEW-PAGE PRINT ON   PARAMETERS L_PARAMS NO DIALOG.
       write : 'print is on'.
      NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF.

hi sap,

did u assign any value to the layout 'ZLAY-TST'?? before calling the FM GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS IF not in the popup u will get those values.

[Former Member]

Yes , I did run the report , sorted the field as per the requirement and save the layout with this name . Now , when i got to RV60SBAT ( to run bill due list in Background ) report , goto->settings->layout->chose , it pops up the new layout that i created and the standard layout too .

But , when i go to the VF04 report and same path , it only shows the standard Layout not mine.

In the above code , As this report is scheduled as a background job and is a standard report , So , If i create a program that :

First Fetches the Layout (get_print_parameter) and then submit the job with those parameter , will it call the report and display it as per the layout ?
