Omit Spool Display screen while printing

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a custom requirement wherein I used a custom PRINT button to print outputlist to printer, when I press PRINT button it takes me to the spool display screen and later when I press back it prints. Can anyone let me know as how to avoid this spool display screen and continue printing?

Hi Jagathguru,

can you explane a little bit more.

Do you have an own ABAP with own Print-Button.

Do you use an FM for Printing?

Hi Dieter,

I have a ABAP Dialog program where in I have a text box with an ALV under it. Now the custom button is placed below these two and when I print using the standard FM 'PRINT_REPORT' the ALV list with the text box details are send to printer, but before that the spool which is getting created is displayed. Now I have to avoid this screen being displayed and cotinue printing.

Am I explained you properly?

hi,

Set importing parameter of FM No_Dialog to 'X'.

have already tried with setting the no_dialog flag, but in the end the spool gets displayed..

Hi,

Once you set the NO DIALOG parameter to `X`, when you execute the report, you would be getting a pop-up where you provide the printer details. Uncheck the Print preview check box.

Hi,

Print preview details are not shown while printing, the screen which gets displayed is the spool request screen.

Hi Jagathguru,

i have tried the FM. I think there is no way.

But why don't you use statement: NEW-PAGE PRINT ON ...
