Printing report directly from printer

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need a small information.if any one of our guys can give me some info that would be great.

I am writing a ABAP report now. lets say when we write 'hello world' in code and F8 program o/p will show 'hello world' right. I need to print this through user default printer automatically...might be pop-up for confirmation would help.

Thanks in advance...

You might want to check out the PRINT-CONTROL statement. Do F1 help on PRINT-CONTROL.

Hi Raj,

Also explore the use of "SUBMIT rep ... TO SAP-SPOOL." statement.

Look at following link for example -

Hi Rich,

Calling program is

REPORT ZTESTRAJ1 .

parameters:p_date like sy-datum.

DATA: SELTAB TYPE TABLE OF RSPARAMS,

SELTAB_WA LIKE LINE OF SELTAB.

start-of-selection.

CLEAR SELTAB_WA.

MOVE: 'p_date' TO SELTAB_WA-SELNAME,

'P' TO SELTAB_WA-KIND, " PARAMETER

sy-datum TO SELTAB_WA-LOW.

APPEND SELTAB_WA TO SELTAB.

CLEAR SELTAB_WA.

MOVE: 'p_matnr' TO SELTAB_WA-SELNAME,

'P' TO SELTAB_WA-KIND, " PARAMETER

'1233344' TO SELTAB_WA-LOW.

APPEND SELTAB_WA TO SELTAB.

SUBMIT Ztestraj with p_date eq sy-datum

with p_uname eq sy-uname

with p_matnr eq '122333' and return.

if sy-subrc = 0.

write 'Printed'.

endif.

Here is the program Ztestraj

You are submitting the same program inside of ZTESTRAJ, but this time you are not sending any parameters, this is why you are not getting your output.

You must pass your values thru to the next call....

    submit  zrich_0003 to sap-spool
    spool parameters params
    without spool dynpro
    with P_matnr = p_matnr
    with p_date = p_date
    with p_uname = p_uname
                and return.

But hang on........ when doing this I'm in a loop and I'm getting an error saying that maximum sessions reached.

I'll get back./

To solve your problem quickly, I would suggest not calling the program inside itself, call another program instead.

Here is a very crude solution for calling the same program in a program, it works but it is not very pretty.

I have changed your program name to mine.

report zrich_0003 .

parameters:
p_matnr like mara-matnr,
p_date like sy-datum,
p_uname like sy-uname,
<b>p_trigr type c default space.</b>
data: l_matnr like mcha-matnr.

start-of-selection.

<b>  if p_trigr = 'X'.</b>

    l_matnr = p_matnr.

    call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT'
    exporting
    input = l_matnr
    importing
    output = l_matnr
* EXCEPTIONS
* LENGTH_ERROR = 1
* OTHERS = 2
    .
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
* WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
    endif.

    write: l_matnr.

<b>  else.</b>

    data: params like pri_params,
    days(1) type n value 2,
    count(3) type n value 1,
    valid type c.

    call function 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
    exporting destination = 'LOCL'
    copies = count
    list_name = 'ZRICH_0003'
    list_text = 'SUBMITTO SAP-SPOOL'
    immediately = 'X'
    release = 'X'
    new_list_id = 'X'
    expiration = days
    line_size = 80
    line_count = 120
    layout = 'X_44_120'
* SAP_COVER_PAGE = 'X'
    cover_page = 'X'
* RECEIVER = 'SAP*'
* DEPARTMENT = 'System'
    no_dialog = 'X'
    importing out_parameters = params
    valid = valid.

    if valid <> space.
      submit  zrich_0003 to sap-spool
      spool parameters params
      without spool dynpro
      with p_matnr = p_matnr
      with p_date = p_date
      with p_uname = p_uname
      with p_trigr  = 'X'
                  and return.

      if sy-subrc = 0.

      endif.
    endif.

<b>  endif.</b>

please remember to award points accordingly. Thanks.
