Hi,

No. It is not possible.

The options in OPEN_FORM is just a single structure to enter the parameters in ITCPO.

You have to loop it and pass different printer names.

Try writing a wrapper code to call the print program 4 times and use fm SET_PRINT_PARAMETERS to set the output device.This may work.

To send output to multiple printers, you can configure a pool device type. A pool device type contain a list of SAP printers which the reports will be directed to.

Do this in transaction code SPAD for spool administration.

For example, in SPAD, type ZXXX next to the field 'Output devices',

u2022 Click the button Output devices.

u2022 In change mode, click the Create button.

u2022 Specify the Device type of your printer.

u2022 Click the tabstrips 'HostSpoolAccMethod'.

u2022 In the field "Host spool access method" set to "P: Device Pool".

u2022 Click the tabstrips 'DevicePool'

u2022 Click the options "Send to all devices in pool".

u2022 Type in the list of the SAP printers device you want the report to go to in this pool under the section 'Pool Device List'.

u2022 Now, when the users send a print to the new device for e.g. ZXXX, it will print to all the spool device you have specify.
