The Print Program:

Structure of a print program

OPEN_FORM function

CLOSE_FORM function

WRITE_FORM

START_FORM function

END_FORM function

CONTROL_FORM function

The print program is used to print forms. The program retieves the necesary data from datbase

tables, defines the order of in which text elements are printed, chooses a form for printing and

selects an output device and print options.

Function modules in a printprogram:

When you print a form you must used the staments OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM. To combine

forms into a single spool request use START_FORM and END_FORM.

To print textelements in a form use WRITE_FORM. The order in which the textelements are printed,

is determined by the order of the WRITE_FORM statements. Note: for printing lines in the body, you

can also use the WRITE_FORM_LINES function module.

To transfer control command to a form use CONTROL_FORM.

Structure of a print program

  • Read data

Tables: xxx.

SELECT *

FROM xxx.

  • Open form printing - Must be called before working with any of the other form function modules.

  • Must be ended with function module CLOSE FORM

call function 'OPEN_FORM'.....

  • To begin several indentical forms containing different data within a single spool request, begin each

form using START_FORM, and end it using END_FORM

call funtion 'START_FORM'.....

  • Write text elements to a window of the form

call function 'WRITE_FORM'.....

  • Ends spool request started with START_FORM

call funtion 'END_FORM'.....

  • Closes form printing

call function 'CLOSE_FORM'...

OPEN_FORM function

Syntax:

CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'

  • EXPORTING

  • APPLICATION = 'TX'

  • ARCHIVE_INDEX =

  • ARCHIVE_PARAMS =

  • DEVICE = 'PRINTER'

  • DIALOG = 'X'

  • FORM = ' '

  • LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU

  • MAIL_SENDER =

  • MAIL_RECIPIENT =

  • MAIL_APPL_OBJECT =

  • RAW_DATA_INTERFACE = '*'

  • IMPORTING

  • NEW_ARCHIVE_PARAMS =

  • RESULT =

  • EXCEPTIONS

  • CANCELED = 1

  • DEVICE = 2

  • FORM = 3

  • OPTIONS = 4

  • UNCLOSED = 5

  • MAIL_OPTIONS = 6

  • ARCHIVE_ERROR = 7

  • INVALID_FAX_NUMBER = 8

  • MORE_PARAMS_NEEDED_IN_BATCH = 9

  • SPOOL_ERROR = 10

  • OTHERS = 11

.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

  • MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

  • WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

Some important parameters:

FORM Name of the form

DEVICE PRINTER : Print output using spool

TELEFAX: Fax output

SCREEN: Output to screen

OPTIONS Used to control attrubutes for printing or faxing (Number of copies, immediate output....

The input for the parameter is structure ITCPO.

CLOSE_FORM function

CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'

  • IMPORTING

  • RESULT =

  • RDI_RESULT =

  • TABLES

  • OTFDATA =

  • EXCEPTIONS

  • UNOPENED = 1

  • BAD_PAGEFORMAT_FOR_PRINT = 2

  • SEND_ERROR = 3

  • SPOOL_ERROR = 4

  • OTHERS = 5

.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

  • MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

  • WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

Paramerters:

RESULT Returns status information and print/fax parameters after the form has been printed.

RESULT is of structure ITCPP.

WRITE_FORM function

CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'

  • EXPORTING

  • ELEMENT = ' '

  • FUNCTION = 'SET'

.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

  • MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

  • WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

Some important parameters:

ELEMENT Specifies which textelement is printed

WINDOW Specifies which window is printed

TYPE Specifies the output area of the main window. This can be:

TOP - Used for headers

BODY

BOTTOM - Used for footers

FUNCTION Specifies whether text is to be appended, replaced or added

Example of how to use the WRITE_FORM function module together with a script.
