ABAP List Faxing using BCS method ( Business communication service )

[Former Member]

Experts,

I have a requirement where we are faxing the ABAP list as it gets generated .

I am using NEW-PRINT ON and NEW-PRINT OFF , to get the ABAP list in a spool request , and then get the spool contents using function module : 'RSPO_RETURN_SPOOLJOB'

I then use Class / methods provided by Business communication service , such as :

cl_cam_address_bcs=>create_fax_address ,to send this spool content to Fax gateway .

My fax goes , but the fax output list is in X_65_255 format, whereas i want the fax output to be in X_65_132 ..

My REPORT statement does have X_65_132 as line count / line size BUT somehow the Fax output does not take this list format .. ANY IDEA's ????

Would appreciate your reply .

Alongwith the NEW-PAGE you need to set the print parameters.

Like:

DATA: print_parameters TYPE pri_params.

print_parameters-PAART = 'X_65_132'.    "<< Page format

  NEW-PAGE PRINT ON PARAMETERS print_parameters
                    NO DIALOG.

Naimesh,

I have passed page format X_65_132 in GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS , in export paramter ' Layout ' ... See code below :

• write a list into spool

call function 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

exporting

line_count = sy-linct

line_size = sy-linsz

layout = 'X_65_132' <<< Page format

mode = 'BATCH'

immediately = ' '

list_text = htext_spool

list_name = 'ZV46 FAX'

no_dialog = 'X'

importing

out_parameters = print_parameters

valid = valid

exceptions

archive_info_not_found = 1 .

BUT still the fax coming out of our fax machine is compressed because i believe the outgoing fax is using page format X_65_255 .

Any idea why ????

Would appreciate your reply .

I found the answer myself BUT guiding lines were given by all you experts.
