hi experts,

I have scheduled my report program in background.My requirement is that it should print automatically at the scheduled time.

A spool request is being created but i have to manually give the print from transaction sp02.

When i run in the foreground, the printing is done aautomatically on the press of F8.

Let me kno how i can achieve this ?

Hi,

what kind of printer do you have?. As I know, background printing is not possible for front-end printers. Please check this in transaction SPAD for your printer an choose one with hostpool l or s or u.

Hi,

You need to write JOB_OPEN, JOB_SUBMIT, and JOB_CLOSE function modules to perform a Job at scheduled time. If you want to print then use the Function moduel GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS to get the print parameters and after that NEW-PAGE PRINT on WITH PARAMS.
