SDB output is not printing

[former_member553]

Hello Experts,

I am not able to print SDS via SD_CALL. It is generating the spool but it is not taking G_RAW format in to consideration but when I change manually the format to G_RAW in the spool and print directly from spool it is printing.

I have G_RAW format under the customization "Specify Communication"

But when the spool is generated it is taking the FORMAT as ABAP list (ex: X_65_80) but not taking G_RAW.

I have few questions like

1. What kind of Output device I need to use?

2. What should be Access method for the Output device

Am I missing any configuration ?? Please help.

Regards

Dheeraj

Hello

assuming you can reprodure the problem in "qual system". You need to find the relevant function module (which is responsible for handling the spool/print part in EHS); go through the report shipping process manually and then use a "break point" in the function module. You should see then: which data is read from customizing and how it is processed

PLease check on top the "printer set up" in customizing. This customizing is a having "not so niece" user interface so you should check on "table" level content. Try to identfiy the line which "may be" could generate the info "ABAP" (and not as expected X_65_80)

So currently: I would assume that there is a wrong customizing set up

ANY printer you use must have the same set up. Per Sales Organization / Initiator you can use a different printer. So may be compare the customizing set up of all you printers

You can check SAP table CVCHD to check the printer set up

C.B.

PS: i summerize your findings: you check the corresponding "report shipment order" and you can see that "G_RAW" is not used but "ABAP" is used (check table CVDDH)

PPS: https://blogs.sap.com/2016/04/10/ehs-classic-report-distribution/ could be of interest; but content is "outdated" ; in the last year: the "Report shipment" process was not discussed often

From the configuration "Assign Default Printer " give the printer name and click on output device button then it will ask to enter all parameters and those parameters will be stored and will be taken care when you execute any CALL with communication type LET.
