incomplete print out

[Former Member]

Hi there. Good day. I’m a new member of your site and I'm sure you guys can help me regarding printing in SAP. I tried to print some open items in SAP in a landscape format, but when I see the print outs, each page is missing the lower portion. Almost four lines are missing. I tried to print on a portrait format and it was successful. My manager wants to print the data’s in landscape. Is there a page set-up in SAP where I can change the spacing of each line? Maybe that can be a solution. Your response is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

hi,

Welcome to SDN forum.

<b>Setting Print Parameters from within the Program</b>

If you use the print statements

1) NEW-PAGE PRINT ON

2) SUBMIT ... TO SAP-SPOOL

3) CALL FUNCTION 'JOB-SUBMIT'

you set the print parameters from within the program, using the corresponding options of the print statements. You can either display or suppress the Print parameters dialog box.

To ensure that the parameters are sent to the spool system properly and completely, you should always transfer the entire parameter set with the print statements. To create a parameter set, use the function module <b>GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS</b>.

<b>You can also view the following code :</b>

• Normal definition of the print parameters

DATA: PARAMS LIKE PRI_PARAMS,

VALID TYPE C.

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

EXPORTING DESTINATION = 'LT50'

IMPORTING OUT_PARAMETERS = PARAMS

VALID = VALID.

IF VALID <> SPACE.

NEW-PAGE PRINT ON PARAMETERS PARAMS.

ENDIF.

• Definition of the parameters for printing and archiving

DATA: PRI_PARAMS LIKE PRI_PARAMS,

ARC_PARAMS LIKE ARC_PARAMS,

VALID TYPE C.

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

IMPORTING OUT_PARAMETERS = PRI_PARAMS

OUT_ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS = ARC_PARAMS

VALID = VALID.

IF VALID <> SPACE.

NEW-PAGE PRINT ON PARAMETERS PRI_PARAMS

ARCHIVE PARAMETERS ARC_PARAMS.

ENDIF.

• Definition of the parameters for a background job

DATA: PARAMS LIKE PRI_PARAMS,

VALID TYPE C.

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

EXPORTING MODE = 'BATCH'

REPORT = 'MYREPORT'

IMPORTING OUT_PARAMETERS = PARAMS

VALID = VALID.

IF VALID <> SPACE.

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN' .... EXPORTING JOBCOUNT ...

SUBMIT MYREPORT VIA JOB 'MY_JOB' NUMBER JOBCOUNT

TO SAP-SPOOL WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO

SPOOL PARAMTERS PARAMS.

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE' ...

ENDIF.

• Modifying the print parameters

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS' "Obtain print

EXPORTING NO_DIALOG = 'X' "parameters

IMPORTING OUT_PARAMETERS = PARAMS.

...

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS' "Modify print

EXPORTING NO_DIALOG = 'X' "parameters

IN_PARAMETERS = PARAMS

LIST_NAME = 'NEW-LIST'

IMPORTING OUT_PARAMETERS = PARAMS.
