HI Anutosh ,

1. the FM OPEN_FORM is used for opening a Form for printing.. there you specify the form name and other options like device type , Dialog which prompts a dialog for inputing the device name and so on..

eg,

call function 'OPEN_FORM’

exporting

form = 'S_EXAMPLE_1’

2.the WRITE_FORM as the name implies is to write on the form it calls the element and window on which you make your output.

eg,

call function 'WRITE_FORM'

exporting element = 'HEADING'

type = 'TOP'

window = 'MAIN'

function = 'SET'

for heading

call function 'WRITE_FORM'

exporting

element = 'BOOKING’

type = 'BODY’

window = 'MAIN'

for body

3. CLOSE_FORM closes the form finally.

call function 'CLOSE_FORM'

ps:reward points if it helps you

Hi Anutosh,

At OPEN_FORM in Export parameters "OPTIONS"

CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'

EXPORTING

form = w_form "Form Name

language = sy-langu "Language

options = itcpo "Print Configuration

i.e. ITCPO-TDPRINTER is printer name you will define.

All the answers are pointing to that only.

Hope this may help you.

Hi Anutosh ,

As Lanka Specified it can be directly specified in the open_form or it can be given at runtime by setting.

dialog = 'X' in open_form..

which prompts a dialog where you enter the device name..

you can explore the other functionalities by just looking at the FM OPEN_FORM in se37 and looking at its other options..

ps reward points for helpful answers

Hi

Use OPEN_FORM for open form printing.

WRITE_FORM for writing the contents

CLOSE_FORM for close form printing.

Hi,

You can define basic print configuration when call the function module to open the form, using the fields of table itcpo

CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'

EXPORTING

form = w_form "Form Name

language = sy-langu "Language

options = itcpo "Print Configuration

dialog = w_dialog "View dialog window 'X'

EXCEPTIONS

canceled = 1

device = 2

form = 3

options = 4

unclosed = 5

mail_options = 6

OTHERS = 7.

Example using Table ITCPO:

itcpo-tdimmed = 'X'. "print immediately

itcpo-tddelete = 'X'. "delete after printing

I hope this help you.
