SUBMIT command; for print dialog box-how to pass parameter here?

Question

Hi Gurus,
I am calling a report from another report. Inside report_2 i am using,
When i execute report2, i get a PRINT DIALOG BOX
Here i need to enter the output device name. and again excute.
I am not able to automate this in my program. Could you suggest?
Through F1 help, i found the screen_field name(of the output device parameter) to be 'SFPOUTPAR-DEST'
and i enter default output device 'PDEST'
where do i give this?
and also, after this, i need to do a 'Print Preview' action and see if file is opening up.
Can i automate these actions?
I am using:
rspar_line-selname = 'SFPOUTPAR-DEST'. // the output device parameter name
rspar_line-kind = 'S'.
rspar_line-sign = 'I'.
rspar_line-option = 'EQ'.
rspar_line-low = 'PDEST'. // PDEST is the default value i want to pass
APPEND rspar_line TO rspar_tab.
Then i do, (inside report 2....)
SUBMIT report_1
WITH SELECTION-TABLE rspar_tab
AND RETURN.
Its not working... i just get the print dialog box(without values being defaulted)
How do i proceed?
Thanks,
Rashmi

Hi
You can do the following way.
  data :  lv_pri_params     like pri_params,
          lv_user_name      type char16,
          lv_user_name0     like tbtcjob-authcknam.
  lv_user_name  = sy-uname.
  lv_user_name0 = sy-uname.
  call function 'LOAD_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
       exporting
            key            = lv_user_name
       importing
            out_parameters = lv_pri_params
       exceptions
            error_occured  = 1
            others         = 2.
  if sy-subrc <> 0 or lv_pri_params-pdest is initial.
    select single padest into lv_pri_params-pdest from tsp03.
  endif.
  submit report1
    with selection-table rspar_tab
             destination             lv_pri_params-pdest
             copies                  lv_pri_params-prcop
             list name               lv_pri_params-plist
             immediately             space
             keep in spool           'X'
             new list identification 'X'
             line-count              lv_pri_params-linct
             line-size               lv_pri_params-linsz
             sap cover page          lv_pri_params-prsap
             cover page              lv_pri_params-prbig
             without spool dynpro
             user lv_user_name
             and return.
