Output device in SPAD/Smartform

Hi All,
We have a ouput device created through SPAD transaction with a name of 14 characters.
We want to pass the output device name to the Smartform. But the smartform has a parameter of ssfcompop-tdest of only 4 characters.
We do not want to change the output device name from 14 characters to 4 characters.
Is there any alternative to pass the Output device name to smartform without changing the name of output device.
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Prashant

Hi prashant,
even you create 14 chars or 20 chars it doesn't matter. but we will pass the short name not the name which you created 14 chars. i guess you might gave <b>short name</b> for your printer in SPAD while creating check it, that you have to pass.

Output device option in smartform

Hi,
I am getting the below error in a program which calls a smartform.
'Output device LOCL is not defined'. As the output device LOCL is not maintained in the system through tcode SPAD, ia m getting this.
My doubt is if i remove the option of giving output device, will it work.
The coding is as follows:
* Set the Parameters of smartform
l_s_ssfctrlop-no_dialog   = 'X'.
l_s_ssfctrlop-getotf      = 'X'.
l_s_output_options-tddest = 'LOCL'. --------> if I comment this line, will it work without any error as I don't want to print it.
l_s_output_options-tdnoprint = 'X'.

Hi,
One more doubt if I give the parameter
l_s_output_options-tdnoprint = 'X'. will it prevent the printing of the form generated or is it just to disable the print button in the pop up.

I am not passing tddest (output device) to 'l_s_output_options' as I don't want to print it.
I just want to convert the otf data obtained to pdf and use it for further processing.
Will there be any problem if I don't assign any ouput device.
Please note that in the system ouput device 'LOCL' is not maintained.
Thanks,

Output device issue in smartform

Hi All,
I have configured smartform and driver program throough nace and testing output . I am facing the problem of alignment of output which is changing depening on Printer. i.e., for printer one the field KOMVD-KBETR(VAT) is prining properly .But if we give another printer or MAIL_PDF as output device then it is moving towards left and alignemnt is wront.
Please let me know if any solution and max points will provided.
Thanks,
J.P
Edited by: Prakash Jeevakala on Sep 14, 2009 2:00 PM

When using SAPscript or SmartForms, HP (PCL based) printers in SAP will generate an extra 1/4 inch or so on the left margin.
Design your form for the specific printer. If multiple printer types will be used, design the form to fit regardless of the margin adjustment.

Output devices list not appearing completely in the drop down list

Hi,
I have a query where I am not able to see all the 583 output devices in the drop down list of output device for a transaction code whereas I can see all the output devices in SPAD. Can anyone tell me the reason for this?
Thanks.
Brijesh

Dear Brijesh,
You can show all the value, click on the restriction button, then change the max numbers of hits to 10000,then you can list all the data in drop down, as per i know in standard it will only give you 500.

Output device - printing in unix file - where do I define the UNIX path?

Hi,
We use an special Output Device to print spool requests directly in Unix. These Output Devices are defined as Local Unix File. When those spool requests are printed, a file is created in certain path in UNIX.
The question is where this link is defined?, I dont see where in the Output Device (trn SPAD) is defined the path in UNIX.
Thanks!
Aaron

Hi,
Might be the unix path would have been defined in the SPAD only under the Access method of the output device, in the field Destination host.

SmartForms : Printing Non-English characters with SWIN output device?

I have a Japanese Text (entered in Unicode at So10) and I want to print it from my SmartForms application using SWIN device type.
I thought SWIN converted all the components into graphics before sending to printer. To my surprise, the Japanese text printed out as "########".
I even tried duplicate the SWIN output device to another output device and changed the character set to 4103 UTF-16LE Unicode / ISO/IEC 10646 but then the print process hang.
Anyone knows how to overcome the problem so that I can print Japanese with SWin output device?

hi, i guess you havent defined your printer (i.e) output type.
if you use driver program then when you call your sf just insert the below code.
also please check your reference field

NULL output Device creation in SPAD

Dear Guru's,
To Preventing the creation of spool request for all users.We can assign an output device with the name NULL. It means that no spool requests are created for those users in SAP. Could you please some one let me know, how to create NULL output Device in SAP and is there any other setting we need to do at OS level.
Thanks,

Hi,
Please refer the below note and link which should answer your query. As per my knowledge I think you have to create one output device name NULL in SPAD Tcode.

Default output device for smartform

Hi all
how can we assign a default output device to a smart form so that the every time we execute a smartform it doesnt ask for a output device?
thanks in advance....

Hi
First see what your default out put device is.
That you can see in SU3>Default>OutputDevice.
Suppose it is set as 'PRINTER' .
Then in ur print program you have to write the logic as below.
CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
    EXPORTING
      FORMNAME           = 'Z_smartform
