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,
Soumya.

Hi Valerie,
I am using below code to get the printer name by default , even i want to skip that screen that asks for the printer name. But am unable to get this requirement. I have tried with various combinations but its not working. Please suggest.

control-no_dialog = SPACE.
output_options-tddest = 'LP01'.
CALL FUNCTION lv_fmname

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.

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.

Output device issue in smartform

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.

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.

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

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?

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

Output device LOCL is not defined

Hi,
I am getting an error message while executing a report containing smartform

The coding is as follows:
l_s_ssfctrlop-no_dialog = 'X'.
l_s_ssfctrlop-getotf = 'X'.
l_s_output_options-tddest = 'LOCL'.
l_s_output_options-tdnoprint = 'X'.
CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
Please let me know what is the issue here.
Thanks,

Hi,
Might be the local printer is not defined. Try using LP01.
To verify for LOCL...
Goto SPAD tcodeFull Administrations>Mention the LOCL in the Output Device I/0 Field.

Output_options in SF; selecting output device

Hi all,
i've been struggling with the following, maybe anyone can help?
In a smartforms i want to, dynamically determine the printer for output.
Whatever i do, i cant get it to work. I have set 'print directly' OFF so i can catch the printjobs in the spool. When i look in the Spool, allways the default printer is selected. And when i delete my default printer, i get an error while printing saying i have to define a printer.
This is what i tried so far:
-set USER_SETTINGS to SPACE in the form
- set OUTPUT_OPTIONS-DDEST to the short printername
- set the OUTPUT_OPTIONS-TDPRINTEr to the long printer name
- i even tried the following code which comes with a popup to select th eoutput device..
data : g_dest TYPE rspopname,
g_printer TYPE rspoptype.
*FM to accept the device type and returns the short name of the output device
CALL FUNCTION 'EFG_GET_PRINTER'
EXPORTING
x_no_dialog = ' '
x_obligatory = 'X'
IMPORTING
y_tddest = g_dest
EXCEPTIONS
cancelled = 1
failed = 2
OTHERS = 3.
*device type name for the output device
SELECT SINGLE patype "#EC CI_NOFIELD
FROM tsp03d
INTO g_printer
WHERE padest = g_dest.
output_options-tddest = g_dest.
output_options-tdprinter = g_printer.
The result is allways the same: in the Spool, it has the default printer defined...
What am i doing wrong?
Is it wrong to send the jobs to the spool, where i've deactiveted 'print directly'?
Is it wrong to look at the spool-job for determining on which printer it will be printed?
Hope someone can help!
thanks
Joris Bots

Hi Ravi,
My default printer in Own data is set to let's say PR2007.
I'm not sure what other default printer you mean.
What i want is to send the smartform to a printer
depending on the user's printer in its Own Data.
so if a usre has defined printer PR2007, then the smartform should go to PR2557
if the user has defined printer PR3004, then the form should go to PR3557, etc.
Thank you for your help
Joris

Update was terminated: maintain output device. How to avoid?

Hi,
I created a smartform, and when it is printed, we get the error: Please maintain an output device in your user master data.
The client wants to avoid this error, without having to maintain the output device in the user master data.
So I look for the printer device in the NAST table, and pass the printer device in the output parameters when the form is being called.
But I still get the same message. Anybody know a solution for this? THX.
Here some of my code.
Select printer name
      select single LDEST from nast into v_printer_name
                         where OBJKY = NAST-OBJKY.
      output_options-tddest = v_printer_name.
      output_options-tdprinter = v_printer_name.
call function FM_NAME
EXPORTING
    control_parameters = control_parameters
    output_options     = output_options
    user_settings      = ' '

Hi,
Have you checked the sy-subrc value for the select statement that fetches LDEST from NAST? If the condition fails try to get the user default printer and pass it on to the smartforms.
select single LDEST from nast into v_printer_name
where OBJKY = NAST-OBJKY.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
output_options-tddest = v_printer_name.
output_options-tdprinter = v_printer_name.
else.
          wa_users-mandt = sy-mandt.
          wa_users-bname = sy-uname.
          APPEND wa_users TO i_users.
Get the user default printer.
          CALL FUNCTION 'SUSR_GET_USER_DEFAULTS'
            TABLES
              users = i_users
            EXCEPTIONS
              OTHERS = 0.
          READ TABLE i_users INTO wa_user1 INDEX 1.
          IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
set user default printer
            output_options-tddest = v_printer_name.
            output_options-tdprinter = v_printer_name.

Changing font size for output device / spool file

hi all,
i see only these below parameters for print in the code of the transaction which gets spool no and output device as input and prints it.
i need to increase the font size of the print out.any help?
LAYOUT                 = 'X_65_132'
      LINE_COUNT             = 60
      LINE_SIZE              = 110

Hi Sona,
You can not do that in report.
If you need some output format like font type, color, size you have to use Smartforms or Sapscript.
Sapscript Tcode: SE71,
Smartforms TCode: SMARTFORMS.

Maintain output device in user master data

when we try to print the Purchase order smartform we are getting the
following update terminated error message.
" Please maintain output device in user master data".
1. If we maintain output device in my user profile as any printer name
then we are not getting the update terminated error message.
2. when we select the network printer it is always printing
using the output device maintained in the user profile (example
LOCL). it is not printing using network printer.
when we select the network printer it should overwrite the user profile
output device.
Can we have the network printer selected irrespective of the printer
maintained in the user profile?
Please provide the solution
Title was edited by:
Alvaro Tejada Galindo

Hi
If you mention printer as LOCL the system will use network printer and the printer will be controled by Windows.
If you specify printer name the printer will be controled by SAP.
I hope now you can re-analyze your issue.

Output Device prints 3 copies of each print out

Hi Frnds,
We are facing a problem with the output device.
When we try to print anything from SAP to an out put device, it gives us 3 copies of same printout.
We tried with smartforms, sap scripts and even a normal print request from the anywhere in SAP. For the particular output device it gives 3 printouts.
That output device is configured to a particular printer here in the user location.
We have also tried couple of other things,
Made that particulrt printer as the default one in our operating system (Windows) and printed using LOCL output device. It printed only one copy.
Made other printer as the default in Windows and then print using LOCL output device, now again it printed only one copy, to another printer.
Since it prints 3 copies of the same thing from anywhere in SAP with this op device, We think that there is no problem in Print programs or in Output condition configurations.
The spool that gets generated out of this request says "No. of copies" 1.
Not really sure where its going wrong. We think the problem is somewhere in Basis settings.
If any one has faced this kind of issue can u please let me know how we can rectify this?
Regards,
Karthick C

Hello,
Are you using Access Method G for the output?
If so you can check if the following setting was set:
set use_copies = N (where N = number of copies) in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\SAPlpd\SAPLPD
Check the SAP note: 1149136 also.

David
