I am not able understand what the exact problem is!!!!

Hi,
Have you tried both (Print preview & Printout) using the same printer ?
If yes, please try to create a spool & chk whether it is comming properly.
Reason, may be some server memory issue, it can respond like this for the print preview.

Issue Regarding Chinese characters In Smart Form Print preview..

Hi All,
I am working on a smart form development for chinese users. The requirement is the user will login using English & when the delivery will be issued for output, a check will be done on the country of user. If that comes as china then the international version (C) maintained for that customer will come as output.
Now the problem is even if I login using EN or ZH the below issue I am facing always.
In the database I can view the details in chinese properly by logging in as ZH. During debugging also i checked the data from table ADRC & MAKT is coming in chinese properly. But when i gave the values to be output in SmartForm, it is showing the characters like how it will look if I login using EN & view the table contents.
When i view the data by changing character set as Simplified Chinese then in table i can see chinese texts properly. But when the same data goes to print preview it shows the chinese characters like as it would appear when character set is Unicode or West European..
Please help..
Thanks in advance.

Dear,
print preview and physical printout are two different things.
PrintPreview:
The data stream will be sent to the frontend and rendered with windows-fonts etc (for backend prints a simulation).
Printout:
Frontend: You need a printer, that maps the character, you have to use SAPWIN or SAPWINCF when using cascading fonts. The rendering will be done in the windows spooler.
Backend: Your printer needs also a mapping (look like something with UTF8). Also the printer needs the fonts installed because the rendering will be done in the printer!
If you use the pdf-printer in SAP, you need to upload all necessary fonts (TTF) for the pdf-composer. Also you need a unicode pdf printer for that.

Christian

Smart form PRINT PREVIEW working on one box but not on other box

Hi Guys,
I have one program which works on DV1 box but is not working on DV2 box. It is NOT giving short dump. In this program there is PRINT PREVIEW button. This print preview button is work in DV1 but not in DV2. DV1 & DV2 are ECC 6 and we installed SAP service pack.
I will really appreciate if somebody can give me some direction.
Thanks,
mini

Program is save in both the boxes. DV2 has SAP service pack, but DV1 not. I think this problem is related to FONTS not being supported by service pack.
How can I fix this?
Thanks,

Regarding Smart Form Printing, Print Preview issues

Hi,
I have couple of issues regarding Smart Form Printing, Print Preview.
In my program i am passing below parameters to smart form function module:
t_control-device = c_printer.
t_control-no_dialog = space.
t_control-preview = space.
t_control-no_dialog = c_x.
t_output-tddest = g_spld.
t_output-tdimmed = c_x. " Print Immediately
t_output-tddelete = space. " Don't Release spool after output
g_user_settings = c_x.
Issue#1: Though i have set preview paramter to space, after executing program it is prompting for Preview Screen, There again i have to give printer name though i am passing printer name as above and i need to hit on print preview button to set Layout output.
Here how can i go directly to layout output without preview screen.
Issue#2: In some cases we need to Print the layout set output after executing program immediately without prompting for preview screen and then Layout set output should also be shown after printing the output.
How can i solve these issues!
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Deep.

Hi,
In the SAP menu screen goto <b>System->User Profile->Own data</b>
There in the defaults tab, for the output device give the value you had maintained for <b>g_spld.</b> This will not prompt you a dialog screen, and if you want to print immediately select the checkbox as well. Then try to execute the smartform. Hope this solves ur issue.

SAP Vendor Master Communication Details for SMART FORM Printing.

Thanks in Advance.

Ravi

Hi Ravi,
I don't know about a function module, but the vendor master table LFA1 has a field ADRNR pointing to the general address table with the fields for e.g. language and to the tables ADR2 for phone numbers, ADR3 for fax numbers and ADR6 for e-mail addresses.

Communication Details Vendor Master SMART FORM Printing.

Hi
Could you please advice Functional module to extract SAP Vendor Master Communication Details for SMART FORM Printing.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Ravi

Hi,
class VMD_EI_API_EXTRACT with method GET_DATA could make it.
There are also some eSOA services that could make it fine. See services starting with Supplier*.
Otherwise, this is more complicated.

Hi,
Do you intend to say , that template cell size should vary depending on your data.
I doubt that is possible.
You should look for a workaround.
Why dont you be more specific in your exact requirment, so that an alternate soln can be found.

Smart form printing without dialog box

Hi,
Thanks to eveyone for reading this post.
I want to print a form thru smartform. I am able to do that now by calling that smart form and passing the data. Now i wanted to print multiple docs using smartform so that the dialog box printer doesnt apppear and all printing is executed without any user intervention.
I tried to call smart form in the following way so that data is printed to the printer without any thing appearing on the screen (dialog box).
I did consult the forums here and when i try it I either see the dialog box or see other sy-subrc.
Code -
Data: w_ctrlop TYPE ssfctrlop,
         w_compop TYPE ssfcompop.
W_COMPOP-tdnewid   = 'X'.
W_COMPOP-tdFINAL   = 'X'.

W_COMPOP-tddelete = 'X'.
W_COMPOP-tdcopies = 1 .

*W_COMPOP-tdnoprint = 'X'.
W_ctrlop-DEVICE    = 'PRINTER'.    " Here we dont give printer name 'KX-P3696'.
w_ctrlop-no_dialog = 'X'.
w_ctrlop-preview   = ''.
CALL FUNCTION '/1BCDWB/SF00000135'
*CALL FUNCTION v_form_name
EXPORTING
    control_parameters = w_ctrlop
    output_options      = w_compop

    OTHERS             = 5.
i would be glad if anyone can help me. I did a few RND in the code above to make it work but it dosent.
Moreover when the dialog box appears then there is a text in the bar below which says please maintain printer master data. (something like that). Is that creating a problem ?
Thanks,
JG

Smart forms print with EPSON LQ-2500

HI all,
    I have a problem that my EPSON printer can not print all the lines of the table in Smart-forms. And always the same lines can not be printed. If I output the form with PDF Printer first, then, I print the PDF file with my printer, it would be quite well. So I think there should be sth. wrong with my programe or settings in SPAD. Is there someone can help me to solve this problem? Many thanks!

Hi Anji and Ravi,
thank you for your reply; in Quality and PRD the character format "H" exists
and in effect the format of text type A is correct.
Also the angular brackets are correct <\>.
Regards.                                                 Paolo

can u plese tell wht exactly happening.. is the dialogue is displaying or smethig else. r u calling this from only once or many time base on any conditions check once..r u passing right values..
call this FM before calling samrtform because u will face problems in PRD and Quality.. if u r already then ignore this.
