Smartform output in the background

Hello all,
Now I met a problem about smartform output in the background:
The default printer is LP01. When I execute the program which calls this smartform in background, I change the printer to LP03.
Then I use the t-code:SP02 and find the printer is LP01 not LP03.
(But if I use the hardcode 'LP03', the printer is changed to LP03)
What can i do change the printer to LP03?
---part of my code:
DATA: ls_pri_params         TYPE pri_params,
      ls_control_parameters TYPE ssfctrlop,
      lv_print              TYPE sypdest,
      lv_valid              TYPE bool,
      ls_output             TYPE ssfcompop,
      lv_repid              TYPE syrepid.
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
    EXPORTING
      mode                   = 'BATCH'
      report                 = lv_repid
    IMPORTING
      out_parameters         = ls_pri_params
      valid                  = lv_valid.
lv_print = ls_pri_params-pdest.
ls_output-tddest = lv_print.
ls_output-tddest = 'LP03'.
CALL FUNCTION '/1BCDWB/SF00000004'
    EXPORTING
      output_options     = ls_output
      user_settings      = space.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Nina,
You can use sy-batch. See the following codes:
IF SY-BATCH = 'X'. "means program is executed in the background.
ls_output-tddest = 'LP03'.
ELSE.
ls_output-tddest = lv_print.
ENDIF.

How to check the ALV output for the background job

Hi Guru,
We are having a cutomized report which will display the result like a ALV report.
We configured it as an background job, after the completion of the background job, it will send the result to the SPOOL, and we can use SP02 to check the output,
But it is not easy for user to directly check the result easily, is there an method we can save it as an spreadsheet and send the output to a specific location or mailbox and then user can check it easily
thanks,

In SM37 ,select the Job > Spool > Select Spool No > Display Contents > Here it will show you the Output of the Report.Now select Ctrl +Shift + F12 , it will ask you to save the Spread sheet in specified location.

Output after the background job finished successfully

Hi All,
We executed a Dunning job in the background (sm37) and the job finished succesfully. How to check whether the job has created an output ? Where to look for the output ?

You can check the spool request of your job via SM37 or SMX. Go to SM37 select your job and check the spool request.

Using analog output in the background

Hi,
I need to use the analog output channel on a NI PCIe-6351 to play an audio signal, and while the signal plays i need make some changes the UI dialog box, is it possible for me to move the playing of the audio to the background and proceed with program execution?
Here is a simple piece of code that explains what I'm trying to do:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<math.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<memory.h>

The program reads a 10 seconds long 1kHz sine wave signal from a WAV file and plays it over AO0.
I want the program to print "Playing Audio" on the console window while the audio is still playing, i.e when DAQmxWriteAnalogF64 is executing.
I'm using Visual Studio 2005 on Windows XP and an NI PCIe6351.
I'd really appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks a lot!
RaziM

Hi RaziM,
It sounds like you will need to implement some sort of multithreading to accomplish playing audio in the background and also making changes in the UI dialog box in the foreground. Since DAQmx is thread safe this should definitely be possible, but it will probably take a little more work on your part.
You may want to take a look at this page which gives a walkthrough to Multithreading with a Background component, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ywkkz4s1.aspx
Here is another forum post about how DAQmx runs multiple threads, http://forums.ni.com/t5/Measurement-Studio-for-VC/DAQmx-how-does-it-multithread/td-p/221953
I hope some of this helps!

Triggering smartform output from the report program

Hi,
I have developed a new report program.The selection screen of the report program is like this.
plant:    ________
warehouse: ___________
sheet #:      _________ to _________
bay/bin:      ___________ to __________
building:     ___________ to __________
counter sheet printer: __________
Auditor sheet printer:   _________
When the data for sheet#,bay,building, counter sheet printer is given,then the counter sheet smartform has to be output on the screen.
or
When the data for sheet#,bay,building, auditor sheet printer is given,then the auditor sheet smartform has to be output on the screen.
Is it pessible to trigger the smartform from the selection screen of the report.If so can anyone send me a sample code for that.

CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
    EXPORTING
      formname           = <smartform name>
    IMPORTING
      fm_name            = v_form_fm

      no_form            = 1
      no_function_module = 2
      OTHERS             = 3.

    TABLES
      s_job            = s_job         <--select option list

      send_error       = 3
      user_canceled    = 4
      OTHERS           = 5.
declare the paramters of your selection screen in the form interface section of the smartform.
If you have a parameter in teh selection screen then declare it in the smartform as:
P_matnr     TYPE     matnr (in form interface -
                                                 >import)
If you have a select option then
S_LEVEL     LIKE <dictionary structure like a range>
this u declare it in the tables section of the form interface. For the select option , the dictionary sructures should be like a range (see RNGE_OBJID as an example). If you dont have a dictionary structure
then u need to declare it in the dictionary.

Not generating a spool output in the background job

Hi Team,
I have an alv report and If I schedule the program using SM36 transaction it is not generating the spool ouput.
If I run the same program in background mode when we use se38 and select execute in background in program menu and it works successfully and generates alv grid list in the spool output.
But, user wants to schedule the job in sm36 and check the same output in spool. Please advise why it is not generating.
Note:I am using the cl_salv_table=>factory method to generate the output.
Thanks in advance,
Sunil Kumar.

This is not really an ABAP question and you might want to ask your Basis admin for assistance. But I believe that spool will not be generated if you don't specify print parameters for a step. When you define the step in SM36, make sure to specify the print parameters.

How to send a SmartForm output as Email to external id?

I want the Smartform output to email to extrenal email-id.
I don't want the Smartform output as any kind of attachment, but the Smartform output needs to be shown on the main email body. Can anyone pls. help me out?

First, thanks for your responses.
I haven't found the demo program 'BCS_EXAMPLE_6' in SAP 4.7. But then I got it in SAP 5.0 version. But this program only describes how to send Form output as PDF attachment with email. But this is well-known and I haven't asked for this. I want the Smartform output within the mail-body without attachment.
The weblog at "/people/pavan.bayyapu/blog/2005/08/30/sending-html-email-from-sap-crmerp seems a more logical one, though I have already tried it out. Here the html page creation and graphics load -- everything is going right. But this HTML page is being delivered as an Attachment within the email. The normal HTML Email is not coming. I think this technique wouldn't work with all mailing tools. Here in the weblog, Pavan has shown the example with Microsoft Outlook. But I have tested with Lotus Notes and Yahoo. And In both cases, the mail is coming with attached HTML file (in .mht format), but not as a notmal html mail without attachments.

How to get the output of a background report to be shown on the screen

When we run the background process it goes to spool request. my requirement is to show it on the screen may be after some time to the user. how can we do that. Thanks in advance

Hello Varun,
You cqan submit the report as a JOB and export the out put to memory, once the job is complete you can read the list to display the output.
Cheers,
Mano
Cut & Paste form SAP help.
Submit report ....
EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY
Does not display the output list of the called report, but saves it in ABAP memory and leaves the called report immediately. Since the calling program can read the list from memory and process it further, you need to use the addition ... AND RETURN . Also, since the called report cannot be requested for printing, the addition ... TO SAP-SPOOL is not allowed here. In addition, you must not assign a function code to the ENTER key in the current GUI status. The saved list is read from the SAP memory using the function module 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY' and can then be saved to the database using EXPORT, for example. You can process this list further with the function modules 'WRITE_LIST', 'DISPLAY_LIST' ... of the function group "SLST".

Page breaks appear in the spool output of report when run in the background

Hi All,
Report is using fm 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' to display the report. parameters passed to this fm for display are :it_fieldcat,is_layout,it_events,t_outtab.
Page breaks appear in the spool output when report is run in the background.These page breaks needs to be removed. When executed in the background, the excel extract should be the same as if pulling directly from the report itself.
How to remove the page breaks in background?
Thanks & Regards,
Abhishek Singh

Hi
You can use the below code , which the reprt run in background. If you run the report in background thenyou need to use 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'
if sy-batch = ' '.
call 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'.
else.
call 'REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY'.
endif.
if you are using OO alv then write this code..
CALL METHOD cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline
RECEIVING e_offline = off.
IF off IS INITIAL.
CREATE OBJECT g_custom_container
EXPORTING container_name = g_container.

How do I - change the background colour of the output HTML page

Captivate 5
I am publishing my project to html, but wish to change the background colour of the html page to match the projects colour scheme.
I can find no option in Captivate to do this, and it is always output as white = <body bgcolor="#f5f4f1">
I change the colours used within captivate and change the html colour of the borders, or the captivate project background, but this does not effect the html page when published.
Is this possible?
At present I am having to manual amend the html to the colour of my choice.

Hi there
Can you post a screen grab of what you are seeing? The instructions Orange_Sean provided should have done the trick for you. Even though you aren't using Borders, it still should have changed the HTML background color. Unless we have unearthed a bug or something.
Cheers... Rick

Problem in displaying data in the smartform output.

Dear Freinds,
I have a requirement as per my requirement i have to display the employee dependents details in the smartform output.
I have taken a table in smartform and collected all teh employee dependents details . Each dependents his own details around 8 fields. so iam displaying in the smartform it is working till now no problem ........iam getting data as below
Dependentrelation | dependentname|passportno|expirydate|visano|visadate|visa expire date| ResidenceNo|Residence issuedate|
spouse | Raja |123456 |10/09/2009|122233|10/01/2009|10/01/2010 | 1001 |10/01/2009
These are the one of the dependentds details iam having till now , like this i have another dependts details. Now the problem i have
to add some fields to this list ( to this internal table) ...........if iam adding one more feild data is getting truncated as i dont have any more fields to add to right in the horizontal line........how can i solve this issue and how can i add further fields to this list
like date of birth of the dependents and gender
please could any one tell how i can solve this issue.
regards
divya.

If this is a Tablethen only thing you can do is re-size the grid and font size to adjust your data. Like, displaying HEADINGS & DATAs in 2 rows instead of 1, etc.
Nothing else can be done. Otherwise you have to trim down the data to adjust in one page.

Text and table structure getting jumbled up in the smartform output

Hi all ,
While viewing the print preview of a smartform output , i am facing a strange issue.
The hardcoded text is getting jumbled up .For eg:"As soon as possible" becomes " as possible . soon as"
The structure of the table is also getting reversed.That is the table is now getting displayed with the last couloum first.The data in the table is also coming in the reverse order.
While executing the smartform directly , the layout is coming in the proper order.But while executing this through a transaction (FINT) , this issue is coming up.The print program is a standard program.
I have tried deleting the window , copying it to a new smartform etc.I have also tried in different systems to check whether if it is an issue with the system.
If anyone has faced a similar issue , please let me know how to solve it.Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Rashmi

Hi
Please check the Printout rather the print Preview. and also check the Structure/table entries also that u printing and also if u r using template, then check the assignment 1 of 1 , etc to the texts.
