SPOOL FOR SMARTFORMS

Hi all,
I m getting 2 spool requests for a smartform instead of 1. I hav developed my smartform in user exit of Standard program.In spool it is generating one for my smartform and another for std one.
Please let me know what should i do so that only single spool comes.
Regards
Taranam

The standard program issues a Smartform too?
Try to force the non-generation for the spool order that you don't want.
I supouse that you don't want the spool order generating by the std program. So, if this spool order comes after yours, try to force the parameters for the std funcion call...
SSFCTRLOP-NO_OPEN = 'X'
SSFCTRLOP-NO_CLOSE
SSFCOMPOP-TDNEWID = ' '
Hope this will help you.
Regards,
Andrés Sarcevic.

Single spool for multiple smartforms

Hi,
I am using Function modules SSF_open and ssf_close for creating single spool for multiple smartforms but when i try to run the program in background then the job is getting cancelled...........and if i run the program in foreground then the program is running fine giving single spool for multiple forms........
so the problem is that job should run in background if i run it in background instead job is getting cancelled.
please tell me the solution how can i get the single spool for and multiple smartforms as well as the job should run if i am doing so.

SPOOL REQUEST FOR SMARTFORM

HI experts,
how to create the spool request for smartform. can anyone help me. give me the complete procedure.
thanks in advance for ur responce.

The user which send the smartform to the spool (probably wf-batch) needs an output device. You can maintain this in SU01.
Just look at sample code:
1.Send Smart Form output to spool using the FM <ws_formname> (FM name derived from the export parameters of SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME).

Get Spool number for Smartform

Hi All,
I have created a smartform to print the POs created through ME21n. I have changed the config to use this smartform when a PO is changed/created. Everything is working fine. All I need is the spool number for each of the PO this is being printed. Can you please let me know how I can achieve this through the FM for smartform?
I AM USING 4.6C.
This is how I am using the function module

All your inputs are greatly appreciated.

Hi,
JOB_OUTPUT_OPTIONS is of type SSFCRESOP, which does not have a SPOOLIDS field/table.
I knwo that the function module SSF_CLOSE returns the spool id in a table. But, I am not sure how to use SSF_OPEN and SSF_CLOSE. Can you please throw some light on how I can use these to get the spool numbers?
This is what I have right now.

how to Convert spool which is for smartform output to PDF?
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' is not working for smartform output,

than whats the function module or way to convert spool contain smartform output to pdg?
regards,

<b>Procedure</b>
     When we activate the Smartform the system generates a Function Module. The function module name we can get from Smartfrom screen from menubar
Environment => Function Module_Name . In a report we can get this Function module name by calling a Function Module standard SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME. This function module at runtime calls the FM generated by smartform, which in turn is then used to pass data from the report to Smartform. In the report given below the FM generated is /1BCDWB/SF00000152 . In this FM we can see CONTROL_PARAMETERS in import tab. This is of type SSFCTRLOP. We need to set the GETOTF of this to be X. Setting this field will activate the OTF field in smartform.
In export tab of the FM generated by smartform we can see a parameter JOB_OUTPUT_INFO which is of type SSFCRESCL. The SSFCRESCL is a structure of having one of fields as OTFDATA. OTFDATA in turn is a table of type ITCOO. ITCOO has two fields TDPRINTCOM and TDPRINTPAR. TDPRINTCOM represents command line of OTF format data and TDPRINTPAR contains command parameters of OTF format data.
In every Smartform output in OTF format, TDPRINTCOM begins and ends with //. EP represents the end-of-page value for TDPRINTCOM field.
In addition we need to set few fields at the place where we call this FM(generated by smartform) in our program. While calling this FM we should set control_parameters, output_options, user_settings and job_putput_info fields as shown in program.
Once these settings are done we can call Function Module CONVERT_OTF to convert the OTF data of smartfrom output to PDF data format. Once these are done we can call method cl_gui_fronted_services=>file_save_dialog to specify the directory path where we want to save the output PDF file. After this we can call Function Module GUI_DOWNLOAD to download the PDF file on our local system.

Create coustom page size for Smartforms

Dear All
How to create coustom page size for smartforms.
rgds
pramod

HI
To define a new page format, choose
Administration -> CCMS -> Print->® Spool Administration.
Choose Full Administration and then Page Formats on the Device Types tab page. On the next screen choose Change and Create or Create with Reference. Fill out the fields on the next screen.
Activating a New Page Format
Before using a new page format, you must specify it as a page format in a SAPscript form. Be careful when replacing a page format in a standard SAPscript form as the form may not necessarily fit on the new page format.
You also have to define a format and device type format for the new page format before you can use it.
Thanks and Regards

Creating Spool from Smartform??

Hi
Can anybody tell how to get the spool from smartform?
Thanks in Advance
Davinder Singh

Hi Davinder,
After the execution of smartform function module the import parameter JOB_OUTPUT_INFO is populated with data. This is of type SSFCRESCL.
The component SPOOLIDS of JOB_OUTPUT_INFO contains list of spool id generated for smartform..
This spool id can be used to read spool request generated using any standard func module like RSPO_RETURN_ABAP_SPOOLJOB.
Hope this helps you....
Enjoy SAP.

Hi,
Are you calling the smartforma functiona module, separately for each customer? I mean is it inside the loop...endloop.
check the control_parameters, output_options, and other mail related parameters being passed for each customer.

Single Spool for multiple smart forms

Hi,
I am doing Cheque Printing My multiple smart form in single spool
I Created Single spool for multiple smartforms and i can able to see all the smart forms in single spool

Regards
Azeez
Edited by: Rasheed salman on Feb 3, 2010 7:41 AM

Hi,
You can call Open Spool and Close Spool function modules. Between these two fm you can call your smartforms. Just have a look the procedure below.
Call function OPEN_SPOOL.
             Call function SM1
             Call function SM2
             Call function SM3
Call function CLOSE_SPOOL.
Hope this will resolve your issue.
Thanks,

Generate different spool for diff billing docs generated using VF04

Hi guys,
want to generate different spool for diff billing docs generated using VF04, when doing mass billing.
Pls reply guys...
Thanks & Regards,
Sachin

Are u using smartforms.
u when u loop at invoices and calling the smartform FM, u can make this parameter of output options as space. ls_control_param-no_close = ' '.
this will close spool and create a new one when fm is again called.

How to spool for a file inside a procedure

Hi,
I have a Procedure. Now that procedure writes some values into a file in /tmp directory (in Unix). Now there is a server program that reads this file does some manipulations and writest the output to a particular fiel(this file not the same as input file) in the same directory. My PL/SQL code or procedure has to keep looking for this file (output file generated by server program). How can I spool for a file in PL/SQL? Is it possible? Could you please put some light on this as of how to do it?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I didnt get any exact way of spooling for the file. I tried to do this program for reading lines from a file using GET_LINE
create or replace procedure film as
log varchar2(300);
logfile UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
begin
log := 'check_log';
logfile := utl_file.fopen('/tmp','check_log','R');
utl_file.get_line(logfile,log);
utl_file.fclose(logfile);
end;
show errors;
It gives me this error.BEGIN film; END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception

Could you please tell me where I am going wrong.
Thanks in advance

New-page for smartform

Hello all,
I am facing a problem using smartforms. I am printing a report where there is a loop running for a list of plants. For printing the information of each plant, I need to use a new page. Information of one plant may take several pages but for every new plant, I need to insert a page break.
I am using a COMMAND with a checked next page option in my EVENT ON SORT BEGIN for the plant code.
This does the trick, but if I use the command at the bottom, it inserts a blank page at the end of the report. If I use the command at the top of the event, it first shows a blank page and then the data from the 2nd page.
Please sugest how can I fix this.
Anmol

Hi Friend,
        You can use following tips for generating smartforms for every new plant.I have generated sales order report using this steps.You can refer it.Tips are given below:
1.Define the structure,workarea and internal table for sales order header and details and also define
select-options for sales order.
2.Also define the one STRUCTURE which has type as ssfctrlop.
e.g. control type ssfctrlop.
     This variable we have to define because we are going to use this in
SSF_OPEN function.This is used to avoid print preview while openning smartform
for every sales order.
3. Select data from vbak for sales header.
4. Call function SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME.
e.g.*CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
    EXPORTING
      formname                 = w_formname
VARIANT                  = ' '
DIRECT_CALL              = ' '
   IMPORTING
     fm_name                  = w_functionname
   EXCEPTIONS
     no_form                  = 1
     no_function_module       = 2
     OTHERS                   = 3
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
        WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
5.Now here define the various features or field in control structure.
This is controls for smartform.
e.g. control-no_dialog = 'X'.
     control-preview   = 'X'.
     control-no_open   = 'X'.
     control-no_close = 'X'.
6. Call function SSF_OPEN.
     Here you have to pass the control structure which you have define in declaration.
e.g.
CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_OPEN'
    EXPORTING
ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS       =
USER_SETTINGS            = 'X'
MAIL_SENDER              =
MAIL_RECIPIENT           =
MAIL_APPL_OBJ            =
OUTPUT_OPTIONS           =
      control_parameters       = control
IMPORTING
JOB_OUTPUT_OPTIONS       =
   EXCEPTIONS
     formatting_error         = 1
     internal_error           = 2
     send_error               = 3
     user_canceled            = 4
     OTHERS                   = 5
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
        WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
7. Take loop at header internal table .
8. Select data from vbak for sales details. Also select data from respective tables
like makt,kna1 here.
9.Then call function module which generated after executing smartform. And also pass the control structure
in import parameter in this function module.
e.g. CALL FUNCTION '/1BCDWB/SF00000397'
    EXPORTING
ARCHIVE_INDEX              =
ARCHIVE_INDEX_TAB          =
ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS         =
    control_parameters         = control
MAIL_APPL_OBJ              =
MAIL_RECIPIENT             =
MAIL_SENDER                =
OUTPUT_OPTIONS             =
USER_SETTINGS              = 'X'
      wa_vbak                    = wa_vbak
IMPORTING
DOCUMENT_OUTPUT_INFO       =
JOB_OUTPUT_INFO            =
JOB_OUTPUT_OPTIONS         =
    TABLES
      it_vbak                    = it_vbak
      it_vbap                    = it_vbap
EXCEPTIONS
FORMATTING_ERROR           = 1
INTERNAL_ERROR             = 2
SEND_ERROR                 = 3
USER_CANCELED              = 4
OTHERS                     = 5
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
        WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
10.After endloop call function SSF_CLOSE.
     If it will help you reward me points.

Santosh.

Create spool for background jobs which uses submit statement

Hi Gurus,
             I have a quick question regarding the backgroud jobs. When we run a program in the background , it should create a spool for us, but, the problem comes when I am running a program in the background, its not creating the spool. This program uses SUBMIT statement. This program collects the data and it will submit to the other program and then retuen. In this case, its not creating a spool. Its very important for us to look at the spool for this program. Does anybody cam across this kind of problem? I need ur inputs.
Thanks in advance, <REMOVED BY MODERATOR>

Srinivas.
