How to print without the showing the dialog window

[former_member254358]

Hi,

I'd like to print directly to whatever printer installed in my computer (for example to pdfcreator).

These are the settings I'm using:

      output_options-tdsenddate = '00000000'.

      output_options-tdsendtime = '000000'.

      output_options-tdarmod = '1'.

      output_options-tddataset = 'SMART'.

      output_options-tdsuffix1 = ''.

      output_options-tdsuffix2 = sy-uname.

      output_options-tdcovtitle = ''.

      output_options-tddest = 'LOCAL'.

      output_options-tdnoprint = 'X'.

      output_options-tdprinter = 'SWINCF'.

      output_options-rqposname  = 'PDFCreator'.

control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.

      output_options-tdnewid = 'X'.

      output_options-tdimmed  = 'X'.

      output_options-tddelete = 'X'.

      output_options-tdgroup  = 'X'.

      output_options-tdlifetime = 20.

      output_options-tdfinal = 'X'.

     CALL FUNCTION fm_name

      EXPORTING

       control_parameters         = control_parameters

       output_options             = output_options

...........

however the dialog window is showed

Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Use LOCL instead of LOCAL.

Hi David,

Tddest is wrong.

Have a look at transaction SPAD and see what the 4character name of your printer LOCAL is, pass it to the parameter and everything should be fine.

Krishna already bolded the no_dialog variable is also important, but the fallback does show the dialog if something other (most of the times the destination) does not exist or in other words something is wrong.
