Hello experts,
We are currently facing a problem here. We just transported our sapscript tp PRD yesterday and today the users complained that the printout is always printed twice. But on our testing in DEV and QAS that isn't the case. Can you please give me possible causes of this problems and suggestions. Help would be greatlt appreciated.
Again, thanks a lot guys and have a nice day!

Check the output condition record which is generating the output, it might have been set to issue 2 outputs (number of copies). Output condition records are not transportable and can be maintained directly in production, that gives more reason to belive that things might work different across landscape.
If you cannot figure out where to look for and exhaused all your options, debug the print program and check what is getting pass to FM OPEN_FORM call in "Number of copies".
Thanks,

Hi Shashi,
Thanks for the helpful reply. But where do we check the output condition record? Also, what do you mean by
getting pass to FM OPEN_FORM call in "Number of copies"? Again, thank you and take care!

Which Output type are you processing, and what is the transaction?
06-27-2006 3:50 AM
Hi Shashi,
We are using transaction MB90 and the output type is WA03. Thanks again!

Check what is the value in NAST-ANZAL for you output which printed 2 outputs. If that is 2 then your output condition is set to issue mutiple outputs.

Hi again,
Sorry for many questions but we are currently on the desperate mode here. Where do we check NAST-ANZAL? Again, thanks for your helpful replies!

NAST is a table which has the output record which is used to generate output.
Use Transaction NACR to look at the condition records for WA03. Go to "Communications" tab on the top of codition records screen to check for number of outputs.
Thanks,

Hi guys,
I need more suggestions as to why our sapscript form gets printed twice.
Again, thank you and have a nice day!

Hi guys,
Run the script in debug mode and check for the printing conditions for the script, may be there 2 times calling perform and check for NAST-ANZAL field before geting output to the printer the value should be 1.

I have a similiar issue.
We have SAP Quality Inspection Instructions and we have a custom Inspection report that both get printed to a printer we'll call X. I debugged these entire programs and I see that the copies = 1. But each time the user goes to the printer there are 2 there. I check the spool and it says 1 page and 1 copy. Any ideas where it would be getting the idea to do another copy from outside of the SAP spooler? Also on 4.0B.
Thanks,
Larry
