Without SPOOL Dynpro!

[Former Member]

Hi friends!

We are trying to submit a SAP Standard program in FOREGROUND mode that gives the output in form of SAP SCRIPT but we are unable to generate a spool from it.

Whenever a SUBMIT statement is triggered a BOX is popped up and spoils the show.

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

EXPORTING

no_dialog = 'X'

IMPORTING

valid = w_valid

out_parameters = e_params.

submit ZPROGRAM

to SAP-SPOOL without spool dynpro

spool parameters e_params

AND RETURN

USING SELECTION-SET '28951'.

Any thoughts, how do we generate a SPOOL number from this. As later we need to take this spool and convert into PDF.

Thanks.

Hi ,

see the sample code..

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
EXPORTING
no_dialog = 'X'
IMPORTING
valid = w_valid
out_parameters = e_params.

submit ZPROGRAM
TO SAP-SPOOL SPOOL PARAMETERS e_PARAMS
                  WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO
USING SELECTION-SET '28951'
AND RETURN.

 
 
* To fetch the spool number from TSP01 table
  SELECT rqident
         FROM tsp01
         INTO w_rqident
         UP TO 1 ROWS
         WHERE rq2name = e_params-plist.
  ENDSELECT.

* Function Module to Convert Spool to PDF file
  CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'
    EXPORTING
      src_spoolid     = w_rqident
      no_dialog       = 'X'
      dst_device      = 'LP01'
      pdf_destination = 'X'
    TABLES
      pdf             = t_pdf.


* Now t_pdf table contains the PDF data...
" now call the function module in backgrond task destination and push the PDF format dat to external system...

Prabhu, thanks.

Question is not to generate a PDF from SPOOL, but how to generate a SPOOL number.

If I SUBMIIT a program that gives OUTPUT as a SAP SCRIPT, SPOOL number is not getting generated by the above code provided earlier if I execute in foreground mode.

[former_member156446]

in fore ground u cannot get a spool number assigned..

Thanks for the reply.

Any ideas how to go for it as I need to generate a PDF from a SAPSCRIPT output program and that is possible from a SPOOL number.

Has any one encountered this type of issue?

Try this way

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
EXPORTING
no_dialog = 'X'
IMPORTING
valid = w_valid
out_parameters = e_params.

e_params-prnew = 'X'.    "<<-==

submit ZPROGRAM
to SAP-SPOOL without spool dynpro
spool parameters e_params
AND RETURN
USING SELECTION-SET '28951'.

By e_params-prnew = 'X' flag, the document is gettin printed but we wouldnt require that.

Any more thoughts?

Thank you.

Hey Anderson, Check this program . It works.

REPORT ztest_notepad.

CONCATENATE sy-uname sy-datum sy-uzeit  INTO lw_pripar-plist."Give spool name.should be unique

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

SUBMIT zprogram

Hello,

what happened? Have you got it solved?

Thanks

Many Thanks, Venkat.

We had tried earlier the steps provided but are unable to make it work coz the UNIQUE identifier for the SPOOL is not getting filled.

Because the SUBMIT PROGRAM is calling a SAP SCRIPT and this inturn is calling a GET_PARAMETER box.

Thanks much.

Hi,

If you check CLOSE_FORM parameters closely, you will get Spool number there itself.

Thanks

I cant import the CLOSE_FORM parameter to my Z program as it is a SAP STANDARD program.

Thanks.
