When mass printing , the print button has to be hit for each job

[Former Member]

Hi,

When mass printing through COHV transaction the dialog box to enter the printer name is triggered for each job/order.

How can we overcome this?

hi,

you can create a CATT / BDC program to do this repetitive task. you can find may forums/blog on SDN on how to use BDC to do this.

I thought there must be some setting to do this. I dont think a BDC is required. Are there any other alternatives?

hi ,

use the FM GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS . you can hide the print button from this FM.

i can change the print parameters in the print program itself in that case right?

i just want to know which all parameters to set to prevent the dialogbox from appearing each time.

no-dialog = 'X'.

thanks Ram. I guessed so.

So when i loop through jobs i have to see if its the first job if not i should suppress the dialog. But which parameter gives the total number of jobs ?

Hi,

you can take variable with COUNT.

you can use the this count in job loop like count = count + 1.

later you will come know number of job run through this count variable.

The problem is that its looping through the records one by one. and the Line count is always one. So im not able to bring all the jobs into one spool. Should some setting be done to achieve this?

Hi,

When the print program is triggered its triggered for each record separately and not the entire set as a whole. How do i overcome this?
