PRINT-CONTROL SIZE / PRINT-CONTROL FUNTKION 'SIXXX'

[former_member1130815]

Hello all,

there is a normal ABAP report that writes with the WRITE command on a form (sheet of paper) .

Now I should make the font smaller on a special block of this form (an address field).

I think I can only use the command PRINT-CONTROL in this case. I tried it with PRINT-CONTROL SIZE xy and PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION 'SIXXX', but nothing happened.

In the ABAP docu they say that PRINT-CONTROL can only be used together with NEW-PAGE PRINT ON or SUBMIT TO SAP-SPOOL . But it didn't work at all.

A small example:

write: / 'Before print-control.'.

PRINT-CONTROL SIZE 2.

write: / 'After print-control size 2.'.

PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION 'SI008'.

write: / 'After print-control function SI008'.

Also I use NEW-PAGE PRINT ON nothing happens.

Please, what can I do?

After a long time searching in the internet I didn't found an adequate solution. Can you help me?

Anybody with an idea out there?

If you need different font sizes in the same spool request, I don't know of any solution other than SAPScript or Smartforms.

Ok, just a last question:

if i can't change the font size in ABAP, for what is there the PRINT-CONTROL SIZE and PRINT-CONTROL FUNCTION 'SIxxx' respectively?

Thanks for your answer!
