Print setting for Dictionary Objects

Hello ABAP-fans

Very simple questions:

question 1:

We are creating new objects in SE80.

For example: We have created new structures and would like to transfer the technical object details into Office documents. The reason for this documentation purposes.

For structures we get a popup "printer setting". You can select, SAPMININFO, SAPMEDINFO and SAPMAXINFO.

We would like to transfer the object-informations into pdf and/or also Office products as word, etc.

Is there a way to transfer these informations into office products?

question 2:

For new domains we intend to do the same. But we don't get the popup for the printer settings. Do you know the reason? Is there an object-related way to configure the printer setting?

Thanks for any assistance.

BEO

If you print this information in SAP, this will create a spool file.

Which can then be converted in pdf.

after printing goto transaction SP02, copy spool number from there and use program RSTXPDFT4 to download this spool on your local pc. There are other ways of doing this.

This printer setting is only available for Tables, Views, Search helps, Lock object and Match code. On the dialog box where it let you select these option. You can press button with 'pencil' icon to configure what values you want in each of these print parameters (SAPMININFO, SAPMEDINFO and SAPMAXINFO). Nevertheless you will get printout when you hit print button on domain. To be honest there isnu2019t much information to print for domain anyways.

Pawan.
