Hi,

I want to know the use of DIALOG parameter in OPEN_FORM ?

Is it used for print preview whenever we try to print form from some transaction.

CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'

EXPORTING

DEVICE = 'PRINTER'

  • DIALOG = 'X'

  • FORM = 'ZTDPEP'

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 12.

And one thing what if I cahnge thew number for others parameter say from 12 to any other? I know that the others parameter under exception tab ? Can someone focus some more light on it ?

Regards,

Tushar.

Yes, you can change the OTHERS exception to what ever you want. The value will set sy-subrc to your value.
