Initializing and Closing Print Transactions 

Use

In mass printing, SAP recommends that you initialize and complete the print process both before and after the operational calls of the modules EFG_PRINT or EFG_PRINT_EXPANDED. The module EFG_PRINT_INIT initializes the print process and makes sure that the application form used and transferred are activated if necessary. If errors occur, the incorrect application forms are reported to the calling application as not capable of being activated. The module EFG_PRINT_CLOSE postprocesses the output requests that have expired during the print process (usually outputs them) and initializes the internal data buffer in the Print Workbench.
