Return Parameters of the Print Output

TDPAGESLCT: SAPscript: select print pages

The field contains the pages to be printed. The value either comes from user entries on the print selection screen or from the corresponding field passed in the OPTIONS parameter.

TDNOPREV: SAPscript: print view

Describes whether the user was able to call the print view from the print selection screen.

Possible values:

TDPREVIEW: SAPscript: display print view

The print program uses this field to determine whether the user actually called the print view from the print selection screen.

Possible values:

TDNOPRINT: SAPscript: disable print function from print view

Describes whether the user was able to print the SAPscript text from within the print view.

Possible values:

TDTITLE: SAPscript: title on print selection screen

The field contains the text, which was displayed in the title line of the print selection screen.

TDPROGRAM: SAPscript: program name for replacing symbols

The field returns the name of the program that was specified in the corresponding field of the OPTIONS parameter when calling the print function. This program is the default value for work areas from which the system replaced the program symbols with the current values.

TDTEST: SAPscript: test printout

Indicates whether the user used the print function in test mode.

Possible values:

TDIEXIT: SAPscript: return after printing

The field indicates whether after printing from within the print view, the system immediately returned to the application program.

Possible values:

TDGETOTF: SAPscript: return the OTF table. no print output

The field indicates whether the SAPscript formatting program passed the print output (OTF) to the print view or spool or whether it returned the output to the calling program using table OTFDATA.

Possible values:

TDSCRNPOS: SAPscript: display position for OTF on the screen

The field returns the display position on the screen, which was specified in the call in the corresponding field of the OPTIONS parameter.

TDAPPL: SAPscript: interface of the print view

This field returns the abbreviation of the menu interface which was used for the print preview. The abbreviation corresponds to the editor interface which is selectable for an application object of the word processing in table TTXOB. The contents corresponds to the value passed in the parameter APPLICATION when calling the function modules OPEN_FORM or PRINT_TEXT.

TDOTFCALL: SAPscript: name of driver function module

The field contains the name of the ABAP function module which was used as driver for the conversion of the OTF format in the device-specific control sequences. This field is filled only if in table TSP09 an entry for the current output device specifies that the system shall use an ABAP function module as driver.

TDOTFTYPE: SAPscript: driver type for OTF output

This field defines the type of the OTF driver used for printing a SAPscript document. SAPscript generates the OTF format (Output Text Format) as output format after formatting a text. This format is independent of the output device and must therefore be converted before outputting the text on a certain device (screen, printer type). During this conversion, the system, that is, the SAPscript drivers, replace the OTF commands with device-specific control sequences. The SAPscript drivers peform this task. The names of the drivers are maintained in table TSP09. Via table TSP0A a driver is assigned to every device type (including printers, screens, fax machines etc.), which formats SAPscript texts for this device.

At present the following OTF drivers exist:

• STN2 for normal line printers

• PRES for Kyocera PRESCRIBE printers.

• POST for Post Script printers

• HPL2 for HP LaserJet II printers.

TDPAGES: SAPscript: number of printed pages

This field specifies the number of physical pages which were generated for a screen display or for the print output. The required copies are also included, although these are only generated by the SAP spool and cannot be seen in the print preview. If a cover sheet is demanded, it is not counted in TDPAGES.

TDFORMS: SAPscript: number of used forms

The content of this field shows how many layout sets were started during the SAPscript output formatting. If you called the function module PRINT_TEXT for printing, this field always contains 1. If you used explicit form control, the system counts all forms called using the function module START_FORM within a OPEN_FORM / CLOSE_FORM chain.

TDWARNINGS: SAPscript: warnings during formatting

The field contains the number of warnings which occurred during the print editing. In SAPscript warnings do not lead to the print editing being terminated. According to the type of warniing, the cause is ignored or default values are used.

Examples of possible warnings:

• paragraph format not defined

• character format not defined

• the end character sequence </> was processed without an active character format

• a character format in the current line was not closed with the end character sequence </>

• a text to be included with INCLUDE was not found

• a character to be output is not defined in the current print font

• an invalid text command was called up

TDDEVICE: SAPscript: type of output device

The field returns the type of the output device used. Its contents corresponds to the value of the parameters DEVICE, which you can specify when calling the function modules PRINT_TEXT and OPEN_FORM.

Possible values:

TDSCREEN: SAPscript: type of screen display

Returns the type of screen display. The value 'SCREEN' is returned only if in DEVICE, formatting for screen output is specified. All other values refer to the value 'PRINTER' of the field DEVICE and appear only if the user selected the print view as screen display.

Possible values:

TDSCDRIVER: SAPscript: type of screen driver

Returns the type of the driver used to create the screen display of the print view.
