Functionality
The function module SET_PRINT_PARAMETERS sets the printparameters for the following print functions (seePrinting in ABAP/4):
Starting a a report with Execute + print. In this case, you mustcall the function module before the print parameter screen, i.e. duringone of the events INITIALIZATION or AT SELECTION-SCREEN.
Printing an online list. In this case, you must call thefunction module some time before the end of the program.
You can specify the default parameters together (via the structuresIN_PARAMETERS or IN_ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS) or individually (with theparameters DESTINATION, LIST_NAME etc.).
The print parameters LINE_SIZE and LINE_COUNT require thefollowing special handling:
With the function to print an online list, the LINE_SIZEparameter has no effect because the line width has already been setbefore printing and cannot be changed.
If you specify a value for LINE-SIZE in theREPORT or PROGRAMstatement, the LINE_SIZE parameter is ignored.
If you specify a value for LINE-COUNT in the REPORT orPROGRAM statement, the LINE_COUNT parameter is ignored.
