SAP Note 66478 - Use of PRINT-CONTROL in SAPscript

Component : SAPscript - Smart Forms

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/66478 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
The SAP Note discusses the use of the PRINT-CONTROL command in SAPscript for embedding printer-specific commands into the text and forms. It advises that these commands, which often relate to specific printer functions not supported by default SAPscript drivers, should be used with caution. The SAP standard forms do not use PRINT-CONTROL as it can lead to unpredictable results and complications during upgrades. Custom print controls should be created within the customer namespace and must not affect the current printer settings. Alterations to printer attributes should be made through form or style definitions rather than through PRINT-CONTROL to avoid interference with output. SAP does not support errors caused by PRINT-CONTROL misuse.

Key words :
texts/graphics issued subsequently, print data stream created, print output errors caused, include printer-specific commands, existing sapscript printer drivers, print-control xxxxx commands, print-control zprct=  commandin, modify sap device types, abap print-control command, send additional commands
