Print programs are exactly what they sound like. These are the programs that are used to print the Sapscript form or the SmartForm Form. They are commonly referred to as print programs or print driver programs.

They are responsible for get the data and executing the OPEN_FORM, WRITE_FORM, CLOSE_FORM function modules for print the sapscript. Simularly for smartforms, it is in charge of getting the data and calling the smartform function module.

Hi,

A print program is an application program ( REPORT or MODULE POOL ) that allows you to print documents to which forms are allocated. The print program retrieves the required data from the database and combines them with the data the user entered. Then, it processes the underlying form, formats the data accordingly, and prints it.
