" Read Default Print Action into Variable
  DATA(default_print_action) = dox42_template->get_print_action( ).
" Modify Default Action 
  default_print_action-print_action_printer_name = 'OFFICE'. 
" Set Print Action for Document Creation
 TRY.     
    dox42_template->set_print_action( i_print_action = default_print_action ).
