Problem in downloading PDF to local drive.

[Former Member]

Hi all Gurus!

I have a rquirement like this.

I have created a Smart form for PO with driver program. It works fine. But one of my requirement is when ever I configure an output in Messages and save it an output should be trigerred at the same time and a copy of the output should get saved in the local drive in PDF format.

To make this I have written a logic in driver program after call function 'lf_fm_name'. In this logic I have derived the spool request of the output generated and using function module 'CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' converted sppol to pdf.

Then using GUI_DOWNLOAD I downloaded this PDF format to local drive. But when i configure output and save it iam getting an error as 'Error in Control Frame work' .

Part of code for downloading PDF is as follows.

lt_spoolid = lw_job_output_info-spoolids.

read table lt_spoolid into lw_spoolid index 1.

*Transfer the 132-long strings to 255-long strings

APPEND wa_mess TO i_mess.

When I do printing in fore ground I am getting this error message as 'Error in control frame work'. But in Background it works perfectly.

Hi all,

It is not possible to download form to local driver in background(send Immedietly). The only way is to either download to application server or process in fore ground(Send by periodic job).

Thanks & Regards
