Error in viewing smartform after downloading it to unix

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I have a requirement to download the smartform to unix server.

As per the requirement i am converting smartform to pdf and saving the file to unix server.

its working fine when we are downloading it to local desktop.

but when the user is opening the file in unix they are getting decoding error.

step 1: conversion to pdf.

step 2: by using open dataset we are writing that file in to unix.

Please let me know if any solution is there.

Regards,

Prathima.

Hi,

The variables are the file name and the path of the unix server.

currently i am not getting the OTF data properly so i guess the error is coming.

Please let me know if any workaround is there .. it was working fine earlier.

hi,

I think the problem is in the way u r concatenating the filename.

insert a breakpoint at the point and the check the value of path generated at runtime.

w_path_unix_ch. <----this value.

See if the ".pdf" is getting concatenated properly in the path.

Hi Karthik,

path is correct only.. i have checked it in debugging mode..

earlier it was working fine , when i developed it and demonstrated to client.

Now the OTF data itself is getting corrupted and the data is showing as all # characters and all.

Please suggest if any solution is there.

Dear All,

Please suggest me the correct mode so that my issue will be solved.

Thanking you.

Hi

Check the open dataset when your writing to the unix server.

Refer this sample code:

[ABAP progrm to unix command|http://saplab.blogspot.com/2007/10/sample-abap-program-to-execute-unix.html]
