Use the FM:

CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF

hi,

Plz try like this.

Lets suppose internal table itab has 3 fields.

Create a SAP Script with only MAIN window.

In it, just code

P1 itab-f1,,itab-f2,,itab-f3

Now, in your report program,

perform open_form.

loop at itab.

perform write_form.

endloop.

perform close_form.

In FM Close_form, you have a parameter to get the otf table. you send this otf table to fm CONVERT_OTF_PDF.

Now, you can get the pdf file.

Sailaja.

Alternatively, YOu can export the internal table to memory id.

Submit a zreport in background mode.

IN the zreport import the itab and display the itab.

It creates a spool.

Get the spool number and use the FM:

CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF

Hi Ravi,

The function module you had specified will convert OTF format to PDF. I having only the internal table, i need to convert to PDF format. If i need to use the OFT to PDF function module, First i need to convert the internal table to OTF how??

Thanks & Regards,

hi,

You can not convert to otf directly.

When you use function module close_form, then you will be having a parameters which gets populated with otf data.

this is the only way how you can get otf table populated.

TRY THIS GUYS...

• with OTF data returned from SMARTFORM

• convert the Smartform OTF to PDF

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'

EXPORTING

format = 'PDF'

IMPORTING

bin_filesize = lv_bin_size

bin_file = lv_bin_file

TABLES

otf = ls_output_info-otfdata.

data: ls_text type solisti1.

data: l_rest type i.

data: l_offset type i.

data: l_string type string.

data: converter type ref to cl_abap_conv_in_ce.

converter = cl_abap_conv_in_ce=>create( input = bin_file ).

converter->read( importing data = l_string ).

l_offset = 0.

l_rest = bin_size.

while l_rest > 255.

ls_text-line = l_string+l_offset(255).

append ls_text to et_att_text.

l_offset = l_offset + 255.

endwhile.

if l_rest > 0.

ls_text = l_string+l_offset(l_rest).

append ls_text to et_att_text.

endif.

Convert SAP documents (SAPScript) to other types.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
EXPORTING
FORMAT                = 'PDF'
IMPORTING    
BIN_FILESIZE          = FILE_LEN
TABLES_OTF            = OTFDATA
LINES                 = PDFDATA
EXCEPTIONS   
ERR_MAX_LINEWIDTH     = 1                   
ERR_FORMAT            = 2
ERR_CONV_NOT_POSSIBLE = 3
OTHERS                = 4.

Then you can use funtion module to download.

gui_download
ws_download
download

Hi,

Try this code

• Subroutine to get the print parameters
• WAIT UP TO 1 SECONDS.
• To fetch the spool number from TSP01 table

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS' EXPORTING destination = 'LP01' list_name = 'TEST' list_text = 'SUBMIT ... TO SAP-SPOOL' immediately = ' ' line_size = '1023' no_dialog = 'X' IMPORTING out_parameters = wa_pri_params valid = w_valid. IF w_valid EQ 'X'. CONCATENATE 'E' w_tabix sy-datum+4(4) sy-uzeit INTO wa_pri_params-plist. ENDIF. NEW-PAGE PRINT ON NO DIALOG PARAMETERS wa_pri_params. WRITE : / text-s32. ULINE. LOOP AT t_error INTO wa_error. WRITE : / wa_error-text. ENDLOOP. WRITE : / text-s33. NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF. SELECT rqident FROM tsp01 INTO w_rqident UP TO 1 ROWS WHERE rq2name = wa_pri_params-plist. ENDSELECT. CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' EXPORTING src_spoolid = w_rqident no_dialog = 'X' dst_device = 'LP01' pdf_destination = 'X' TABLES pdf = t_pdf.
