PDF Printing Issue (Converting to Spool and back to PDF)

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a document which has minimum of 25 pages. This document is designed using BSP. When i print this document in DEV this is printed without any issue, but when we print in QA this doesn't print and keeps going on and on and finally we get session time out.

And now we got some information that this issue occurs because of Memory Management. So now we have to convert the data first to spool and from the spool we have to convert the same to PDF and then try to print.

I have no idea about the spool. So could someone help me regarding this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Nikhil,

I have went through this FM's.

This is used to convert from spool to PDF. Before that i want to convert the data to Spool.

Try building your code with FM " CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

you will have to submit your program and then

Read spool from table tsp01.

refer to the SAP help demo code below.

DATA: number TYPE tbtcjob-jobcount,

name TYPE tbtcjob-jobname VALUE 'JOB_TEST',

print_parameters TYPE pri_params.

...

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'

EXPORTING

jobname = name

IMPORTING

jobcount = number

EXCEPTIONS

cant_create_job = 1

invalid_job_data = 2

jobname_missing = 3

OTHERS = 4.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

SUBMIT submitable TO SAP-SPOOL

SPOOL PARAMETERS print_parameters

WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO

VIA JOB name NUMBER number

AND RETURN.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'

EXPORTING

jobcount = number

jobname = name

strtimmed = 'X'

EXCEPTIONS

cant_start_immediate = 1

invalid_startdate = 2

jobname_missing = 3

job_close_failed = 4

job_nosteps = 5

job_notex = 6

lock_failed = 7

OTHERS = 8.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

...

ENDIF.

ENDIF.

ENDIF.
