Getting OTF DATA and TDFAXID filled at same time

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to fax my output form and I am using OPEN_FORM , write_form and CLOSE_FORM . To get the OTF Date, in the OPEN_FORM ,

I am passing the ITCPO in OPTIONS of OPEN_FORM and filling the ITCPO-TDGETOTF = 'X' and in the CLOSE_FORM , i can see the OTF date. But I am not seeing the TDFAXID getting filled in the result of OPEN_FORM.

But if I dont fill the ITCPo-TDGETOTF in OPEN_FORM, I can see the TDFAXID getting filled in close_form, but OTF data is empty .

My requirement is I need to fax my output and then a copy of the OTF data need to be converted to PDF and send that PDF to UNIX Directory.

So as you see, my problem is I can convert the OTF to PDF using convert_otf, but TDFAXID is zero ( since i am getting OTF), so I am not sure my fax is working or not . If I generate FAX then OTF data is empty and I have no data to convert into PDF .

So how can I achieve both OTF data and also TDFAXID getting filled , so that my output is faxed and I know the logic to convert OTF to PDF.

Thanks in Advance
