Convert abapspool list into OTF

[Former Member]

Hi gurus!

I have an enhancement that we need to merge 6 reports into one spool, but 2 reports was made as report write and the rest are smartforms (OTF).

We need to convert the spool from report write (abapspool list) into OTF in order to merge all spools into one PDF output, is it possible?

Regards!!!!

The programs ZTEST_1, ZTEST_2 are simple programs producing list output. We merge the outputs of these programs & generate a single PDF.

Also Please check the FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF and program RSTXPDF5 which is used to convert a spool output to PDF. May be you can try top enhance it in case you want to read multiple spool jobs to be merged to single PDF

Hope This Helps
