Error in Using FP_JOB_OPEN

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am using FP_JOB_OPEN FM to open a PDF form in EP.

But I am getting an error stating that "Define all the required parameters".

Please help me on this.

Regards,

Amit

Hi Amit

what are you trying to do? You need FP_JOB_OPEN and FP_JOB_CLOSE for printing, i.e. to start a spool job in ABAP. What kind of form do you want to display, an interactive one? In that case, working with the spool makes not a lot of sense.

Best regards,

Hi Markus,

I was trying to open a simple print form, previously I had not defined the connection field in SFPOUTPUTPARAMS

Now PDF is not giving any error. But nothng is coming up, neither the error nor the form.

This is the code I have written :

DATA : lv_fname TYPE funcname,

lt_ie_outputparams TYPE sfpoutputparams,

lt_pernr TYPE qisr_tab_type,

lt_ename TYPE qisr_tab_type,

ls_special_data LIKE LINE OF special_data,

ls_pernr LIKE LINE OF lt_pernr,

ls_ename LIKE LINE OF lt_ename.

DATA fp_docparams TYPE sfpdocparams .

DATA fp_formoutput TYPE fpformoutput .

DATA t_head TYPE thead .

Hello Amit,

lt_ie_outputparams-getpdf = 'X'.

This asks the system to render the form and send back a pdf that you will have to capture and continue whatever processes you have in mind. However, it also has the effect of stopping the creation of a spool. So, if you set this flag do not expect a spool.

• IMPORTING

• /1BCDWB/FORMOUTPUT = This is where you will capture the resulting pdf...
