display a report in WebDynpro

[Former Member]

Hallo,

I didn't find an appropriate Thread for this, so I'm starting a new hoping that someone can give me an answer.

We have a report, that gives many tables with WRITE command.

Now I want to display the output of this report in WebDynpro, where the User only wants to see the tables. Nothing interactive at this ponit.

Since I dont want to set up all these tables, I tought of showing the result of the report as a kind of picture.

Or dynamically created pdf.

Is something like that possible?

Kind Regard and Thanks a lot,

Florian

Hi,

you can achieve this in the concept of offline PDF, where we can send PDF as attachment / prompt to open/save/cancel etc.,

check the below links:

You can achieve it. Here is the concept:

1. If you have the back-end transaction/program, send the output to the spooler.

2. Read the data from spooler and convert it to the PDF, there are standard FMs for this, I think CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF

3. Convert the PDF table output of the FM into the xstring

4.Pass this xstring to the portal

5. Convert the XString into the url and display it on the portal.

In SAP HR, we have the concept of Generic Reporting tool (GRT) where we can show the backend transaction output in portal as PDF. Here is the wiki I posted for this. In case if u are not having SAP HR ESS, still you can follow the above concept and show the report as PDF .
