CALL FUNCTION SEND ERROR when displaying attendance report in PDF format.

[Former Member]

We implemented SSO/webgui. The users did not have any issues with printing reports from SAPGUI. In webgui, however, we had to define a Local PDF1 printer, per SAP Note 771683. When users prints this report, it is generating 1-5 CALL_FUNCTION_SEND_ERROR. We have Central Instance and 5 additional instances on 3 app servers. Sometimes it generates 1 dumps, sometimes 2, etc. The dump do not occurred on the instances you are logged into. The dump contains the following:

-

We are on ERP 2004, kernel level 156, and Basis SP18. I have Adobe Reader 8.

Our CI Service Port is 8009.

I have not seen any posting if there is a PDF limitation, e.g., width limitation, report contains rows highlighted in various colors.

Dear Elaine,

check notes

<a href="https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/764734">764734</a>

<a href="https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/688372">688372</a>

or you might want to try to comment out line 118 of the function module

ICM_CACHE_UPLOAD which reads like this

PERFORMING RECEIVE_DATA_UPLOAD ON END OF TASK

If this does not solve the problem, give a detailed description on how to reproduce the dump and put that into an error message with SAP. It should go to BC-CST-IC.

Best Regards,

Tim
