Convert smartform to RAW for mailbody

[Former Member]

Hi techies,

I have the following issue. I need to send a mail with attachments but I can't get the mailbody output right.

I'm using FM 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' which works fine but I need to supply the mailtext in RAW format. My original text is a smartform.

I'm converting my Smartform (containing the mailbodytext) to RAW by outputting it to spool and converting it like this.

CALL FUNCTION 'SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_RAW'

EXPORTING

format_src = 'OTF'

format_dst = 'RAW'

• format_dst = 'ASCII'

CHANGING

transfer_bin = v_boolean

content_txt = i_soli_tab

content_bin = it_content_bin

objhead = it_objhead

len = v_length

EXCEPTIONS

err_conv_failed = 1

OTHERS = 2.

The problem is that the output table contains the correct text but the conversion can not handle Tab's, enters etc;

The output table is filled with ##### between the text where tabs and so should be:

any suggestions?

Kind regards,

Hi,

Please have a look in the following sample Code. Here I am getting the output as per our requirement without any issues like Tab Space is appearing like ######....Do check it out thoroughly, if possible...

Process Flow

Process flow for converting smart form into raw format is divided into 3 steps as shown below.

1.Send Smart Form output to spool using the FM <ws_formname> (FM name derived from the export parameters of SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME).

//Start of Code Sample

DATA : ws_formname TYPE rs38l_fnam.

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_script,

trans_ref LIKE eanl-anlage,

cont_ref TYPE e_edmideservprovcontractid,

trans_code TYPE char05,

trans_reason TYPE char05,

market_sect LIKE eanl-zzmktscode,

efffrm_date LIKE sy-datum,

mprn LIKE iflot-zzmprn,

mlc TYPE char01,

subbuild_no(40) TYPE c,

build_no LIKE adrc-str_suppl1,

dep_fare LIKE adrc-str_suppl3,

post_town LIKE adrc-city1,

post_code LIKE adrc-post_code1,

asset_code LIKE egerh-kombinat,

paymnt_code(2) TYPE c,

model_code LIKE equi-typbz,

manuf_code LIKE equi-herst,

year_manuf LIKE equi-baujj,

serial_no LIKE equi-sernr,

meter_code TYPE char01,

meter_mech(2) TYPE c,

meas_cap TYPE zmeasur_cap,

role_code TYPE char03,

market_name LIKE eservice-serviceid,

status TYPE char01,

END OF ty_script.

DATA: i_scriptdata TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_script

WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA: wa_output_options TYPE ssfcompop,

wa_control_params TYPE ssfctrlop,

wa_spoolnum TYPE rspoid,

wa_printdata TYPE efg_strn_printdata.

CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'

EXPORTING

formname = 'Your Form Name'

IMPORTING

EXCEPTIONS

no_function_module = 2

OTHERS = 3.

CALL FUNCTION ws_formname

EXPORTING

control_parameters = wa_control_params

c = wa_printdata

IMPORTING

job_output_info = wa_job_output_info

TABLES

i_scriptdata_input = i_scriptdata(Your Script Data)

EXCEPTIONS

formatting_error = 1

internal_error = 2

send_error = 3

user_canceled = 4

OTHERS = 5.

MOVE wa_job_output_info-spoolids[] TO wa_spoolids[].

READ TABLE wa_spoolids INTO wa_spoolnum INDEX 1.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

DATA :id LIKE tsp01-rqident.

MOVE wa_spoolnum TO id.

ENDIF. .

Comments-Id Contains the Spool Request for the given smart form

//End of Code Sample

2.Convert the Spool Output to OTF using the FM RSPO_RETURN_SPOOLJOB.

//Start of Code Sample

data i_soli LIKE soli occurs 0 with header line.

CALL FUNCTION 'RSPO_RETURN_SPOOLJOB'

EXPORTING

rqident = id

desired_type = 'OTF'

TABLES

buffer = i_soli

EXCEPTIONS

no_such_job = 1

job_contains_no_data = 2

selection_empty = 3

no_permission = 4

can_not_access = 5

read_error = 6

type_no_match = 7

OTHERS = 8.

Comments- i_soli contains the OTF data

//End of Code Sample

3.Convert the OTF using FM SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_RAW.

DATA content_bin TYPE solix_tab.

DATA objhead TYPE soli_tab.

DATA i_soli_tab TYPE soli_tab.

DATA boolean TYPE sx_boolean.

DATA length TYPE so_obj_len.

LOOP AT i_soli.

APPEND i_soli TO i_soli_tab[].

ENDLOOP.

CALL FUNCTION 'SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_RAW'

EXPORTING

format_src = 'OTF'

format_dst = 'RAW'

CHANGING

transfer_bin = boolean

content_txt = i_soli_tab

content_bin = content_bin

objhead = objhead

len = length

EXCEPTIONS

err_conv_failed = 1

OTHERS = 2.

//comments- content_bin has the data in the raw format.

Reward poins......

I was looking into your example as i need something like that.

The issue i am having is that the outout from my smartform (job_output_info-spoolids-spoolids) is empty. It has no value. But my job_output_info-otfdata does have value.

So how would i make my smartform to return value in spoolids field?

Thanks

Where you able to solve this problem? I am having the same issue.

I need the smartform otf output, which is in tline into rawstring pdf format. If you found the solution please do share.

Thanks
