FILE DOES NOT BEGIN WITH '%PDF-'.

[Former Member]

We are using standard QC42 Transaction.

This is calling program SAPMQCWA, which in turn calls program MQCWAF01. here download into PDF will happen.

There is a function module in this program QC07_BATCH_CERT_DISPLAY_PDF which converts the data into PDF.

Trace I can see it is converting data into MIME.

 The problem may be at converting this MIME .

 While downloading into browser it is not able to convert into the format which browser wants.

While down loading it is calling this statement.

MIME-TRANSPORT

L_MIMEBIN_TAB L_CONTENT_LENGTH LC_APPLICATION.

This is calling function module

CALL FUNCTION 'ALEWEB_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

DATA_LEN = &2

MIME_TYPE = &3

TABLES

DATA_TAB = &1

EXCEPTIONS

ITS_NOT_AVAILABLE = 1

OTHERS = 2.

are there any correction needs to apply if it is Unicode system?

I found a note similar to this problem but that is related CRM note number is :828461

Please advice us how to correct this error.

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,

you can specify the data type as RAW or CHAR. I assume the PDF should not be converted by the RFC therefore I suggest RAW as data type.

Hi ,

I am not converting this into any data type, SAP standard functionmodule is converting PDF.

could you please tell me where i need to change if i need to change.

Thanks

Jepp, that's true. But character based data will be converted during the RFC transport

and raw data will not.

So try to pass the raw parameter to the function module 'ALEWEB_DOWNLOAD'.

Hi Keith,

I suggest to create a OSS ticket for this issue. This might be an error within

the application and not related to the ITS. Does the application provide a way

to download the PDF document using the SAPGui for Windows? And if so,

does it work?
