Problem in converting into PDF

Former Member — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 04:26:03 GMT

HI,

I need to convert data in PDF format but i am facing problem in it.

i have used 2 methods,

1. i used job_open,job_submit,job_close,BP_JOB_READ to submit job and CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF to convert into pdf format. it is working fine in this case.

2. But when i use SUBMIT program with USING SELECTION-SCREEN 'xxxx' WITH selcrit2 IN 'xxxx'.. and then spool which created i used in FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF , it is not converting even though same exporting and importing parameters are passed in this as in above.

Please reply.

Regards,

neha

I debugged and found tht while using SUBMIT PROGRAM to create spool, there is some time lag. Means it creates spool number but if i check in SP01 it is not yet created. That is why it is not creating its pdf file. It happens sometimes not always.

How to overcome this situation?

Hi,

First check whether the spool request is working fine or not by just execute any PO or sales order or any print view and from the menu give print there by you will get the spool number, make a note of the spool number.

Go to SE38 and enter the program RSTXPDF4 and execute it will ask for the spool number give the spool number noted earlier and if PDF format is coming means you have some error while configureing the SP01.

Hope my answer helps you.

Cheers!!

Thanks a lot.

But program u mentioned is for spool created from SAP script. But in my case i am using internal table data to create spool.

However i runned the program by entering the spool num i crreated, it shows error "spool does not contain sap-script data".

is there any other way to resolve my problem. To check whether exactly spool is generated or not?
