Hi Experts,

Is there any function module to print a file on application server ? If not, how can I print a file using abap.

<<removed by moderator>>

Thanks.

Patrice.

You will have to use the OPEN DATASET and READ DATASET ABAP commands to read the file from the AP server into an internal table. From there, you can print it.

Thanks for your answers.

Rob,

The file is a PDF. When I read the file by the commands READ DATASET ABAP the internal table contains unreadable characters.

How can I print it.
