Hi All

My requirement is to display a spool in PDF form in sp02 transaction. I am getting the spool in OTF form, but I need to show it in PDF format. Its not downloading to PDF form. Its just to display in SP02 tcode. Is it possible? If so, how? I tried using CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_TO_PDF. This function module outputs the data in PDF internal table. After this what can be done to display in PDF form.

Thanks

If you have the PDF into a XSTRING variable, you can use this function module:

call function 'ISH_DALE_PDF_DISPLAY'

exporting

i_pdf = lv_pdf.

TITLE =

If you stored the PDF on the presentation server (cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download), you can use this method:

call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute

exporting

document = lv_filename

operation = 'OPEN'

synchronous = 'X'

exceptions

cntl_error = 1

error_no_gui = 2

bad_parameter = 3

file_not_found = 4

path_not_found = 5

file_extension_unknown = 6

error_execute_failed = 7

others = 8.

Hi Shakir,

Use Function Module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.

Pass the Spool Number and the Table parameter will return the PDF format.
