Pdf conversion--unknown characters

pradeep_nellore — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 05:57:00 GMT

Hi All,

I am trying to convert internal table to pdf fomrat.

I have used RSPO_OPEN_SPOOLREQUEST , RSPO_WRITE_SPOOLREQUEST , RSPO_CLOSE_SPOOLREQUEST and finally CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF. There is a table PDF in CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF .But , when i debug the code,

i see some unknon chinese characters in the table PDF.Was there any problem or is this normal.

Regards

Hi Pradeep, Here is the sample program for your requirement.

Hi!

Instead of checking the result in debugging, please check the actual output. If that is fine, I don't think that you need to bother about chinese characters!

Cheers.

Hi Pradeep,

Please check the function module again and also its parameters.

U just need to give the spool no...and u'll get the pdf table...even if u dont give the other parameters, its ok...doesnt affect.

DATA: T_PDF LIKE TLINE OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA: V_RQIDENT TYPE TSP01-RQIDENT.

DATA: V_RQ2NAME TYPE STRING.

Retrieving Spool ID From TSP01 Table

CONCATENATE V_RQ2NAME SY-UNAME INTO V_RQ2NAME.

SELECT * FROM TSP01

WHERE RQ2NAME EQ V_RQ2NAME ORDER BY RQCRETIME DESCENDING.

V_RQIDENT = TSP01-RQIDENT.

EXIT.

ENDSELECT.

IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.

CLEAR V_RQIDENT.

ENDIF.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'

EXPORTING

SRC_SPOOLID = V_SpoolNo

TABLES

PDF = T_PDF

EXCEPTIONS

ERR_NO_OTF_SPOOLJOB = 1

ERR_NO_SPOOLJOB = 2

ERR_NO_PERMISSION = 3

ERR_CONV_NOT_POSSIBLE = 4

ERR_BAD_DSTDEVICE = 5

USER_CANCELLED = 6

ERR_SPOOLERROR = 7

ERR_TEMSEERROR = 8

ERR_BTCJOB_OPEN_FAILED = 9

ERR_BTCJOB_SUBMIT_FAILED = 10

ERR_BTCJOB_CLOSE_FAILED = 11

OTHERS = 12.

Hope that helps u If any problem still persists, then let us know

Hi Pradeep,

Check whether internal table has the data or not before it is sent to Spool..

Thanks
