Hi Nitin,

Create a spool job of the ALV output and convert that spool into PDF using FM CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.

If you want more on this then pls revert.

Hi Nitin,

First convert the ALV o/p to spool, then take the spool no use Report RSTXPDFT4 to convert it to PDF.

Hi Nitin,

define the tline ( SAPscript: Text ) as follows.

DATA: itable_pdf TYPE TABLE OF tline WITH HEADER LINE,

at first call the FM 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' by passing the spool no and you will get the pdf data in the internal table.

EXPORTING

src_spoolid = spool_no

TABLES

PDF = itable_pdf

now call the follwing FM

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

filename = v_string " data : v_string type string default 'testpdffile.pdf'.

FILETYPE = 'BIN'

tables

data_tab = itable_pdf

Thanks,

Abhishek

Hi,

Refer the following code...


get the spool number
* Declaration of local variables.
DATA:
LV_RQ2NAME LIKE TSP01-RQ2NAME.
 
CONCATENATE SY-REPID+0(8)
SY-UNAME+0(3)
INTO LV_RQ2NAME SEPARATED BY '_'.
* Get the spool number.
SELECT * FROM TSP01 WHERE RQ2NAME = LV_RQ2NAME
ORDER BY RQCRETIME DESCENDING.
V_RQIDENT = TSP01-RQIDENT.
EXIT.
ENDSELECT.
IF SY-SUBRC NE 0.
CLEAR V_RQIDENT.
ENDIF

hope this helps

Regards
