How to do this extraction?

Hello,

PS: i dont want to generate a pdf from alv, i am saying about a pdf document already existing.

So you want to open an existing PDF file based on the rows selected form the ALV?

Considering you must have some logic to populate the filename for the PDF file, then use the method EXECUTE of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

Plz revert back if you have any other requirement.

Suhas

Thank you Suhas for your reply.

i'm not an expert of abap object.

what is the funtionality of this method? because i saw that we can give a document name as a paramater:

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute

EXPORTING

document = filename

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 1.

I'm able to see and test the specified Function Module : AQBW_CALL_EXTRACTOR_QUERY

under the function group : AQBWEXR.
