Hi Anthony,

To convert SAP Script into PDF, first generate a Spool Request

Then goto transaction SP01 and copy the generated Spool Request number

now execute the SAP report RSTXPDFT4

Here enter the copied Spool request number and the target directory into the parameters

execute the report

Required pdf file will be generated into the target directory

i hope it will help you out....

Please refer this simple program:

Hi Nitin,

Thanks, In this case ZSPOOLTOPDF2 is the print program of a SAPScript Form?

submit ZSPOOLTOPDF2

to sap-spool

spool parameters %_print

archive parameters %_print

without spool dynpro

and return.

How can i get spool number?

IMPORT w_spool_nr FROM MEMORY ID 'SPOOLTOPDF'.

What is this 'SPOOLTOPDF'?

Thanks,

Problem solved! We can use open_form, ...close_form FMs to generate the spool request. Thanks!
