Hi Gurus,

I have created a smartform and converted into PDF using function module as given below. Now I want to write this generated PDF file into application server. I am not generating any spool request too. How can I proceed from here? Pls advice..

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'

IMPORTING

bin_filesize = lv_bin_filesize

TABLES

otf = ls_job_output_info-otfdata

doctab_archive = lt_docs

lines = lt_lines

EXCEPTIONS

err_conv_not_possible = 1

err_otf_mc_noendmarker = 2

OTHERS = 3.

Thanks..

Saj

Hi,

Try using open dataset to write ur file into the application server. The following syntax might help u

OPEN DATASET 'urfilename.pdf' FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

How can I use OPEN DATASET becase which internal table should I write to file?

We have 3 internal tables exporting from above function module.

transfer all the data from ur itabs to one final itab declared as follow

DATA: BEGIN OF final_itab OCCURS 0,

document TYPE string,

END OF final_itab.

then finally,

OPEN DATASET 'yourfile.pdf' FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

len = strlen( final_itab-DOCUMENT ).

TRANSFER final_itab-DOCUMENT TO 'yourfile.pdf' LENGTH len.

CLOSE DATASET 'yourfile.pdf'.

This ends the coding mate.

Enjoy it n have a good day.

Cheers
