Spool Id - OTF end command // missing in OTF dat

Former Member — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:46:01 GMT

Hello all,

I searched a lot about this error in SDN But i could not get a clear solution...

I am having a SAP Script and i have generated the spool request through OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM

Converted that to PDF using CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF...

But when i try to trigger a mail...

Throwing error "OTF end command // missing in OTF dat"....

Kindly, let me know how should i generate or get the spool id so as to pass this spool id to CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF

to avoid this error...

Is CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF FM a must to use instaed of CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF...

If that is the case how can i capture the spool id to pass that in CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF....

Waiting for your replies....

Hi,

this is how you are going to capture the Spool number in Driver Program..


DATA : wa_result LIKE  itcpp.


******* OPEN FORM ZTERMSANDCONDITIONS FOR CREATING SPOOL #
  CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
    EXPORTING
      device                      = 'PRINTER'
      dialog                      = ' '
      form                        = 'ZTERMSANDCOND'
      OPTIONS                     = wa_options
    IMPORTING
      RESULT                      = wa_result.

  CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
    IMPORTING
      RESULT                   = wa_result


"The spool number generated is avaialable in wa_result-tdspoolid.
"now call the below function module to generate PDF from Spool.

  CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'
    EXPORTING
      src_spoolid                    = wa_result-tdspoolid    "THis is Spool number field in the open form and Close form..
     no_dialog                      = 'X'.
