Editing Spool

Former Member — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 05:57:40 GMT

hi,

After a spool is created , how can it be edited ?

Requirement :

SAP standard report is executed and a spool is created for generating a PDF . The new requirement is that , page numbers needs to be shown on the PDF , ie it needs to be there in spool.

How can we edit a spool and insert page numbers ?

Can we get the spool into an internal table and insert one line in each page and create a new spool? If yes, How?

Thanks,

Paul.

call function 'RSPO_RETURN_SPOOLJOB'

exporting

rqident = i_spool_nr

FIRST_LINE = 1
LAST_LINE = 1000000000000

desired_type = 'RAW'

IMPORTING
REAL_TYPE =
SP_LANG =

tables

buffer = it_raw

BUFFER_PDF =

exceptions

no_such_job = 1

job_contains_no_data = 2

selection_empty = 3

no_permission = 4

can_not_access = 5

read_error = 6

type_no_match = 7

others = 8.

this function module will return spool as raw text , append page no and then convert to pdf.
