CONCATENATE '/usr/sap/tmp/' '<' xxxxx'>' '_' '.pdf' INTO LV_FILE.

OPEN DATASET LV_FILE FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.

IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.

LOOP AT OUT_TAB.

TRANSFER OUT_TAB TO LV_FILE.

ENDLOOP.

CLOSE DATASET LV_FILE.

ENDIF.

Hi Vinod,

I checked the same using the Tr Code CG3Y . It is perfect and it is in PDF format.

But i want to see the same in PDF format on the application server.

AFAIK, it will not be visible (PDF form) in Application server. You need an associated software ( in this case Acrobat reader )to view the file contents. Download the file into presentation server to view the contents.
