Sending PDF data to Spool/Printer

Former Member — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 12:23:00 GMT

Hi,

We have created a new device to use device type PDF1.

I am retreiving PDF content from SAP and trying the use the function module 'RSPO_SX_OUTPUT_DEVICEDATA' to send the PDF data to the spool.

I am getting a INTERNAL_SERVER Error.

Here is my function call: -

CALL FUNCTION 'RSPO_SX_OUTPUT_DEVICEDATA'

EXPORTING

* NAME =

dest = p_dest

* SIZE = l_rowbytes

* ROWS = w_lines

* STARTROW = 1

* pages = 1

* RQTITLE =

* RQCOPIES =

* RQOWNER =

datatype = 'RAW'

immediately = space

* IMPORTING

* RQID =

TABLES

device_data = t_hex

* EXCEPTIONS

* NAME_MISSING = 1

* NAME_TWICE = 2

* NOT_FOUND = 3

* ILLEGAL_LAYOUT = 4

* INTERNAL_ERROR = 5

* SIZE_MISMATCH = 6

* OTHERS = 7

I have also tried to process a smartform while specifying the output device as my new PDF device, but this appears on the spool as an OTF not a PDF. Should it be a PDF.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Martin

Hi Martin,

pls check below code.

IF NOT it_final[] IS INITIAL. -

>IT_FINAL is my main internal table in the report ZSALARY

DATA : count TYPE syprcop,

days TYPE sypexpi,

params TYPE pri_params,

valid TYPE c,

pdf_table TYPE rcl_bag_tline,

spoolid TYPE rspoid,

pdf_fsize TYPE i.

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

EXPORTING

destination = 'LP01'

copies = count

list_name = 'ZSALARY' -

tHIS IS MY REPORT NAME

list_text = 'ZSSPOOL'

immediately = ' '

release = 'X'

new_list_id = 'X'

expiration = days

line_size = 90

line_count = 65

layout = 'X_PAPER'

sap_cover_page = 'X'

receiver = 'SAP*'

department = 'System'

no_dialog = 'X'

IMPORTING

out_parameters = params

valid = valid.

NEW-PAGE PRINT ON PARAMETERS params NO DIALOG.

WRITE : 'hi this is the test for spool'.

NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF.

COMMIT WORK.

WRITE : / 'The Spool no is ', sy-spono. "system variable for spool no

spoolid = sy-spono . -

At this point i can see the spool no.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'

EXPORTING

src_spoolid = spoolid

no_dialog = 'X'

IMPORTING

pdf_bytecount = pdf_fsize

TABLES

pdf = pdf_table

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 0.

CHECK sy-subrc = 0.

Thanks

I already have the PDF content. I need to use the function module RSPO_SX_OUTPUT_DEVICEDATA to send the PDF content to the spool/printer, but I do not know if I am using it properly.

Do I need to populated the number of pages etc.

Thanks

Martin

Hello Martin,

SAP provides a function module ADS_CREATE_PDF_SPOOLJOB, that can put an PDF in the SAP spool system. Example program is FP_TEST_SAVE_PDF_TO_SPOOL.

If not available, check note 0001855522.

Jürgen
