Hi meenakshi,

What is the error you are getting?

For reference regarding the fm CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF check report RSTXPDFT4.

Hi ,

The error is

A function module was called incorrectly.

Re: Spool to pdf format

Former Member — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 05:09:21 GMT

HI,

May be you have passed wrong parameters. Check declaration for i_itcpp and it_pdf_output.

Value of SRC_SPOOLID should be spool number (LIKE TSP01-RQIDENT) and it_pdf_output should be table of TLINE.

Mordhwaj

Hi Gowtham,

Yes u r right . It_pdf_output is in table TLINE only but i changed the i_itcpp to i_itcpp-TDSPOOLID. Now iam getting the output but not in pdf format normal otf only then showing error message as 'spool request 0 does not exists.'.

Regards,

Meenakshi

Hi Gowtham...

the above statement was for print preview only but when i click print button it s showing the message PDF DATA OF LENGTH 809468 CREATED. So where i can view the pdf format....in sp01 i didnt notice any change.

Re: Spool to pdf format

Former Member — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 05:21:31 GMT

Hi!

Please check the following:

1. If data type of 'i_itcpp' is "TSP01-RQIDENT". Else it will throw an error.

2. If " it_pdf_output" is of TYPE TABLE OF TLINE.

Also what is your Output device? This parameter will be passed in export parameter 'DST_DEVICE'.

So your this piece of code should be something like this:

DATA: i_itcpp TYPE TSP01-RQIDENT,

it_pdf_output TYPE TABLE OF TLINE.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'

EXPORTING

SRC_SPOOLID = i_itcpp

DST_DEVICE = 'LP01'

TABLES

PDF = it_pdf_output

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

* WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

Hi Meenakshi,

You were passing everything correct. If suppose the run time error is like type conflict then you should pass the parameter as the same type as function module(CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF).For types refer Modhwaj post.

If not go to st22 it will give you the proper solution.

You could not fix the problem kindly post the run time error.

I hope this will help you.

Warm Regards,

John.

Hi Ks,

Thanx for ur reply but same runtime error only.....wen i debug and saw the spoolid in itcpp is showing 0.

Re: Spool to pdf format

Former Member — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 05:37:28 GMT

For this function module CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF in exporting parameters need to pass DST_DEVICE also.

DST_DEVICE = 'LP01' "Device Type

Re: Spool to pdf format

Former Member — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 06:08:44 GMT

hmm,

we need some value in i_itcpp before calling this FM..

This is done in FM 'JOB_OPEN':

NAME LIKE tbtcjob-jobname VALUE 'TRANSFER DATA',

NUMBER LIKE tbtcjob-jobcount,

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'

EXPORTING

JOBNAME = NAME

IMPORTING

JOBCOUNT = NUMBER

EXCEPTIONS

CANT_CREATE_JOB = 1

INVALID_JOB_DATA = 2

JOBNAME_MISSING = 3

OTHERS = 4.

WA_JOB-JOBCOUNT = NUMBER.

APPEND WA_JOB TO IT_JOB. "Appending Job number to an internal field.

After that you can be calling a program using submit or anything else..

Then close the job:

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'

EXPORTING

JOBCOUNT = NUMBER

JOBNAME = NAME

STRTIMMED = 'X'

EXCEPTIONS

CANT_START_IMMEDIATE = 1

INVALID_STARTDATE = 2

JOBNAME_MISSING = 3

JOB_CLOSE_FAILED = 4

JOB_NOSTEPS = 5

JOB_NOTEX = 6

LOCK_FAILED = 7

OTHERS = 8.

* ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

And then:

LOOP AT IT_NUM INTO WA_NUM.

i_itcpp = WA_NUM-LISTIDENT.

And now call FM '

'CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' with i_itcpp. (same as before)..

ENDLOOP.

KS.

HI KS,

This is new to me.....after 'JOB_OPEN' fm wat i need to call...?

Then y the need to call the function module 'job_open, job_submit and job_cloe'

Re: Spool to pdf format

Former Member — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 06:26:32 GMT

Hi,

I see your interface parameter TABLES commented but the parameter itself ( OTFDATA) left un-commented...

Also,

please check t_otf declaration as:

t_otf LIKE ITCOO.

Hi meena,

And also check the entire single quotes word should be capital if not it will through the run time error. Because as you know already ABAP is a case sensitive only with in single quotes.

Warm Regards,

Hi Meemakshi,

Un-comment the TABLES statement in the shown place

Also pass the character input parameters in capitals.

For example, you have passed 'Lp01', instead, pass 'LP01'.
