How to trigger script form to auto generate spool?

JasClemencio — Mon, 09 Dec 2024 07:51:45 GMT

Requirement is to create interface that will be triggered by outside app, They will pass invoice number then SAP will call the invoice form and download to PDF in a local file.

So far i am calling program RFKORD50 but this only let me preview the file and will only generate spool once i manually select PRINT. I need this program to auto generate the spool once called then i will convert the spool to PDF

REPORT z_trigger_script_to_pdf. PARAMETERS: p_docnum TYPE bkorm-belnr OBLIGATORY DEFAULT '7035000025', " Document Number p_path TYPE rlgrap-filename OBLIGATORY DEFAULT 'C:\Users\jasmine.clemencio\Desktop\UAT.pdf', " File path for PDF output p_comp TYPE bkorm-bukrs OBLIGATORY DEFAULT 'MY10', p_year TYPE bkorm-gjahr OBLIGATORY DEFAULT '2023', p_cor TYPE bkorm-event OBLIGATORY DEFAULT 'Z0017'. DATA: lv_spool_no TYPE tsp01-rqident, lv_file_path TYPE rlgrap-filename, lv_parameters TYPE string. " Step 1: Call RFKORD50 to generate spool SUBMIT zrfkord50 WITH rbelnr = p_docnum WITH rgjahr = p_comp WITH rgjahr = p_year WITH revent = p_cor WITH spool = 'X' " Indicate spool creation AND RETURN. " Step 2: Retrieve the spool number SELECT SINGLE rqident INTO lv_spool_no FROM tsp01 WHERE rq2name = sy-uname AND rqclient = sy-mandt. lv_spool_no = 13300. *IF sy-subrc NE 0. * WRITE: / 'Failed to retrieve spool number.'. * EXIT. *ENDIF. WRITE: / 'Spool Number:', lv_spool_no. " Step 3: Call RSTXPDFT4 to convert spool to PDF SUBMIT zrstxpdft4 WITH spoolno = 13300 WITH p_file = p_path EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY AND RETURN.

Did you try to call function like SET_PRINT_PARAMETERS ?

You could also

Execute the first SUBMIT with additions WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO and TO SAP-SPOOL spool_options (build this structure spool_options with FM GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS to prevent some immediate print and delete)
Get the spool number of the created spool request which is contained in a SPA/GPA parameter named SPI, using GET PARAMETER ID 'SPI' FIELD spoolno.

And use CL_RSPO_SPOOLID_TO_PDF=>GET_SPOOL_PDF to get the PDF as an xstring.

Yes, CL_RSPO_SPOOLID_TO_PDF=>GET_SPOOL_PDF can be called in the background.
