I create the PDF from a smartform through FM 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'. Now this FM returns a table of type TLINETAB, and when a try to put a parameter of the same type in my BAPI i get the following message "Data type TLINETAB cannot be used for methods". Do you guys know what type should I use for the BAPI to return the PDF?</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 11 Sep 2006 15:47:57 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/bapi-returns-pdf/m-p/1609044#M273234 Former Member 2006-09-11T15:47:57Z Re: BAPI returns PDF https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/bapi-returns-pdf/m-p/1609045#M273235 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Use structure TLINE.</P><P></P><P>Regards</P><P>Sridhar</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 11 Sep 2006 15:59:27 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/bapi-returns-pdf/m-p/1609045#M273235 sridhar_k1 2006-09-11T15:59:27Z Re: BAPI returns PDF https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/bapi-returns-pdf/m-p/1609046#M273236 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thank you Sirdhar for replying. TLINE is a structure, but i need to return a table, if i eventually use TLINE I would be able to return just one line. Do you have any other ideas. I know i can convert my table to an xstring, but again BAPIs do not return xstrings. Thanks for your help.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 11 Sep 2006 16:21:00 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/bapi-returns-pdf/m-p/1609046#M273236 Former Member 2006-09-11T16:21:00Z Re: BAPI returns PDF https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/bapi-returns-pdf/m-p/1609047#M273237 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Are you creating a custom BAPI fm?
