print PDF without sapscript or smartform..

hi all.

I am supposed to produce a report for wage type for an employee for a month. Now they want results in two format. One is sort of flat file in .PRN format. The other is a .pdf file, a sort of report. Now here i have a doubt. there is no sap script or smartform as the format they want in PDF. Does it mean i have to create a new sap script or smartform for it.

Isnt there any other method where i can create the structure they want without using sap script or smartforms?

the structure they want is like a balance sheet. If someone wants then i can mail them the format they want?

thanks for ur help in advance..

I think a SMARTFORM would be a better option.. you caould still use the function module if you are able to get the list in the dsired format using palin old WRITE statements or the ALV Grid layouts..
