submit rstxpdft4

Former Member — Fri, 19 Aug 2005 09:00:48 GMT

i am using rstxpdft4 to convert the smartform to pdf. it is working fine. when i am giviing test-> print the spool id is been created. only one id has been created so all the next forms are appended to the same spool id. so for every run i want to have one spool id and i want to pass this spool id to the selection screen of the rstxpdft4. how this can be solved. waiting for ur replies.

instead i want to delete the previous spool id and generate new. can this is be possible thru this procedure

Hi Ateeq,

Did you select the 'New spool request' check box?

Also give different name of each print in the field 'Spool request name'. E.g 1,2,3 etc.

Pls let me know from where you are printing?

Thanks

Vinod

Hi Atteq

In my knowledge, we use Txn SCOT to do the same.

Right now, i'm not having access. I'm not sure for the program RSTXPDTT4, wheteher it is the same program behind SCOT. If different, try Txn SCOT for changing the format (default format for sending forms is OTF)

hai vinod,

thanks for the reply.

first of all i am going to the print preview. i am clicking test-> print and after that i am selecting f3 button (or) back button. here the spool prog rstxpdft4 has been called. now i am giving the generated spool id in this selection screen and executing.

previously i haven't given the new spool req. now i had given that.

including this i want to send the spool id to the selection screen of rstxpdf4, how to do this.

Hi,

It's possible to create pdf files directly from the ABAP program,where you call the smartform. There are a lot of threads to this topic. You should fill the following structures ( input parameters 😞

SSFCOMPOP ( field TDNEWID - new spool request )

SSFCTRLOP ( fields NO_OPEN, NO_CLOSE, GETOTF )

Hi Ateeq,

Check whether it is creating new spool request for each print out? Because now you have selected the 'New spool request'. Was this your problem?

If it is generating new spool request, then the program rstxpdft4 will generate pdf file for each print out.

Thanks

Hi,

Use FM 'CONVERT_OTF'.

call function 'CONVERT_OTF'

EXPORTING

FORMAT = 'PDF'

MAX_LINEWIDTH = 132

IMPORTING

BIN_FILESIZE = NUMBYTES

TABLES

OTF = ZOFTDATA

LINES = ZPDF

EXCEPTIONS

ERR_MAX_LINEWIDTH = 1

ERR_FORMAT = 2

ERR_CONV_NOT_POSSIBLE = 3.

CALL FUNCTION 'WS_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

BIN_FILESIZE = NUMBYTES

FILENAME = FILEPDF

FILETYPE = 'BIN'

IMPORTING

ACT_FILENAME = FILEPDF

FILESIZE = NUMBYTES

TABLES

DATA_TAB = ZPDF

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 9.

hai Rusev,

i had used this code but it is not working.

when i debug, the zoftdata and zpdf including the numbtypes is also zero when the func. module is returned.

so these null values are passed to the download func, so it is not working. any suggestions regarding this are welcome.

Hi Ateeq,

What technique are you using for the ouput generation?

SAPScript or Smartform?

Follow these steps if you are using SAPScript.

1. Mark 'X' in the field TDGETOTF of the structure ITCPO of the FM: OPEN_FORM.

2. You will get the OTF data of the form in tables parameter of the FM: CLOSE_FORM.

3. The OTF data may be converted to PDF data by FM: CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF.

4. This PDF data may be downloaded by Function module GUI_DOWNLOAD.

For Smartforms

s_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.

s_control_parameters-getotf = 'X'.

CALL FUNCTION v_func_name

EXPORTING

output_options = s_output_options

control_parameters = s_control_parameters

IMPORTING

job_output_info = s_job_output_info

......

call function 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'

tables

otf = s_job_output_info-otfdata

lines = t_pdf

Thanks

See this sample code. It partly covers the pdf coversion from smartform.
