Convert to PDF in background processing

Former Member — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 10:27:31 GMT

Hi all experts,

Please help. I've been on it for days and I can't seem to find any solution. Here's the scenario,

1. I get all the finished status spool in table TBTCO.

2. Match with TBTCP to get the spool number.

3. Open the graphical display of the spool to get the office

code using FM RSPO_RETURN_ABAP_SPOOLJOB.

4. Create a folder in the presentation folder for that office

code.

5. Create a pdf output for that spool.

6. Save all pdf output with the same office codes in the

created the presentation folder.

My problem is that an error keeps popping out. It says "Error calling Data provider". Maybe it's because I do it in background process, but I have to because if I don't, I get an "ABAP Runtime error." O please help me. Below are the FMs I used.

LOOP AT itab.

Hi,

Don't use Function module GUI_DOWNLOAD, it doesn't work in background mode.

Use instruction "OPEN DATASET".
