Converting Internal table to spool

Former Member — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 19:06:49 GMT

What is the simplest method to convert a report to PDF. The report is based on the content of an internal table.

My understanding one option is:

- send report to spool and then convert spool to PDF using FM CONVERT_OTF

- Do I need to use FM SET_PRINT_PARAMETERS to set spool parameters

Any code example evailable?

The simplest method to create a pdf is from the spool.

If you execute the report in foreground, you need to submit to the same program so that the program runs in background and creates a spool with the output contents.

Then you read this spool and pass it to the FM - CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF

to create it to spool.

When you run the program in background, the spool is automatically created.
