CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have used <b>CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF</b> to generate a PDF from a spool ID. Now I need to use the internal table returned from this function module, table PDF (type TLINE), to upload (archive) the file to a specific <b>content server repository</b> and generate an <b>archive document ID</b>.

This needs to be done <b>without</b> using a physical PDF file/local storage on workstation.

All <b>helpful</b> answers will be rewarded!

Why don't to use a DATASET to download your PDF table? Just use a .pdf filename and it will work, I think...

[former_member189059]

parameters: pcfile LIKE rlgrap-filename LOWER CASE.


  CALL FUNCTION 'WS_DOWNLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      bin_filesize            = w_bytecount " imported from the prev function
      filename                = pcfile
      filetype                = 'BIN'
    TABLES
      data_tab                = itab_pdf
    EXCEPTIONS
      file_open_error         = 1
      file_write_error        = 2
      invalid_filesize        = 3
      invalid_type            = 4
      no_batch                = 5
      unknown_error           = 6
      invalid_table_width     = 7
      gui_refuse_filetransfer = 8
      customer_error          = 9
      OTHERS                  = 10.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE e398(00) WITH 'Cannot download to PC. Error =' sy-subrc.
  ENDIF.

Hi again,

As explained in the initial post, <b>I cannot use local storage</b> (cannot use WS_DOWNLOAD), and I have to store the file in a <b>specific content server repository</b> and hence generate an <b>archive document ID</b> (so I guess cannot use DATASET either).

I need to upload the internal PDF table directly to the server... Any good ideas?

Hi mari,

i'm not quiet sure, if you want to upload or download.

In my example it's an download(transfer).

as i mentioned take your own directory an name.

Hi mari,

try this:

DATA: P_SPOOL LIKE TSP01-RQIDENT.

DATA: FILESIZE TYPE I.

DATA: BEGIN OF PDF_OUTPUT OCCURS 0.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE TLINE.

DATA: END OF PDF_OUTPUT.

• change as you need

DATA: DATEI_A(30) TYPE C VALUE '/tmp/test.pdf'.

*

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'

EXPORTING

SRC_SPOOLID = P_SPOOL

IMPORTING

PDF_BYTECOUNT = FILESIZE

TABLES

PDF = PDF_OUTPUT.

OPEN DATASET DATEI_A FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.

IF SY-SUBRC NE 0. MESSAGE E001. STOP. ENDIF.

*

LOOP AT PDF_OUTPUT.

*

TRANSFER PDF_OUTPUT TO DATEI_A.

*

ENDLOOP.

*

CLOSE DATASET DATEI_A.

IF SY-SUBRC NE 0. MESSAGE E001. STOP. ENDIF.

Regards, Dieter
