Converting internal table data into PDF fomrat

[Former Member]

I folks,

I need to send the internal table data to different vendors thorugh email as PDF attachment.

I have done some thing like this before, by using the spool number. But in the present requirement i cannot use spool number as the report is executed in the foreground. I am trying the following procedure for that.

1. For Converting ITAB data into OTF, using the FM 'PRINT_TEXT'

2. For converting the OTF data into PDF using the FM 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'

But while using the Function modude 'PRINT_TEXT', for the import parameter 'LINES', i have given the itab i declared for output. But it going to short dump showing the message as 'ITAB is correct type, but its length is incorrect'. What is mistake i have done there. Is there any method to accomplish my requirement. How can i convert internal table data into PDF format, without any spool number..Could any body please suggest me...

Thanks in advance,

Shyam.

Hi,

Thanks for your effort. But i have already seen those threads.But i am stuck at the point i mentioned.

while using the Function modude 'PRINT_TEXT', for the import parameter 'LINES', i have given the itab i declared for output. But it going to short dump showing the message as 'ITAB is correct type, but its length is incorrect'. Any idea on this?

Thanks,

Hi ,

In the Fm print_text the parameter LINES is in the tables option...

Anywayz have you declared that internal table which your passing to the LINES parameter as that of TLINE structure?

Ex: itab type standard table of tline.

Rohan.
