Converting internal table data into PDF format....

[Former Member]

Hello,

I get data for a personel's trip in an internal table in a internal table with data formatted properly. I want the data from this internal table to be converted into pdf form. How can I do this ?

DATA: pernr               LIKE ptrv_head-pernr,
      tripno              LIKE ptrv_head-reinr.
DATA: i_tripform          LIKE bapitrform OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,
           return              LIKE bapireturn.

pernr = '1000'.
tripno = '2600281'.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRIP_GET_FORM'
       EXPORTING
            employeenumber = pernr
            tripnumber     = tripno
      "SET_PRINT_FLAG      = ' '
      "display_form        = 'X'
       IMPORTING
            return         = return
       TABLES
            tripform       = i_tripform.

Hi, write the data to a spoolfile and use a function module to convert it to PDF eg. CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.

Succes

There are 3 common ways by which you can get this data in PDF format.

1) Send mail using function module SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1

2) Write the data in ABAP list and convert the spool to PDF using CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF

3) Write data using SCript or Smartform and get OTF data and convert to spool using CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF

if the process is taken place in background just loop the table data and use write: wa_itab-f1.....fn and pick the spool number using system variable sy-SPONO convert the spool to OTF and OTF to PDF.
