Fetching OTF data required for Convert_OTF for SAPScript versus Samrtform.

[Former Member]

Hi,

When using a CONVERT_OTF for converting Smartform output we pass the <b>importing parameter job_output_info-otfdata</b> of function module CALL FUNCTION v_form_name

to <b>Tables parameter OTF</b> of function module CONVERT_OTF odule. We do this because the <b>job_output_info-otfdata</b> contains the otf data.

But when when we are using the same function module CONVERT_OTF for SAPScript, where do we get the otf data from ?

You get is from the CLOSE_FORM function call.

For example, you set the flag in the OPEN_FORM call, then get the OTF from the CLOSE_FORM.

form  get_otf_code.

  data: begin of otf occurs 0.
          include structure itcoo .
  data: end of otf.

  data: itcpo like itcpo.
  data: itcpp like itcpp.

  clear itcpo.
<b>  itcpo-tdgetotf = 'X'.</b>

* Start writing OTF code
  call function 'OPEN_FORM'
       exporting
            form     = 'ZTEST'
            language = sy-langu
<b>            options  = itcpo</b>
            dialog   = false
       exceptions
            others   = 1.

  perform write_form.

<b>  move-corresponding itcpo to itcpp.</b>

  call function 'CLOSE_FORM'
       importing
  <b>          result  = itcpp</b>
       tables
   <b>         otfdata = otf</b>
       exceptions
            others  = 1.

I have one more doubt associated with this.

If we want to convert this OTF data in PDF, where exactly we will use the convert_otf function module ? Will this be after Close_form ?

Note: According to solution given to me I will get OTF data after close_form function module..

[RichHeilman]

AFter you get the OTF code from the CLOSE_FORM function module you will then call another function module to convert it to PDF format.

You may be able to use function module CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF for this.
