FM is CONVERT_OTF.

CALL FUNCTION "CONVERT_OTF"

EXPORTING FORMAT = "PDF"

IMPORTING BIN_FILESIZE = FILE_LEN

TABLES OTF = OTFDATA

LINES = PDFDATA

EXCEPTIONS ERR_MAX_LINEWIDTH = 1

ERR_FORMAT = 2

ERR_CONV_NOT_POSSIBLE = 3

OTHERS = 4.

for any clarifiaction pls mail me.

pls reward points, if this helped u.

hi,

if u try to attempt to convert a DATE value into an ABAP variable with type I, the system will be unable to perform the conversion.

Hi,

After sending SAP Scripts to the spool request (SP01), you can use the SAP standard spool PDF conversion program.

<b>RSTXPDFT4 - Convert SAP Script to PDF files</b>

See the below thread, it will explain how to convert Script output to PDF format

for your Second Question, see the below link, and see the <b>DATES</b> heading for all dates function module

http://www.sap-img.com/abap-function.htm

See the below link also for date conversion

Hi Dharma,

In the Function Module <b>CLOSE_FORM</b>, there is a TABLES parameter called OTFDATA. Give a variable to store the SAPScript output in OTF format. Now you can use CONVERT_OTF Function Module to convert the OTF data to PDF format.If you want to store it in your desktop you can use the Function Module GUI_DOWNLOAD.

Just go through this link for the entire source code.

Regards,

SP.
