layout problem in PDF conversion

[Former Member]

Hi all,

i am downloading spool data using the function module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF. But i am facing layout problem. e.g. RFBILA00(financial statement generation program) has written balancesheet data to the spool. This spool data has some 6 columns. but CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF is writing only first 3 columns to the generated PDF file. i used 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS' function module also with values like layout as 'X_65_132' and 'X_90_120'. but no success. if anybody knows the answer, please let me know.

Thanks in advance,

Naveen

Hi

use convert_otf_2_pdf.

U can design ur own layouts using SFP transaction code.

otf like table of itcoo,

doc like table of docs,

tlines like table of tline.

data: begin of struct occurs 0.

include structure spfli.

data: end of struct.

data: itab like table of struct with header line.

call function 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'

Hi all,

thanks for your replies. But function modules CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF or CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF will not work in my case as I am getting error like 'there is no OTF data'. my requirement is to download spool data written by a simple ABAP program. e.g.: 'RFBILA00' program is writing results in ALV list format to the spool. i have to download this information in PDF format.

Regards,

Hi All,

i am following the below approach to download the information from spool.

program/spool output is an ALV List output data having 8 columns. but below approach is converting only first 5 columns in to PDF format. other 3 columns are getting truncated.
