open dataset in binary mode-data missing in pdf file

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am downloading a pdf file to the appl server using the below code.

open dataset filename for output in binary mode.

OPEN DATASET file_name FOR OUTPUT IN BINARY MODE.
     LOOP AT lines INTO ls_lines.
       TRANSFER ls_lines TO file_name.
     ENDLOOP.
     CLOSE DATASET file_name.
     MESSAGE 'File has been Transfered' TYPE 'S'.

pdf file is downloading to the appl server.

I am reading the file using CG3Y transaction, an found that some tax values are missing.

please advice on how to fix this issue ASAP.

Hi Praveen

You know FM ARCHIVFILE_SERVER_TO_CLIENT and ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER ?!

You can download and upload any file with them, but you must know the directory where this files are.

For discovery this, call Tcode AL11.

Hi,

thanks for the information.

I am using AL11 read the file using the T-Code CG3Y.

but when i read the file, it is having some values missing..

hi,

hi Raphael,

I have 2 scenarios here.

scenario1: I am downloading the file as pdf to application server and then reading it using CG3Y transaction. In this case, the tax values are missing in the pdf file.(I am using opendataset command in binary mode)

scenario2: the pdf file that got converted is displayed in sap system . in this case the tax values are displayed correctly..

I can send you the code if needed.

Thanks,

Praveen

Can you post your code here?!

Pls find the code..

In this case, the pdf file tax values are missing out as shown above screenshot..

i also tried with legacy binary mode and binary mode code page 1100.

Praveen,

Sorry for my delay, i've been busy these days.

Analyzing your code i have one question, debugging the FM CONVERT_OTF, wich values the parameter lines get ?!

Regards.

Hi,

Try this code: note the use of bin_file parameter.
