Hi Experts,

Is there any function module to print a file on application server ? If not, how can I print a file using abap.

You will have to use the OPEN DATASET and READ DATASET ABAP commands to read the file from the AP server into an internal table. From there, you can print it.

Thanks for your answers.

Rob,

The file is a PDF. When I read the file by the commands READ DATASET ABAP the internal table contains unreadable characters.

How can I print it.

Tyr this.

DATA : BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,
        test(200) TYPE c,
        test1(200) TYPE c,
        test2(200) TYPE c,
       END OF itab.

DATA : p_file(11) TYPE c VALUE 'test_sharat'.
DO 3 TIMES.
  itab-test = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX50'.
  itab-test1 = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX100'.
  itab-test2 = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX50'.
  APPEND itab.
  CLEAR itab.
ENDDO.

OPEN DATASET p_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
  LOOP AT itab.
    TRANSFER itab TO p_file.
  ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
CLOSE DATASET p_file
