MAX_LINEWIDTH = 132

• ARCHIVE_INDEX = ' '

IMPORTING

BIN_FILESIZE = BINFILESIZE

TABLES

OTF = DATATAB[]

EXCEPTIONS

ERR_MAX_LINEWIDTH = 1

ERR_FORMAT = 2

ERR_CONV_NOT_POSSIBLE = 3

OTHERS = 4

.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

i have values in DATATAB[] and PDFTAB[]

but for some reason i don't see anything in my print preview or even i print it,it doesn't print.when i comment the above FM ,I AM ABLE TO VIEW IN PRINT PREVIEW AND ABLE TO PRINT IT.

I WANT TO KNOW WHETHER ITS POSSIBLE TO PRINT THE PDF DIRECTLY OR DO I NEED TO SAVE IT SAY DESKTOP AND THEN PRINT IT.

waiting for replies

Hi Deepthi,

Consider the FM <b>OPEN_FORM</b>,

CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'

EXPORTING

• APPLICATION = 'TX'

• ARCHIVE_INDEX =

• ARCHIVE_PARAMS =

DEVICE = 'PRINTER'

DIALOG = space

FORM = 'ZSCRIPT'

• LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU

OPTIONS = struct

• MAIL_SENDER =

• MAIL_RECIPIENT =

• MAIL_APPL_OBJECT =

• RAW_DATA_INTERFACE = '*'

• SPONUMIV =

• IMPORTING

• LANGUAGE =

• NEW_ARCHIVE_PARAMS =

• RESULT =

EXCEPTIONS

CANCELED = 1

DEVICE = 2

FORM = 3

OPTIONS = 4

UNCLOSED = 5

MAIL_OPTIONS = 6

ARCHIVE_ERROR = 7

INVALID_FAX_NUMBER = 8

MORE_PARAMS_NEEDED_IN_BATCH = 9

SPOOL_ERROR = 10

CODEPAGE = 11

OTHERS = 12

.

In the <b> OPTIONS </b> parameter, you can assign the component called <b>TDIMMED</b> and pass it to OPEN_FORM.

In the above example you can do like this.

struct-tdimmed = 'X'.

Now pass struct to the OPTIONS parameter of OPEN_FORM.

<b>Award points if found useful.</b>

SP.

first u change urs layout into otf form using close function:

DATA BEGIN OF I_otfdata OCCURS 50.

include structure itcoo.

DATA END OF I_otfdata.

DATA: i_itcpp LIKE itcpp.

CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'

IMPORTING

result = i_itcpp

TABLES

otfdata = <b>I_otfdata</b>

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 1.

IF sy-subrc NE 0.

retcode = sy-subrc.

PERFORM protocol_update.

ENDIF.

IF i_itcpp-tdspoolid NE space.

PERFORM protocol_update_spool USING '342' i_itcpp-tdspoolid

space space space.

ENDIF.

then change otf to pdf use FM :

data: t_lines type standard table of tline

initial size 0 with header line.

data: t_doctab type standard table of docs initial size 0,

bin_filesize TYPE i,

w_filename(70) type c.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'

EXPORTING

USE_OTF_MC_CMD = ' '

IMPORTING

BIN_FILESIZE = bin_filesize

OTF = I_otfdata[]

DOCTAB_ARCHIVE = t_doctab[]

LINES = t_lines[]

EXCEPTIONS

ERR_CONV_NOT_POSSIBLE = 1

OTHERS = 3.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

If u ant to save in logical file use following code:

concatenate vbdkr-vbeln '_'

vbdkr-fkdat '_'

vbdkr-kunrg '.pdf' into w_filename.

CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'

EXPORTING

logical_filename = 'ZFILE'

operating_system = sy-opsys

parameter_1 = 'AR'

parameter_2 = 'SEND'

parameter_3 = w_filename

IMPORTING

file_name = w_filename

EXCEPTIONS

file_not_found = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno

EXIT.

If u feel any prob after that thn reply.
