Hi,

Before creating PDF file, you should transfer internal table data to Application server using "DATASET".

REPORT ZKUN_DEL1 .

data : begin of warea ,

a type i,

b type c,

m type i,

end of warea.

Data : j type i.

Data itab like table of warea with header line.

j = 5 .

while j > 0.

itab-a = itab-a + 1.

itab-b = 'b'.

itab-m = itab-m + 1.

append itab.

j = j - 1.

endwhile.

OPEN DATASET dsn FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

" opens a file for writing; if the file is not thr in the working direct

"ory it will create one with the same name.

LOOP AT itab.

concatenate itab-fname itab-lname itab-place into rec separated by space

.

TRANSFER rec TO dsn.

rec = ''.

ENDLOOP.

CLOSE DATASET dsn.

rec = ''.

OPEN DATASET dsn FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.

" opens the file for reading only.

*READ DATASET dsn INTO rec.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

message i005(zmsg_kunal).

ENDIF.

*write rec.

*

WHILE sy-subrc = 0.

WRITE / rec. READ DATASET dsn INTO rec.

ENDWHILE.

• EXIT.

CLOSE DATASET dsn.

Hi ,

Thanks for the reply. I am not converting internal table to PDF. I have an PDF in Application Server (AL11) . I want to print that document. I am able to get the data into my program using open dataset for input in binary MODE. But How to print that data to a printer.

Thanks,

Vamsee

To print PDF to a SAP printer is not directly possible but to a frontend printer will be. See [Print PDF file directly to store printer|].
