"OTF end command // missing in OTF data" while con...

Former Member · ‎2014 Apr 17

Hi all,

I am new to smartforms. The smartform is to be converted to PDF and sent as an attachment via email. When I'm executing it from VA03 through the output type (Transmission medium 5), after giving the output device name I can see the smartform output. When I'm pressing the back button

"OTF end command // missing in OTF data" this message is displayed. The mail is coming though but when I'm trying to open the PDF attchment, Adobe reader is showing the following error message

"Adobe Reader could not open 'file.pdf'beacuse it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."

Following is the section of the code for PDF attachment

* Attachment (pdf-Attachment)

i_objpack_temp-transf_bin = 'X'.

i_objpack_temp-head_start = 1.

i_objpack_temp-head_num = 0.

i_objpack_temp-body_start = 1.

DESCRIBE TABLE i_objbin LINES v_lines_bin.

READ TABLE i_objbin INTO i_objbin_temp INDEX v_lines_bin.

i_objpack_temp-doc_size = v_lines_bin * 255 .

i_objpack_temp-body_num = v_lines_bin.

i_objpack_temp-doc_type = 'PDF'.

i_objpack_temp-obj_name = 'SMART'.

i_objpack_temp-obj_descr = 'XYZ'.

APPEND i_objpack_temp TO i_objpack.

CLEAR i_reclist_temp.

Plz suggest what is wrong? Any suggestion will be of great help. Points will be given.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

1. On calling the smart form as below, the st_job_output_info-otfdata should be filled.

*...........................CALL SMARTFORM............................*

CALL FUNCTION v_fm_name

EXPORTING

control_parameters = st_control_parameters

output_options = st_output_options

IMPORTING

document_output_info = st_document_output_info

job_output_info = st_job_output_info

job_output_options = st_job_output_options

EXCEPTIONS

formatting_error = 1

internal_error = 2

send_error = 3

user_canceled = 4

OTHERS = 5.

2. For PDF conversion as below st_job_output_info-otfdata should not be initial. if st_job_output_info-otfdata is empty then the following error will be thrown ""OTF end command // missing in OTF data". Hence in your case please check otfdata is filled after calling the smartform.

*.........................CONVERT TO OTF TO PDF.......................*

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'

IMPORTING

bin_filesize = v_bin_filesize

TABLES

otf = st_job_output_info-otfdata

doctab_archive = it_docs

lines = it_lines

EXCEPTIONS

err_conv_not_possible = 1

err_otf_mc_noendmarker = 2

OTHERS

Hi Priya,

Pass this parameter as below:

i_objpack_temp-doc_size = (v_lines_bin - 1 ) * 255 + strlen( i_objbin ).

Thanks,

Anil

Hi Anand,

What value is to be there in st_job_output_info-otfdata?? By debugging I'm getting st_job_output_info as a deep structure. In which otfdata is a standard table which is blank. And I'm still getting the "OTF end command // missing in OTF data" message.

Please suggest what I need to do. Unable to find the solution.

Regards,

Debapriya

You MUST explicitly ask for an OTF generation if you want to get it in returned parameter.


control_parameters -getotf = 'X'.

Hi Raymond,

Can you please elaborate a bit? By the way the statement that you have shown is used in the program.
