Replacement for CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF

Hi SAPiens,

I am looking for a replacement for the function module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF, as I like to manipulate the spool data first before generating the PDF.

It is easy to convert an OTF to PDF, but in this case I have an ALI (ABAP List) format. Obviously the function CONVERT_OTF does not work here.

I read the spool data with CALL FUNCTION 'RSPO_RETURN_ABAP_SPOOLJOB_RAW' into the memory (currently into a field of type SOLI_TAB). How can I generate a PDF in e.g. xstring format from that?

Any help is appreciated!

Kind regards

Torsten

Hi there,

I have this issue too. My spool result(Rmuneration Statements written out in list). After using the FM 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF', I need to convert the result table from the FM into XString to be displayed on mywebdynpro page. The convert_otf FM do not work in mycase too. Torsten, you manage to found a solution for your problem yet?
