sapscript spool number for pdf conversion after script goes to printer

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I am working on SAPscript. The print program I am using is RM08NAST for printing ERS SAPscript.

The routine MRM_ENTRY_ERS under that program does all the data selection and printing of script.

Now the functional team wants to get the OTF format converted in pdf.

(<b>Note: I know how to convert the things in pdf. So please don't provide with links which shows pdf conversion. My problem is different)</b>

I cannot use any pdf converison function module because then I have to change the standard function module MRM_ENTRY_ERS which is not good idea because its very complex.

So I am planning to use the pdf conversion function module CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF immediately after the MRM_ENTRY_ERS.

1) But I need the spool number then ? How do I get it.

2) I guess as soon as the MRM_ENTRY_ERS gets executed the Script will get displayed or get printed on printer.

So if I am using the function module CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF after routine MRM_ENTRY_ERS, if I want to save that pdf what do I do ?

Thanks.

Regards,

Tushar.

Hi,

You can use the following code, once you get the spoolid...

You can get that, by date and time stamp, just immediately after the MRM_ENTRY_ERS.

Hi Raj,

After I get the conversion done in pdf format, I need a small dialog pop up which will say where you want to save the converted pdf file and the pdf converted file should get saved there. How do I achieve this ? This might be a basic ABAP question, but please help...
