Sending PDF data to Spool/Printer

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have created a new device to use device type PDF1.

I am retreiving PDF content from SAP and trying the use the function module 'RSPO_SX_OUTPUT_DEVICEDATA' to send the PDF data to the spool.

I am getting a INTERNAL_SERVER Error.

Here is my function call: -

CALL FUNCTION 'RSPO_SX_OUTPUT_DEVICEDATA'

EXPORTING

* NAME =

dest = p_dest

* SIZE = l_rowbytes

* ROWS = w_lines

* STARTROW = 1

* pages = 1

* RQTITLE =

* RQCOPIES =

* RQOWNER =

datatype = 'RAW'

immediately = space

* IMPORTING

* RQID =

TABLES

device_data = t_hex

* EXCEPTIONS

* NAME_MISSING = 1

* NAME_TWICE = 2

* NOT_FOUND = 3

* ILLEGAL_LAYOUT = 4

* INTERNAL_ERROR = 5

* SIZE_MISMATCH = 6

* OTHERS = 7

.

I have also tried to process a smartform while specifying the output device as my new PDF device, but this appears on the spool as an OTF not a PDF. Should it be a PDF.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Martin,

pls check below code.

IF NOT it_final[] IS INITIAL.       -

---

>IT_FINAL is my main internal table in the report ZSALARY

      DATA : count TYPE syprcop,

         days TYPE sypexpi,

         params TYPE pri_params,

         valid TYPE c,

      pdf_table TYPE  rcl_bag_tline,

      spoolid TYPE rspoid,

      pdf_fsize TYPE  i.

        CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

          EXPORTING

            destination    = 'LP01'

            copies         = count

            list_name      = 'ZSALARY'   -

---

tHIS IS MY REPORT NAME

            list_text      = 'ZSSPOOL'

            immediately    = ' '

            release        = 'X'

            new_list_id    = 'X'

            expiration     = days

            line_size      = 90

            line_count     = 65

            layout         = 'X_PAPER'

            sap_cover_page = 'X'

            receiver       = 'SAP*'

            department     = 'System'

            no_dialog      = 'X'

          IMPORTING

            out_parameters = params

            valid          = valid.

        NEW-PAGE PRINT ON PARAMETERS params NO DIALOG.

        WRITE : 'hi this is the test for spool'.

        NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF.

        COMMIT WORK.

        WRITE : / 'The Spool no is ', sy-spono. "system variable for spool no

        spoolid = sy-spono   .       -

---

At this point i can see the spool no.

        CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'

          EXPORTING

            src_spoolid   = spoolid

            no_dialog     = 'X'

          IMPORTING

            pdf_bytecount = pdf_fsize

          TABLES

            pdf           = pdf_table

          EXCEPTIONS

            OTHERS        = 0.

        CHECK sy-subrc = 0.

I already have the PDF content. I need to use the function module RSPO_SX_OUTPUT_DEVICEDATA to send the PDF content to the spool/printer, but I do not know if I am using it properly.

Do I need to populated the number of pages etc.

Thanks

Hello Martin,

SAP provides a function module ADS_CREATE_PDF_SPOOLJOB, that can put an PDF in the SAP spool system. Example program is FP_TEST_SAVE_PDF_TO_SPOOL.

If not available, check note 0001855522.

Regards

Jürgen
