Smartform OTF data table always empty

[Former Member]

Hi,

Whenever I call the below function the OTF table in the job_output_info is always empty. This means I can't proceed to calling FM 'CONVERT_OTF' for convering to PDF.

All the other XML output tables are populated correctly and smartform can be sent via e-mail.  I have seen a good few threads here, some people have said they've solved it themselves without giving the solution, and I saw one that said the Smartform attributes needed to change? I thought setting the getotf flag to 'X' was all I needed.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

  ls_output_options-tdimmed = space.
  ls_output_options-tdnewid = space.
  ls_control_parameters-no_dialog = 'X'.
  ls_control_parameters-getotf = 'X'.
  ls_control_parameters-langu     = sy-langu.
  ls_control_parameters-preview = space.

    CALL FUNCTION l_fm_name
    EXPORTING
      control_parameters = ls_control_parameters
      output_options     = ls_output_options
      user_settings      = space
      ls_input           = gt_detail
      i_count            = l_count
      l_entry            = '10/12'

Hi,

Change the variable

  ls_output_options-tdimmed = 'X'.
  ls_output_options-tdnewid = 'X'.

Are you sure that there is data to output in your parameter ls_output_data. Also did you check sy-subrc after the fm call ? Is it 0 ?

According to SAP Help the otf should Always be filled. Therefore I think you might have no data in otfdata[], because there is nothing to output or an error occurred in the processing of the smartform.

Success at last! I needed to set the below two flags in order for OTF to work. Sai, the reason I don't set the flags you mentioned is because this will all happen in the background so I don't want the print popup. Thanks for the replies

  ls_output_options-xdfcmode = 'X'.
  ls_output_options-xsfcmode = 'X'.

Hi,

DATA:
t_otf TYPE itcoo OCCURS0WITHHEADERLINE,

t_otf_from_fm TYPE ssfcrescl,

w_cparam TYPE ssfctrlop.

w_cparam-getotf = 'X'.

CALL FUNCTION w_fmodule
EXPORTING
* ARCHIVE_INDEX =
* ARCHIVE_INDEX_TAB =
* ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS =
control_parameters = w_cparam
* MAIL_APPL_OBJ =
* MAIL_RECIPIENT =
* MAIL_SENDER =
*output_options = w_outoptions
* USER_SETTINGS = 'X'
IMPORTING
* DOCUMENT_OUTPUT_INFO =
job_output_info = t_otf_from_fm
* JOB_OUTPUT_OPTIONS =
EXCEPTIONS
formatting_error = 1
internal_error = 2
send_error = 3
user_canceled = 4
OTHERS = 5
.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ENDIF.

t_otf[] = t_otf_from_fm-otfdata[].

Hope your problem will be solved....

Thanks
