did you try the system variable SY-SPONO? & then pass the spool id to the function call 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF' ?

Hello Alok,

If you are looking for spool number with a program then u can check syst-spono which has the spool number.

see the std report RSTXPDFT4 to convert spool to pdf

If you want to go to PDF, there is another approach. There are SAP functions to convert SPOOL to PDF. They are CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF and CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF. What you can do here is schedule your report as one step in a job and then your post processing as another step. You can use GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFO to get the jobcount and jobname of the currently running job. You can then read back in table TBTCP to get the spool list number (listident) of a previous step.

Example:

clear jselect.

jselect-jobname = ''.

jselect-username = '*'.

****Have this program get its own Job Name

call function 'GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFO'

importing

• EVENTID =

• EVENTPARM =

• EXTERNAL_PROGRAM_ACTIVE =

jobcount = jselect-jobcount

jobname = jselect-jobname

• STEPCOUNT =

exceptions

no_runtime_info = 1

others = 2.

****Read the spool number for this job step.

clear tbtcp.

select single listident from tbtcp

into tbtcp-listident

where jobname = jselect-jobname

and jobcount = jselect-jobcount

and stepcount = step.

if tbtcp-listident = 0.

message i009 with step.

endif.

data: spool_id like tsp01-rqident.

move tbtcp-listident to spool_id.

****Is this ABAP List Processing?

if abap = 'X'.

call function 'CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'

exporting

src_spoolid = spool_id

• NO_DIALOG =

• DST_DEVICE =

• PDF_DESTINATION =

• IMPORTING

• PDF_BYTECOUNT =

• PDF_SPOOLID =

• LIST_PAGECOUNT =

• BTC_JOBNAME =

• BTC_JOBCOUNT =

tables

pdf = ipdf

exceptions

err_no_abap_spooljob = 1

err_no_spooljob = 2

err_no_permission = 3

err_conv_not_possible = 4

err_bad_destdevice = 5

user_cancelled = 6

err_spoolerror = 7

err_temseerror = 8

err_btcjob_open_failed = 9

err_btcjob_submit_failed = 10

err_btcjob_close_failed = 11

others = 12.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

message i016 with sy-subrc.

endif.

else.

****Or is this SAPscript?

call function 'CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'

exporting

src_spoolid = spool_id

• NO_DIALOG =

• DST_DEVICE =

• PDF_DESTINATION =

• IMPORTING

• PDF_BYTECOUNT =

• PDF_SPOOLID =

• OTF_PAGECOUNT =

• BTC_JOBNAME =

• BTC_JOBCOUNT =

tables

pdf = ipdf

exceptions

err_no_otf_spooljob = 1

err_no_spooljob = 2

err_no_permission = 3

err_conv_not_possible = 4

err_bad_dstdevice = 5

user_cancelled = 6

err_spoolerror = 7

err_temseerror = 8

err_btcjob_open_failed = 9

err_btcjob_submit_failed = 10

err_btcjob_close_failed = 11

others = 12.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

message i016 with sy-subrc.

endif.

endif.

within the same program if you are calling FM

GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS with new-page print on parameters wf_params no dialog. and write statements to create the spool then simply refer to sy-spono , it will have the spool created by your program

Check the following Code

Save Report Output to a PDF File

This report takes another report as input, and captures the output of that report. The output is then converted to

PDF and saved to a local file. This shows how to use some of the PDF function modules, as well as an easy way to

create PDF files.

Hi,

Try this :To get spool number.

DATA : lv_spool_no TYPE TSP01-RQIDENT .

SELECT RQIDENT into lv_spool_no

UP TO 1 ROWS

FROM TSP01

• WHERE "Put some restriction ..like last 5 days, to improve performance

ORDER BY RQCRETIME DESCENDING.

ENDSELECT.

<b>Convert spool to PDF:</b>

SAP have created a standard program RSTXPDFT4 to convert your report spools into a PDF format.

Specify the spool number and you will be able to download the spool into your local harddisk.
