[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a requirement to do the following:

Create a background job with some specific transactions and output to spool. Then take this output and write it to a specific shared directory in the users PC.

Hi,

try that:

1) fm job_open

2) submit your_report

... TO SAP-SPOOL

3) job_close

4) fm list_from_memory

5) fm CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF (look abap RSTXPDFT4)

/or fm LIST_TO_ASCI and fm gui_download

Hi,

Another way:

....

call function 'CLOSE_FORM'

TABLES

otfdata = ZOFTDATA

EXCEPTIONS

ERR_MAX_LINEWIDTH

=1

ERR_FORMAT = 2

ERR_CONV_NOT_POSSIBLE = 3.

call function 'CONVERT_OTF'

EXPORTING

FORMAT = 'PDF'

MAX_LINEWIDTH = 132

IMPORTING

BIN_FILESIZE = NUMBYTES

TABLES

OTF = ZOFTDATA

LINES = ZPDF

EXCEPTIONS

ERR_MAX_LINEWIDTH = 1

ERR_FORMAT = 2

ERR_CONV_NOT_POSSIBLE = 3.

CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

EXPORTING

BIN_FILESIZE = NUMBYTES

FILENAME = FILE

FILETYPE = 'BIN'

IMPORTING

FILESIZE = NUMBYTES

TABLES

DATA_TAB = ZPDF

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 9.

You should keep in mind that FM 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' can not be used in background. To store a file in background you should use DATASET.
