Hi SAPGURUS

    Hi,

    Refer thread

    alv-list-as-pdf

    DATA: lt_pdfdata LIKE TABLE OF tline WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: lt_otf TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF itcoo WITH HEADER LINE,
lt_doctab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF docs WITH HEADER LINE,
lt_otfdata TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF itcoo WITH HEADER LINE.

*-- Convert the OTF data to PDF data
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'
EXPORTING
use_otf_mc_cmd = 'X'
IMPORTING
bin_filesize = v_bin
TABLES
otf = lt_otf
doctab_archive = it_doctab
lines = lt_pdfdata
EXCEPTIONS
err_conv_not_possible = 1
err_otf_mc_noendmarker = 2
OTHERS = 3.

    This is an alternative SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PDF

      Hi,

      first of all thanks for your help but could you please explain why we use:-

      DATA: lt_pdfdata LIKE TABLE OF tline WITH HEADER LINE.

      DATA: lt_otf TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF itcoo WITH HEADER LINE,

      lt_doctab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF docs WITH HEADER LINE,

      lt_otfdata TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF itcoo WITH HEADER LINE.

      and what is the use of <b>tline</b>.

      Right now i have taken an internal table and then fill it using GUI_UPLOAD FM.

      After this i m using this internal table and passing it to function 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'.

      IS my approch right please help me i am not able to understand the concept of how to use this FM.

    You can use this custom FM...You must convert your text file to a spool request and call the FM -:)

    *"----------------------------------------------------------
*"*"Interfase local
*"  IMPORTING
*"     REFERENCE(FILENAME) TYPE  STRING
*"----------------------------------------------------------

    SELECT RQIDENT
    INTO (T_TSP01-RQIDENT)
    FROM TSP01
    WHERE RQOWNER EQ SY-UNAME
      AND RQCLIENT EQ SY-MANDT.
    APPEND T_TSP01.
    ENDSELECT.

    SORT T_TSP01 DESCENDING.

    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'
         EXPORTING
              SRC_SPOOLID              = T_TSP01-RQIDENT

              BTC_JOBNAME              = JOBNAME
              BTC_JOBCOUNT             = JOBCOUNT
         TABLES

    IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.

      CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
           EXPORTING
                BIN_FILESIZE            = NUMBYTES

      IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
        DELETE FROM TSP01 WHERE RQIDENT EQ T_TSP01-RQIDENT.
      ENDIF.

    ENDIF.

  ENDFUNCTION.
