GUI_Download: Error opennig the document, file is damaged and could not be repaired

[sachin_s_panchal]

Hi ,

I am using SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY FM to convert the Xstring data to binary data.

And then using GUI_download to generate PDF.

but the generated pdf file is damaged and not able to read it.

Below is the code:

REPORT Z_XSTRING_TO_PDF.

data: data_tab type table of x255,
lv_content TYPE Xstring,
len type i,
filename TYPE STRING.
Filename = 'C:\Users\panchasa\Desktop\test1.pdf'.
"passing the Xstring data to lv_content .
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
EXPORTING
BUFFER = lv_content
* APPEND_TO_TABLE = ' '
IMPORTING
OUTPUT_LENGTH = len
TABLES
BINARY_TAB = data_tab.
.
cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download(

exporting

BIN_FILESIZE = len

filename = FILENAME

filetype = 'BIN'

changing

data_tab = data_tab ).

cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute(
exporting
document = filename ) .

Can you please help me to findout, what I am doing wrong?

Regards,

Sachin.

"using GUI_download to convert it to pdf."

Since when does GUI_download convert data?

Why do you expect it to do so?

In binary mode it simply writes binary data and apparently you write wrong data.

Sorry, that was a typo, i am using GUI_download to generate the PDF file by using the data in "data_tab[]" .

but the generated file is damaged , and not able to open it.
