Spool Id with error "OTF end command // missing in OTF dat"

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I searched a lot about this error in SDN But i could not get a clear solution...

I am having a SAP Script and i have generated the spool request through OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM

Converted that to PDF using CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF...

But when i try to trigger a mail...

Throwing error "OTF end command // missing in OTF dat"....

Kindly, let me know how should i generate or get the spool id so as to pass this spool id to CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF

to avoid this error...

Is CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF FM a must to use instaed of CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF...

If that is the case how can i capture the spool id to pass that in CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF....

I tried the below...But still i could not get the spool id........

DATA : wa_result LIKE itcpp.

• OPEN FORM ZTERMSANDCONDITIONS FOR CREATING SPOOL #

CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'

EXPORTING

device = 'PRINTER'

dialog = ' '

form = 'ZTERMSANDCOND'

OPTIONS = wa_options

IMPORTING

RESULT = wa_result.

CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'

IMPORTING

RESULT = wa_result

"The spool number generated is avaialable in wa_result-tdspoolid.

"now call the below function module to generate PDF from Spool.

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTFSPOOLJOB_2_PDF'

EXPORTING

src_spoolid = wa_result-tdspoolid "THis is Spool number field in the open form and Close form..

no_dialog = 'X'.

Waiting for your replies....

Generally Spool id is returned in CLOSE_FORM

DATA WA_RESULT TYPE ITCPP .
CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
  IMPORTING
    RESULT   = WA_RESULT .
 
WRITE WA_RESULT-TDSPOOLID .

Then pass the spool no to convert_otf fm

Hello all,

Thanks a lot for helping me...

Solved that problem myself....

Should use start and end forms between open and close forms and then use the function module

CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF and then trigger this pdf as mail....

SDN Rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
