Convert to PDF, Save and Print SAP Script

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I have a requirement to convert SAP script output to PDF format and save the same to local sytem as well get print immediately as soon as user executes VL03N by choosing output type

I have developed a Script and converted the the output to PDF using FM 'CONVERT_OTF'.

using method cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_save_dialog for TAKING THE DOWNLOAD FILE PATH AS USER INPUT

using FM 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' for DOWNLOADING THE PDF DATA to local system.

with this I am able to save the document to local system with PDF format where as I am not getting hard copy print from the printer.

can any one tell me if I need to add anything else to get Save and Print the document immediately as soon as user chooses the path to save

Thanks in Advance

Venkat

You can do this by

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>execute
EXPORTING
application = 'AcroRd32.exe'
parameter = '/p /h C:	est.pdf'   .

or look into the class CL_GUI_PDFVIEWER and method PRINT

Venkatesh,

The FM "GUI_DOWNLOAD" is just used to download and save the script. For printing the script you can use the following FM "OPEN_FORM" as

CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'

EXPORTING FORM = SPACE

LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU

DEVICE = 'PRINTER'

DIALOG = 'X'

OPTIONS = SPACE

APPLICATION = 'TX'

ARCHIVE_INDEX = SPACE

ARCHIVE_PARAMS = SPACE

IMPORTING LANGUAGE =

RESULT =

NEW_ARCHIVE_PARAMS =

EXCEPTIONS CANCELED =

DEVICE =

FORM =

OPTIONS =

UNCLOSED =

If it doesn't work there might be a printer issue in your case.

I have already used FMs as shown in the below order

OPEN_FORM

call function 'OPEN_FORM'

exporting

• APPLICATION = 'TX'

• ARCHIVE_INDEX =

• ARCHIVE_PARAMS =

device = 'PRINTER'

dialog = 'X'

form = p_formname

language = SY-LANGU

options = struct

exceptions

canceled = 1

device = 2

form = 3

options = 4

unclosed = 5

mail_options = 6

archive_error = 7

invalid_fax_number = 8

more_params_needed_in_batch = 9

spool_error = 10

codepage = 11

others = 12

.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

endif.

endform. " OPEN_FORM_NAST

START_FORM

WRITE_FORM

END_FORM

CLOSE_FORM

CONVERT_OTF

call method cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_save_dialog

GUI_DOWNLOAD

you mean I have to again call FM 'OPEN_FORM' to print is it?

If you had already used it it should work. Try using it again, also check the printer settings or else there might be a printer issue.

let meknow if it wont work.
