Can I send data between ABAP and Adobe lifecycle

[Former Member]

I have ABAP app which makes forms for printing. How can I send/log/etc. possible run-time errors back to ABAP code? F.ex. I have text that is 1000 chars long. Sometimes I need to hide some part of the text area but I would need to inform user that part of the text in text area is hidden and whole text might not be shown but this message should go back to ABAP and not shown run-time. In other words can I return some values back to calling program or log information about the errors / warning somewhere?

Hi Susan,

ABAP APP?

1. Are you using any gateway service to pass and populate the data into Adobe form?
2. Is this service interanlly calls the ABAP report or Invokes the ADOBE Form to pass the data? If yes then below would be one of the possible solutions

I guess in this case you might have already a report that opens the job passes the needed informaiton to the Adobe form to print and display the informaiton. The the answer lies here, Within the report if you validate the length of the text (for example) that itself lgically speaking you have to populate a message back to gateway service. In this way you can handle all the validations.

As per my understanding all the form calc or java script errors cannot be populated back to the ABAP report. But they can be displayed as popup within the Adobe form That too I guess if it is a dynamic form. not a static form or printable form.
