Hi All,

I need to convert the script output to a text file.

Dear TIA,

When you preview the script output on screen follow the below instruction to get same output in text file.

1. On Menu - GOTO - List Display.

2. It will change to normal list display.

3. On Menu - SYSTEM - LIST - SAVE - LOCALFILE

4. Select unconverted and press enter.

5. Give the filename and path and click on generate

6. Your text file is created.

Enjoy SAP !

Hi Binita:

Try this..

Step I:

Do Print Preview of the SAP Document. Then do Goto>>>List Display

Step 2:

Then save it to a Local File.

If you want to do it programatically then you may have to create the spool first and then read the spool to convert it to a text file.Remember when you do a text file you will loose your formatting.Alternatively, there is a program RSTXPDFT4 to convert Spool to PDF.You issue the output, create the spool and then execute this program with the spool number and save it as a PDF File.

Hope this answers your question.

If you can help me in this and also what function to be added in SAP Script program to send it to SAP Mail Box.

Thanks & waiting for your reply,
