Hi Experts,
Can anybdy please guide me on the feasiblity & possibility of the following requirement:
Variants has to be created for the specific report which needs to be mailed based on the various criteria like cost centers, users, company code etc.
Variant created will be saved as a background job which will be scheduled on weekly basis.
Distribution list to b e used to send these reports generated in pdf format.
All these steps have to be done programmatically.
Kindly guide me.
Thanks

Hi Himayan,
Define a Job for each report variant (transaction SM36). Here you will also find a button 'Spool list recipient'. Create a distribution list with external email adresses and assign the distribution list to the job. Output should be converted to PDF automatically and sent by email.
Regards,
John.

Hi John,
Thanks a lot for ur very valuable input.
Already we are doing this, but this is quite error prone & time consuming job.
That is why we want this functionality to be done automatically thru a ABAP program which will take in the Tcode & dynamic dates.
Any idea whether this can be executed.
Thanks,
Himayan

Hi Himayan,
I'm a bit confused now. You already have a report with several variants right? And you want to automatically run the report with a variant and send the output converted to PDF by email to a selected number of users?
Because there is no job to hold the "relation between report variant and distribution list" you should either create a Z-table or adding the distribution list as a parameter for the report as well (which can only be done for Z-reports).
Then you could write an Abap for submitting the report with the variant output to spool, get the spool object and convert to PDF and then send the converted document to recipients.
Regards,
John.

Something that's happening with this code is that the message class zdd is not defined in my system, so I can't read the messages in the logs.
Do you know how to fix this?
Thanks,
Fernando.
