HOW TO USE Class Interface CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I am working to get output of SMARTFORMS through report into PDF file.Following code i am using inside LOOP.

*CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>FILE_SAVE_DIALOG

• EXPORTING

• WINDOW_TITLE =

• DEFAULT_EXTENSION = 'PDF'

• DEFAULT_FILE_NAME = 'PAYSLIP.pdf'

• WITH_ENCODING =

• FILE_FILTER =

• INITIAL_DIRECTORY =

• PROMPT_ON_OVERWRITE = 'X'

• CHANGING

• FILENAME = W_FILE_NAME

• PATH = W_FILE_PATH

• FULLPATH = W_FULL_PATH

• USER_ACTION =

• FILE_ENCODING =

• EXCEPTIONS

• CNTL_ERROR = 1

• ERROR_NO_GUI = 2

• NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_GUI = 3

• others = 4

• .

*IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

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

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

*ENDIF.

*

*CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

• EXPORTING

• BIN_FILESIZE = W_BIN_FILESIZE

• FILENAME = W_FILE_NAME

• FILETYPE = 'BIN'

• TABLES

• DATA_TAB = T_PDF_TAB.

*

*IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

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

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

*ENDIF.

I am getting proper output through the above coding.

But problem is,if there will be a multiple PDF output it always ask the path to save each PDF file as i am using "FILE_SAVE_DIALOG"

I want all PDF files to save at once by giving default path of PC.

How can i do this, is there any other method i can use please

let me know...

Regards,

Ankur

don't use the method FILE_SAVE_DIALOG, instead you can dynamically pass the filepath to the gui_download , if you are sure of the filepath.

if you have multiple files then you can add the counter for the filenames(c:/payslip1.pdf, c:/payslip2.pdf etc )

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download

EXPORTING

• bin_filesize =

filename =

• filetype = 'ASC'

• append = SPACE

• write_field_separator = SPACE

• header = '00'

• trunc_trailing_blanks = SPACE

• write_lf = 'X'

• col_select = SPACE

• col_select_mask = SPACE

• dat_mode = SPACE

• confirm_overwrite = SPACE

• no_auth_check = SPACE

• codepage = SPACE

• ignore_cerr = ABAP_TRUE

• replacement = '#'

• write_bom = SPACE

• wk1_n_format = SPACE

• wk1_n_size = SPACE

• wk1_t_format = SPACE

• wk1_t_size = SPACE

• IMPORTING

• filelength =

changing

data_tab = T_PDF_TAB

.

but the error it is giving that "T_PDF_TAB is not a compatible type".

i think you are using the table with header line, show the table declaration..?

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download

EXPORTING

bin_filesize =

filename = "? where is the filepath

filetype = 'ASC'

append = SPACE

write_field_separator = SPACE

header = '00'

trunc_trailing_blanks = SPACE

write_lf = 'X'

col_select = SPACE

col_select_mask = SPACE

dat_mode = SPACE

confirm_overwrite = SPACE

no_auth_check = SPACE

codepage = SPACE

ignore_cerr = ABAP_TRUE

replacement = '#'

write_bom = SPACE

trunc_trailing_blanks_eol = 'X'

wk1_n_format = SPACE
