Converting SAP Script outputs to PDF file

Applies to:
SAP R/3 4.6C – ABAP / SAPSCRIPTS.

Summary
These code snippets explain how to convert single as well as multiple SAP Script output into a single PDF
file to be downloaded in the local system. In the case of multiple SAP Scripts, the outputs are merged into a
single OTF data and then converted to PDF data. This is done without creating any spool request.

Converting Single SAP Script output into PDF file.

Methodology
The SAP Script output is internally represented in OTF format which is normally not visible to the user. This
internal format is accessed in this program by setting the TDGETOTF field of the structure of type ITCPO
and passing the structure to the OPTIONS parameter of the function module OPEN_FORM. To suppress the
dialog box in SAP Script asking for Printer details, the DIALOG parameter of OPEN_FORM is assigned to
SPACE. The SAP Script is generated using the Function modules START_FORM, WRITE_FORM and
END_FORM.

In the function module CLOSE_FORM, the OTF output for the SAPscript is obtained in the Tables
parameter OTFDATA by assigning an internal table of structure type ITCOO. This internal table data is
converted to PDF data using the function module CONVERT_OTF, which will also return the size of PDF
data. This PDF data is generated in an internal table of Structure type TLINE. The PDF data is downloaded
into a PDF file in the local system using the Function module GUI_DOWNLOAD. The path where the file
will be downloaded is taken as user input using the method FILE_SAVE_DIALOG of the class
CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

Converting Multiple SAP Script outputs into single PDF file.

Methodology
The methodology adopted for this is similar to previous case except that multiple SAPScript outputs are
merged into a single OTF data which is then converted to PDF file. Between function modules
OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM, for each SAP Script a set of 3 function modules START_FORM,
WRITE_FORM and END_FORM is used. In the function module START_FORM the name of
corresponding SAPScript is specified. The merged OTF data for multiple SAPScripts is obtained in the
Tables parameter OTFDATA of the function module CLOSE_FORM. This is converted to PDF data using
similar method as explained in the previous case.
