Hi All,
My requirement is to download the Sales Order forms and save it in local system.
I have created a custom program where I am passing a range of Sales Order no, Partner Function, Output type and Application as my input in selection screen.
Logic:
I am calling my Sales Order Abodeform using the FM: 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' and thereby I got the function module name of my form.
Then I am calling the FM:
Input to the FM:
ls_outputparams-nodialog = abap_true.
ls_outputparams-authority = 'X'.
ls_outputparams-getpdf = 'X'.
ls_outputparams-dest = 'LP03'.
ls_outputparams-nopreview = abap_true.
ls_outputparams-reqimm = abap_true.
CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
CHANGING
ie_outputparams = ls_outputparams
EXCEPTIONS
cancel = 1
usage_error = 2
system_error = 3
internal_error = 4
OTHERS = 5.
followed by, CALL FUNCTION (FM name)
EXPORTING
archive_index = toa_dara
archive_parameters = arc_params
control_parameters = ls_control_param
mail_recipient = ls_recipient
mail_sender = ls_sender
/
_ _
output_options = ls_output_param
user_settings = ' '
is_nast = nast
is_vbdka = vbdka
is_addres = addr_key
IMPORTING
document_output_info = document_output_info
job_output_info = job_output_info
job_output_options = job_output_options
TABLES
it_vbdpa = tvbdpa "Item information
it_vbdpau = tvbdpau "Subitem numbers
it_vedpa = tkomservp "Contract Item Validity
it_vedka = tkomservh "Contract Header Validity
it_vedpn = tkomservpn "Contract Item Cancellation Data
it_vedkn = tkomservhn "Contract Header Cancellation DA
EXCEPTIONS
formatting_error = 1
internal_error = 2
send_error = 3
user_canceled = 4
OTHERS = 5.
then , CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_CLOSE'
IMPORTING
e_result = ls_result
EXCEPTIONS
usage_error = 1
system_error = 2
internal_error = 3
OTHERS = 4.
then i am using the below FM to get the OTF data if any available.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
EXPORTING
format = 'PDF'
IMPORTING
bin_ lesize = lv_bin lesize
bin_ le = lv_bin_ le
TABLES
otf = ls_output_info-otfdata-> i am not sure which data to pass here. i am getting sy-subrc value as 4.
lines = lt_lines
/
_
EXCEPTIONS
err_max_linewidth = 1
err_format = 2
err_conv_not_possible = 3
err_bad_otf = 4
OTHERS = 5.
Now I dont no how to link the PDF forms to below method.
CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
EXPORTING
bin_ lesize = v_size
lename = D://x.pdf (http://x.pdf)
letype = 'BIN'
CHANGING
data_tab = lt_pdf.
Because in smartforms, we will convert the OTF output to PDF and that value is passed to GUI_DOWNLOAD FM as input (lt_pdf) , whereas in adobeforms the output itself is in PDF
so i dont how to retreive the values from adobeforms and pass it to the above FM, so that I can save 'N' no. of sales order outputs in one PDF le.
Kindly help me out in this.
Thanks & Regards,
Karthikeyan G.

The parameters you are passing to function module (FM Name) does not look right. Are you sure you have an Adobe Form? (The correct paramaters can be found in

The exporting parameter of the function module is /1bcdwb/formoutput. It contains a rawstring named PDF. You can convert the rawstring to binary by calling function
module SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY. Once you have it in binary you can call function module gui_download as usual, and it will be saved as a PDF le on yor local system.
Hope that helps.

Hi Eric,
I tried using the FM to convert Xstring to binary, Now I can able to save the documents, but I can able to save the last Sales Order no if I am giving a range of Sales Order Nos as input.
Data: gt_pdf_ le TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF solix_tab.
In Debug mode, I can see all the inputs Xstring data is converted into Binary format. I passed the table directly in GUI FM where I stored the converted values, I got a dump. So I looped the table and I
passed using a workarea, but only the last sales order output is getting saved. kindly share your ideas.
Thanks & Regards,
Karthikeyan G.

Remove the LOOP AT gt_pdf_ le.
Pass the gt_pdf_ le to GUI_DOWNLOAD and you should be golden 😊

Hi Vishnu,
I dont what should be the input provided for the function module CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF', because by calling FM 'Formname' I am having the PDF string stored in /1bcdwb/formoutput -pdf,
then using function module, SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY I am converting the Xstring into binary format. Can you guide me on this?
Thanks & Regards,
Karthikeyan G.
