Convert Smartform into PDF

Here I’m trying to explain how to convert a smartform into a PDF and download.

All the below steps contains only sample codes and are self explanatory, so I’m not going into details of every step.

Prerequisites: You need to know how to call the smartform FM from ur driver program and all. Although you can find the same from the step 1.

If u r running out of time then u can go through the step 3 only.

Step 1.

  CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
    EXPORTING
      formname           = 'Z_SMARTFORM_NAME'   

    IMPORTING
      fm_name            = v_fm_name
    EXCEPTIONS
      no_form            = 1
      no_function_module = 2
      OTHERS             = 3.

Step 2.

  CALL FUNCTION lc_fm_name
    EXPORTING
      control_parameters = s_control_par

    .

    .

    IMPORTING
      job_output_info    = s_job_output
    TABLES

    .

    .

    EXCEPTIONS
      formatting_error   = 1
      internal_error     = 2
      send_error         = 3
      user_canceled      = 4
      OTHERS             = 5.

Step 3.

Use the s_job_output-otfdata[] from the previous step into the OTF table parameter in the FM'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'.

    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'
      IMPORTING
        bin_filesize           = bin_filesize
      TABLES
        otf                    = s_job_output-otfdata[]
        doctab_archive         = doctab_archive
        lines                  = t_file_pdf
      EXCEPTIONS
        err_conv_not_possible  = 1
        err_otf_mc_noendmarker = 2
        OTHERS                 = 3.

Step 4.

      CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog
        EXPORTING
          window_title            = 'Open file'
          default_extension       = '*.pdf'
        CHANGING
          file_table              = file_table[]
          rc                      = rc
          user_action             = user_action
        EXCEPTIONS
          file_open_dialog_failed = 1
          cntl_error              = 2
          error_no_gui            = 3
          OTHERS                  = 4.

Step 5.

      IF user_action = 9. EXIT. ENDIF.
      IF rc = 1.
        READ TABLE file_table INDEX 1.
      ENDIF.

     MOVE file_table-filename TO filename.

      CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>gui_download
        EXPORTING
          bin_filesize            = bin_filesize
          filename                = filename
          filetype                = 'BIN'
        CHANGING
          data_tab                = t_file_pdf
        EXCEPTIONS
          file_write_error        = 1
          no_batch                = 2
          gui_refuse_filetransfer = 3
          invalid_type            = 4
          no_authority            = 5
          unknown_error           = 6
          header_not_allowed      = 7
          separator_not_allowed   = 8
          filesize_not_allowed    = 9
          header_too_long         = 10
          dp_error_create         = 11
          dp_error_send           = 12
          dp_error_write          = 13
          unknown_dp_error        = 14
          access_denied           = 15
          dp_out_of_memory        = 16
          disk_full               = 17
          dp_timeout              = 18
          file_not_found          = 19
          dataprovider_exception  = 20
          control_flush_error     = 21
          OTHERS                  = 22.
