Get OTF data of an SAP SCRIPT

Hi,
I have a situation where I have to call a standard report from my custom report which is based on some condition.
This is fine. But the standard report which I am calling is print program of an SAP Script.
So, the requirement now is that my custom report should be able to send an email of the SAP Script output. For this I need to have the OTF data of the SAP Script in my custom report.
How to get this?
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Sandeep

How Can we get the data from Non-SAP to SAP in WebDynpro

Hi,
I hope u understand my query, How can we get the data from Non-SAP to SAP thru WebDynpro Programming.
Help out with the steps for getting the data or procedure.
Regards,
Mutyapu

You can expose the APIs in the Non-SAP backend as Web Services, and consume them in SAP by creating an Enterprise Proxy. Then these can be called just like normal class methods from Web Dynpro.

Get no. of lines in sap script

I am using Command 'Address / End address' in sap script for printing address.
How do I get the Number of Lines we get from this command.

/: ADDRESS [DELIVERY] [TYPE t] [PARAGRAPH a] [PRIORITY p] [LINES l]
/: ENDADDRESS
LINES
This specifies how many lines may be used for formatting the address.
If there are too few lines available to allow all the address data to be formatted,
then the data specified in the PRIORITY parameter are omitted.
If there is no LINES parameter and if this command is in a layout set window of
a type other than MAIN, then the number of lines available for formatting
the address are automatically calculated based on the current output position
and the size of the window.

Display data vertically using sap script

Hi Developers,
Is there any way to display data vertically in a form using sap script?
thanx in advance,
binu

Hi Binu,
It is not possible to rotate text in SAPscript. The usual work-around, provided this is static text and not from a variable, is to scan an image of the text and include it as a graphic.

Getting the error in the sap script

Hi,
I am running the Tcode f.26, which uses the standard sap script named F_DUZI_01. When running I am getting the error:
Element 0031 window INFO is not defined for
F_DUZI_01
Please suggest what should i do or what could be the reason behind the problem.

Hi,
Check the Script whether that element is being used or not. Such errors raise when you called the elements in the program without delcaring in the script.
Please close the thread, if solved

Date printing in SAP SCRIPT

hi friends,
I am workin in sap script, here i had used
PERFORM GET_DATE IN PROGRAM ZTEST
USING &EKPO-EBELN&
USING &EKPO-EBELP&
CHANGING &DEL_DATE&
ENDPERFORM
AND in subroutine program i had writen logic to fetch date,
but when I am printing date in my script, it is printed in format yyyymmdd, and i wan it in dd.mm.yyyy
so is there any standard way i can do it?

hi,
CONVERSION_EXIT_PDATE_OUTPUT , use this function module
or
Write the below code in your subroutine
DATA : wa_date(8) ,
wa_date1(10).
wa_date = sy-datum.
CONCATENATE wa_date+6(2) WA_DATE+4(2) wa_date+0(4) INTO wa_date1 SEPARATED by '.'.
WRITE wa_date1.
Thanks & Regards

Get OTF data for a sales order document

I have a problem in getting the information of the created sales order document number as OTF data. I need this OTF data so to convert into PDF format using function module 'CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF'. My situation is i am keeping a parameter for sales order document number . when i execute the report after giving a sales order document number, i should get the OTF data .

Hi!
Firstly you have to define what technique is used for creation of sales order as printed document - smartform or sapscript. Then proceed as follows.
In case of smartform:
CALL FUNCTION 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
EXPORTING
formname = 'ZFORMNAME'
IMPORTING
fm_name = v_form_name
EXCEPTIONS
no_form = 1
no_function_module = 2
OTHERS = 3.
w_ctrlop-getotf = 'X'.
w_ctrlop-no_dialog = 'X'.
w_compop-tdnoprev = 'X'.
CALL FUNCTION v_form_name
EXPORTING
control_parameters = w_ctrlop
output_options = w_compop
user_settings = 'X'
IMPORTING
job_output_info = w_return
EXCEPTIONS
formatting_error = 1
internal_error = 2
send_error = 3
user_canceled = 4
OTHERS = 5.
i_otf[] = w_return-otfdata[].
In case of sapscript:
options-tdgetotf = 'X'.
CALL FUNCTION 'OPEN_FORM'
EXPORTING
options = options
CALL FUNCTION 'CLOSE_FORM'
IMPORTING
RESULT                         =
RDI_RESULT                     =
   TABLES
     otfdata                        = i_otf
   EXCEPTIONS
     unopened                       = 1
     bad_pageformat_for_print       = 2
     send_error                     = 3
     spool_error                    = 4
     OTHERS                         = 5.

Getting OTF data of an SAPscript

Hello Experts,
        Right now, I am receiving the OTF data from the combination of the Function Modules 'OPEN_FORM' and 'CLOSE_FORM' and the mail is already being sent by these function modules and the document is being archived. The transmission medium is External Send i.e. 5. However my new requirement is the subject line of the mail should be as high as 255 chars. So now I wish to restrict the use of OPEN_FORM and CLOSE_FORM only for archiving and Print Preview and send the mail using CL_BCS, which allows me the subject length of 255 chars.
         I want to retrieve the OTF data. I know we can do that by setting the parameter itcpo-tdgetotf and get the OTF table at CLOSE_FORM. However, I have noticed that when I set the tdgetotf parameter, the archiving is not taking place, which again will be an issue. Is there some other way of retrieving OTF data. I cam acroos function modules such as CONVERT_OTF and CONVERT_OTF_MEMORY. But no use.
        So in short, I just want to get the OTF data. Other all things are working for me now, and from what I have found out, I cannot use TDGETOTF and archiving in the same OPEN_FORM.
        Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Shaheen

Hi ssm,
   the problem has been rectified. thanks for your inputs. i remodelled my programming. i set the tdgetotf and got the otf table from there. and used CONVERT_OTF_AND_ARCHIVE for archiving. it works great.
thanks again all...
Emanuel, are you interested to know how am I doing it or you were asking it to answer my question? let me know, in case if you want to, i will share my 2 cents of knowledge.

Smartform printing + Get OTF Data

Hello, i have a problem with smartforms. I need to both print the smartforms and get the OTF Data in order to save it to disk and email it. But if I mark the getotf check in control parameters, it doesn't print. In fact the description for that field says: Return of OTF table. No printing, display, or faxing.
Is there a way to get both the printed version and the OTF Data without having to call the Smartforms function module twice with different control parameters?
Thanks in advance.

Urgent ......regarding date format in SAP Script

In my MAIN WINDOW I have date fields like Date of Manifacture, created date and Expiry date.
So, currently I am using SET DATE MASK = 'YYYY-MM' and it is printing same format for all fields.
But now my requirement is I want to show date for Expiry Date like 'YYYY-MM-DD'. For this I defined one temparary variable in the form like below
DEFINE &outdate& = &mchar-vfdat&
SET &outdate& MASK = 'YYYY-MM-DD'.
but still it is showing format YYYY-MM...
Plz help me how to print my desired date format...
I am waiting for ur reply...
Regards,
Kumar

Hi Kishore kumar,
What you can do is befor printing the Expiry date set the date Mask as 'YYYY-MM-DD' and after printing your Expiry Date again set the DATE MASK to 'YYYY-MM'
i.e.
/: SET DATE MASK = 'YYYY-MM-DD'
&mchar-vfdat&
/: SET DATE MASK = 'YYYY-MM'

Two spool getting generated for a single SAP script

Hi ABAPers,
I have a SAPscript development. This is a PO form for India. When I do a "Trial printout" in ME9K I see that two spools are generated. This is my first problem as till last week only one spool was getting generated. Only spool should be generated.
My second problem is that, the second spool which is generated has texts shown in some different language than English (my form only exists in language EN which is the orginal one too). When I debugged this whole thing, on the second run of the debugger (i.e. when the second spool is generated), when the control goes to a text in one of the windows, that text is shown in some other language (in debug mode also). Please note that the standard text is a Global standard text and it exists in around 6 languages.
I guess if only one spool is generated then my second problem would be solved. But then why are 2 spools generated in the first place?
If anyone has came across similar kind of problem please help. Thanks in advance.
regards,
Prakhar

Hi,
Check this..
1. Go to txn. NACE... select application "EF"... then click on "Condition Records" button
2. Select your Output Types...(ex. NEU)....
3. Go to Change condtion Record Screen. Select ur condtion then click on "communication" button..
4. Under Print Output Check the field "Number of Message" if it is 2 then delete it.

How to get both OTF data and spool at a time

Hi Experts,
My requirement is to get both OTF data and spool.
In 'OPEN_FORM' i tried passing itcpo-TDGETOTF = 'X'. itcpo- TDNEWID = 'X'.
I was able to get OTF data but spool is not getting generated.
IF i pass only itcpo- TDNEWID = 'X'. the spool is getting generated but not OTF data.
when both the fields are set i.e. itcpo-TDGETOTF = 'X'. itcpo- TDNEWID = 'X'.
the spool is generation is getting supressed.
Similarly when i tried to get OTF data by passing itcpo-TDGETOTF = 'X'. to 'OPEN_FORM' as i need to convert it to PDF and send it to vendors as email ,
The print preview in TCODE ME23n was not getting generated for 'MESSAGE' option 'External send'.
Please suggest me how to get both OTF data and spool at a time.

Hi Kartik,
This one is similar to my question to print and email invoice at same time. I pass itcpo-tdgetotf = 'X' in order to get otfdata and send email with the attachment of otfdata.
Now I have data in otfdata, but when I call print_otf function, I clear out itcpo-tdgetotf, and passed
itcpo-tddest = device_type but I still get error message said 'Handler not valid for open spool request'.
Can you give me a working example that you have otfdata table and print data from that table. I also post my question on other thread
submit report and export to memory
thanks
