Problem using RFC to call an adobe form to create pdf file........

Question

Hi,
   I have an RFC that calls an adobe form to display the pdf output back in a bsp page...the RFC fails at the call to the adobe form (next call after after getting the form name) ...while debugging it looks like within this call it is trying to call fpcomp_job_open and failing on the call check_job_open ...
The code in my RFC looks like this....
DATA:
    gs_outputparams  TYPE sfpoutputparams,
    fn_name           TYPE rs38l_fnam,
    fp_docparams      TYPE sfpdocparams,
    fp_formoutput     TYPE fpformoutput,
    frm_result        TYPE sfpjoboutput,
    lv_form           TYPE fpname.
DATA: l_pdf_xstring  TYPE xstring,
       l_pdf_len      TYPE i.
lv_form = 'ZHR_ASSESSMENT_FORM'.
Start formrocessing - OPEN spool job to send to printer
  gs_outputparams-getpdf = 'X'.
  call function 'FP_JOB_OPEN'
    changing
      ie_outputparams = gs_outputparams
    exceptions
      others          = 1.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
*//    RAISE FP Open Error.
      exit.
  ENDIF.
Get name of the generated function module for the form
  CALL FUNCTION 'FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
    EXPORTING
      i_name     = lv_form
    IMPORTING
      e_funcname = fn_name.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
*//    RAISE FP Get Form Module Name Error.
        exit.
  ENDIF.
Call the Adobe Form
  CALL FUNCTION fn_name
  EXPORTING
      /1bcdwb/docparams  = fp_docparams
      gv_appraisal_id = gv_appraisal_id
  IMPORTING
     /1bcdwb/formoutput = fp_formoutput
    EXCEPTIONS
      usage_error        = 1
      system_error       = 2
      internal_error     = 3
      others             = 4.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
*//    RAISE Call Form Module Error.
        perform f_build_message using 'E'
                                  'ZEXT'
                                  012
                            changing return.
       exit.
  ENDIF.
End from processing - Close spool job
  CALL FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_CLOSE'
    IMPORTING
      e_result       = frm_result
    EXCEPTIONS
      usage_error    = 1
      system_error   = 2
      internal_error = 3
      OTHERS         = 4.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
*//    RAISE FP Close Error.
       exit.
  ENDIF.
  form = fp_formoutput-pdf.
Thanks,

Answer 1

what is the solution for this problem? I have the same problem. I get sy-subrc = 1 after CALL FUNCTION 'FPCOMP_JOB_OPEN'.
If I look more in detail I see that "Perform check_job_open" is creating the problem:
FORM check_job_open.
  IF fpstat-is_opened = c_true.  (--> exactly here is the problem. This condition is true so the program is terminated.)
    PERFORM reset_status.
    MESSAGE ID 'FPRUNX' TYPE 'E' NUMBER '101' RAISING usage_error.
  ENDIF.
  fpstat-is_opened  = c_true.
  fpstat-is_started = c_false.
ENDFORM.       
Does somebody know why my job is open and what is the solution to have the job closed at the beginning of my processing?
Thanks in advance.
