program will be transparent to users
TABLES
tables:
tsp01.
STRUCTURES
data:
mstr_print_parms like pri_params,
mc_valid(1) type c,
mi_bytecount type i,
mi_length type i,
mi_rqident like tsp01-rqident.
INTERNAL TABLES
data:
mtab_pdf like tline occurs 0 with header line,
mc_filename like rlgrap-filename.
SELECTION SCREEN
parameters:
p_repid like sy-repid, " Report to execute
p_linsz like sy-linsz default 132, " Line size
p_paart like sy-paart default 'X_65_132'. " Paper Format

concatenate 'c:\'
p_repid
'.pdf'
into mc_filename.

Make sure that a printer destination has been set up

if mstr_print_parms-pdest = space.

endif.
Explicitly set line width, and output format so that
the PDF conversion comes out OK

mstr_print_parms-paart = p_paart.
submit (p_repid) to sap-spool without spool dynpro
spool parameters mstr_print_parms
via selection-screen
and return.
Find out what the spool number is that was just created
perform get_spool_number using sy-repid
sy-uname
changing mi_rqident.
