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.

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.

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:

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.

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

Get infotype data in e-mail/sapscript - Dynamic action-

Hello,
we developed a dynamic action sending a mail if an employee leave the company.
We can catch data in infotype 0000 and 0001 in the sapscript used in the mail, but we would like also fetch data from other infotypes.
We tried to generate an ABAP code from an ad hoc query, but it was impossible to get the return tables in the sapscript.
Are there other solutions to get infotype data in saps scripts?
Kr,

Hi ,
you can follow the below solution .
1. Create a custom report for the leaving/terminated employees by using the action in infotype 0000 with field massn, massg.
2. you will get all the employees from table pa0000 who are laving between a date interval .
3. by using the personnel numbers from pa0000 get other infotypes information.
4. create a smartform/script for your requirement.
5. using the program you can send the data to the employees.
another way .
if you know the name of the script you can create some variables for the other fields from other infotypes in that script and you can populate the variable values using perform in program command using a custom program in that script.

Create Spool From OTF Data

Hi all,
Is there any way of creating a spool request or printing OTF data directly from an internal table.
Scenario is that I have read a spool request with multiple pages into OTF format and now have an internal table with OTF data. I have then split the spool data at page level into another internal table.
This table also contains OTF data . Is there anyway of printing this internal table directly to printer. If not is there any way of creating a spool request from this internal table?

Archive Smartform Copies - Error - OTF end command // missing in OTF data

Hi All,
We are printng invoices and archiving them at the same time.
When I try to print and archive just the original invoice it works fine
That is , it prints and archives.
However when I set the flag SSFCOMPOP-TDARCCOP to 'X' (Archive Copies as well),
I get the error OTF end command // missing in OTF data.
Im guessing that the system tries to archive multiple copies and the End of File Command // at the end of each copy is causing the issue. But I dont know how to go about solving it.

Nehal.

Converting OTF data from script to Spool Request

Hello,
Is there any way to convert OTF data into Spool Request.
Actual scenario is for the Order Acknowledgement form they have configured the output type for Print Medium and here the spool is generated through Close_Form . Based on the spool no they are converting the spool to PDF and then placing a copy in the Unix Directory.
They have also configured the form for Fax Medium , but here in the close_form they are getting the Fax number instead of spool number. As this way it just Fax the output to required destination , user require a copy of the output should be converted to PDF and then it has to be placed in Unix directory as it is happening for print medium.
The problem here in the close form for first case , i can see the spool id but in the second case that is not happening . So only OTF data is available with me. So is there any way where i can pass OTF data get spool id . So that if i have spool id rest will be taken care by my existing logic.
I Appreciate your valuable inputs.
Thanks,
Subash
