Getting "SYSTEM ERROR" while generating a PDF in a Workflow method.

Dear All,
I'm getting a "SYSTEM ERROR" when I'm calling the below function module in a Workflow BO Method.
CALL FUNCTION wa_funcnm
   EXPORTING
     /1bcdwb/docparams = fp_docparams
     invoice                     = invoice
   IMPORTING
     /1bcdwb/formoutput = fp_formoutput

     system_error       = 2

The aim is to generate the PDF and store it in DMS. Please let me know, if I'm going wrong somewhere. Any kind of inputs would be sincerely appreciated.

Tushar.

Hi all,
For the first application i am creating in web dynpro, i thought of creating a interactive form and calling it in web dynpro screen.
But there's an error...!!
I have created the adobe form in Adobe LIve Cycle Designer.
I have placed the UI element InteractiveForms in the layout tab of the view. And in the Template source have given the name of the PDF file. Have also checked the Enabled check box in the properties.
First when i executed the application it displayed the PDF, but none of the field's where editable or interactive.
Then after searching some PDF got some code which i put in the WDDOMODIFYVIEW method of the view.
Now it gives a Dump..!!!
Kindly suggest if i have missed out on some settings or some more code needs to be written to make the form interactive.
method WDDOMODIFYVIEW.
data: LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM type ref to CL_WD_INTERACTIVE_FORM,
LR_METHOD_HANDLER type ref to IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL.
check first_time = abap_true.
LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM ?= VIEW->GET_ELEMENT(u2018INTERACTIVE_FORM_1u2019).
LR_METHOD_HANDLER ?= LR_INTERACTIVE_FORM->_METHOD_HANDLER.

Error while generating the Infoset

Dear SD Experts,
I get the Error While Generating the Infoset.
I am actually trying to write a Query.
the tables i have inserted are VBAK, VBAP, VBEP, LIKP, LIPS
below is the List.
1)Differences in field TEXT_VBAP_CHARG
2)Differences in field TEXT_VBEP_ETENR
3)Differences in field TEXT_VBEP_ETENE
4)Differences in field TEXT_VBEP_PLNUM
5)Differences in field TEXT_LIPS_CHARG
6)Differences in field TEXT_LIPS_LGPLA
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Santa Khattri.

Hi ,
From what you are saying, i am guessing there could be difference in field types used and in dictionary.
Try this.
1.Go to SQ02
2.Change query area (Standard / Global) in Environment --> Query areas depending on where your infoset is.
3. Select your Infoset.
4. Goto --> More functions --> Check and generate / consistency check --> Adjust.
or Try this.
1. Select your infoset.
2. Change
3. Goto --> Global properties --> see if "no automatic text recognition" is checked in options tab.
If you still having problems, give me more detail on how have you joined tables, have you used any extra fields, or have you done any coding in Infoset, I may be able to help you.
Thank you.

Subin John.

The maximum number of lines for the header-data area was exceeded. There may be no more than 15 lines in the header-data section.
Procedure
Check both of these potential sources of errors in the relevant screen, and make the necessary changes.
Could some body help me in this regards?

Hi,
For a dynpro there are 199 Lines available for screen elements and on the average the restriction of 10 views per section and 10 sections per screen. Just check this.

I need to fix this issue and I had taken help from Rohini.
I will try to explain the issue in detail.
I am trying to execute Tax Reporter Transaction PU19. Iam executing Quarterly Form 941 for USA for a Tax Company and a Period. This report gives an output Log and the log had generated errors in the log section General errors and Warnings.
The errors are :
Errors in generating the PDF Form : HR_F_941 and
Errors in generating the PDF Form : HR_F_941_SCHED_B
As we are new to the PDF Forms we don't know why the report has generated and how to find out by debugging or any other way.
So I need to find out how the above errors can be identified?
Thanks and Regards,
Madhan.

Application error while generating PDF form

Hello there,
I am getting the message "Application error while generating PDF form" and when you hover it has additional information Message Class HREIC_APPL - Message number 258.
I get this upon doing the following steps:
1. Enter SAP R3, enter HREIC on the transaction code input.
2. Enter EIC, Activity Search. Searched for an Activity, selected it and click the "PRINT" button.
3. After clicking the PRINT button, I get the error message "Application error while generating PDF form".
Installed this on development box, did the same configuration in test system, but still I get this error. ADS Configuration is working fine and configured fine.
Is there anything else that is needed to be checked? like Ports, Firewalls, etc?
Thanks a lot.

Be sure that the RFC name is "ADS" and not anything else.
Thanks.

An error that "error while generating pdf".

Hi gurus,
when i am trying to generate a pdf from phap_admin (appraisal document ) i am getting an error that "error while generating pdf".
the dump in st22 is
ERROR ANALYSIS:
An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_SEND_DYNPRO_NO_RECEIVER', was

therefore caused a runtime error.
The reason for the exception is:

CAN ANY ONE HELP TO SOLVE THIS???

Hi,
the dump says:
CALL SCREEN 300 STARTING AT lv_start_column lv_start_row.
>>>> ELSE.
This means, the raise of the exception comes from the command before ELSE and this is CALL SCREEN.
CALL SCREEN is only reachable. if w_suppress_dialog is SPACE. It can't be 'X'.
You have to find a way to set it to 'X'.

"Error while generating pdf" error come when clicking on "Print Version "

It is supposed to send 'pdf' stream to Web browser client on end user but it is not able to generate the pdf .
getting ' Error while generating pdf '
I am working on BI 7.0 .
The same is running fine in the Q Environment .But in Production we are getting this error .

Hi,
I think this is an ADS error. This is a reason why pdf's are not working. We had the same issue.
You can check your installation:
