Is it possible to call a adobe form inside a function module?

Hi gurus,
i am trying to generate the pdf data source inside a custom function module,
the function module will call the FUNCTION 'FP_JOB_OPEN' , then call the function module of the pdf interface. then get the pdf data back and return.
but at run time i got the error message:
FPRUNX101, the job already started.
then the program stopped.
i checked the service market place, there is a note for that:858325 Message "Job already started" when you display PDF forms .
according to the notes,it seems that it's only possible to call the pdf generated function module in a program.
my question is , is there a way to call that in a funciton module?
best regards.
Jun
the note states that:
Reason and Prerequisites
At runtime, a PDF-based form is called using a generated function module. If you use the new interface, it is necessary to set the function modules FP_JOB_OPEN and FP_JOB_CLOSE as control structures with one or several generated function modules. In order for the single test from Transaction SFP to work simultaneously, however, the system checks for the test environment of Transaction SE37 (in which the test ultimately runs) in the single test. In this case, the function modules FP_JOB_OPEN or FP_JOB_CLOSE are called automatically.
If you then test a function module that calls a PDF based form and therefore calls the function module FP_JOB_OPEN itself, this leads to the error message mentioned above.
Solution
The test should be carried out using a program that in turn calls the function module to be tested.

sorry, i found out the reason.
the fm can not test direct in se37, it should be wrapped by a program.

  • Error "Job already started" when calling a adobe form in Z function module

    Hi All,
    I have a error when calling a adobe form in a custom function module.
    I am using FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME to get the adobe form function module and then i am using FP_JOB_OPEN function module to control the printing parameters such as no print preview or no dialog ..etc.. I dont have any exceptions during the call of FP_JOB_OPEN function module ..
    Later I am calling my function module which was generated for the adobe form and i am getting the error called " JOB ALREADY STARTED".
    I tried executing the same function module in se37 and the PDF form output was generated, and also by commenting FP_JOB_OPEN function module the PDF form output was generated.
    But i need the FP_JOB_OPEN function module to control the output based on the output type which triggers the form output such as the medium from nast record which says print or email or fax.. etc
    Please let me know how to handling this error.

    Just as a followup note. If you are testing a function module from SE37 and the test button you will get a value in SY-CPROG. You must override this value for everything to work.
    If you override the value of SY-CPROG with the main program that will be calling the function module you have no problem.

  • Is it possible to call a 9i Forms from a 6i Forms ?

    Hello,
    I have a customer using CRM 11.5.10.2 ( Database 9.2.0.6 / 6i Forms) and will be created a functionality in the CRM screen, where end user will call (via button) a custom application running on 9i Forms.
    Customer believes that there is a technical limitation to achieve that. That is, call a 9i Forms from a 6i Forms.
    Is it possible to call a 9i Forms from a 6i Forms ?
    Thank you in advanced for help,
    Marcos Souza.

    I should have thought so, as Forms 9i is exclusively web-driven, so how you launch the URL is immaterial as long as you use a supported browser. As your Forms 9i apps will invariably be on a remote web server, you'll not encounter compatibility issues either. And Forms 6 and 9 development is possible on the same PC using multiple Oracle Homes. Ask Oracle beforehand if you are still not convinced.

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

    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....

    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.

  • Call for adobe form is going for dump for multiple users

    hi,
    i am calling an adobe form in a program i.e. for multiple users. now my problem is.....
    3 people are using same tcode to generate the adobe form output for different data. but when they click at a time on the button to generate the adobe output, then adobe form is coming for only one user and it is going for dump for other users.
    and this dump is coming because of exception "CX_FP_API_INTERNAL" in funtion module FP_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME which i am using to get the function module name of the adobe form in my program.
    can u please give me some solution to rectify this issue....

    That's nothing!
    An engineer and I contacted Adobe technical support by phone to ensure the PC I was having custom built was configured to its optimum. They advised XP64 as the best operating environment. After that discussion we had to completely revise procurement, etc to get the bits and compatible XP64 compatible software, putting the build project back a few weeks as well, Imagine how I laughed when I found out on one of these forums that XP64 is the worst choice and totally unsupported by CS4!
    I have written to Shantanu Narayen, Adobe CEO and didn't even get an acknowledgement I raised this last week on the Adobe stand at BVE and was told they'd get someone to contact me asap but guess what, niet...! To be fair there has been one Adobe executive that recognises the problem and the damage poor customer support is causing the company; he has been as helpful as he can. Unfortunately, it seems the overall Adobe culture at the top is "get the money and run". If your problem goes beyond what's already on their web pages, tough luck!

  • Calling a Selection Screen from a Function Module/Method

    Hi,
      I would like to call a selection screen from a function module or method. I understand it is not possible by the definition. Are there any alternative options as I am looking for the Variants Save option on the screen. Any thoughts?
    Thanks
    Raghav

    Since i don't know your exact requirements (standard SAP selection screen? your own selection screen?) the onl;y thing i can come up with is:
    1. in your function pool create your own screen with a subscreen area
    2. create your own selection screen as a subscreen.
    3. include the selection subscreen in the first screen
    4. call the first screen in your function.

  • Calling the Adobe form in a workflow step for Approval

    Hi All,
    We are creating a PCR scenario using Adobe forms for "Employee seperation". This form will require 7 subsequent approvals from various agents which is to be handled using a workflow.
    I had gone through the ISR cookbook and managed to create a scenario. I have also assigned it to a PDF form and a dummy workflow. Now from my PCR iview i am able to submit the form for my scenario which also triggers the dummy workflow(through the BUS7051-CREATED event).
    Right now this dummy workflow just sends a mail(by sendmail step) to the first approver. Now i want this workflow to send a workitem to the first approver for approval of this form which will have to appear in his UWL. When the approver double clicks on the workitem in UWL he should be able to view the form along with Approve/Reject/Cancel buttons. I am not aware how to do this. My questions are,
    <b>Is this handled by a decision step or an activity?
    If it is an activity step which Task/Business object method is used to handle this?
    If it is a decision step how do we make the Adobe form also to be displayed along with approve/Reject buttons?</b>
    We are using ECC5.0 and EP6.0.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi Juergen,
    I am using it as a WSDL based data connection.
    How do i check this WSDL through a web browser? I have checked it through SICF Transaction code, It gives the output in explorer as given in the first post of this thread..
    Please help me resolving this issue, i feel that this issue is somewhere related to the role assignment of the user as if i provide this user an authorization of SAP_ALL then everything starts working fine, but after removing SAP_ALL this error is encountered, do u hav any pin points on this??
