please go through the bellow program once.
I have written the bellow code to convert the report program to pdf file downloaded to c drive , but when i am opening that pdf file it is giving the bellow message
"adobe reader could not open 'REPORT.PDF'because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged( for example it was sent as a email attachementand wasn't correctly decoded)".
code is  : for this code i created one set-pf-status  with pushbutton 'PDF'.
REPORT  ZPDF.

line(255),
end of i_list.
data: v_variable(40).
v_variable = 'PDF CONVERSION OF REPORT'.
