requirments?

Answer Posted / rajendra rai

You Can get smart form output in PDF format by writing a
executable program with HTML Viewver.

Steps:
1. Create a Screen '100' for your program and create a
Custom Control with name PDF.

2. Data diclaration for HTML Container:
data:g_html_container type ref to cl_gui_custom_container,
g_html_control type ref to cl_giu_htm_viewer,
lv_url type char(255).

DATA : l_job_output_info TYPE ssfcrescl.
DATA : ls_control_param TYPE ssfctrlop.


3. Fill ur data in internal table and call your smart form.
Pass Values to Smartform
CALL FUNCTION '/1BCDWB/SF00000166'
EXPORTING
control_parameters = ls_control_param
e_tpseg_start_date = lv_e_tpseg_start_date
e_tpseg_end_date = lv_e_tpseg_end_date
IMPORTING
job_output_info = l_job_output_info
TABLES
et_trip = lt_trip
EXCEPTIONS
formatting_error = 1
internal_error = 2
send_error = 3
user_canceled = 4
OTHERS = 5.

You will Get data into OTF Format in "l_job_output_info".

3. You have to convert Data in PDF Format so, Call Function
Module 'CONVERT_OTF' and pass "l_job_output_info-otfdata".

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_OTF'
EXPORTING
format = 'PDF'
IMPORTING
bin_filesize = pdf_fsize
bin_file = p_c_ztr_reports-report_pdf
TABLES
otf = l_job_output_info-otfdata
lines = lt_pdf
EXCEPTIONS
err_max_linewidth = 1
err_format = 2
err_conv_not_possible = 3
OTHERS = 4.


4 . You can use c_ztr_reports-report_pdf to load PDF Data
into HTML Control by converting Xstring to binary table by
function module 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'.

* Convert xstring to binary table to pass to the LOAD_DATA
*method
CALL FUNCTION 'SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY'
EXPORTING
buffer = p_c_ztr_reports-report_pdf
TABLES
binary_tab = lt_data.

You Will Get converted data into a internal table "lt_data".

5. Call Your Screen '100'.

CALL SCREEN 100.

6. In PBO Module of 100 Screen.

7. Create object for HTML Container
Create Object g_html_container
exporting
Container_name = 'PDF' " Name You have mentioned
for Control Conatiner Screen.

8. Pass you defined html container to HTMl Control
Create OBJECT g_htnl_contol
exporting
parent = g_html_container.

9. call intance method load data and pass your converted
table into this method.
* Load the HTML

CALL METHOD g_html_control->load_data(
EXPORTING
type = 'application'
subtype = 'pdf'
IMPORTING
assigned_url = lv_url
CHANGING
data_table = lt_data
EXCEPTIONS
dp_invalid_parameter = 1
dp_error_general = 2
cntl_error = 3
OTHERS = 4 ).

From this Method u will get URL in lv_url.

10. call method to show ur url at Your Screen.
call method g_html_control->show_url( url = lv_url
in_place ='X').


You Will Get your Smartform output in PDF at your screen..

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
