This work step is required if you want to print original application files (for example, attachments to a SAPOffice mail). The format of the original application files (for example, TIFF) must be conveted to a format that the printer can handle (for example, Postscript).
In this work step you define which function modulesyou use to convert the format.
Create a function module for the required format conversion. You can use the function modules delivered with the standard system as templates to copy from.
The following function modules, for example, are delivered for the conversion:
| Format | Target format | Function module |
|---|---|---|
| INT | RAW | SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_INT_RAW |
| This function module changes the object CONTENT_IN from format ALI (ABAP/4 list output) to format RAW (ASCII text without formatting information). | ||
| OTF | PS | SX_OBJECT_CONVERT_OTF_PRT |
| This function module changes object CONTENT_IN form OTF format (SAPscript output text format) to a printer-specific format. |
Enter the source and target format for the conversion. Enter the function module that is to perform the conversion.
