Define conversion

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.

Requirements

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.

Standard Settings

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.

Activities

Enter the source and target format for the conversion. Enter the function module that is to perform the conversion.
