Convert a spool into text format - abap

I want to send the spool generated by a Smart Form, by email as attachment in TXT format.
The issue is to get the spool in a TXT format, without technical stuff, just the characters in the form.
I have used the function module RSPO_RETURN_SPOOLJOB for getting it, but it returns a technical format like this:
//XHPLJIIID 0700 00000+00000+
IN01ES_CA930_DEMO_3 FIRST

I want something as follows, without the technical stuff:
Dear Customer,
We would like to take this opportunity to confirm the flight
reservations listed below. Thank you for your custom.

This is the code I have used :
PARAMETERS spoolnum type TSP01-RQIDENT.
DATA spool_contents type soli_tab.
CALL FUNCTION 'RSPO_RETURN_SPOOLJOB'
exporting
rqident = spoolnum
tables
buffer = spool_contents
exceptions
others = 1.

If the parameter DESIRED_TYPE is not passed or has the value 'OTF', and the spool is of type SAPscript/Smart Form, the function module returns the technical format you have experienced.
Instead, you should use the parameter DESIRED_TYPE = 'RAW' so that all the technical stuff is interpreted and the form is returned as text, the way you request, as follows :
CALL FUNCTION 'RSPO_RETURN_SPOOLJOB'
exporting
rqident = spoolnum
desired_type = 'RAW'
tables
buffer = spool_contents
exceptions
others = 1.

Looking for a way to get a detailed description of ZTERM

I am currently trying to program a function module which should, in theory, output a custom table like T052, but with an additional field Z_TEXTLONG, which explains the details of the chosen ZTERM, akin to the text in FI_F4_ZTERM's popup. Here's what I tried:
LOOP AT T_ZBEDS ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<line>).
CALL FUNCTION 'FI_F4_ZTERM'
EXPORTING
I_KOART = 'K'
I_ZTERM = <line>-zterm
I_XSHOW = ''
I_ZTYPE = ''
I_NO_POPUP = 'X'
IMPORTING
E_ZTERM = v_text
EXCEPTIONS
NOTHING_FOUND = 1
OTHERS = 2.
WRITE v_text TO <line>-Z_TEXTLONG.
From what I gathered, this does not work due to FI_F4_ZTERM writing the list it returns into E_ZTERM, not a single value, which would be what I need. I am a bit lost as to what I should do next. I tried looking into how exactly FI_F4_ZTERM generates these texts or where it calls them from, but I was not successful. Currently, I am trying to maybe get this text from V_T052, but that does not work either. I would be thankful for any suggestions.
Try function FI_TEXT_ZTERM, it has single import parameter I_T052
why not just call CALL FUNCTION 'FI_F4_ZTERM'
with I_NO_POPUP = 'X'
importing
ET_ZTERM = lt_zterm.
you get the list of payment terms and their texts.
Then in the loop read it from the table of payment terms.
LOOP AT T_ZBEDS ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<line>).
read table lt_zterm assigning <term>
with key ZTERM = <line>-zterm.
ENDLOOP.

BAPI/FM to search prod orders confirmations by workcenter and date?

I'm trying to figure out which BAPI/FM I could use to search amounts confirmed based on search criteria of date (+time if possible) and workcenter confirmed where was confirmed...
I would be using BAPI_PRODORDCONF_GETDETAIL which contains these informations, but according to BAPI guide I can only load in the data of confirmation number+confirmation counter.
Therefore the option would be to run BAPI_PRODORDCONF_GETLIST (but I can only input the production order range or confirmation number range), then filter what includes the workcenter and date I need and from those pick up confirmation number+counter and run it through BAPI_PRODORDCONF_GETDETAIL.
but this procedure of getting list of everything without data being filtered on serverside is extemly timeconsuming and out of SAP Gui I have timeout error... therefore I need any BAPI/FM which I could input the workcenter where was confirmed and date, and have the data filtered already...
Any ideas how to do that?
As far as I know there is no such standard FM, so your only choice is custom development.
I would suggest you MCPK transaction were this info is exposed in a handy form, but as I see that your requirement is to receive this info externally this is not appropriate for you.
The confirmations reside in AFRU table and workcenters are in CRHD, so to find confirmed quantities by workcenter you should join these tables, or use a view u_15673 where this info is linked:
TYPES: BEGIN OF prod_orders,
rueck TYPE afru-rueck, "confirmation number
rmzhl TYPE afru-rmzhl," confirmation counter
gmnga TYPE afru-gmnga, " quantity
arbid TYPE crhd-arbpl, " workcenter
END OF prod_orders.
DATA: orders TYPE TABLE OF prod_orders.
SELECT *
FROM u_15673
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE orders
WHERE isdd >= '20180101' AND isdz <= '163000'.
To pull this externally, you must create RFC-enabled FM or use RFC_READ_TABLE and fetch this view with parameters, here is the sample.
Another approach is to use RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN. You must create an ABAP program that uses WRITE for output the results as a standard list to screen.
Send the lines of this program to RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN to PROGRAM parameter and the code will be executed on the remote system and this FM will return screen results as the lines of table WRITES.
Possible sample based on MCPK tcode to send to RFC_ABAP_INSTALL_AND_RUN:
CLEAR lwa_selection.
lwa_selection-selname = 'SL_SPTAG'.
lwa_selection-sign = 'I'.
lwa_selection-option = 'BT'.
lwa_selection-low = '20180101'.
lwa_selection-high = '20201231'.
APPEND lwa_selection TO li_selection.
CLEAR lwa_selection.
lwa_selection-selname = 'SL_ARBPL'.
lwa_selection-sign = 'I'.
lwa_selection-option = 'EQ'.
lwa_selection-low = '10400001'.
APPEND lwa_selection TO li_selection.
SUBMIT rmcf0200 WITH SELECTION-TABLE li_selection
with par_stat = abap_true
EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY
AND RETURN.
DATA: xlist TYPE TABLE OF abaplist.
DATA: xtext TYPE TABLE OF char200.
CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
TABLES
listobject = xlist.
CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_TO_TXT'
EXPORTING
list_index = -1
TABLES
listtxt = xtext
listobject = xlist.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
LOOP AT xtext ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<text>).
WRITE <xtext>.
ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.
However, this approach is not flexible because MCPK standard layout is a bit different than you want, and is not easy to adjust programmatically.
Because of that I recommend to stick to the RFC_READ_TABLE approach.

How to retrieve a specific field from a list output?

I don't have any developer rights in my SAP-System but I found a way to write some ABAP-Code in a tiny "User-Exit" box (I don't know if that's what you call it) inside a report.
I'm trying to submit a HR-Report and plug it's outcoming PERNR into that same report again.
There's a syntax-error that is telling me that t_list doesn't have a component with the Name PERNR.
What do I have to do in order to get this to work?
DATA: t_list TYPE TABLE OF abaplist WITH HEADER LINE,
seltab TYPE TABLE OF rsparams,
selline LIKE LINE OF seltab.
*I found out that the name of the selection field in the Report-GUI is "PNPPERNR" and tested it
selline-selname = 'PNPPERNR'.
selline-sign = 'I'.
selline-option = 'EQ'.
SUBMIT Y5000112
USING SELECTION-SET 'V1_TEST'
EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY
AND RETURN.
CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
TABLES
listobject = t_list
EXCEPTIONS
not_found = 1
OTHERS = 2.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
WRITE 'Unable to get list from memory'.
ELSE.
LOOP AT t_list.
*The Problem is here: how do I get the pnppernr out of t_list, it's the first column of the report output
selline-low = t_list-pernr.
append selline to seltab.
ENDLOOP.
SUBMIT Y5000112
WITH SELECTION-TABLE seltab
USING SELECTION-SET 'V2_TEST'
AND RETURN.
ENDIF.
Use the function module LIST_TO_ASCI to decode the contents of t_list into something readable. This answer contains some sample code including the data types required. At this point, the data you're looking for will probably occur at the same column range in the output. Use the standard substring access methods - e. g. line+42(21) to obtain the part of the line you need.
The vwegert's answer is more than useful! In my previous answer I forgot to mention LIST_TO_ASCI FM :)
The only thing I can add is that parsing of result lines has no universal solution and greatly depends on its structure. Usually it is done like:
LOOP AT t_list.
SPLIT t_list AT '|' INTO <required_structure>.
selline-low = <required_structure>-pernr.
APPEND selline TO seltab.
ENDLOOP.
where <`required_structure> is your Y5000112 output structure. But this may be not so simple and may require additional manipulations.

Inserting data into BAPIRET2_TAB structure

My method is using an export parameter of type BAPIRET2_TAB. I need to fill the values of this structure, but I cant access the structure directly. For example, parameter-message = 'text', etc.
How can I do this?
These are the parameters I need to pass:
lv_msg_line. type i
lv_syntax_text. //Error message
And this is syntax checker.
syntax-check for l_tab_code
program lv_progname
message l_error_message
line l_error_line
word l_error_word
id 'ERR' table l_tab_errors.
Like said above in the comments, BAPIRET2_TAB is not a structure, and therefore cannot have its components accessed directly via STRUCTURE-FIELD paradigm.
What you need is to declare an structure like this
DATA error_line TYPE LINE OF BAPIRET2_TAB.
Then, you can use it to fill the data in...
error_line-program = sy-repid.
error_line-id = sy-msgid.
... and so forth. Then, lastly, you append the error_line item to your BAPIRET2_TAB.
APPEND error_line TO bapi2tab.
CLEAR error_line.
Hope it helps.

How to find a standard text within a SapScript or SmartForm?

I need to track down where within a large number of custom sapscripts and smartforms a specific standard text (SO10) is being used.
Apart from the equivalent of "check the code for each print script", I've not found a workable solution online. Any suggestions?
After posting, I found a partial solution. The code below will search for a standard text within sapscripts, but not smartforms.
PARAMETERS: p_sttxt LIKE stxh-tdname.
DATA: BEGIN OF t_stxh OCCURS 0,
tdname LIKE stxh-tdname,
tdspras LIKE stxh-tdspras,
END OF t_stxh.
DATA t_lines LIKE tline OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
SELECT tdname tdspras FROM stxh INTO TABLE t_stxh
WHERE tdobject = 'FORM'
AND tdid = 'TXT'
AND tdspras = 'E'.
LOOP AT t_stxh.
REFRESH t_lines.
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
EXPORTING
* CLIENT = SY-MANDT
id = 'TXT'
language = t_stxh-tdspras
name = t_stxh-tdname
object = 'FORM'
TABLES
lines = t_lines
EXCEPTIONS
id = 0
language = 0
name = 0
not_found = 0
object = 0
reference_check = 0
wrong_access_to_archive = 0
OTHERS = 0 .
SEARCH t_lines FOR p_sttxt.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
WRITE:/ t_stxh-tdname, t_stxh-tdspras.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
This is a (fixed) version of the code found here: http://scn.sap.com/thread/179142
What concerns SmartForms, you cannot. You cannot just find it like you want it.
Unfortunately, in such ̶g̶o̶o̶d̶ ̶o̶l̶'̶ legacy technology as SmartForms everything is working legacy way, and standard texts are simply hard-coded. Yes, it looks awkward but they are really hard-coded, and these names are written out to SmartForm FM code every time it is re-generated.
So the only workaround here is to analyze the code.
Find all FMs for existing Smart Forms in system
There is a D010INC table containing all forms with their includes. The main point here is that all SmartForm FMs start with /1BCDWB/ prefix.
The main logic is in the includes, so we need to find correspondent INCLUDE for the target form.
Fetch SF include source code
It can be done in a several ways: via CL_RECA_RS_SERVICES class, via table REPOSRC, but the simplest way is ABAP statement READ REPORT.
Search SO10 text element name in the source code
Get Smart Form names for the FMs from hit list. It can be done via STXFADMI table, like in below snippet, but the more correct way is SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME FM
Bingo!
Sample solution could look like this:
DATA: lt_source TYPE TABLE OF string,
lt_smartforms TYPE TABLE OF d010inc,
so_text TYPE char50,
fs_form TYPE string,
used_in TYPE TABLE OF string,
len TYPE i.
* populating the list of SmartForm FMs
SELECT * FROM d010inc AS d
INTO TABLE lt_smartforms
WHERE master LIKE '/1BCDWB/%'
AND include LIKE '/1BCDWB/%'.
so_text = '85XX_FOOTER'. " <- our SO10 text element name
LOOP AT lt_smartforms ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<fs_fm_name>).
* reading FM source code
READ REPORT <fs_fm_name>-include INTO lt_source.
* checking if SO11 exists in source code
FIND FIRST OCCURRENCE OF so_text IN TABLE lt_source.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
len = strlen( <fs_fm_name>-include ) - 7.
* searching for SmartForm related to the target FM
SELECT SINGLE formname
FROM stxfadmi
INTO fs_form
WHERE fmnumb = <fs_fm_name>-include+len(4).
IF sy-subrc = 0.
APPEND fs_form TO used_in.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
Yes, it is junky, not elegant and awkward, but who said it should be so?
