Converting a .pcl (out of smart form) file into an xcel or ASCII.

[Thad Gorbal]

Jeroen,
 
I do not want to push my luck here, but I do have some questions:
 
   Where is the conversion taking place, is it within the smartform code?
   How do you setup the RFC destination and Parameter for call?
 
Thanks in advance,
Thad

Hi Thad,
 
Not sure if this is of any help as I have not come across that particular
issue. I use standard OTF output from my smartforms and then can convert
them to any format I need (PDF or TXT) before sending them out of the
system. The drawback is that everything gets converted to the same standard
but I guess that can be easily overcome by putting your own function module
in transaction S_BCE_68001286 and decide there to what type the document
should be converted to using the standard SAP FM's.
 
 
 
Regards,

Hi All:
 
Perhaps someone has dealt with this issue: I need to convert a .pcl (out of
smart form) file into an xcel or ASCII.
 
For invoices that require a special handling, I need to pick up .pcl file
(an electronic representation of a smart form before printing it) and send
it to an agent in a format that allow manual adjustment.  For that the pcl
file need to be converted to (ideally) xcel or ASCII format.
 
Your advice, as always, would be greatly appreciated.
 
Best regards,
Thad
