Download PDF created by ODS

[sorosch]

Hello,

i have a datastep that opens _WEBOUT

data _NULL_;
  set webOutput;
  file _WEBOUT;
  put l;
run;

In the "data webOutput(keep = l);" Step i create HTML which has serveral dropdown-menues and a button on the top of the page. The rest of the page is an iframe which has a table, generated by an proc tabulate.

Now i want to export this table to PDF. So i created in a macro an ods-statement, that creates a pdf:

		  	ods pdf file='/mypdf.pdf';
		  	%proc_tabulate_code;
		  	ods pdf close;	

But how can i forward the PDF to the browser? I have found some examples - e.g.:

data _null_;
rc = stpsrv_header('Content-type','application/pdf');
rc =
stpsrv_header('Content-disposition','attachment; filename=temp.pdf');
run;

ods listing close;

ods PDF  body=_webout ;

proc print data=sashelp.class;
run;

ODS PDF  CLOSE;

But always the PDF is shown on the HTML-Page or in the STP-Log as Binary-Code.

Already clear why (the PDF is written to _webout - and _webout is already open) - But how can i close _webout? Or what other possibilities exists?

Thank you very much

Kind regards

George
