sending spool-list possible with 'virtual' printer ?

Former Member — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 08:30:27 GMT

hi there,

is there a possibility where i can EMAIL an spoolfile (created in a sap-standard-abap) within a scheduled job ?

i know from other systems that there is a possibility to have a special PRINTER defined, where i can email

the created spoolfile directly.

is this possible in SM37 job scheduling ?

if not: how can i email a spool file directly without touching sap-standard-program ?

Am not sure if you have a direct option of sending a spool file to email via background scheduling though you can write a program by calling the standard abap program with SUBMIT command and convert the spool to pdf and send the email.

You can have a look at this link for a sample coding

okay, now i have found the solution:

There is a possibility for creating emails directly.

Firstly, I had created one printer (EMAIL-PDF) at transaction SPAD, with:

Device Type : PDF1

Device Class: Standart Printer

Access Method: M E-Mail to Receiver/Owner

Then you can enter a email-adress directly in spoolcontrol when defining the job.

it works perfect, BUT: does anybody know how to change the standard text (and the title) of

the email which is created ?

Hi,

If i have understood your question correctly then you want to email ur job output.

In that case follow the below steps:

Step 1: Go to SM36.

Step 2: In the General data there is one option: Spool List Request. Click on it.

Step 3: After clicking on it you will find a modal dailog box for Receiver Determination. Give the Recipient name* and if required give he general attributes. Click on 'Copy'.

Step 4: Just save your work. And after saving it whenever that job finished successfully you will receive the outout of ur job.

*Note: Here you will give any email id; either your internet adress or your organization address.

Please let me know if I am not clear in above steps. Also sorry if I am not understand your requirement.

Thanks,
