SE16 in background only selected fields

Former Member — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 04:32:38 GMT

Hi,

I must run SE16 in Background for a table with lots of fields.

However I only require 4 fields.

So I select the fieldsÑ

- SETTINGS

- LIST FORMAT

- CHOOSE FIELDS

unmark all fields and mark the 4 required fields.

If I run the report online it provides in the output on that 4 fields.

If I run the report in background the output in SM37 spool has all table fields and not only the 4 selected.

SO in the field selection I pressed the button below "SAVE FOR BACKGROUNF SELECTION".

However, the output is this with all table fields.

Anybody knows what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Thomas

Try SE16N instead, you can select the columns as well, and execution in background shows the desired spool list with reduced columns.

Hi,

it's a funny thing but SE16N is not part of basic Netweaver ABAP stack. I was surprised as well. It's part of ECC so you need to have ECC.
