How do I save a SapScript spool in text file?

In a text file? I think it would like garbage anyway, a PDF would definitly be better.

For this you will need to convert the OTF code to PDF using the function module CONVERT_OTF_TO_PDF(i think that is named like this).

Hi,

If the Spool output has a image or logo, then there is no point in downloading it to a text file. Otherwise, you can use the following FM`s :

RSPO_DOWNLOAD_SPOOLJOB - To download the spool. Provide the filename with .TXT extension.

For eg.

Call Function `RSPO_DOWNLOAD_SPOOLJOB`

Exporting

ID = l_spool_numbr

FNAME = `C:\spool.txt`

I tested it, and it is working fine as per your requirement.

Best regards,

Prashant
