Spool for program.

Former Member — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 16:28:10 GMT

Hi all,

I have a called program A. This is run in background. I am creating spool for this.

I am calling another program B from the program A using the statement :

<b>submit B using selection-set 'VARIANT' and return.</b>

The called program B may also generate messages and errors, but how can i see these results in spool. Ideally i would like to get the spool number of this called program B and print that number on the spool for program A. Is this possible.

Please help me.. it is urgent....

Thanks

Pranati.

You might be able to use the system variable SY-SPONO.

Hi,

I do not know whether you catch the Spool no in the A program, but you can catch the output of the B program in the A, look at the sample program here

*Example Code (Retrieving list from memory)
DATA  BEGIN OF itab_list OCCURS 0.
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE abaplist.
DATA  END OF itab_list.

DATA: BEGIN OF vlist OCCURS 0,
        filler1(01)   TYPE c,
        field1(06)    TYPE c,
        filler(08)    TYPE c,
        field2(10)    TYPE c,
        filler3(01)   TYPE c,
        field3(10)    TYPE c,
        filler4(01)   TYPE c,
        field4(3)     TYPE c,
        filler5(02)   TYPE c,
        field5(15)    TYPE c,
        filler6(02)   TYPE c,
        field6(30)    TYPE c,
        filler7(43)   TYPE c,
        field7(10)    TYPE c,
      END OF vlist.

SUBMIT zreport EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY.

CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
  TABLES
    listobject = itab_list
  EXCEPTIONS
    not_found  = 4
    OTHERS     = 8.

CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_TO_ASCI'
  EXPORTING
    list_index         = -1
  TABLES
    listasci           = vlist
    listobject         = itab_list
  EXCEPTIONS
    empty_list         = 1
    list_index_invalid = 2
    OTHERS             = 3.

IF sy-subrc NE '0'.
  WRITE:/ 'LIST_TO_ASCI error !! ', sy-subrc.
ENDIF.

Hi pranati,

use i A

DATA: SPOOL_NR like SY-SPONO.

Spoolnumber of the Spool wich you created.

SPOOL_NR = SY-SPONO.

EXPORT SPOOL_NR TO MEMORY ID 'SPOOL_NR'.

use in B

DATA: SPOOL_NR like SY-SPONO.

IMPORT SPOOL_NR TO MEMORY ID 'SPOOL_NR'.

Hope it helps,

regards, Dieter

Hi,

Yes, you can run the Program in the background also. This Program is A, and you need to submit B program ..

REPORT A.
*Example Code (Retrieving list from memory)
DATA  BEGIN OF itab_list OCCURS 0.
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE abaplist.
DATA  END OF itab_list.
 
DATA: BEGIN OF vlist OCCURS 0,
        filler1(01)   TYPE c,
        field1(06)    TYPE c,
        filler(08)    TYPE c,
        field2(10)    TYPE c,
        filler3(01)   TYPE c,
        field3(10)    TYPE c,
        filler4(01)   TYPE c,
        field4(3)     TYPE c,
        filler5(02)   TYPE c,
        field5(15)    TYPE c,
        filler6(02)   TYPE c,
        field6(30)    TYPE c,
        filler7(43)   TYPE c,
        field7(10)    TYPE c,
      END OF vlist.
 
SUBMIT B EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY.
 
CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
  TABLES
    listobject = itab_list
  EXCEPTIONS
    not_found  = 4
    OTHERS     = 8.

    list_index         = -1

    listasci           = vlist
    listobject         = itab_list
  EXCEPTIONS
    empty_list         = 1
    list_index_invalid = 2
