Call this FM to generate the Print preview from SPOOL

CALL FUNCTION 'RSPO_OUTPUT_SPOOL_REQUEST'

EXPORTING

spool_request_id = hrqident

Hi Chun,

Use the below Function module:

RSPO_DISPLAY_SPOOLJOB passing the spool job number to this..

It will display the preview of the spool and if the user wants to print it, he can goto LIST-->PRINT in the menu bar..

Thanks and Best Regards,

Vikas Bittera.

Do a BDC program for following:

CALL transaction SP01

Enter the Spool No.

CLick Execute

select the checkbox & click on the spool

Hello Prashant,

I tried BDC and when I click preview for the smartform...its is displayed as a list instead of a a OTF format form

this however doesnt occur when i manully access SP01

any idea why this is happening?

Execute SP01

Goto->Display Request -> Settings

Select Graphical Format

thanks prashant...but its already in graphical mode...

when i access SP01 with out BDC it displays the form...

however when i access SP01 via BDC....it displays the list ( i checked the setting at this point and it is still graphical)

could this be because i am list processing mode and SAP automatically converts it into a list as well?

Yes that could be the reason otherwise if you have set to Graphical mode then SAP will display the output in graphical format.
