Hi,

If you run any program in background and if there is a ALV, then it is going to create a spool request.

You can add a a check in your program IF SY-BATCH = space, then only you should call the ALV function module.

But if the program is run in background, how do you want report output to be displayed? Do you want to mail list to user?

Hi,

You can delete the spool request using Function Module "RSPO_R_RDELETE_SPOOLREQ".

Even in background, if you want to display ALV & dont want spool, then refer this blog:

Hi,

In that case before calling ALV function module put a condition IF SY_BATCH = SPACE. This will display ALV only in foreground.

Also make sure that the file download is for Application server as Background job does not support Presentation server download.

Hope this helps.

IF you run your program in background, then you can not download program in foreground. That is a limitation by SAP. You will have to download file to unix server.

Yes, and to tell you once again, if you add that check in report then you will not be able to see spool.
