Programatically saving a job spool to a file

Former Member — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 14:57:04 GMT

Hello,

I am writing a bespoke program in which I call a SAP Standard program using the submit command.

I am creating a background job which will have multiple steps (each of which is a call to the standard program but with different parameters).

I want the job to produce a single spool rather than a spool per step of the job.

I can do this manually by changing the Spool Request Attributes (under Print Specifications) for each step such that "No new spool File" is set to Yes.

I have tried to use the Print Parameters option within the submit command todo the same thing but I keep getting multiple spools.

Can anyone help please?

Or if anyone knows another way of outputting the spool to a file that would be great.I have found a few functions which allow you to export th spool to memory and then read it later from there but the FM WRITE_LIST only seems to write to the screen not to a file.

Thanks,

Ruby

perhaps understanding why the system produces varíous spool files might give you a clue to solve the problem. some notes explain in detail about that - have a look:

note 3079 and the faq's 504952.
