Report Output Changed when Executed in Background

Former Member — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 18:42:56 GMT

Hi Guys,

I have generated a report,which when executed online displays

four records.

But when i am executing the same report in background by generating a spool,my output is changed,such as third record is missing and i am getting only three records.

In the place of the third record an empty line is displayed.

whats the reason for it?

Can anyone help me in this regard.

What is the width of your output? The output shown in the spool also depend on the properties of the printer you select. check properties ---> format. it shout be something like X_65_255 which means the maximum output displayed will be 255 characters? you might want to select a printer format which is more that what you want to display

Hey Aparna,

I have a report which has more than 400 characters in width. When I execute the report in background, I dont have a printing format of more than 255 characters. Therefore the generated spool has only 255 characters.

How can I get the complete spool? Is there a way to define printing format or any other T-Code to print the generated spool?

Regards,

Anosh

Hey Anosh,

Look for a printer which displays more that 255 characters by F4 help. There could be a posible LOCL1. If you dont have any in your system you have to ask the Basis guys to create one Z format, something like Z_64_512 or Z_64_1023. After you use this format, Go to the spool dispay there is an ICON in the menu bar which says Display in Maximum Width. Use that to display lists more than 255 characters wide.
