I doubt if its possible in one shot..

spool will carry the write statements.. when u excecute in background.. only One spool number will be generated.. by system automatically...so multiple spools is not possible with multiple data..

if you just run ur program which gives output like write statements or ALV grid etc... that will automatically saved in a spool.. after ur job is completed in background you can view the spool in SP01 tr. to view the status of the background job sm35 tr.

If you execute the program in BACKGROUND, it will automatically create spool.

ONLINE EXECUTION: you need to write your statements to be taken to spool within NEW_PAGE PRINT ON & OFF.

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
       EXPORTING
            COVER_PAGE          = WC_X
            DESTINATION            = <Printer Name>
            EXPIRATION              = 2
            IMMEDIATELY           = SPACE
            LAYOUT                   = 'X_65_255'
            LINE_COUNT             = 65
            LINE_SIZE                = 255
            LIST_NAME              = <LIST_NAME>
            LIST_TEXT              = <SPOOL_TITLE>
            *NEW_LIST_ID            = WC_X*    "New Spool 
            NO_DIALOG              = WC_X
            SAP_COVER_PAGE  = WC_X
       IMPORTING
            OUT_PARAMETERS    = WA_PRINT_PARA
            VALID                          = WS_VALID
       EXCEPTIONS
            ARCHIVE_INFO_NOT_FOUND = 1
            INVALID_PRINT_PARAMS   = 2
            INVALID_ARCHIVE_PARAMS = 3
            OTHERS                 = 4.

  IF WS_VALID <> SPACE AND SY-SUBRC EQ 0.

    NEW-PAGE PRINT ON PARAMETERS WA_PRINT_PARA NO DIALOG.
    PERFORM DISPLAY_REPORT. "Write Statements
    NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF.
endif.
