Generate Spool from internal table while running in background??

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a requirement such that i have to generate an excel sheet when the program is run in foreground (data is fetched from an internal table). That i have managed.

Now when the program is run in background, then i have to generate a spool for this(by checking sy-batch) as in background mode excel sheet can be donwloaded (in presentation).

Please tell me how can i generate a spool request from the internal table and also how to get the name of that spool request, which is gerenated.

Many thanks

Hi,

When you schedule a report in Background Job with some WRITE statements,automatically it generates a spool.

Go to SP01 and find that related spool and download it.

Hi Rahul,

to generate spool, use below code

FORM create_spool .

CONSTANTS : l_c_device(4) VALUE 'LOCL'.

• Create Spool Request

NEW-PAGE PRINT ON

LINE-SIZE 120

DESTINATION l_c_device

IMMEDIATELY ' '

KEEP IN SPOOL 'X'

NEW LIST IDENTIFICATION 'X'

NO DIALOG.

ENDFORM. " create_spool

And after createing spool to get the spool number use below code,

FORM obtain_spool_id .

TYPES : BEGIN OF t_tsp01,

rqident TYPE tsp01-rqident,

rqowner TYPE tsp01-rqowner,

END OF t_tsp01.

DATA : it_tsp01 TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t_tsp01,

wa_tsp01 LIKE LINE OF it_tsp01.

SELECT rqident

rqowner

FROM tsp01

INTO TABLE it_tsp01

WHERE rqowner = sy-uname.

SORT it_tsp01 BY rqident DESCENDING.

READ TABLE it_tsp01 INTO wa_tsp01 INDEX 1.

IF sy-subrc = 0 .

v_spool_nr = wa_tsp01-rqident.

ENDIF.

• Capture the immediate spool created for this report

• v_spool_nr = sy-spono.

ENDFORM. " obtain_spool_id
