Printing duplicates when Spooled

[Former Member]

Hi , I have a ALV grid with top of page event. THis is done entirely in OOPS. Now when I give a print with out creating a spool , then it is fine . If I also check the spool , then the printout has multiple top of page printed , however the ALV remains the same. How can I flush out the top of page and set it to print only once.

Thank you .

Put a condition in top of page event which will trigger the headings only once. For eg

IF SY-PAGNO = 1.

• Paste your logic here

ENDIF.

My top of page contains abc ,

Ok ,, this is what the print out looks like if I spool it 3 times

abc

abc

abc

_________________________________________________

ALV data here.

and it should look like

abc

ALV data here.

I did not understand your comment "If i spool it 3 times".

Can you check if the internal table to store comments is getting refreshed correctly?

spooling 3 times means , I click on the print button in the ALV container and check the spool option and press continue , then again I click on print button and check the spool option and click continue , finally I click on the spool and the print check boxes and then press continue ,

What is happening is that the top of page is being stored in the memory as many times as the spool occured , while the ALV is getting cleared. THis is the problem.

Can you check this program BCALV_TEST_LIST_PRINT provided by SAP to print list. As I will not be able to see your program, i hope this program code will guide further.
