Problem in spool generation using SUBMIT statement

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am facing a problem in getting the spool no using the SUBMIT statemet.I am exporting an internal table with some data and then importing the same in another dummy program to get the ALV list output.This dummy program is called using the SUBMIT TO SAP-SPOOL statement.

The code is as follows:

Moderator message - Please respect the 2,500 character maximum when posting. Post only the relevant portions of code

The trouble is the submit statement is not calling the dummy program in this case.What can be the problem here and how can it be resolved.In my dummy program I am simply using the exported table to convert into list display so as to get a spool no. for it.

My objective is to get the spool no. for this sothat I can convert this spool to PDF.

Thanks and Regards

Abhishek

Hi Experts ,

I am posting the code again:

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'

EXPORTING

jobname = lv_name

IMPORTING

jobcount = lv_number

EXCEPTIONS

cant_create_job = 1

invalid_job_data = 2

jobname_missing = 3

OTHERS = 4.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

EXPORTING

archive_mode = gc_spool_print "For print = '1'

no_dialog = abap_true

IMPORTING

out_parameters = lv_print_parameters

valid = lv_valid_flag

EXPORT fui_fin_split TO MEMORY ID 'CUSTOMER'.

SUBMIT zvrr9333_dummy TO SAP-SPOOL

SPOOL PARAMETERS lv_print_parameters

WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO

VIA JOB lv_name NUMBER lv_number

AND RETURN.

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'

EXPORTING

jobcount = lv_number

jobname = lv_name

strtimmed = abap_true "Immediate Start

MESSAGE 'Spool not created'(e15) TYPE gc_success.

ENDIF.

SELECT jobname

jobcount

stepcount

listident

FROM tbtcp

INTO TABLE gi_spool

WHERE jobname EQ fuv_name

AND jobcount EQ fuv_number.

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

READ TABLE gi_spool INTO lw_spool INDEX 1.

fcv_spoolno = lw_spool-listident.

ENDIF.

SELECT jobname

jobcount

stepcount

listident

FROM tbtcp

INTO TABLE gi_spool

WHERE jobname EQ fuv_name

AND jobcount EQ fuv_number.

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

READ TABLE gi_spool INTO lw_spool INDEX 1.

fcv_spoolno = lw_spool-listident.

ENDIF.

Thanks Sir,

I actually was trying to do that even for the first time but was not aware of the 2500 character limit.So I could not understand why is the code not coming properly.Thanks again...its a new learning for me both ways.

I resolved my problem in this manner:

SUBMIT zvrr9333_dummy TO SAP-SPOOL
                        WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO
                        AND RETURN.

  IMPORT lv_spool TO lv_spool FROM MEMORY ID 'SPOOL'.

The value imported here gives me the spool no. generated in the submitted program zvrr9333_dummy.The corresponding export statement was written after the lis(or grid) ALV call in that program.Also mentioned below:

CALL METHOD go_table->display.      "I am using factory method of ALV
    lv_spool = sy-spono.
    EXPORT lv_spool TO MEMORY ID 'SPOOL'.

Initially i was doing steps not required in this case.
