Problem in spool report

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have executed one report(Z report) in Production by Background, that has generated Spool report.

My problem is some fields are cut-off(missing) from that spool report.

Please provide the solution ASP.

Regards,

DSK.

You need to change the Line Size in the header of the report to avoid line cutting.

Hi Kumar

Check the Line-Size parameter in ur Report.

Spool won't support more than 255 character length.

Hi DS

Do one thing: Configure your text editor as follws:

Go to Utilities->Settings->Downwards-Compatible Line Length(72) .

Hope you can away from the spool request now.

Have a look on the OSS note:

Summary

Symptom

A list that includes more than 255 columns in the background is supposed to be issued. Instead of broad list lines being distributed on several printed lines for every 255 columns, only a single truncated printed line appears.

Other terms

Lists, print, 255 columns

Reason and Prerequisites

A Support Package which allows the printing of broad lists was imported. This creates a broad line of print with more than 255 columns in the spool. Generally, this is desired.However, the problem occurs if no corresponding format is defined because the default format X_65_255 truncates the line correspondingly at the print output.

Solution

1.) Define a format which can output the required number of printing columns.

2.) Using the attached correction, the number of columns in the print dialog can be changed in this special case.If a column figure of 255 is now entered, the old behavior is active again.The correction is only effective if you imported note 501826 beforehand.

Hi,

1. Change the line-size to 308

REPORT ZPROGRAM LINE-SIZE 308.

2. If possible try to reduce the width of the output internal table from 308 to 255.

3. Goto service.sap.com & in the search text put "Spool truncated in background".

You will get a sap note for the same.

Best regards,

Prashant
