Problem : Spool Request 0 does not exist ..

[Former Member]

Hi, I have a report to be converted to PDF format and then download the pdf as a local file. The code are as below.

My problem is each time i execute my program, it will show me a message saying "Spool request 0 does not exist". Then i wil have to delete that particular code (the code below), activate the program and then copy and paste back the code (the code below from elsewhere) and activate it again. The code i copied is exactly the same, nothing is changed. But i dont want to practice this method everytime i execute my program.

What are the cause to this problem and how should i solve it ? Please advise me..

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply Naresh. I've tried to call that FM 'CO_PRINT_REFRESH_DATA' but it didn't help. I still get that error message. Please advise.

Hi.. i've added this line

submit (sy-repid) to sap-spool without spool dynpro

spool PARAMETERS mstr_print_parms

and return.

• added before

*-- Find out what the spool number is that was just created

perform get_spool_number using sy-repid

sy-uname

...

...

...

It will keep going back to my selection-screen unless i click the back button. when i click on the back button it will only convert the pdf file and it can be converted succesfully. Is there any way where i can modify the code so that it wont return to the selection-screen again and again when i click one execute ??

Please assist... i need this urgently.. thanks

Hie..just to update. The problem it keeps going back to the same screen when i use Submit (sy-repid) to sap-spool .... is because there's a mandatory field in the selection-screen. Once i removed the mandatory field.. it execute smoothly and as expected. Hope this information can help others.

Cheers,

Loo
