Program to Print Preview from Spool

[Former Member]

Hello gurus,

I hope you guys could help me out...my requirement is to write an ABAP program that receives a spool number and displays its print preview to the user from there user can choose to print or delete the spool number

Any advices ?:)

Hi,

y dont you use the standard transactions

sp01 or sp02

in which the user can see all the spool requests...

thanks & regards,

Hi ..

Call this FM to generate the Print preview from SPOOL

CALL FUNCTION 'RSPO_OUTPUT_SPOOL_REQUEST'

EXPORTING

spool_request_id = hrqident

EXCEPTIONS

OTHERS = 0.

this fm directly prints the spool...

i want to print preview it

Hi Chun,

Use the below Function module:

RSPO_DISPLAY_SPOOLJOB passing the spool job number to this..

It will display the preview of the spool and if the user wants to print it, he can goto LIST-->PRINT in the menu bar..

Thanks and Best Regards,

Enter the Spool No.

CLick Execute

Hello Prashant,

I tried BDC and when I click preview for the smartform...its is displayed as a list instead of a a OTF format form

this however doesnt occur when i manully access SP01

any idea why this is happening?

[Former Member]

Execute SP01

Goto->Display Request -> Settings

Select Graphical Format

[Former Member]

thanks prashant...but its already in graphical mode...

when i access SP01 with out BDC it displays the form...

however when i access SP01 via BDC....it displays the list ( i checked the setting at this point and it is still graphical)

could this be because i am list processing mode and SAP automatically converts it into a list as well?

[Former Member]

Yes that could be the reason otherwise if you have set to Graphical mode then SAP will display the output in graphical format.

wonder is there is any other way to do this
