Hi Siddivinesh,

The purpose of this parameter(Dialog) is to control whether a dialog box appears before output to the printer. The user can set various spool parameters for the output in this window.

Check function module documentation for more help. If it didn't help then u can try where used list of this FM. U can go to any program and check how they are using this FM.

Check below link also.
