Single Spool for multiple steps

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a requirement, where in for multiple steps in a job i need single spool.

Single spool is created for multiple steps when i am running the back ground job with my user id. The problem is when running the same job with the batch user id, more than one spool is created. I have checked the settings of the batch id and even marked it as dialog user still more than one spool is getting created.

Pls let me know why this problem is happening.

Thanks,

Raju

Check the user profile (SU01) of your batch user, "output immediately" should be deactivated. Also check the print parameters in the job steps, "new spool request" should be deactivated.

I haven't tried this in a while, but the answer should be somewhere around these settings.
