Spool generated if there is no data by program

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I need to seek your help in regards of spool.

When a program is executed in background, if there is no data returned by program then it generates a spool saying that 'List contains no data'. Is there any way where we can ask system not to generate spool if there is no data returned by spool.

Regards,

Gaurav

It's not feasible to answer this correctly without knowing what exactly triggers the spool.

There might as well be just a WRITE command that outputs this line. (I've seen this in too many programs, unfortunately.) Or the program might have an ALV list and this could be the ALV summary page. Who knows.

Please understand that there is no general system setting for this. Look in the specific program.

Maybe LEAVE LIST-PROCESSING could do the trick...

Quynh Doan Manh if the program can be modified, then it's better to just skip the statement WRITE 'List contains no data'. As Jelena said, the OP didn't explain the context so it's difficult to answer.
