Spool ID not generated

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am running a t-code where I give a delivery number and a ABAP program runs in the background to create the invoice of the delivery document.

The t-code is used for generating a Spool id so that in a dedicated printing format, the invoice will be sent for printing using the spool.

Can anyone suggest on the following :

• when a spool id will not be generated? I checked in ST22 transaction and there was no run time dump.
• what is the process to generate a spool id ? what is the function module used for it?

Please reply.

Regards,

Anshuman

To insure generation of spool you can use statement NEW-PAGE PRINT ON or other options described in Print List Levels and Spool Requests. (You can also use tools as Sap Script, Smartforms or Adobe)

In the executing program sy-spono contains the last spool id opened.

For a background job, after execution, you can find spool ids in table TBTCP (only one spool per step) and TBTC_SPOOLID (mutiple spool ids per job step) - also use SM37

Perform also some search on GET or SET_PRINT_PARAMETERS.

Hi Raymond,

Thank you for the information.

I want a help added to it. I work as a functional consultant and I know ABAP. But there is a different team which works for ABAP.

What error/suggestion should i give them to check because of which the spool id is not getting generated?

Kindly reply.

Anshuman,

Driver Program and Script/Smartform will be maintained in NACE.You can ask them to check the driver program by putting a break point to see why a spool is not getting generated.In addition to this you should also share the info regarding SO and Delivery Cycle with details like Sales Area,Document type etc.
