spool list in background

[Former Member]

Hii everybody,

I am not able to generate the background spool list for this report. When executed in background, the job shows successful execution, but when I see spool status, it shows waiting and the spool has incomplete list. The bottom part of the spool list has all vertical lines... Any guesses what might be the problem? I am able to see the output when report ran in foreground. It is an ALV grid report.

PLese reply me fast as it is urgent.

YOu cannot get the correct output if you use GRID ALV and run it in background.

Background mode and ALV GRID doesn't go together.

YOu have to use an alv list to get the output in background mode.

like:

if sy-batch = 'X'.

call function 'REuse_alv_list_display'

else.

call function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'

endif.

Ravi-

Can you please let me know how is this checkbox named "Printout with date, title and Page number" in the display tabstrip of change layout option is checked by default? I am using normal ALV grid/list function modules.

Thanks

generally ALV in foreground works fine...in background it sometimes gives problem...instead of ALV try using normal report and execute in background...This will generate complete spool list.

HI,

Hi Ahmed,

if you are on Lower Versions, then Try to Call the ALV_LIST_DISPLAY FM instead of Grid in Background.

which version you are in.

if sy-batch = 'X'.

call 'LISTFM'.

else.

Call "GRIDFM'.

endif.

if you are below 4.7 or equal 4.7 try the above solution.
