Spool not generated

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am generating a simple list report. When i run the program in background, the job has 'finished' status and the spool icon is present but when i check the job and click on the spool button, the message 'no list available' was returned. I looked at the user profile setting and unmarked the output controller setting. This only happens in PROD. Any idea on how to troubleshoot this? Thanks in advance!

Hi

First make sure that your output contains some Data.Then check your program, in case if you are using some SUBMIT statement and you are generating list from the submit program you will not get a spool output. In SM36 still it will show 'FINISHED' also it will show that spool icon also.Also make sure u r not using GUI_UPLOAD this one also will not work in background. Also you can discuss this issue with your basis guy also because sometimes your printer settings (in production and development it may be different) will have some problems..

Thanks! It was solved by editing the print specification setting in SM36.
