what are meant by spool requests

[varma_narayana]

Hi..

Spool request means the Output of a Report that can be printed using an Output device.

whenever we execute the Report in Background by default the Output will be Sent to Spool.

We can See the Spool requests (and also print them) in Tcode SP01.

when we give anything for the print command it cannot goes directly to printer. it need to check the printer configrations. so for this before comparing it holds the data in a request and this is called spool request.

u can see that in table se11--> tspo1 ot T.code sp01.

Reard points if happy with the responce given
