Vishnu,

Just use <b>sy-spono</b> anywhr after your first Write statement.It will give you the spool number generated by the system.

You can get the spool number from the table <b>TSP01</b> also.

I tried using SY-SPONO, the problem is SY-SPONO is not set after the SUBMIT command both in foreground and background modes.

I want to access the spool created by a SUBMIT command in the calling program.

I think, I have found out a way to do this, will have to test.. but if there is any better way...

  submit (p_repid) to sap-spool without spool dynpro
                   spool parameters mstr_print_parms
                   via selection-screen
                   and return.
*-- Find out what the spool number is that was just created
  perform get_spool_number using sy-repid
             sy-uname
    changing mi_rqident.



  form get_spool_number using f_repid
     f_uname
                changing f_rqident.
  data:
    lc_rq2name like tsp01-rq2name.
  concatenate f_repid+0(8)
              f_uname+0(3)
    into lc_rq2name separated by '_'.
  select * from tsp01 where  rq2name = lc_rq2name
  order by rqcretime descending.
    f_rqident = tsp01-rqident.
    exit.
  endselect.
  if sy-subrc ne 0.
    clear f_rqident.
  endif.
endform." get_spool_number

Hope u r on right track and it will work.

We have either to use sy-spono or tsp01 table.

Im also using the same logic and it works fine.
