XSF output not coming fully in spool

Hi,

I have created a smarform and have given the output format as XSF.

Once the spool request is created and when I check it in SP01, the data that is there in the smartform is not coming fully.

eg : if there are 2 texts in the smarforms its displayingg only the details upto the first text. There is no information on the second text in the xsf output.

       even the details of the first text are not shown fully.

Regards,

Vivek.

Hi,

Hi Janis,

I checked the same, its still showing the truncated data.

I think its issue with the output device.

Thanks,

Vivek.

In your spool in SP01 click on 'Settings', then 'Display Area' should defaults to the number of Pages, simply click on green tick. Then you will get popup saying display could cause memory overflow, simply click green tick again.

Are you using correct Printer type? Please refer the standard settings here: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/en/a5/28d3b6d26211d4b646006094192fe3/content.htm maybe this will help.

Hi Glen,

I configured a output device with device type XSF.

Still the output that I am getting is truncated.

In the smartforms I have maintained 2 texts.

AAAAAAA

&

Test1

Test2

Test3

in my smartform. But when I see the XSF output the following is getting displayed.

The output shown when  I select RAW and HEX is also different from graphical.

The data that is displayed is different for these 3 formats.

Also the point at which they are getting truncated is different.

Thanks,

Vivek.

In RAW format, are you unable to scroll right?

Hi,

Can you please check (or ask some Basis person to check), whether OSS Notes:

1226758 - Display of wide spool requests in SP01

1618845 - Displaying wide spool requests in SP01 (2)

1795222 - RDI requests are truncated in SP01 display

are relevant to your system?

Is this setting set in your system in Transaction SPAD (via menu Settings->Spool System Other Tab):

Also, just to be sure, can you please export your test smartform as xml and attach it here?

cheers

Hi Janis,

I checked with the basis team.

They are saying since the current version is 740, all the changes have already been incorporated.

I have checked whether the FM mentioned above is already there, and it was present.

Current basis version of the system is 740.

But its not there in the valid releases list, Is that a problem?

I also checked in SPAD , the check box is already selected.

Thanks,

Vivek.

No, I don't think the missing correction for 740 should lead to a problem in note 1795222, though you can try to check, if you see in your system the corrections from other releases in the code of corrected objects, and just to be sure also point it out to SAP support if/when you create incident with them.

Hi,

In that case, I suspect there is some bug in SP01 display introduced in 740 (I'm on 702). Just to be sure, see if you can reproduce the behavior using program SF_XSF_DEMO using output mode S:

If the output display in SP01 is truncated for the demo as well, I'd report it to OSS and let SAP sort it out then. Give them a link to this thread as well; hopefully you'll get through first level support faster that way.

In case you don't have the demo test data in the system yet, it can be generated using SAPBC_DATA_GENERATOR.

Hello Vivek,

the reason why the XSF data will not be fully displayed in transaction SP01 is that it was never intended to do so.

SP01 should be only used to print preview ABAP lists, SAPScripts/SmartForms and ADS (Adobe Document Services) PDFs. All other data types (like raw print data from transactions CO03 / CO11N) can not be print previewed.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but if the printout / processing of the XSF spool is correct, then there are no program errors here.

Best regards,

Laszlo

Ok... thanks, good to know, but I'm still puzzled, how come I don't seem to get cut off output on 702 in RAW display mode?

If I understand correctly there are some R/3 releases where SP01 displays full row width, and some releases where it cuts off (like Vivek mentioned)... chances are I flew over a parameter which could adjust this function, but even if there was such a parameter, SP01 is not exactly meant for this purpose.

(Also: I guess it is better to preview a "nice" SAPScript / SmartForm than an "ugly" XSF code, but that's just an opinion. )

Best regards,

Laszlo

Old tread, but the issue still seems to be there, after upgrade to 740, spoolfiles are truncated when displaying in SP01. 

Previously if button "Display in full width" were used the whole spool was accessable.

Anyone found any solution? Can´t see any relevant notes ither.
