How to combine output from 2 programs into the same spool

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I need to run a program that takes the snapshots of the output screens of 2 Z programs. I want to combine the 2 outputs into the same spool. Can you please let me know what am i missing?

Here is the code -

DATA: PARAMS LIKE PRI_PARAMS,

DAYS(1) TYPE N VALUE 2,

COUNT(3) TYPE N VALUE 1,

LINE_CNT LIKE PRI_PARAMS-LINCT VALUE '65',

LINE_SZE LIKE PRI_PARAMS-LINSZ VALUE '132',

SPOOL_NAME like PRI_PARAMS-PRTXT value 'Test',

VALID TYPE C.

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

EXPORTING

DESTINATION = 'LOCL' "Printer Name

COPIES = COUNT

LIST_NAME = 'Test' "Spool Name

LIST_TEXT = SPOOL_NAME

IMMEDIATELY = ' '

NEW_LIST_ID = 'X'

NO_DIALOG = 'X'

LINE_COUNT = LINE_CNT

LINE_SIZE = LINE_SZE

IMPORTING

OUT_PARAMETERS = PARAMS

VALID = VALID.

SUBMIT ZTEST1 TO SAP-SPOOL AND RETURN

SPOOL PARAMETERS PARAMS

WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO.

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

EXPORTING

DESTINATION = 'LOCL' "Printer Name

COPIES = COUNT

LIST_NAME = 'Test' "Spool Name

LIST_TEXT = SPOOL_NAME

IMMEDIATELY = ' '

• NEW_LIST_ID = 'X'

NEW_LIST_ID = ' ' "output to same spool

NO_DIALOG = 'X'

LINE_COUNT = LINE_CNT

LINE_SIZE = LINE_SZE

IMPORTING

OUT_PARAMETERS = PARAMS

VALID = VALID.

SUBMIT ZTest2 TO SAP-SPOOL AND RETURN

SPOOL PARAMETERS PARAMS

WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO.

set PARAMS-PRNEW = space,

let me know if this works

This is already set.

Then try like this..

DATA: PARAMS LIKE PRI_PARAMS,
DAYS(1) TYPE N VALUE 2,
COUNT(3) TYPE N VALUE 1,
LINE_CNT LIKE PRI_PARAMS-LINCT VALUE '65',
LINE_SZE LIKE PRI_PARAMS-LINSZ VALUE '132',
SPOOL_NAME like PRI_PARAMS-PRTXT value 'Test',
VALID TYPE C.

DATA w_arcpar      TYPE arc_params.

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
EXPORTING
DESTINATION = 'LOCL' "Printer Name
COPIES = COUNT
LIST_NAME = 'Test' "Spool Name
LIST_TEXT = SPOOL_NAME
IMMEDIATELY = ' '
NEW_LIST_ID = 'X'
NO_DIALOG = 'X'
LINE_COUNT = LINE_CNT
LINE_SIZE = LINE_SZE
IMPORTING
out_archive_parameters = w_arcpar
OUT_PARAMETERS = PARAMS
VALID = VALID.
IF VALID NE SPACE AND SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
NEW-PAGE PRINT ON  NEW-SECTION PARAMETERS PARAMS ARCHIVE PARAMETERS w_arcpar NO DIALOG.
     ENDIF.
***
SUBMIT 2 reports here 

NEW-PAGE PRINT OFF.
CALL FUNCTION 'ABAP4_COMMIT_WORK'.
and also check SY-SPONO

Thanks playsuji, but with this addition, it is showing the output from the 2nd submit statement only.

So far, doesn't matter how i submit my reports, i'm only getting 1 output in the spool, and that too, the output from the last sbumit statement i have in my program. I'm looking to have both the outputs from both the submit statements in the same spool.

sap help mentions this:

Addition 4

... TO SAP-SPOOL spool_options

Effect

This addition causes a new print list level to be opened in the internal session of the program called and assures that the first output statement for the basic list creates a new spool request. All list outputs of the program called are transferred as print lists, page by page, to the SAP spool system. Using the spool_options additions, the print parameters and archiving parameters of the spool request are specified.

may be thats the cause, one alternate would be to submit report with the option _EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY

AND RETURN. _ then save the list from memory to an internal table using FM LIST_FROM_MEMORY, submit second report to memory get the output and check if these 2 internal tables can be combined,

and then send the combined internal table to SPOOL,
