Hi

Spool request: A spool request is a document for which a print function has been selected. However, it has not yet been output to a printer or another device. The output data for the print document is stored partly formatted in a data store until an output request is created, that is, until it is sent to a particular output device.

The spool system uses a spool request to store the print data temporarily and to access it. The data is stored in a temporary format. You can also display the print document.

The system automatically assigns a 10-digit ID number to a spool request.

Exporting the Contents of a Spool Request

Use

You want to export the contents of a spool request as a text file to the SAP GUI working directory or to a directory of your choice. The content of the spool request is downloaded as plain text without, for example, graphics, images, or specific fonts.

The following procedures are irrelevant for the PDF-based form printing integrated as of SAP Web Application Server 6.40, since the print data can be opened and stored as a PDF. See also Displaying and Printing PDF-Based Forms.

Procedure

Exporting to the SAP GUI Working Directory:

Choose Spool Request ® Forward® Export as Text.

The entire text is stored in your SAP GUI working directory in ASCII format.

A file of this type is named using the following pattern:

.txt

Example: ABC0000004327.txt

You require appropriate authorization for this function.

Exporting to a Directory of Your Choice:

With this method of exporting a spool request, the content of the spool request is first displayed and you then download the screen list as a text file to the directory of your choice.

...

1. Select the spool request to be exported and choose Display Contents.

2. In the case of SAPScript/Smart Forms documents, activate list display by choosing Goto.

3. Choose System ® List ® Save ® Local File.

4. Choose one of the available formats and confirm your choice.

5. Choose a directory and save the spool request.

By default, only the first 10 pages of a spool request are saved in a file. You can increase the number of pages to be saved by choosing Goto ® Display Requests ® Settings and making the desired entries in the Display Area group box.

Hi,

When ever you execute the program in back ground, the output of that program is stored in spool with a spool request number.

You can also submit the program to spool also.

Refer the transaction code SP01 and the table TSP01.
