Hi,
Spool Request in Transaction SP01 and there by generated a Spool Request Number.
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.
Output request: From the point of view of the SAP spool system, an output request outputs the print data of a spool request to a particular output device.
Multiple output requests may exist for a single spool request. Each represents an instance of the output of the same spool request. Each of these output requests may have different attributes, such as the target printer or number of copies.
By differentiating between spool request and output requests, the spool system provides a means of storing the data temporarily.
You will get the spool no. in the parameter JOB_OUTPUT_INFO after calling the smartform function module in print program. The spool ids of the prints is stored in table JOB_OUTPUT_INFO-SPOOLIDS.
Also if this spool is being generated internal to your program, then SY-SPONO should have the value.
You need to create an Adobe Form Application, get the data from the backend based on Spool request number.
You can create an application in Webdynpro, wherein when you click on a button and the Adobe Form is displayed with all the data from the backend and you should be able to print it.
Does that answer your question ?
