Extracting spool no in ME21N

Hi Guys,
I have a requirement of saving a PO as a pdf locally while it is created and being saved, i used the BADI ME_PURCHDOC_POSTED and method POSTED to achieve this.
But when i open the PDF , i find that it saves the PO which was created earlier. Like for example PO421 is saved while 422 is created, This is due to the spool number in TSP01 is not updated till this save action is over. so it is picking up the last spool no and converting it into PDF.
I need to eliminate this and i need to know if i can find a spool no before it is updated in TSP01 or is their any other BADI which runs right immediately after the save option so that i can take the latest spool no.
All suggestions are greatly appreciated and rewarded.
Regards,
K

Hi Ken,
How are you creating the spool?
I'm assuming it is created via a smartform/sapscript program associated with an output type?
If that is the case you could perform your PDF processing within the program associated with the output type. The spool id is returned to you when you call a smartform in the job_output_info parameter.
Is that of any help or are you creating the spool via another means?

Darren

Extracting data into different flat files

I am using oracle 10g.
I've to run a very complex query that will extract/spool around 300 million records. It is so expensive to run the query multiple times. I want to run the query once but spool all the jobs into chunks of different files
so for 300 million records, I want to split the records into 10 different files of 30 million records each. Is it possible to do so??
Thanks

Hello,
Technically it doesn't make any sense and make it poor solution over spooling a file and then splitting. But if O/P comes back and says table is partitioned, now I can use 2 different solution (utl_file or spooling using sqlplus). I will then rely on shell script which will lauch query based on partition and spool a file, once done it close the file and opens a new one for next partition and so on.

To show the list in complete format when creating an background job

Hi ,
I need to show the list in full format when after running a report in background.
In sm37 after the job run the the full list is not shown.
when I click on 'Show complete list 'it will show the complete list.
My requirement is I want this option in default .Is there any thing we can do by configuration or is there any chance of enhancement
kindly help
thanks and regards,
Subeesh Kannottil

Hi Subeesh,
It is one of the standard setting provided by SAP for extracting spool output.In most of the case it is sufficient. Incase of special requirement we can do as below.
In SM37,open the spool and click the icon Display in Maximum Width or (Shift+F4). Then the complete list will be displayed.

Extracting a Report from SAP Spool into a Useful Excel 2010 Format

Hi All,
Extracting a Report from SAP Spool into a Useful Excel 2010 Format. I'm currently running the following report in SAP and would like the
ability to set this report up as a recurring report running weekly and
subsequently access this report in a useable Excel 2010 format without
much data manipulation. Can you please assist me. Below, I've tried to
provide an example of what I'm encountering. Thanks, beforehand for
your assistance.
Here goes:
Step one: Run 62 Report in SAP S_P99_41000062- Material List Price and
Inventory
Step 2. Select stored Variant "Weekly KPI", ok. Enter the enter the
desired company code and period I want thre report to run for and update
the currency, if necessary. Having input my desired criteria, I believe
I can either execute immediately, run in the background, preset to run
at date in the future. For this example let's just execute, immediately.
This is where the difference originates. Given, I run this report
immediately, I'm able to simply extract the result to Excel via the list
selection noted in the tool bar below. The result is a data friendly
excel 2007 report is automatically generated.
Export to Excel via list:
Select save and Excel 2007 opens automatically:
That said, the method outlined above works perfectly fine if you want
the report immediately. Now let go back and run the exact same report
with exceptoin of running it in the background and having to retrieve it
from the Spool (SP01) uisng my user ID. Given the report generated in
the background, I would now access the report via the spool and make
the following selections:
SP01 + execute to see my report
I would hit the sunglasses to see the actual report, then want to
extract this report to Excel by selecting the export option.
I would at this point select spreadsheet and be given an option to save
the spreadsheet to local file. However, upon trying to open the
spreadsheet I will receive an error messageindicating that the format is
different than that which the file I am currently trying to open it
with. I'm currently running Excel 2010 on my computer. The currency
format and other issues arrise with this extract. Please help.
Thanks,
Chowadary.

Update to Latest GUI.
Use List -> Export -> Spreadsheet to get the output to excel.
I remember in ALV max length allowed is 1023 characters and the max no of columns supported is 90. Issue occurs when row size of exported data gets more than 1023 character. (This includes if Long/Medium Header Text used ) If it exceed 1023 character the columns splits and moves to next row.
Check your fieldcatog for header lengths.

ME21N - Get output messages spool number

Hi,
I need some user exit or BADI that allow me to get the number of the spool object that will be available for output messages on TSP01 table after saving the PO in ME21N.
I've tried to implement ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST method POST but have no idea is the spool is already available at this moment and how to get it number.
Does anyone has already experienced something that could help me on this?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Hugo Braz

Hi Dude,
Try this..
1. Go to txn. NACE...
2. Choose the Application "EF" then clcik on "Output Types" button,
3. Choose your output Type "NEU".. then double click on "Mail title and Text"
4. Here please maintain "&EKKO-EBELN&" under title field.
From now onwards if you do print out the system will store the PO number in this field "RQTITLE" of table TSP01. So you can get the details of Spool no. against PO number.
Regards
GK.

Thanks alot in advanceYou can create a batch file in window and then setting appropriate environment setting you can do
sqlplus user/pass@connect @scriptnamewhere scriptname is you above script.
You can then schedule this in windows schduler
However excel can not handle more than 1,048,576 rown as of version 2010
You can save the spool as html file and you will able to view the resultset.

What happens to attachment in a PO when it is converted to PDF using SPOOL.

Hi Experts,
While converting a PO to PDF using a spool number, it works fine but i have a question as If the PO has an attachment, does the spool take care of that also?
If not how to download the attachment as well.
Thanks & Regards,
K

Hi Shan,
No in ME21N there is a tab called Attachment, by which we can attach a note or something(I am thou not sure why this is done), yes a script is generated into a PDF but this attachment which is part of PO does it get attached or we need to do somthing to attach it to PDF was my question?
Cheers,

Generate Insert Statement Script to Extract Data from Table in Oracle 7i

Hi all, I have an old Oracle legacy system that is running for over 15 years.Every now and then we need to extract data from this table@ ORacle 7i to be imported back to Oracle 10G.
My thoughts are to create a script of Insert statements in oracle 7 and that to be deployed back to Oracle 10G.

Thanks Justin.
I get what you are saying,i really wanted to see the output of the codes, because the furtherst i could get from that code is

How to extract the column width in ALv report if its executed in background

I am executing an ALV report in background , in front end i am getting data properly, in back end for some columns some of the digits are missing.For example if PO no is of 10 digits it will display only 8 becos column size is like that , how to extract coulmns in back ground.
I have executed in background and checked the spool and for some of the columns width is not sufficient to display comeplete data so please suggest how to extract the columns sizes if executed inj background for an ALV

Hi Deepthi,
you can try with the above mentioned suggestions ,if its worked its fine ,
If not use Docking container instead of custom container, For ALV in back ground jobs, its suggest to use docking container instead of custom container , below you can find the declaration for docking container and code to use docking and custom container in your program for fore and back ground.
or you can use docking container alone for both operations.
Data : G_DOCK1 TYPE REF TO CL_GUI_DOCKING_CONTAINER,
IF CCON IS INITIAL. (ccon is container name )
*Check whether the program is run in batch or foreground
    IF CL_GUI_ALV_GRID=>OFFLINE( ) IS INITIAL.
*Run in foreground
      CREATE OBJECT CCON
        EXPORTING
          CONTAINER_NAME = 'CON1'.
    CREATE OBJECT GRID1
        EXPORTING
          I_PARENT = parent_1.
ELSE.
*Run in background
      CREATE OBJECT GRID1
        EXPORTING
          I_PARENT = G_DOCK1.
