hi,
The easiest way of printing a list while creating it, is for the user to choose Execute + print on the report's selection screen. The user can choose between displaying the list on the screen (choosing Execute) or printing it directly without displaying it (choosing Execute + print).
use this function module <b>SET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'</b> to send a report directly to spool.
<b>sample program.</b>
REPORT SAPMZTST NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING LINE-COUNT 0(2).
PARAMETERS P TYPE I.
INITIALIZATION.
  CALL FUNCTION 'SET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
       EXPORTING
            ARCHIVE_MODE   = '3'
            COPIES         = '5'
            DEPARTMENT     = 'BASIS'
            DESTINATION    = 'LT50'
            EXPIRATION     = ' '
            IMMEDIATELY    = 'X'
            LAYOUT         = 'X_65_132'
            LINE_COUNT     = 54
            LINE_SIZE      = 20
            LIST_NAME      = 'Test'
            LIST_TEXT      = 'Test for User''s Guide'
            NEW_LIST_ID    = 'X'
            RECEIVER       = 'KELLERH'
            RELEASE        = ' '
            SAP_COVER_PAGE = 'X'.
START-OF-SELECTION.
  DO P TIMES.
    WRITE / SY-INDEX.
  ENDDO.
TOP-OF-PAGE.
  WRITE: 'Page', SY-PAGNO.
  ULINE.
END-OF-PAGE.
  ULINE.
  WRITE: 'End of', SY-PAGNO.

Printing Lists
You can send a list from a called program directly to the spool system instead of displaying it on the screen. To do this, use the TO SAP-SPOOL addition in the SUBMIT statement:
<b>SUBMIT... TO SAP-SPOOL print-parameters.</b>
