Spool output format issue

Hi all,
I am facing an issue when I run one of my custom ALV reports in the background.
There is a one line gap between each line of the output when we check the spool content.
I tried to change the number of columns in the existing printer format to 1023
and also set the SAP spool system settings check box which is
'' SP01:Number of columns from list display from format"
Request your suggesions.
Murthy

Hi,
What I was able to understand is that spool output cannot accomidate beyond 1023 characters.
I created a work writing the content on to Application server files.
Then created a new custom program which will download the application file content to Excel.

Murthy

Changing the file format of spool output when scheduling a background job.

Hello Experts,
I have an issue. It is related to Spool output format. I created a job for one report program for which the output is a list output. I have added one recipient in the 'Spool list recipient' while creating the job SM36. After the job is finished the spool output is sent to the recipient mail id as .htm format as an attachment. But the attachment should be excel sheet or text file. No coding in the program should be used to convert the file format. Only settings in the spool while creating job should be manipulated. Please help me in solving this issue.
Regards.

Hi Sunil,
You can use the logic for converting spool to PDF using program : RSTXPDFT4 . Alternatively you can use FM: CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF . In this FM you need to pass the Spool id .
u can make use of these FM's SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1
SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1
Check out the following wiki:

hope this will use full to you.
Thanks!!

Output Device and Format issues in Background?

Hi, all:
I have a issue. when I run the job as the background. whatever I choose which Output Device and Output Format. after finishing job. double click on the spool number. the Output Device is always LP01. Format is X_PAPER.
Anybody knows what happend in SAP.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Yunfa Zhang,
what is defined as ABAP program in the Job's step? Maybe it ignores whatever you specify and reads the LP01 from somwwhere else, i.e. your user settings.

Spool output in Excel sheet format

Hi,
We have background job , which creates a spool output in Internet Explorer format. Customer needs this in Excel format.
Wondering, if any authorizations to be changed for file type? or this is a set in program level?
Thanks,
Sam

Yes....Currently the customer email address is added to "Spool list Recipient" in SM37. This way, spool output is sent to customer through email. Currently it is in HTML format.

Need Spool output file in Excel format

Hi,
We have background job , which creates a spool output in Internet Explorer format. Customer needs this in Excel format.
Wondering, if any authorizations to be changed for file type? or this is a set in program level?
Thanks,

Hi Sam,
This need to be fixed at the program level only,so you need an ABAPer to make the changes in out put. There is nothing to do with authorizations.

Issue in spool output

Hi all,
I have one issue in the spool output.
In the spool output I see some strange results. At the first column the values COL1N, COL1H, COL0N, COL0H, COL2N .... were getting displayed at the first column in every row. Any one of the above values will be getting displayed in each row.
After that some contents are getting displayed out of which some values got truncated in production.
The sample out put is getting displayed like below.
| COL1H | heading1 | heading2 |......
| COL2N | row1 value1| row1 value 2| ....................
This is the sample output where the other values (other than col1n, col1h) are coming from the program from internal table.
After executing the similar job in production after three days it went fine.
Kindly let me know what is the issue why did it happen so two days before like that.
Thanks and Regards,
M.K. Sanath Kumar.

I can sense about printer settings - can you please check if anybody changed printer settings in those three days?

Hi,
If you are getting and using the Print parameters using the Function Module 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS',
check the exporting parameters line_size, line_count and layout, as in example below:
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
       EXPORTING
            destination    = '    '
            copies         = '1'
            list_name      = 'LISTNAME'
            list_text      = 'LISTTEXT'
            immediately    = ' '
            release        = 'X'
            new_list_id    = 'X'
            line_size      = 132
            line_count     = 65
            layout         = 'X_65_132'
            sap_cover_page = ' '
            cover_page     = ' '
            receiver       = sy-uname
            no_dialog      = 'X'
       IMPORTING
            out_parameters = params
            valid          = valid.

Hi Mahi,
Thanks for your response. But i could not understand how can we write wrapper program could you please give some light on this or provide some link it would be helpful for me:-)
I have read that blog for excel limitations but i have more question?
1) What about the negative values?
if any field is displaying negative amount then excel not displaying right value for that:(
2)How can we align header or data?
Do XMLP with EBS provide any solution for formatting in excel?
3) If for the alignment of numeric value we concatenate them with any special character then how can we perform calculation that field?
Here are so many formatting issues do we need to write any code in xml for that?
Please help.
Many Thanks,
Pragati

Spool output not appearing on one page

Hello Experts,
When program runs in foreground, I am getting correct output i.e. ALV blocks are displayed on one page only.
But when running same program in background, I got output in spool and when looked at spool output that time I realized that the ALV blocks are getting printed on new page.
So instead of displaying 4 pages it is displaying 8 pages in spool.
I ran the same report on quality in FOreground as well as background and output appears to be correct.
But not sure why it is giving distorted (printed on new pages) in SPOOL output.
Appreciate your help.
Thank you.
Saurabh

HI Saurabh,
Check the Layout which you are passing which scheduling the job. It seems to be a different layout as compared to other system & hence the issue.
Thanks,

HI
If the output is sapscript, you can convert it into PDF format . There is one standard report RSTXPDFT2 to convert into PDF .
Before Execute you will have to create a spool request . when you will execute this report you will have to enter the
spool no. Then you can send this PDF file as attachment.
Hope this will helpful.

SAP Query format issue (with ABAP list)

Hi All,
I had a requirement to remove all unecessary formatting and text from a SAP query report which can be read by a third party software system. We need only Header line and report data (spaced by Tab).
I have removed all formatting from the report and changed the output format from "SAP list viewer" to "ABAP list" .
The issue is that the report shows material number with 12 digits in output but when we download to file then it adds extra six "0" and makes the Material Number field as 18 digit.
we have already maintained new length as 12 againts the standard length 18 for material number(under field output option)
Please suggest how to get rid of extra digits generated during downloading.
Please help,
Thanks,
Rohit

Hi Brad,
Currently we execute query with SQ01 and from the output screen the user direclty saves the file as "local file..."
The output format is "abap list". We are able to get the exact format but the only problem is with material number. I cant make changes in the program. Is there a way to download it without changing the 12 character ( as displayed on the report output)
Thanks for help.
Rohit
