What is main use of spool request

hi,
help me.

hi
Output request to the SAP spool system. In ABAP programs, spool requests can be opened with the statements NEW-PAGE PRINT ON and SUBMIT TO SAP-SPOOL . During a spool request, the system processes the print list of the current program. When the spool request is opened, the system determines print parameters that can no longer be changed. An internal mode can not managed more than one spool request at a time.
thanks
Sachin

How do you preview using a spool request number

How do you preview using a spool request number?
I have an application in which I have accumulated the results from several smartforms into one spool request. I have the spool request number, and am printing it using function RSPO_RPRINT_SPOOLREQ.
I need to be able to preview the contents of the spool request before printing. I can not preview when generating the smartforms, as that involves several previews, and I need to preview once only per spool request.
I have been trying to use RSPO_RDISPLAY_OUTREQ but it dumps immediately (line 47) with field symbol <FTSP01> not assigned.
Suggestions?

Reprinting using same spool request

Hello Friends,
We have a business requirement to reprint of the SAP documemt (delivery, packing list etc). We have a output procedure attached to each SAP document, during the document process, system triggers the output and issues a output for the physical printer assigned to device.
Now we have a requirement to re use the output to print on other physical printers, it mean when a spool is generated from the first time , then by using the same spool request Number instead regenerating the new spool, we need to generate output from different physical printers.
Please suggest how this can be possible -
1. How we can reuse the same spool for reprinting
2. How to communicate system to print in different physical printers using existing spool
Appreciate your
Best Regards,
Goutham

Hello
1. How we can reuse the same spool for reprinting
You can, but, provide you have Value for authorization (TSP01SYS-RQAUTH) to do so.
In general, reprinting of spools is avoided.
Instead you can add again the output type manually and execute.
2. How to communicate system to print in different physical printers using existing spool
But, you can't do this.
Again same suggestion, instead you can manually add the output type & provide the printer details in the transaction doc and execute.

JP

Use of Spool request

Dear All,
Sorry for posting some basic questions. But I am not clear in basics of this topic.
Please explain me some basics about Spool request.
1. When the spool will be generated, how to identify in the delivery that, some spool got generated for those output types in the Deliver?
2. Is the spool generation printer oriented? For example, if I have only Dot matrix printer, is it possible to generate Spool?
3. In the Delivery, if I have 5 Similar output types (LD00), does it generate 5 different Spool or 1 Spool?
4. In the Delivery, if I have 5 Different output types (LD00, LD01, LD02, LD03, LD04), does it generate 5 different Spool or 1 Spool?
3. After the Spool generated, in SP02, how to identify the particular spool which is generated for a particular output? For example, I need to identify the output LD00 for a particular Delivery, is that possible?
4. How to identify the Spool retention period?
Regards,
Mullairaja

1. When the spool will be generated, how to identify in the delivery that, some spool got generated for those output types in the Deliver?
Via the status of the output type.
2. Is the spool generation printer oriented? For example, if I have only Dot matrix printer, is it possible to generate Spool?
It is triggered via the output type.
3. In the Delivery, if I have 5 Similar output types (LD00), does it generate 5 different Spool or 1 Spool?
5, per each output type, doesn't matter whether it is the same output type.
4. In the Delivery, if I have 5 Different output types (LD00, LD01, LD02, LD03, LD04), does it generate 5 different Spool or 1 Spool?
5 different spools
3. After the Spool generated, in SP02, how to identify the particular spool which is generated for a particular output? For example, I need to identify the output LD00 for a particular Delivery, is that possible?
You cannot identify the deilvery however, by maintainting the output as the 'spool request name' or 'suffix1' or suffix 2' in the output condition record you may identify the output type in SP02.
4. How to identify the Spool retention period?
It is set at OS level. cant tell from spools.

Wht is a spool request explain me in detail?

Hi I want t know what is a spool request and wht is a spool request number
explan me thanking u
cheers

Hi,
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.
Please check this link for more information.

Smartform internal_error when merging forms into 1 spool request

Hi,
I have 2 smartforms - a letter and a certificate. The user has the option to print either one of these forms or both, per employee. I'm using 1 spool request.
As soon as I call the second smartform there is an INTERNAL_ERROR. Why does this happen and how do I solve the problem?
Please refer to the code sample below:
loop at i380.
make sure the spool is not closed
control_parameters-no_open = 'X'.
control_parameters-no_close = 'X'.
AT FIRST.
 control_parameters-no_open = ' '.
ENDAT.
AT LAST.
 control_parameters-no_close = ' '.
ENDAT.
call smartform 1
 call function 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
 EXPORTING
 formname = 'ZLETTER'
 IMPORTING
 FM_NAME = FM_NAME
 EXCEPTIONS
 NO_FORM = 1
 NO_FUNCTION_MODULE = 2
 OTHERS = 3.
 if sy-subrc <> 0.
 WRITE: / 'ERROR 1'.
 endif.
 CALL FUNCTION FM_NAME
 EXPORTING
 CONTROL_PARAMETERS = control_parameters
 OUTPUT_OPTIONS = output_options
 USER_SETTINGS = ' '
 pernr = i380-pernr
 IMPORTING
 JOB_OUTPUT_INFO = otf_info
 EXCEPTIONS
 FORMATTING_ERROR = 1
 INTERNAL_ERROR = 2
 SEND_ERROR = 3
 USER_CANCELED = 4
 OTHERS = 5.
 IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
 endif.
second smartform - certificate
 call function 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME'
 EXPORTING
 formname = 'ZCERTIFICATE'
 IMPORTING
 FM_NAME = FM_NAME2
 EXCEPTIONS
 NO_FORM = 1
 NO_FUNCTION_MODULE = 2
 OTHERS = 3.
 if sy-subrc <> 0.
 WRITE: / 'ERROR 1'.
 endif.
 CALL FUNCTION FM_NAME2
 EXPORTING
 CONTROL_PARAMETERS = control_parameters
 OUTPUT_OPTIONS = output_options
 USER_SETTINGS = ' '
 pernr = i380-pernr
 IMPORTING
 JOB_OUTPUT_INFO = otf_info
 EXCEPTIONS
 FORMATTING_ERROR = 1
 INTERNAL_ERROR = 2 SEND_ERROR = 3
 USER_CANCELED = 4
 OTHERS = 5.
 IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
 ENDIF.
endloop.
I cleared output_parameters, output_options and otf_info when calling form ZCERTIFICATE but this does not solve the problem. When ZCERTIFICATE is called seperately, there is no problem. The forms should be printed directly without conversion to PDF.
Your help will be appreciated.

Hi,
In the loop AT Last is in wrong place. May be that could be the reason for your problem. Then the second call to samrt from is will be working on a closed session.

How to print Spool requests for cheque printing sequentially

Dear All,
I am making vendor payments and printing cheques using F-58. It automatically creates a spool requests at the end of the transaction. When i complete all my payments and go to SP01 for viewing spool requests, the last request appears at the top of the list.
If i select 3 consecutive requests and print them at a time, the last request gets printed first on the first cheque number and the first request gets printed on the last cheque number.
This results in anomaly in the cheque number assigned in the system and the printed cheque as the last payment is printed on the first cheque.
I am using dot matrix printer with page format fixed for cheque specifications. The cheques are printed properly as per the format except the order of printing.
Kindly let me know how to print multiple requests sequentially from the spool requests list such that the spool request number printed matches with the serial cheque numbers.
Regards,
SAP_2009

Hi,
I understod your issue.
Whenever you posted multiple payment documents, and after that if you want to take cheque printouts sequentially by using more spool requests.........there is a way to sort out this issue.
1) Select all of your spool requests and click on Sort in ascending Order (CtrlShiftF5) and click on Print directly (CtrlShiftF8). By doing this you will get the cheque printouts sequentially according to your payment document sequence.
Hope this will help you
Assign ********, if it solved your problem.
Thanks,

Link between spool request & abap program

Hi all,
I m looking for the link table between a spool request and the corresponding job and abap program.
I want to select all spool requests generated via een job via een abap program.
Some suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
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.
Spool requests can be viewed via tcode SP01, the number will be there, programatiically it is sometimes populated in the system field SY-SPONO.
It will take input parameters through the selection screen variants and process the code normally as foreground when we are writing the output to list it will generate the spool.

Creating spool requests using smartforms

hi folks,
I need help in this area...
I have an ABAP print program that I run to create monthly statements. There are two categories while running the monthly statements identified by the code '6' or '7' Now, i have to create separate spool requests so that while running the print program for these monthly customers.
How can I do this?
Santhosh

Ok, first lets say that ACCITAB has the records that are printed in the main window of the form. The number of pages for each customer depends on how many records are present in the ACCITAB for the customer.
For example.... ACCITAB.

Lets say we have two customers in our table, customer 1234 has only two records associated with him, customer 5678 has like 75 lets say. Here you will need to loop at this table and count how many records are there for each customer and store it in another internal. Maybe you can have a separate internal table for each category.
Types: begin of titab,
 kunnr type kna1-kunnr,
 count type i,
 end of titab.
Data: itab_1 type table of titab with header line.
Data: itab_2_5 type table of titab with header line.
Data: itab_6_M type table of titab with header line.
One for 1 pagers, one of 2-5 pagers, and one for 6 and more pages.
Now loop thru ACCITAB and at the end of a customer you need to write a record to one of these tables with the record count. Use the AT END statement. You will need to determine the maximum number of printed lines that your form handles in the MAIN window. Example, how many printed lines does it take to make the form go to the next page. You need to find what this number is.
When you have this number, now you can do some logic which will split the customers into there categorys.
Let's say that the max is 50 lines per page.
Data: counter type i.
LOOP AT ACCITAB.
counter = counter + 1.
at end of kunnr.
IF counter < '50'.
itab_1-kunnr = accitab-kunnr.
itab_1-count = counter.
append itab_1.
elseif counter => '51'
 and counter =< '250'.
itab_2_5-kunnr = accitab-kunnr.
itab_2_5-count = counter.
append itab_2_5.
elseif counter => '251'.
itab_6_m-kunnr = accitab-kunnr.
itab_6_m-count = counter.
append itab_6_m.
ENdif.
clear counter.
endat.
ENDLOOP.
Now you have the customers split out into separate internal tables depending on how many pages for thier statement. Now you can start printing.
call fucntion 'OPEN_FORM'.
Loop at itab_1.
* Do the logic which prints your form.
endloop.
call fucntion 'CLOSE_FORM'.
call fucntion 'OPEN_FORM'.
Loop at itab_2_5.
* Do the logic which prints your form.
endloop.
call fucntion 'CLOSE_FORM'.
call fucntion 'OPEN_FORM'.
Loop at itab_6_m.
* Do the logic which prints your form.
endloop.
call fucntion 'CLOSE_FORM'.

What is spool request how to give it

could anybody inform me
what is spool request how to give it
thanx

kals.

Hi
When ever you run a job, system creates something called as a spool request.
You can have a list of all your spool requests in T.code SP01 and SP02.
The spool is usually identified by a number.
When you select a spool and select the display button it gives the output of the corresponding job.

hi
whenevr u print ur output , spoll no. will be generated.
Go to TCode Sp01/SP02 and give the spool No. which u generated and there u can find ur spool with outputlist,
The basic transaction to set an printer within an SAP system is SPAD.
I would recommend you to access the online SAP help at the following URL where you will find detailed information on how to set printers :

What is the main use of SM13. I know the SAP definition tha tit is used to check"whether update is active".
So if the transactions are struck here,can we manually process them?
I see a couple of records with Status V2. When I try to manually update them, the system gives me a message"Update request does not have status init". What does this mean.
What would be the document change flow to delta queue. Is it as below?
In case of V3 updates,
1)The user make changes to a document.
The changes are made to application tables in V1 step-VBAK,VBAP etc
2)The delta(after and before image is captured in the log tables---How is this done?
3)The changes(before and after images) from the log table are moved to extarction queue in V2 step using function modules
4)In SM13, if you see the transactions in V2 status ,does it mean that the FM are not yet executed
5)once v2 is complete(FM' run) the delta is moved from log table to extraction queue, v3 init is run
6)all the accumulated changes are moved from extraction queue to delta
Thanks
