Report to spool

[Former Member]

Hi frendz,

Can anyone pls tell me how to send reort output to spool.if possible can you guys provide sample code.Pls help me out.

[FredericGirod]

Hi,

get the print parameters with the function GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS or set it with SET_PRINT_PARAMETERS.

After you just have to use the : NEW-PAGE PRINT ON command.

All that you will write with the command WRITE will go into the spool.

See this sample code it might help u.

http://sap.ionelburlacu.ro/abap/sap2/Save_Report_Output_to_a_PDF_File.html

Save Report Output to a PDF File

This report takes another report as input, and captures the output of that report. The output is then converted to PDF and saved to a local file. This shows how to use some of the PDF function modules, as well as an easy way to create PDF files.

One thing I am not thrilled about is how the spool number is retrieved. If anyone has any better method, please let me know! Until I actually have a production use for a program like this, I will not try to find a better way.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply....Can you pls provide me the sample code if possible...or can you pls specify what need to be passed to the function module..

[Former Member]

If you execute the report in the background, the output will be sent to spool.

Even i have to execute the report in backgroud....But do i need to do anything in SE38 program ?? if yes can you pls provide me the sample code...Pls its very urgent.

[Former Member]

You don't have to do any coding if you are executing the program in the background. By default the output of the report will be sent to spool.

Hi Rak,

Check this Link and it would definitely solve u r problem with an example

<b>http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/9f/dba5fc35c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm</b>

And alternatively if u execute the report in the background (se38> program>execute-->background)

and for this u have to create a variant and supply the values for selection screen..

Regards,

Sridhar
