report output to spool

[Former Member]

Hi,

how to generate spool with the report output when the program is run in back ground .

[former_member189059]

When a program is run in background, any write statements will automatically write to spool

Hi,

When you use a write statement in your program and

run it in background, the output of the WRITE

statement is put in SPOOL.

u can chk it in SM37

Hi,

See this sample code it might help u.

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.

SM36 , select job wizard,when u define the job u can specify spool list recepients, system will catch all write statements to spool and send the spool to ur SAP inbox, from there u can take print if needed.
