Job in background and multiple spool requests

Hi everybody,

I'm executing a program in a background job. The program outputs 2 spool requests. When I get to SM37 t-code to see job's result, I can see at "Job Log" option that 2 spool requests were generated. But... when I press "Spool" option from SM37 t-code I only see the last one. In spite of this, when I get at the spool controller through SP01 t-code I can see both of them. Can you help me with this issue? Why from one place I get 1 request and from the other the 2 ones?

Thanks in advance and kind regards,

MMP.

Hi,

Check out [this thread|https://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=16405444&messageID=1181695] which has a discussion on this topic and points out [Note 519059|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/519059]:

8] Question: How are the spool requests assigned?

Answer: The step information is stored in table TBTCP. This has space for exactly one spool request (field LISTIDENT). If a step generates several spool requests during the processing, only one can be stored. In this case the application is responsible for a "spool overview".

Regards,

Jamie
