selection few pages of spool output

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am sending spool request related output to a file using the function module RSPO_RETURN_ABAP_SPOOLJOB.

is there any function module to select only some portion of this buffer/output?

for example: the total output contains 5000 pages.

but I want to select only 1500 pages -> transfer to file

again select from 1501 page to 3000 pages -> transfer to file.

this is bacause, in production system the number of pages will be millions, which is causing overflow error.

Please help me

There are parameters which can accepts the lines to be read from the Spool. You can set the first line and the Last line to be read from the Spool. E.g you have a page with 65 lines and you want to read 100 pages at a time, last line would be 6500.

Like:
CALL FUNCTION 'RSPO_RETURN_ABAP_SPOOLJOB'
  EXPORTING
    rqident                    = spool
   FIRST_LINE                 = 1
   LAST_LINE                  = 6500

Hello,

You could try using fm RSPO_GET_PAGES_SPOOLJOB to get the number

of pages in your spool request.

Hello,

My thought was that you could use the FM suggested by Naimesh (RSPO_RETURN_ABAP_SPOOLJOB) after you have determined the number of pages in your spool list using the FM that I have mentioned(RSPO_GET_PAGES_SPOOLJOB).

I assume that you know the number of lines in each page of the spool list.

So, if you want pages 10 - 15 and your page size is 65 then you could call

RSPO_RETURN_ABAP_SPOOLJOB with first_line = 650 and

last_line = 975.

Hope this helps a bit.
