Stop the combining of spool request to an existing one

[Former Member]

hi all,

this is a general printing question. currently, system has 'Print Immediately' unchecked for all users, so all printings are hold as spool requests and not printed immediately.

however, if a spool request is generated from the same transaction as previous spool requests, they are accumulated into a single spool request- hence many pages will be printed if user sets to 'print immediately'.

how can we have a different spool request for every request to print? and not add on to previous spool requests.

thanks!

you can pass TDNEWID = 'X'. it will generate the new spool number each time

JOB_OUTPUT_OPTIONS-TDNEWID = 'X'.

CALL FUNCTION FM_NAME

EXPORTING

CONTROL_PARAMETERS = CONTROL

OUTPUT_OPTIONS = OUTPUT

USER_SETTINGS = ' '

EKKO = L_DOC-XEKKO

PEKKO = L_DOC-XPEKKO

DRUVO = L_DRUVO

IMPORTING

JOB_OUTPUT_OPTIONS = JOB_OUTPUT_OPTIONS

Hi,

I hope if we start the transaction by opening the new session, it will not combine the spools.

Let's say if any custom developements are taken place for the existing funtionality, then need to analyze the code available there.

it happens regardless if it is standard or customized transactions. and it adds on the spool requests created months ago as long as it is generated from the same transaction created by the same user.

there shld be some global setting for this. but can't seem to find it under output device or device type. anyone else would know?
