Dear All,

I want to know which function module is used to perform this report. One more thing while execute the report i dont need the printer dialog box when i am giving spool request as parameter directly it should be print bcoz user knows spool request number so they want print directly the outputno need of dialog box.

How do you know the format of the spool is compatible with the formats defined for your LP01 device? What do you mean the get_print_parameters function doesn't work? How are you trying to print afterwards?

If the user knows the spool number, he/she had to search for it somehow. Why build a new report, i.e., why not use transaction SP01 and the 'Print with changed parameters' menu function once the spool is found, which allows all of the search functionality plus enforces the authorization checks?

I just want to point out that spool request numbers are re-used so if the spool number is old it may have been reused and the print job won't be what's expected. This can lead to security issues where people can print reports they shouldn't have access to.

try using FM RSPO_RPRINT_SPOOLREQ in your program
