Print to file

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have a unique requirement but I am unable to find a solution. I checked some documents posted on sdn also checked OSS note but nothing worked. Seems like I am missing something important.

Is it possible to print to some directory in our application server.

For e.g.

User executes a report and prints the report. He then chooses outout device (ZFILE) the report output then gets directed to /tmp directory in our server.

rspo/host_spool/print profile parameter has value cd &p; /usr/bin/lpr -P&P -J&f -r -h -#&C &f 2>&&1

I configured ZFILE in SPAD and with command id 'L' , I entered command to transfer print data as

cd &p; /usr/bin/lpr -P&P -J&f -r -h -#&C &f 2>&&1 &F /tmp/zfile.txt

I thought my report output will be saved in /tmp directory with name ZFILE.txt but I don't see it in /tmp

Has anyone configured output device to print to file instead of printer.

Please advice.

Thanks and Have a great day.

hi Dear,

You can get SAP print with this program.

first you will get your spool request from

System --> Own Spool Requests

then execute

SE38 --> RSTXPDFT4

Execute (F8)

put the Spool Request number in Spool request

Execute (F8)

you can get your print in PDF.

hi vl180404,

Are you using command for SAP print or trying to print via SAP tcode?
