how to change layout of VL06O in background job?

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

can you please advise how to run VL06O (program name is WS_MONITOR_OUTB_DEL_FREE) in background with specific layout? I mean, in background output (spool) we cannot add more columns. How to proceed this requirement?

thank you!

Yes. With the ID you are running the batch job, set-up default layout for that ID.

Hi Alan,

can you please guide me where to setup default layout? I cannot see it in SM36. We dont want to create a Z program.

run the tcode(VL06O (program name is WS_MONITOR_OUTB_DEL_FREE)). There is a layout change button, as well as a layout save button beside it.

After saving the layout, on menu -- settings -- layout -- manage, select your layout and then menu -- edit -- define defaut setting.

When you save the layout, may select user specific.

this is what was already setup. We had default layout assigned and setup, but in background run we cannot see data as per this default layout...

In Spool, SP02 or SP01, select your spool file and click on icon, Display in Maximum Width.

pls ignore, this report is not possible to put in background. You need to go for z development.

dear, one of the solutions - create a z program copying from WS_MONITOR_OUTB_DEL_FREE

with the specific layout you need. set up a new bacckground job with your z program/variant.

talk to abaper please.

good luck.
