Hi,

Output request to the SAP spool system. In ABAP programs, spool requests can be opened with the statements NEW-PAGE PRINT ON and SUBMIT TO SAP-SPOOL. During a spool request, the system processes the print list of the current program. When the spool request is opened, the system determines print parameters that can no longer be changed. An internal mode can not managed more than one spool request at a time.

Thanks,

Sriram Ponna.

Spool is an SAP technique through which you the output from SAP( prin, fax etc) will get generated.

When you print something a spool will get generated under ur ID , u can view the status through SP01 and is stored in table TSP01.

Advantage of spool is you can schedule your o/p timing unless u provide immmediate processing option. You can Archive spools in system after a spool retention period etc.

Spool request is a document for which a print function has been selected. However, it has not yet been output to a printer or another device. The output data for the print document is stored partly formatted in a data store until an output request is created, that is, until it is sent to a particular output device.

The spool system uses a spool request to store the print data temporarily and to access it. The data is stored in a temporary format. You can also display the print document. The system automatically assigns a 10-digit ID number to a spool request.

Output request: From the point of view of the SAP spool system, an output request outputs the print data of a spool request to a particular output device.

Multiple output requests may exist for a single spool request. Each represents an instance of the output of the same spool request. Each of these output requests may have different attributes, such as the target printer or number of copies.

By differentiating between spool request and output requests, the spool system provides a means of storing the data temporarily.
