spool generation

[Former Member]

Hello All,

i am running a normal report in background which is containing write statement.

when i starts a job through SM36 and runs it immediately,

will there be spool generation which will contain all the list output data came through WRITE statement?

if yes i am not getting the same.can anyone help me out. is anything additional required?

Yes there will -> if you are not seeing this then check the printer settings in the job step definition, and your own printer defaults. If you want to confirm the program is reaching the "write" statement, put in a "message s398(00) with 'got here'." type statement as this message will appear in the job log, not spool, and help isolate where the problem is.

in the spool options select print immediately option. If you don't set this normally SAP sends it to the spool and just holds it there and doesn't print immediately.
