Hi,

NAST is the communication table used used when a print or output data from various application transactions process the output data and passes it to the output process.

During the processing what ever may be the output the NAST process log needs to be updated. This helps the user in finding the result of the output after the processing is completed. The updating of the NAST processing log is done via the FM: NAST_PROTOCOL_UPDATE.

This is done generally after the processing of the SAPScript or the Smartform has completed in the driver program.

Hope That Helps

i have a question on this topic, too.

Is the entry in NAST the trigger for the button "processing log" to work? This is in VL02N - Extras - Delivery Output -> Header.

Can anyone help?
