List of Spool Requests

Definition

The list of spool requests contains the list of spool requests that match the selection criteria that you previously specified in the initial screen of transaction SP01 (Output Controller) (see also Selecting Spool and Output Requests).

Structure

The system displays various information about the individual requests, such as spool number, spool request type, creation date and time, creator, number of pages, and processing status. The data for a spool request is displayed in one line.

The following figure shows an overview of the spool requests:

You can tailor how this list is displayed according to your needs. In this way, you can make the following settings by choosing Settings ® Layout ® Current and so on:

· Show and hide columns

· Create variants

For more information, see ABAP List Viewer (ALV) Classic.

Use

You can edit the displayed spool requests. To do this, you must select the spool requests and then choose the desired function in the application toolbar.

The following functions are available to edit the displayed spool requests:

· Print directly

If you choose this icon, an output request is generated from the spool request. The print settings of the spool request are used.

This function is in the application toolbar and should not be confused with the general print function in the system toolbar.

· Print with changed parameters

If you want to change the print settings, such as the printer name, before you print the spool request, you can use this pushbutton.

· Display and Change Spool Request Information (such as number of pages, or output device)

· Delete request

· Display Contents of Request

- If you want to see the output requests for a spool request, double click the status of the corresponding spool request in the list of spool requests.

- If you want to see the output requests for multiple spool requests, select the spool requests and then choose Output Requests.
