ABAP_LIST - Overview of All Spool Parameters ITOC
Spool Parameters The following table lists all spool parameters by their associated input parameters in the function modules GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS and SET_PRINT_PARAMETERS. The second column shows the label in the spool dialog box. The third column contains the name of the component in the structure PRI_PARAMS whose content, however, cannot be modified directly in a program. Input ParameterDialog Field Component Meaning IN_PARAMETERS--Entire structure of type PRI_PARAMS ; single values passed in parallel overwrite the associated component. ARCHIVE_MODEArchive modeARMOD If 1 print only (default), if 2 archive only, if 3 print and archive. AUTHORITYAuthorizationPRBERAuthorization value for authorization object S_SPO_ACT. This can be used to check whether a user is allowed to perform certain actions on the spool request. COPIESNumber of copiesPRCOPNumber or printouts, default 1. COVER_PAGESelection cover page (if PARAMSEL passed to MODE) PRBIGIf X, a cover page with the input values of the selection layout is printed, default blank. DATA_SET-PRDSNTemplate for the name of the spool file, default is empty. DEFAULT_SPOOL_SIZE (GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS only)Spool request has a width of maximum 255 characters -If X, line break forced after the <(>255th<)> column, default blank. DEPARTMENTDepartmentPRABTDepartment name for the SAP cover page, default taken from user address. DESTINATIONOutput devicePDESTName of a printer or fax machine, default taken from user master data. DRAFT (GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS only)Text only -If X only text is output, default is blank. EXPIRATIONRetention periodPEXPINumber of days for which the spool request is retained by the spool system, default is 8. FOOT_LINE (SET_PRINT_PARAMETERS only)-FOOTL If X footer is output (only when spooling screen lists) whose content can be modified in the spool dialog box under Parameters; default is empty. HOST_COVER_PAGEOS cover pagePRUNXIf X the operating system cover page is output; default is blank. IMMEDIATELYTime of printingPRIMMIf X the spool request is sent immediately, if A the spool request is printed at a later time (only for non-front-end printers), if blank the spool request must be printed manually, default taken from user master data. LAYOUTFormattingPAARTPage format; depending on the output device, different formats with different maximum page lengths and widths can be specified, default is set internally. LINE_COUNTLines (subproperty of Formatting )LINCTNumber of lines per page; works like the addition LINE-COUNT in a program-initiating statement; 0 (unlimited number of lines) is not possible; the maximum number depends on LAYOUT; default is set internally. Overwritten by REPORT if the value BATCH is passed for MODE. LINE_SIZEColumns (subproperty of Formatting )LINSZCharacters per list line; works like the addition LINE-SIZE in a program-initiating statement; maximum depends on LAYOUT; default is set internally. Overwritten by REPORT if the value BATCH is passed for MODE. LIST_NAMENamePLISTThe name of the spool request if not printed immediately, default is a combination of the start of the program name from the parameter REPORT and the user name LIST_TEXTTitlePRTXTDescription text for the spool request, appears on the default cover page and is displayed in the output controller instead of LIST_NAME, default is empty. NEW_LIST_IDNew spool requestPRNEWIf X (default) a new spool request is created, otherwise the system attempts to attach the spool request to an existing request, works only if LIST_NAME, DESTINATION, COPIES, and LAYOUT match and PROTECT_LIST is empty. NO_FRAMES (GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS only)No frame characters-If X no frame characters are printed, default is blank. PRIORITYPrint priorityPRIOT1 (high) to 9 (low), default is 1. PROTECT_LIST (GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS only)Protection from attachments-If X no further requests can be attached to the spool request, default is blank. RECEIVERReceiverPRRECReceiver name for the SAP cover page, default is user name. RELEASEDelete immediately after printingPRREL If X, spool request is deleted immediately after output, else after EXPIRATION; default taken from user defaults. REPORT (GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS only)--If MODE is the same as BATCH, the name of the program to be started must be specified in REPORT. The list lines per page ( LINE_COUNT) and the characters per list line (LINE_SIZE ) are then taken from the program-initiating statement of the specified program. Still the default for the first part of the name of the spool request overwritten by LIST_NAME (the default for this is the content of sy-repid). SAP_COVER_PAGESAP cover sheetPRSAPIf X a standard cover page with standard information is created, if D (default) the cover page printed depends on the settings of the printer, if blank no cover page is created. SUPPRESS_SHADING (GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS only)Colors and shading suppressed in the printout-If X colors and shading are suppressed in the printout, default is blank. TYPE-PTYPEType of the spool request. UC_DISPLAY_MODE (GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS only)Character format-Unicode spool output; if 1, characters are output with the output length one; if 2, all characters are printed in their output lengths; if 3, all characters are printed with the length two. WITH_STRUCTURE (GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS only)Spool list with structure information-If X structure information is also printed (for <(>ACC<)> and <(>RTL<)> output), default is blank. -Print All, Print from Page ... to- Restricts the number of pages printed, default is Print All.
Latest notes:
The input parameters of GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS that do not have a component in the structure PRI_PARAMS are not passed to a spool request explicitly during NEW-PAGE PRINT ON and SUBMIT TO SAP-SPOOL and are defined internally by the function module instead.
Using SET_PRINT_PARAMETERS only allows the setting those spool parameters that are stored in components of the PRI_PARAMS structure.
The spool parameters LINE_COUNT and LINE_SIZE do not overwrite the additions LINE-COUNT and LINE-SIZE of the program-initiating statement of a program specified using REPORT if the value BATCH is passed to the parameter MODE. In this case, the corresponding input fields in the spool dialog box are not ready for input. If these values exceed the maximum values defined by LAYOUT, the list cannot be spooled.
The values of the components of the structure PRI_PARAMS are usually intended for internal use only and do not always match the values specified directly, such as in the addition LINE-SIZE. ABAP_HINT_END
Archiving Parameters The following table lists all archiving parameters sorted by their associated input parameters in the function modules GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS and SET_PRINT_PARAMETERS. The second column contains the label in the spool dialog box. The third column contains the name of the component in the structure ARC_PARAMS whose content, however, cannot be modified directly in a program. Input ParameterDialog Field Component Meaning IN_ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS--Entire structure of type ARC_PARAMS, any single values passed in parallel overwrite the associated component. AR_OBJECTDocument typeAR_OBJECTDocument type of the archiving object. ARCHIVE_ID-ARCHIVE_IDTarget archive of the archiving request. ARCHIVE_INFOInformationINFOInformation ID for the archiving request. ARCHIVE_TEXTTextARCTEXTDescription text of the archiving request. SAP_OBJECTObject typeSAP_OBJECTObject type of the SAP object.
Latest notes:
Requests can be archived only if these parameters are specified consistently and completely. Archiving works across all applications. Apart from certain basic settings, no other actions are required. If spool lists are to be stored on an application-specific basis, some special actions must be taken. For more information, see the documentation ArchiveLink in SAP Help Portal.
When archiving long lists, it may be useful to write index information to the list using PRINT-CONTROL •-LINE. This makes it easier to search the archived list later on. ABAP_HINT_END
Control Parameters The following table lists the control parameters of the function module GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS. Input ParameterMeaning MODEPossible values BATCH, CURRENT, DEFVALS , DISPLAY, PARAMS, PARAMSEL (see below) NO_DIALOGIf X no spool dialog box is displayed The following table shows the values that can be passed to MODE. <(>MODE<)>Effect BATCHThe function module gets spool parameters for a background request. The executable program to be started must be specified in the input parameter REPORT. If this executable program contains the additions LINE-COUNT or LINE-SIZE in the REPORT statement, they are used as non-modifiable values in the spool dialog box. The function Save is displayed on the spool dialog box instead of Print. CURRENTThe function module is used to determine the current spool parameters after spooling has been activated. If nothing is being spooled, the default values are returned. DEFVALSAlways returns the default values. DISPLAYThe spool parameters are displayed in the spool dialog box but cannot be changed. PARAMSStandard setting, the user can choose Print or Cancel on the spool dialog box. PARAMSELLike PARAMS, however the additional checkbox Selection Cover Page appears on the spool dialog box.
Output Parameters of GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS The following table lists the output parameters of the function module GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS. Output ParameterMeaning OUT_PARAMETERSSet of spool parameters in a structure of the type PRI_PARAMS. Either complete or empty. OUT_ARCHIVE_PARAMETERSSet of archiving parameters in a structure of the type ARC_PARAMS. Either complete or empty. VALIDIf X, all spool parameters or archiving parameters are complete and printing or archiving is possible. If blank, the structures are empty, and printing or archiving is not possible. VALID is blank if Cancel is used to exit the spool dialog box. VALID_FOR_SPOOL_CREATIONIf X, enough spool parameters are available to create a spool request. There is no guarantee, however, that this request can be printed or archived. If blank, the structures a empty, and a spool request cannot be created. This is different from VALID only if the spool dialog box is not displayed. If the spool dialog box is displayed, VALID_FOR_SPOOL_CREATION is filled just like
