SAP Note 16410 - Attaching to existing spool requests

Component : Spool System -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/16410 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note clarifies the conditions under which a new spool request is generated versus when data can be appended to an existing spool request. A new spool request can be initiated programmatically or via user interface settings, such as setting the 'New spool request' flag, using NEW-PAGE PRINT ON, or through specific function modules like GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS or OPEN_FORM with certain options set. When determining if data can be added to an existing request, the spool system compares the attributes of the current request to those of existing ones, ensuring characteristics like client, owner, and output device match, and the request is not closed. This functionality ensures careful management of printing tasks, maintaining system integrity and operational efficiency.
