Summary :
This SAP Note discusses an anomaly experienced when processing spool lists through transaction SP01, where the list width defaults to 255 columns, and page length settings are not enforced, limiting formatting to the X_65_255 configuration. This issue, confined to SAP Basis versions up to 4.6C, arises because the precise list dimensions are not retained post-creation. To address this, users should update their systems with provided Support Packages and adjust TSPOPTIONS entries for REALWIDTH and REALHEIGHT to preserve original dimensions. Changes require activation via RSPO_OPTION_FLUSH or direct modification with RSPO_LOPTION_SET. The note also acknowledges limitations in displaying wider lists in Releases 4.6B and 4.6C, offering a custom ABAP report, ZRSPOSHOWLIST, as a temporary remedy.
Key words :
actual maximum column width possibly exceed, explicit page breaks generate, customer-specific format y_65_300, actual maximum number, support packages mentioned, function module rspo_option_flush, function module rspo_option_set, aforementioned support packages, application program writes, support packages contained
