Obsolete Print Parameters
When using the statements
to create print lists, you must ensure that either the print parameters window is displayed or that a consistent set of print parameters is passed. The additions
-
[SPOOL] PARAMETERS -
ARCHIVE PARAMETERS
of the statements above are used to pass the spool parameters. They use the function module GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS
to pass filled structures to the SAP spool system The statements NEW-PAGE PRINT
ON NO DIALOG and SUBMIT ... TO SAP-SPOOL WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO used
without passing spool parameters at the same time produce a syntax error in classes and a syntax warning outside of classes.
As well as these additions, the obsolete additions in the table below also exist. Each of these additions
passes only one print parameter, and cannot therefore ensure the consistency and completeness of the
passed parameters. These obsolete additions were replaced by the additions [SPOOL]
PARAMETERS and ARCHIVE PARAMETERS. The second column of the table
provides, for each obsolete addition, the corresponding input parameter of the function module GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS.
The required value should be passed to this parameter instead of using the addition. For the meaning of the print parameters, see Print Parameters Overview.

You must specify a single-character text field for flag, with a space character
activating the parameter and any other character deactivating the parameter. KEEP
IN SPOOL has the reverse semantics of the function module's parameter RELEASE. This means that a space character passes an "X" to the function module. In all other cases, the parameters correspond to the possible values for the
input parameters of the function module.
