Obsolete Specification of Spool Parameters
When using the statements
to create spool lists, it must be ensured that either the spool parameters window is displayed or that a consistent set of spool 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 spool 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 spool parameters, see
Spool Parameters Overview.

flag expects a single-character text field, where a space character activates
the parameter and any other character deactivates the parameter. KEEP IN SPOOL
has the reverse semantics of the parameter RELEASE of the function module. 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.
