Exporting the Contents of a Spool Request as a Text File

Exporting to the SAP GUI Working Directory:

Choose Spool Request  Forward  Export as Text.

The entire text is stored in your SAP GUI working directory in ASCII format.

A file of this type is named using the following pattern:

<SAP system name><spool number>.txt

Example: ABC0000004327.txt

Exporting to a Directory of Your Choice:

With this method of exporting a spool request, the content of the spool request is first displayed and you then download the screen list as a text file to the directory of your choice.

1. Select the spool request to be exported and choose Display Contents.

2. For SAPscript/Smart Forms documents, activate the list display by choosing Goto.

3. Choose System  List  Save  Local File.

4. Select a format and confirm your choice.

5. Select a directory and save the spool request.

   By default, only the first 10 pages of a spool request are saved in a file. You can increase the number of pages to be saved by choosing Goto  Display Requests  Settings and making the desired entries in the Display Area group box.
