Spooling Lists
The "spooling" of lists means the list output is not put in the list buffer for screen lists , instead it is passed, page by page, to the SAP spool system . After a page has been passed, it is deleted from the ABAP runtime environment and only exists in the SAP spool system.
The size of a spool list is therefore only limited by the intake capacity of the spool system, and can be very large. On the other hand, during the creation of spool lists it is not possible to refer to previous pages.
Each spooling of list outputs is linked to a spool request . The list pages that are output to a spool request make up a spool list . The spool list of a spool request can be

kept in the spool system,

printed on a printer or

archived using ArchiveLink .

For the spooling of lists, both the activation and deactivation of spooling and the association with spool requests are important.
