• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QS236 - List was included in the spool under number & ?

  The SAP error message QS236 indicates that a list has been included in the spool with a specific spool number. This message typically occurs when a report or transaction generates output that is sent to the spool for printing or viewing later. The message itself is informational and does not indicate an error in the traditional sense, but rather confirms that the output has been successfully spooled.
  Cause:
  
  Spooling Process: The message is generated as part of the spooling process in SAP, which is used to manage print jobs and output lists.
  Report Execution: When a report is executed, the output is often directed to a spool request, and this message confirms that the output has been captured.
  User Action: The user may have requested a printout or output list that is now being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Spool Request: You can check the spool request using transaction code SP01. Enter the spool number provided in the message to view the details of the output.
  Print or Download: From the spool request, you can choose to print the output or download it in various formats (e.g., PDF, Excel).
  Review Output: If you need to review the output for correctness or completeness, you can do so from the spool overview.
  Clear Spool: If the spool is full or if you need to manage spool requests, you can use transaction SPAD to configure spool settings or clear old spool requests.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Spool Administration: Transaction SPAD is used for spool administration, where you can manage printers, spool settings, and output devices.
  Spool Overview: Transaction SP01 allows you to view and manage spool requests, including filtering by user, date, and status.
  Output Management: Understanding how output management works in SAP can help in troubleshooting and optimizing report outputs.
  
  If you encounter any issues with the spool request (e.g., it does not appear, or there are errors in the output), you may need to investigate further based on the specific context of the report or transaction being executed.
