• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SP01R036 - Last page < first page not allowed ?

  The SAP error message SP01R036 "Last page < first page not allowed" typically occurs when there is an issue with the spool request in SAP. This error indicates that the system is trying to access a range of pages in a spool request that is not valid, specifically when the last page number is less than the first page number.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Page Range: The most common cause is that the user has specified an incorrect range of pages when trying to print or view a spool request. For example, if the user tries to print pages 5 to 3, this error will occur.
  Corrupted Spool Request: Sometimes, the spool request itself may be corrupted or not generated correctly, leading to inconsistencies in the page numbering.
  User Input Error: The user may have inadvertently entered the wrong page numbers in the print dialog or spool request settings.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Page Range: Verify the page range specified in the print dialog or spool request. Ensure that the first page number is less than or equal to the last page number.
  Recreate the Spool Request: If the spool request is corrupted, try to regenerate it. You can do this by re-running the report or transaction that generated the spool request.
  Use Default Settings: If you are manually entering page numbers, try using the default settings or selecting the option to print all pages to see if that resolves the issue.
  Check for System Issues: If the problem persists, check for any system issues or updates that may be affecting spool processing. Consult with your SAP Basis team if necessary.
