• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SPADS039 - Spool request &1 contains more than one part ?

  The SAP error message SPADS039 indicates that a spool request contains more than one part, which is not allowed in certain contexts. This typically occurs when a spool request is generated for a print job that is too large or complex, leading to the creation of multiple parts. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Large Spool Requests: The spool request may exceed the maximum size allowed for a single part, causing it to be split into multiple parts.
  Configuration Settings: The SAP system may be configured in a way that does not allow for multiple parts in a single spool request.
  Output Device Settings: The output device settings may not support multi-part spool requests.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Spool Request Size:
  
  Review the size of the spool request. If it is too large, consider breaking the output into smaller parts or adjusting the report parameters to limit the amount of data being processed.
  
  
  
  Adjust Output Device Settings:
  
  Go to the output device configuration in transaction SPAD. Check the settings for the output device being used and ensure it is configured to handle multi-part spool requests if necessary.
  
  
  
  Modify Print Layout:
  
  If the print layout is complex, consider simplifying it or breaking it into smaller sections that can be printed separately.
  
  
  
  Increase Spool Size Limit:
  
  If applicable, you may need to adjust the system parameters related to spool size limits. This can be done in transaction RZ10 or RZ11, depending on your system version.
  
  
  
  Use Different Output Device:
  
  If the current output device cannot handle the request, try using a different printer or output device that is configured to handle larger spool requests.
  
  
  
  Check for Errors in the Report:
  
  Review the report or transaction that is generating the spool request for any errors or inefficiencies that could be causing the large spool size.
