Description

The RAW_SPOOL option specifies whether the SAP spool lists will be returned from the SAP system in raw or plain format.

The raw format contains SAP formatting characters; the plain format is pre-formatted at the SAP system.

The raw format generally allows greater formatting control (via the Universal Connector translation table). However, on occasion, the SAP system has been found to produce errors in the raw formatting of spool lists. In these cases, RAW_SPOOL would serve as a workaround.
