You use this customizing activity to create a logical output device. You need to carry out this step before you can store print lists in a storage system. The output device is the logical printer to which the spool sends the storage requests.

Requirements
Standard settings
Activities
- Double-click on Output device to open a list of all logical output devices, and choose the default value ARCH.
The detailed view of the output device is displayed.
- Enter the following data:
- Device type: ARCHLINK
- Device class: Archiver
- Type of linkage to host spool: Archiver
The device type determines the storage format. The storage format is also determined by the profile parameter rspo/archive_format. The profile parameter determines the general appearance, and the device type determines the exact appearance of the print list to be stored.
You can determine the current settings of the profile parameter rspo/archive_format using the report RSPARAM. Only the system administrator can change the setting.
You can implement two storage formats using the profile parameter rspo/archive_format :
- Format 1 (standard setting)
Contains ASCII characters and line and form feed as control characters.
- Format 2
Contains print controls, columns, commentary, and DARC index lines. The list has the same appearance as normal online list output.
For creating print lists that contain color information and/or hyperlinks, the profile parameter rspo/archive_format must be set to format 2.
You can create a new output device and a new device type. Use the default settings for the output device ARCH and the device type ARCHLINK as a guide. For the procedure for creating an archive device and device type, see the SAP Library under Documentation BC - Printing Manual in the section Defining and Modifying Device Types.
