SAP Note 21895 - Suppressing standard output of reports

Symptom:

If reports are run online or in the background, the output generated with write:/ can sometimes cause problems.
This applies, for example, to the report rspo0041 which should delete old spool jobs. If it is scheduled as a background job, it generates a new spool job on termination which contains its status output.
