In order to check the background job’s results, we use the  button in T-CODE:SM37.

Then, the spool lists are limited to be displayed 10 pages, it’s really hard to input page number manually.

Only 1 0 pages is displayed

To display next 10 pages, you should press  button and input page number in the form page field.
