Background infinite loop

Former Member — Wed, 25 Jan 2006 03:38:33 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to schedule a report to run as background job using FM job_close.However my schedule job is in infinite looping, which means it create infinite jobs in SM37. I am wondering is that I am miss out something on my coding,kindly give me a helping hand on that. Thanks.

FORM JOB.

Beside that, I had problem to save my smartforms to local file, is any expert there can teach me the way?I am using 4.6c system.

It could be a couple of things:

You don't seem to be looping in the form, but you may be in an infinite loop when calling the form (DO/ENDDO with no exit).

On the other hand, you are submitting report

ZMMPUPOR00_0407_EDIOUTSTANDING. If that happens to be the report of this program, then it is submitting itself over and over again.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your reply.

I think we should submit our report name to the job_submit,right? If this is the case, what should we put? I try not to put in the program and, it will still be creating multiple jobs in sm37.How am I go around with it?

What is your requirement? Do you want to submit your own program from the same program? Can you not simply define a background job for your program in SM36? If you have to do this from your program, then the flow has to be as follows and you need to add a new parameter say p_back no-display mode.


if p_back = 'X'.
*-- Do the rest of the logic of your program here
else.
  job open.
  submit job with p_back = 'X' via job.
  job close.
endif.

Hi Srinivas,

My requirement is to schedule the report to run as background job in one program.

Re: Background infinite loop

You have a program A. You want to submit another program B in the background via a job. Then you should not get any infinite jobs being created.

You have a program A. User runs it online and gives some input and you then want to transfer the execution of program A to background. Then you will have to use my solution with the p_back no-display option.

You have program A and you want to schedule it as a job. Then use SM36.

Which scenario is yours?
