Hi all,

With respect to one of my previous question ,I have searched the forum , but could not find the answer.

I have two reports(executable programs).

I am executing the report1 and getting a specific output ,say it is be a case

if its case 1:

report 2 must be executed in the background(probably using submit)

If case 2:

report 2 must be executed in fore ground.

Hope you get my query.

HI,

Try this,

Scheduling a submitable program as a background task with the number number in a background request name. After scheduling, the background task is completed by function module JOB_CLOSE and released immediately providing the user has the relevant authorization.

DATA: number TYPE tbtcjob-jobcount,

name TYPE tbtcjob-jobname VALUE 'JOB_TEST',

print_parameters TYPE pri_params.

...

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'

EXPORTING

jobname = name

IMPORTING

jobcount = number

EXCEPTIONS

cant_create_job = 1

invalid_job_data = 2

jobname_missing = 3

OTHERS = 4.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

SUBMIT submitable TO SAP-SPOOL

SPOOL PARAMETERS print_parameters

WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO

VIA JOB name NUMBER number

AND RETURN.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'

EXPORTING

jobcount = number

jobname = name

strtimmed = 'X'

EXCEPTIONS

cant_start_immediate = 1

invalid_startdate = 2

jobname_missing = 3

job_close_failed = 4

job_nosteps = 5

job_notex = 6

lock_failed = 7

OTHERS = 8.

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

...

ENDIF.

just call ue report2 depending on conditions like this:

when u need to run it in foreground, use SUBMIT

when in background use these fms

JOB_OPEN u2013 Creates a background job

JOB_SUBMIT u2013 Adds a step (program) to a background job

JOB_CLOSE u2013 Schedules a background job .

hi,

Yes, this is correct. If it is foreground u can use the SUBMIT statement

other wise if it is in back ground, u need to use those function modules.

you can check it with sy-batch value

if sy-batch = 'X'.

this is back ground. here u need to use those function modules as said in my previous reply.

else.

this is fore ground.

sumbit zprogram via selection-screen and return.

endif.

Venkatesh
