Timer function in ABAP

Former Member — Thu, 06 Apr 2006 01:20:04 GMT

Hello,

I have requirement to cancel execution of a function module if it exceeds 10 Sec. How do i do this in ABAP.

This FM is sending data through XI and waiting on confirmation from a external system through XI. But the requirement is to wait only for 10 sec and if no response continue the process after the FM.

Any help in this highly appreciated.

Thanks!!

Harprit

Have you tried the following statement ?

WAIT up to 10 seconds.

Hi Harprit,

You can use this FM SWE_CD_TST_DELAY.


CALL FUNCTION 'SWE_CD_TST_DELAY'
  EXPORTING
    DELAY = '10'.

Hope this will help.

Hi harprit,

1. as soon as we call the FM,

the program won't return

until it is finished (or some error has occurred)

2. So our abap code of

checking for 10 seconds / waiting for 10 seconds

/ any time code

won't get executed

(as we desire)

3. It may get exected only after the FM returns.

4. I don't think there is any direct way

of achieving the requirement.

amit m.

GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFO Get the current job number from a program. Also returns other useful info about the current job.

ENQUE_SLEEP Wait a specified period of time before continuing processing.

ENQUEUE_ESFUNCTION Lock an abap program so that it cannot be executed.

Set the parameters as follows:

RELID = 'ZZ'

SRTF2 = 0

SRTF = (your report name)

Please note that you should not use SY-REPID to pass your report name to the function. The value of SY-REPID will change as it is being passed to the function module, and will no longer hold the value of the calling report.

hi harprit

the control returns to the program once the fm got executed so you cannot set a time and skip from fm.
