Submit ... using variables to specify the program name.

Hello people,

I have a small question/problem/concern regarding the Submit statment. I have noticed that you use

"SUBMIT (Program Name) EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY AND RETURN".

You have to hardcode the Program name in the submit button; if you try using a variable to store the program name the program will encounter a runtime error. Which is awkward, because I want to make the program as flexible as possible. In any event, I was thinking if there could be a way to use a variable or equivalent in a Submit statment. Thank you all and good day.

Hi Chad, Program Name in the Submit statement should be hardcorded i think there is no other way to do other than this way...as u have said that taking the program name in to a variable will cause a runtime error is true ...

Chad,

This statement is working for me.

data : w_program(20).

w_program = 'PROGRAM NAME'.

submit (w_program) exporting list to memory and return.

Hi chad,

1. it works.

IMPORTANT:

the program name should be CAPITAL.

(if in lower, it will give run time error)

report abc.

data : prog type sy-repid.

prog = 'ZAM_TEMP00'.

submit (prog) exporting list to memory and return.

regards,

amit m.
