Execute a Parameter Transaction in Background

Former Member — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 19:13:59 GMT

Hi, I have a parameter transaction based on a standard SAP report and I want SUBMIT the report so that it can execute in background. I select the varaint option in Parameter transaction with SELECTION-SET how do I represent the MODE option while SUBMIT? Thanks in advance.

If I have well understood your question, SUBMIT means that you call directly the program, so you can't refer to the transaction (which calls the program). If you want to pass values to screen fields (of the selection screen), you have to enter these values either in the program variant, or directly using WITH keyword of SUBMIT statement.

The problem is when I cook up my own SUBMIT along with "WITH" statement to mimick Parameter transaction, it works similar online. But I really want it to run in background. In background, the "Execture Background" option using Parameter transaction works in a different way and SUBMIT with spool request functions in a different way. You'd think they should behave in same way... but they don't

Thanks for your time and advice fellas. I bit the bullet. Doing a BDC to the transaction instead of a SUBMIT program.

Pursuing BDC transaction instead of SUBMIT.
