Execution control between two programs

Former Member — Fri, 19 Nov 2010 03:41:49 GMT

Dear ABAP gurus.

I have 2 ABAP programs A and B.

I don't want users to execute program A if some other

users use program B.

Then I want to show the error message just like

" Can not execute while other user uses program B" to users who try

to use program A.

So, what kind of statements should I use?

Hi Yoshitada,

I think the way I would do it is, I'd create a dcitionary table in se11

with fields for program name, a lock flag and username.

Then, depending on the type of programs A and B are. Check/Update

the lock status of the table in one of the earlier events of the program.

Then unlock at some later point in the program.

Its crude and there might be a better way, but its all that comes to mind right now.

Regards,

Miguel

Hi Kaneko

You can do that with the help of LOCKING OBJECTS concept. Refer to the following SAP documentation, you will get some idea.

You can also refer to the following thread which has the solution.

Hi,

Check Function Module TH_WPINFO for the report B if it is being executed. This function module holds the workprocesses that you see in SM50

You can get the username that is running the report and display the error message in report B saying that XX user is already running program B.
