EXIT statement not working in program in Background Processing

Hi All,

I have an requirement where job is scheduled every 3minutes and it calls program ZTEST. But, ZTEST might take more than 3 minutes to complete execution. My requirement is that I want o run the jobs sequentially. I mean 2nd job should start only when 1st job ends. I tried using 'After job' in SM37 but it doesnot work.

So,as an alternative, I used funstion module 'TH_GET_WPINFO' to get the if more than one instances of the same program are running or not. Below is the code.

CALL FUNCTION 'TH_GET_WPINFO'

TABLES

wplist = lit_wpinfo

EXCEPTIONS

send_error = 1

OTHERS = 2.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

MOVE sy-repid TO lw_report.

DELETE lit_wpinfo WHERE wp_report <> lw_report. "lw_report has REPORTNAME in it.....

DESCRIBE TABLE lit_wpinfo LINES lw_count.

IF lw_count > 1. " Here I check if 2nd job is executing the same program or not.

EXIT. "Here I want to exit from the program.

ENDIF.

But, the problem that I am facing is that, the EXIT is not working in background if I write it inside IF statement. I tried using STOP and CHECK statements as well. But, none are working if I write it inside IF statement.

But,if I write EXIT. outside IF statement, it works.

Please let me know,if any one has suggetsions on this.

Thanks.

Hello,

To answer your question, it means lwa_count does not have value more than 1...

Back to your problem to run a job depending on another...

You can use events (transaction SM62) to control Job execution..

1. Create an event and schedule a job with an event and program

2. Use BP_EVENT_RAISE to raise that event which will trigger the job..

Thanks
