Process in new task

Former Member — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 09:35:44 GMT

Hello.

I am trying start a process in new task calling module function 'ABAP4_CALL_TRANSACTION' using the addition "starting new task".

My problems is I don't know how can I get parameters in the new process, because I don't know how use the tables of this function, nor access to memory abap (I'm trying with "export/import memory id" and "set/get parameter", but either works because the IDs are unaccessible in the new task, are empty).

Any idea to do that?

Thanks.

Parameter names are explicit, use table parameter SPAGPA_TAB to pass values of MEMORY ID, you could also pass data like in a CALL TRANSACTION with a structure BDCDATA in table parameter USING_TAB. Those FM are widely used in ECC, perform a where-used, check a small report like FI_DUPLICATE_INVOICE_SHOW.

Regards,

Raymond

Hi,

Refer to link

http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPCALL_FUNCTION_STARTING.htm

Use import / export of memory ID's in addition to DATABASE INDEX.

Thanks, was quite easy:

DATA lt_spagpa_tab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF rfc_spagpa.

DATA ls_spagpa_tab TYPE rfc_spagpa.

ls_spagpa_tab-PARID = 'MEMORY_ID'.

ls_spagpa_tab-PARVAL = 'VALUE'.

append ls_spagpa_tab to lt_spagpa_tab.

CALL FUNCTION 'ABAP4_CALL_TRANSACTION' STARTING NEW TASK 'TEST'

EXPORTING

tcode = 'NEW_PROCESS'

TABLES

spagpa_tab = lt_spagpa_tab

EXCEPTIONS

call_transaction_denied = 1

tcode_invalid = 2

OTHERS = 3.

In NEW_PROCESS:

DATA: MEMORY_ID(5).

GET PARAMETER ID 'MEMORY_ID' FIELD MEMORY_ID.

Then, MEMORY_ID will have the value 'VALUE'.
