Problem with JOB_SUBMIT

Anindya — Fri, 14 Feb 2014 11:07:10 GMT

Hi All,

My requirement is to write a report(say rep) which will always be executed in the background even if it is executed in the foreground. Now in my program I am doing a check on sy-batch and if it is false then I am doing a job_open, job_submit and job_close AND in the else part I have kept my program logic.

Now in the job_submit, I am passing my prog name(rep) but I am getting an 'invalid_jobdata' error. Does SAP allow to pass the same program name in the job_submit in which it is written. Has anyone experienced a similar situation and can throw some light on this issue. Or is there any other way to achieve this functionality.

Please check below code :


lv_jobname = 'TEST123'.
    CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
    EXPORTING
      jobname          = lv_jobname
    IMPORTING
      jobcount         = lv_jobcount.

  CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_SUBMIT'
    EXPORTING
      authcknam               = sy-uname
      jobcount                = lv_jobcount
      jobname                 = lv_jobname
      report                  = 'ZTEST'
      variant                 = l_var .    
.
  CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
    EXPORTING
      jobcount             = lv_jobcount
      jobname              = lv_jobname
      strtimmed            = 'X'.

Hi Anindya,

You can pass the Program name sy-repid into the parameter - REPORT. Along with it, you have to pass job number and job name in the respective parameter. Please pass the variant name as well for the background job processing.

Hi Anindya

I try your scenairo. Yes, it allow pass the same program name in the job_submit in which it is written, maybe your parameter is not correct, refer @Chandra mentioned.
