CALL TRANSACTION or SUBMIT

Former Member — Thu, 05 Jun 2014 05:18:03 GMT

Hi guys,

I have a problem with calling a program(or transaction code).

I want to call a program with a variant by "CALL TRANSACTION" or "SUBMIT".

I checked that "SUBMIT" is possible by using "SELECTION-SET" but I can't use it because it doesn't allow calling a program with a variable which has the program name like below.

'SUBMIT gv_program SELECTION-SET gv_variant.'

Is there a solution for this?

Thanks.

Hi,

Shouldn't it simply be written: SUBMIT (gv_program) USING SELECTION-SET gv_variant. ?

cheers

Hi,

Have you tried

SUBMIT (g_pname) USING SELECTION-SET g_varnt .

Or you can pass values through this method also

SUBMIT Program

WITH p_field1 EQ value

WITH p_field2 EQ value

WITH p_field3 EQ value

AND RETURN.

Refer: ABAP Keyword Documentation

Hello Janghwan,

you can directly as shown below.

Program Name : zm_forecast

variant name : 'ZTEST'

submit zm_forecast USING SELECTION-SET 'ZTEST'.

Read the online documentation of SUBMIT statement or press F1. A SUBMIT (variablename) is allowed, also many solutions are provided to pass values from USING SELECTION-SET variant to explicit values for parameters WITH expr_syntax1 WITH expr_syntax2 ...

No, it is not possible to call a program/transaction using a variable in place of program name.

As SUBMIT statement executes a report. Can only execute reports of type '1'.And the ways that it could be used are :-

*Code used to execute a report
SUBMIT Zreport.

*Code used to populate 'select-options' & execute report

SUBMIT zreport with selection-table seltab
via selection-screen.

*Code used to populate 'parameters' & execute report

SUBMIT zreport with p_param1 = 'value'

with p_param2 = 'value'.

*Submit report and return to current program afterwards

SUBMIT zreport AND RETURN.

*Submit report via its own selection screen

SUBMIT zreport VIA SELECTION-SCREEN.

*Submit report using selection screen variant

SUBMIT zreport USING SELECTION-SET 'VARIANT1'.

*Submit report but export resultant list to memory, rather than
*it being displayed on screen

SUBMIT zreport EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY.

And CALL TRANSACTION statement calls the transaction whose transaction code is contained in data object ta.

CALL TRANSACTION ta

{ [AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN] ---- suppresses the display of a screen of the initial dynpro

| [USING bdc_tab [bdc_options]] }. ----- enables the transaction to be executed using a batch input table. This requires an internal table bdc_tab of row type BDCDATA to be passed from ABAP Dictionary to a dialog transaction

Wish this helps you...

I can't use the program name directly because the program name is not fixed.

Thanks.
