Getting error invalid_jobdata while calling FM job_submit

shashikant_maurya — Tue, 18 Nov 2014 17:06:49 GMT

Hi ABAPers,

I have executed the job_submit fm but sy-subrc is eq 3 which is raising the exception 'Invalid_jobdata'.

Can u please tell me why I am getting this error.

I am also posting my code below:

Please let me know if there is any concerns regarding the question.

DATA: wa_jobname like tbtcjob-jobname value 'TRANSFER DATA',

wa_jobcount like tbtcjob-jobcount,

wa_stepcount LIKE TBTCJOB-STEPCOUNT,

wa_authcknam like TBTCJOB-AUTHCKNAM VALUE 'aleadm',

wa_host like msxxlist-host,

wa_release like BTCH0000-CHAR1.

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'

EXPORTING

jobname = wa_jobname

IMPORTING

JOBCOUNT = wa_jobcount

EXCEPTIONS

CANT_CREATE_JOB = 1

INVALID_JOB_DATA = 2

JOBNAME_MISSING = 3

OTHERS = 4

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

ENDIF.

Here i have created variant dynamically and passing the same to below FM.

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_SUBMIT'

EXPORTING

authcknam = wa_authcknam

jobcount = wa_jobcount

jobname = wa_jobname

LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU

REPORT = 'ZTXXRD03'

VARIANT = g_variant

IMPORTING

STEP_NUMBER = wa_stepcount

EXCEPTIONS

BAD_PRIPARAMS = 1

BAD_XPGFLAGS = 2

INVALID_JOBDATA = 3

JOBNAME_MISSING = 4

JOB_NOTEX = 5

JOB_SUBMIT_FAILED = 6

LOCK_FAILED = 7

PROGRAM_MISSING = 8

PROG_ABAP_AND_EXTPG_SET = 9

OTHERS = 10

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

ENDIF.

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'

EXPORTING

jobcount = wa_jobcount

jobname = wa_jobname

PRDDAYS = 0

PRDHOURS = 0

PRDMINS = 0

PRDMONTHS = 0

PRDWEEKS = 0

TARGETSYSTEM = wa_host

IMPORTING

JOB_WAS_RELEASED = wa_release

EXCEPTIONS

CANT_START_IMMEDIATE = 1

JOB_NOSTEPS = 5

JOB_NOTEX = 6

LOCK_FAILED = 7

IF sy-subrc <> 0.

ENDIF.

Hi Shashikant

Check your dynamically created variant g_variant.

invalid_data is raised only when there is a formatting error in the data,you are providing to FM.and when the file if any you are uploading to program which has data not in specified format.
