Call same tcode without falling into endless loops

Former Member — Mon, 22 Feb 2016 10:49:20 GMT

Hello Experts,

When Changing Report A it is nesecceary to use

SUBMIT Report B

WITH s_batch IN rt_charg

EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY AND RETURN.

But in our case Report B is a Replica of Report A and we would not want to keep two identical programs to prevent the accumulation amount of information that we do not need making it difficult to categorize.

Is it possible to Submit the Same Report A but avoiding the endless loop. eg the first time it will submit Report A. When inside Report A there should be a condition that will prevent Sumbmision again Report A and continue the rest of the code.

Searching the web I have come across with inner session. I was thinking something like:

If inner session = 1 then:

SUBMIT Report A

WITH s_batch IN rt_charg

EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY AND RETURN.

else.

exit.

Thanks in advance

Set a memory ID in the first report, read it in the second and if it's set then don't call it, or even better use the same enqueue function that SE38 uses to lock a program for change. Then in the second report try to lock the same record and if it fails don't do the submit.

With the memory ID you need to remember to clear it when you have finished.

Look either at following statements documentation

SET / GET PARAMETER ID
EXPORT TO / IMPORT FROM MEMORY

(And don't forget to clear memory after execution)
