Hi All,

Can you pls let me know whether there is a FM which will prompt the user for an input while running a report. I am running report with back ground job FMs, i need this input prompt so that the user can give any name for the job he is going to submit.

Thank You,

Sharan.

Hi Sharan

If you need the prompt when executing in background it is not possible, as the job executes in the application server whereas prompting required GUI. Hence the job gets termination with a dump.

If you executing a online report and then SUBMIT a job this is possible via FM's.

You can explore in SE37 with pattern POPUPINPUT*

Select a FM that suits your requirement.

Kind Regards

good

try this

POPUP_TO_CONFIRM_LOSS_OF_DATA Create a dialog box in which you make a question whether the user wishes to perform a processing step with loss of data.

POPUP_TO_CONFIRM_STEP Create a dialog box in which you make a question whether the user wishes to perform the step.

thanks
