Creating a thread object in ABAP

Former Member — Fri, 30 Mar 2007 09:10:24 GMT

Hi,

Is it possible to create a threa in ABAP function modules or in ABAP objects or in both?

For example do the following in ABAP code:

while(true){

if(someCheck)

else

terminate thread

}thread sleep(1 second)

regards

Baran

There is nothing like threads concept in ABAP.

But parallel processing can be done like this example:

  DO V_LINES TIMES.

    V_TASK_COUNT = SY-INDEX.
    CONCATENATE 'TASK_' V_TASK_COUNT INTO V_TASK_NAME.

    READ TABLE IT_ARBPL INTO WA_ARBPL INDEX SY-INDEX.

    P_ARBPL = WA_ARBPL-ARBPL.

    REFRESH IT_ORDERS.
    CALL FUNCTION 'ZPP_PARALLEL_PROCESS'
      STARTING NEW TASK V_TASK_NAME
      PERFORMING COLLECT_DATA ON END OF TASK
      EXPORTING
        E_ARBPL   = P_ARBPL
        E_WERKS   = P_WERKS
        E_ZPPUOM  = 'H'
        E_DATES   = IT_DATES
      TABLES
        ET_ORDERS = IT_ORDERS.
    IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
      ADD 1 TO V_WC_COUNT.
    ENDIF.
  ENDDO.

  WAIT UNTIL V_WC_COUNT = V_NUMBER_OF_WCS.

It seems like to create FM with different execution sequencies. You can refer to ARFC documentation, Similar functionality can be achieved.

Here are a couple of links which demonstrate the concept of parallel processing in ABAP:
