Catching Errors of a Batch Input

Former Member — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 09:55:54 GMT

Good Morning,

I'm using the following to generate a Batch Input:


* Generate BI folder (Standard program)

  CONCATENATE text-001 pa_bukrs sy-datum
         INTO jobname
 SEPARATED BY space.

  CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
    EXPORTING
      jobname          = jobname
    IMPORTING
      jobcount         = jobcount
    EXCEPTIONS
      cant_create_job  = 1
      invalid_job_data = 2
      jobname_missing  = 3
      OTHERS           = 4.

  IF sy-batch IS INITIAL.
    SUBMIT (programa) VIA JOB jobname NUMBER jobcount
            TO SAP-SPOOL AND RETURN IMMEDIATELY ' '
            WITH ds_name = pa_filed
            WITH fl_check = space
            WITH callmode = 'D'
            WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO.
  ELSE.
    SUBMIT (programa) VIA JOB jobname NUMBER jobcount
            TO SAP-SPOOL AND RETURN IMMEDIATELY ' '
            WITH ds_name = pa_filed
            WITH fl_check = space
            WITH callmode = 'B'
            WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO.
  ENDIF.

  CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
    EXPORTING
      jobcount             = jobcount
      jobname              = jobname
      strtimmed            = 'X'
    EXCEPTIONS
      cant_start_immediate = 1
      invalid_startdate    = 2
      jobname_missing      = 3
      job_close_failed     = 4
      job_nosteps          = 5
      job_notex            = 6
      lock_failed          = 7
      OTHERS               = 8.

  IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
    MESSAGE i090(z3) WITH jobname.
  ELSE.
    MESSAGE e089(z3) WITH jobname.
  ENDIF.

  SUBMIT rsbdcsub AND RETURN WITH mappe = pasta.

I have two questions concerning this:

1st - What's the difference between callmode 'B' and call mode 'D'? I've tested the two modes and i can see that with mode 'B' when i go to sm35 the batch is there, and if i use mode 'D' nothing is created there.

2nd - I need to know if the job had errors and if so, i need to be able to know the description of the errors and return that information to a internal table in order to display it. Is this possible, if yes, how can i do that in my program?

Best Regards,

Pedro Gaspar

Hi,

obviously B creates a session (Batch input folder) and the other call mode is Dialog.

For the B mode: you can see only after you executed the session the errors or succesfully posted docs in the protocol in SM35.

D will execute the postings in background immediately. Check in SM37 the "job-log".
