Foreground and Background

raja_ksravankumarreddy — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 10:18:56 GMT

In my application a program can executed either in foreground or in background. when the program is executed in

the foreground , I dont want to execute certain portion of the code. Similaly, when the job is executed as a background job,

I dont want to execute certain portion of the code. Is it possible? If yes, please share the details.

Thank you in advance.

hi Raja,

you can check sy-batch during runtime. If it is 'X' it means the program wuns in background.

hope this helps

Hi,

Check the portion with the system variable "sy-batch" .

This variable is 'X' when executing in background.

Hi,

Possible. When a program is run in the background the system variable SY-BATCH is set to 'X'.

Hence by checking this variable you can segregate the code.

Hi Raja,

You could do as per your requirement.

There is a system table field known as sy-batch. this field is initial if the program is getting executed in foreground. if sy-batch is not initial then, it means that the program is getting executed in background.

so use a simple if condition.

if sy-batch is initial.

<portion of code to be run in foreground>.

else.

<portion of code to be executed in background>.

endif.

Reward points if this helps,

Kiran

Hi,

Check the below code...

IF sy-batch = 'X'.

Do back ground processing.

ELSE.

Do foreground processing.

ENDIF.
