Submit statement

Former Member — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 15:36:33 GMT

Hi,

does the below statement execute in background mode?

If not how can I attach Job name, job count to this statement.

I do not want to use ranges. When calling a different program I want it to open a selection-screen and then process(to retrieve data) in background with selection criteria



Job_open.....

SUBMIT ZABC
VIA SELECTION-SCREEN
EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY
AND RETURN.

job_close....

Thanks

look at F1 help on submit statement

you have to use additions USER user VIA JOB job NUMBER n.

This particular statement can be used in background processing. However, it seems that you want to use foreground and background processing in one program. In that case use the function modules created for this. I believe they are called something like 'JOB_OPEN', 'JOB_CLOSE', etc.

Francois

I guess I can't use Via selection-screen

and Via job (both in one statement).

I tried F1 and couldn't find a syntax which clubs both of these.

Can some one plz let me know if the above submit statement executes in background with out specifying jobname???

      host like msxxlist-host.
data: begin of starttime.
        include structure tbtcstrt.
data: end of starttime.
data: starttimeimmediate like btch0000-char1.
