Application-Log in IDOC-input function module

[Former Member]

Hi there,

I am a newbie in IDOC-programming and so I have my first question.

I've wrote an application log while processing the different segments, but now I have the problem that if it vomes to an error I have to set status "51" in the status table, but then SAP will make a ROLLBACK WORK I think and then I have no chance to save the application log.

But I can also not make a COMMIT WORK directly in the IDOC-processing (function module) because than the changes are saved on database.

So what can I do to save my application log?

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot.

Kind regards

Hi,

Have you thought about putting your update to the log in a separate FM and calling it as:

CALL FUNCTION xyz STARTING NEW TASK

This way it will have it's own task and update area.
