to RAISE EXCEPTION -INVALID JOBDATA shortdump?

let me paste the code snippet below.

data:jobcount like tbtcjob-jobcount.

jobname = 'ZUSRTEST'.

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-subrc ne 0.

endif.

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_SUBMIT'

EXPORTING

• ARCPARAMS = ' '

AUTHCKNAM = sy-uname

JOBCOUNT = jobcount

JOBNAME = jobname

REPORT = 'zfipr_vat_report_v4'

VARIANT = 'zck_vat200'

.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

endif.

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'

EXPORTING

JOBCOUNT = jobcount

JOBNAME = jobname

STRTIMMED = 'X'

CANT_START_IMMEDIATE = 1

INVALID_STARTDATE = 2
