Something has happened during your program execution that has caused it to dump. Check ST22 for the dump, and correct the program code.

If you need help with your dump, please post the code and the ABAP runtime error that you are getting.

Hi Rich,

Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE

[RichHeilman]

Hi,

Why don't you start your program in foreground, just to check the error occuring. Then try to use ST22

Hi Rich,

Actually its a 1550 ln of code when i run that its taking more time and it was giving time lapsed error so only went to run the program in background.

So how long does it run before it cancels? Does it use custom tables or custom function modules? If not, send me the code via email. You can use the email address on my business card.

Hi Svetlin,

I exactly don't no for a report if we execute in background, will there be a session created by that ?

Regards,

Nagesh.

[RichHeilman]

Then I think that there is something in the beginning of the program which is causing it to cancel. Please post some code.

And yes, you can definitly run report programs in the background.

Hi,

I offered you a test run in foreground, in order to investigate the exact line at which the error occurs(ST22).

Hi Nagesh,

Can you briefly explain what this program is doing? Check transaction SM21 for the error and let us know what you see.

Put a break point in your program at the first executable statement in your start-of-selection and execute your program online. See if that helps.

If nothing helps, then issue some messages in your program at several places. These messages will go into your job log and that way you will know exactly where the problem occured.

Also, please remember to reward people who are trying to help you.

Hi,

To run a job in background, do F8 and then enter the selection screen values and then instead of pressing F8 do <b>F9</b>. then uncheck the print option.

Then press ok.

Tehn press immediate, then save.

Now it will show a message saying that job scheduled in background.

Now goto<b> SM37</b> press F8, now u can see the jobname and the status if it is finished it will create an spool. Then click the jobname and the spool in the toolbar u can see the list created. then click and see teh output list generated.

If it is canceled then some error has occured, so u can chose the job and put <b>shdb</b> in the command prompt and start debugging and check where it fails.

Hope this helps.

pl. can u tell this in detail because when i go to SM37 and execute it i can see my job but when i go to SHDB i am not able to see my job over there.

"If it is canceled then some error has occured, so u can chose the job and put shdb in the command prompt and start debugging and check where it fails."

Thanks

firstly, post the code of your program as said by Rich,

secondly, have you done coding for running program in background

i.e.

if sy-batch = 'X'.

RUN ALV CLASSIC

enif.

third, do you have authorization to run program in background.

regards.
