Batch input number of lines

[luis_rod]

Hi all,

We have a batch input where the number of lines being processed seems to be determined by the SAP GUI theme. That is, if the user has one of the newest themes say, Belize, the number of lines is less that if it has an older theme.

Any ideas?

TIA,

Luis

Yeah, that's the "beauty" of batch inputs. What transaction and screen is that?

Did you try to record or run batch input in background mode ?

• During the recording (SHDB) chek the 'Default Size' and 'Simulate Background Mode')
• During execution use the OPTION FROM of CALL TRANSACTION statement with DEFSIZE = 'X'
• Look for a BAPI

Check SAP GUI settings, update to the latest version, review batch input logic for theme dependencies, and contact SAP support if the issue persists.

As Raymond said, that's what 'the 'Default Size' (DEFSIZE) is for, fixing the size screen when the batch input is running in 'A' or 'E' display mode (not 'N' display mode).

NB: the option 'Simulate Background Mode' is for another feature, but it forces the batch input to use the default screen size (that's why Raymond proposed it, I guess).

For more information, see the ABAP documentation - Default size.

All,

Thanks for your answers. As soon as I can will check your suggestions (right now at home with a nasty cold 😞 )

Sandra guessed right, and take good care of yourself.
