calling a function in tasks

[Former Member]

HI gurus

Is the following implementation in-correct. This for me should be creating invoices as the function module YSHELL_INCOMING is calling a bapi inturn...however I do not get any tables filled and there is no return in the return table.

DO 5 TIMES.

WRITE SY-INDEX TO V_TASK.

CALL FUNCTION 'YSHELL_INCOMING'

STARTING NEW TASK V_TASK

performing set_function1 on end of task

EXPORTING

HEADERDATA = G_INV_HEADER

TABLES

ITEMDATA = G_INV_ITEMDATA

ACCOUNTINGDATA = G_INV_ACCDATA

GLACCOUNTDATA = G_INV_GLDATA

WITHTAXDATA = G_INV_WITHTAXDATA

RETURN = G_INV_RETURN.

ENDDO.

form set_function1 using taskname.

receive results from function 'YSHELL_INCOMING'

IMPORTING

INVOICEDOCNUMBER = G_INVOICE

FISCALYEAR = G_FYEAR.

endform.

endform.

Move Add

> TABLES

> RETURN = G_INV_RETURN

to the RECEIVE RESULTS section. Also add this to the aRFC-call and check sy-subrc, as there might be a technical problem with the aRFC:

> EXCEPTIONS

> communication_failure = 1

> system_failure = 2

> resource_failure = 3

> others = 4.

P.S. you should also do a COMMIT WORK inside YSHELL_INCOMING

Pretty sure you need to WAIT till its done. Here is an example program using the WAIT.

report zrich_0001.

data: functioncall1(1) type c.
constants: done(1) type c value 'X'.

data: cstgdetail1 type bapicustomer_kna1.

parameters: p_kunnr1 type kna1-kunnr.

start-of-selection.

  call function 'BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETDETAIL2'
           starting new task 'FUNC1'
             destination 'NONE'
              performing set_function1_done on end of task
    exporting
      customerno                  = p_kunnr1.


* Receive remaining asynchronous replies
  wait until functioncall1 = done.

  write:/  cstgdetail1.

************************************************************************
*       FORM FUNCTION1_DONE
************************************************************************
form set_function1_done using taskname.

  receive results from function 'BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETDETAIL2'
   importing
      customergeneraldetail       = cstgdetail1.

  functioncall1 = done.

endform.

Hi Rich , should my Z- Function Module be RFC enabled to make this work , I am receiving a short dump right now.

[Former Member]

Hi Rich,

One question : Does my Z-function module have to RFC enabled to make this work .

[ThomasZloch]

In case Rich is out for lunch: yes

Also I strongly recommend you see my answer above. I am using aRFC and it works nicely.

Thomas and Rich , thank you very much for your help , it seems to be working now , my function module was missing RFC enabled and few other tinkering .
