Custom Program getting error while in background

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am retrieveing data using FM "ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_DT_VIA_TABLE", it is working well when running in foreground.

While I am running in background mode, it is giving error "ERROR_APPLICATION.

This error message may be getting generated from any of these FM "ARCHIVFILE_TABLE_TO_CLIENT" or "ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_TABLE".

Please advise.

Thanks & regards,
Sowmya

Hi Sowmya,

you cannot download any data to a client, when running a program in background because your report has no client connection. The flag sy-batch indicates wethere a report runs in background or online.

Try to replace your coding with two variants for batch and online mode.

Kind regards,

Sowmya,

Background job always runs on the server and you need to give the logical file path for that system to do any file operations. It does not have any client interfaces like that of front end program.

If you would like to have both foreground and background, then you need to provide 2 file paths. Check if sy-batch = 'X' means background mode, then take the file path from the server, otherwise take the filepath from the local PC.

We got the solution.

In the Function Module ARCHIVOBJECT_GET_DT_VIA_TABLE (copied as a custom FM), we used 'ARCHIVFILE_TABLE_TO_SERVER' instead of 'ARCHIVFILE_TABLE_TO_CLIENT'.

'ARCHIVFILE_TABLE_TO_CLIENT' had GUI_DOWNLOAD which will not work in background and causing the error.

This will resolve the issue.

Thanks & Regards,

Hello Sowmya,

I used the following ABAB Code, which works in Background mode, as well as a foreground mode.
