Duplicate Job

[sudhakar_bhaskar2]

Hello ABAP Guru's

I want to be able to stop duplicate instances of a program executed in background. Is there a standard SAP function module that takes program name (not jobname) and tell if there are more than 1 active instance executing in background?

Note: I dont want to use the jobname as the same program can be released by 2 different users with different job names.

Here are a couple possible options:

1. Create a lock object with program name as the parameter. In the beginning of your program, lock the program, and unlock it after it is done.

2. The program could check TBTCP/TBTCO to see if a job is currently running with this program as one of its steps.
