Executing a program multiple times with different variants

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I want to create a tool which executes a program multiple times taking different variants (which I would be

maintaining in an excel sheets) and for each time the program gets executed, its output would be

written to a particular file.

I understand that this requirement is quite vague but I am trying to figure out if a tool/program could

be written in abap which does this or do I need to think of a different platform such as C#.Net

Thanks,

Faiz

hi Rahman,

I think you can schedule a job with the same program in multiple steps, each time with different variant. Alternatively, you can write a new program and call your program using SUBMIT statement specifying variants.

Hi Rahman,

This class 'cl_salv_bs_runtime_info' will get the output of internal table.

   DO n times.

      cl_salv_bs_runtime_info=>set

      SUBMIT ZARCHER_0099 WITH VARIANT..(variant name can from your excel sheets?)

      cl_salv_bs_runtime_info=>GET_DATA

      call 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'  or OPEN DATASET...(down output to file)

   ENDDO.

Hope can help you.

Hey Rahman,

It depends how you want the data to be maintained after processing. Because:

1. Primarily each variant could be used to direct and maintain backup in different folders (through AL11)

2. Each Variant's input file could have a different file name which then could be saved in the same folder under different names with time stamps.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
