executing SUBMIT statement in background

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

Is it possibe in executing SUBMIT statement in backgound? If yes can anyone provide example code?

Also in terms of performance tuning how does SUBMIT fares against CALL TRANSACTION? Which is much better in terms of performance.

Appreciate your answers. Thanks!

Hi

There's no difference for the performance:

if a transaction is assigned to a report (so no dialog program, module pool), it's better to use the SUBMIT if it needs to transfer the value on SELECTION-SCREEN. It can't do it by CALL TRANSACTION.

DATA: VA_JOBNAME LIKE TBTCO-JOBNAME, 
           VN_JOBCOUNT LIKE TBTCO-JOBCOUNT.

* Open job
  CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
       EXPORTING
            JOBNAME          = VA_JOBNAME
       IMPORTING
            JOBCOUNT         = VN_JOBCOUNT
       EXCEPTIONS
            CANT_CREATE_JOB  = 1
            INVALID_JOB_DATA = 2
            JOBNAME_MISSING  = 3
            OTHERS           = 4.
  CASE SY-SUBRC.
    WHEN 0.
    WHEN OTHERS.
      MESSAGE E208(00) WITH 'Error.
  ENDCASE.

* Call report
  SUBMIT <REPORT>  USER SY-UNAME
                    VIA JOB VA_JOBNAME NUMBER VN_JOBCOUNT
                    WITH ..................................
                    AND RETURN.
* Close job

  CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
       EXPORTING
            JOBCOUNT             = VN_JOBCOUNT
            JOBNAME              = VA_JOBNAME
            STRTIMMED            = 'X'  " start immediatly
       EXCEPTIONS
            CANT_START_IMMEDIATE = 1
            INVALID_STARTDATE    = 2
            JOBNAME_MISSING      = 3
            JOB_CLOSE_FAILED     = 4
            JOB_NOSTEPS          = 5
            JOB_NOTEX            = 6
            LOCK_FAILED          = 7
            OTHERS               = 8.

Hi,

Submit is for reports. And normally reports are used for jobs.

Transaction are used for dialogs primary. With call transaction in background you have to provide batch input data with it.

In general you should prefer reports for background processing since performance.

But sometimes you can't fit requirements without using batch input (bdc).

Example:

SUBMIT RSNAST00 and return

WITH P_AGAIN eq p_again

WITH P_PRINT eq p_print

WITH P_SORT eq p_sort

WITH P_SUFF2 eq p_suff2

WITH S_KAPPL in s_kappl

WITH S_KSCHL in s_kschl

WITH S_NACHA in s_nacha

WITH S_OBJKY in s_objky.

Hello Max,

In FM JOB_OPEN the jobname is missing.. it seems that the variable VA_JOBNAME is not populated. How can we populate this value?

Appreciate your reply. Thanks

Hi

Excuse me, I'm very sorry.

It's only the job name so u can move the job name you want or like:

VA_JOBNAME = 'MY_JOB'.

Only rule is the name has to have a length of 32 char
