how to break the execution within a function

[Former Member]

Hi Fox,

I have a function which sometime needs more than 10 minutes to deliver a result. In order to limit the processing time, I need to abort the function and return a flag to to another system to indicate kind of "time out". How can I do this.

Cheers!

While callin the function module, you can use

    CALL FUNCTION 'func name'
      STARTING NEW TASK w_taskname
      DESTINATION c_none
      PERFORMING f_formname ON END OF TASK
      EXPORTING

     IMPORTING

      EXCEPTIONS.

    IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.

WAIT UNTIL w_confirm EQ 'X' UP TO 100 SECONDS.

    ENDIF.


**********************************
FORM f_formname USING us_taskname TYPE any.

  RECEIVE RESULTS FROM FUNCTION <func_name>
     IMPORTING
      EXCEPTIONS

IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
MOVE 'X' TO W_CONFIRM.
ENDIF.

ENDFORM.

Hi, first thanks you very much for your feedback.

Actually this function itself is a RFC function however the part that takes very long is a PERFORM so is there any possibility to receive a feedback whenever the PERFORM takes very long? Once again the structure is like this:

FUNCTION search.

...

...

...

PERFORM get_data TABLES i_table CHANGING i_table

...

...

ENDFUNCTION

*********************

SO the PERFORM get_data is the one part which sometime take very long time to process.

Any idea ?

Thanks for you help

Hi,

Check system date and time at the start of FM , check the time and date at the part of the code where you want to set the flag. If it exceeds your time limit, say 10 mins, pass a flag to the calling program ot unit.

Thanks,
