how to call another program from one program

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a requirement like I have one program say zrep1 this will have the spool request number as select options and when the user selects multiple option it should navigate to other transaction which should be exactly similar to sp02 say zsp02 and when the user selects multiple spool numbers in this transaction the control should go back to the report program ZREP1.Please suggest somebody how to do this?

Hi,

Kindly use statement 'SUBMIT' to call different programs for different conditions.

SUBMIT

Basic forms:

1. SUBMIT rep.

2. SUBMIT (name).

Extras:

1. ... LINE-SIZE col

2. ... LINE-COUNT line

3. ... TO SAP-SPOOL List output to the SAP spool database

4. ... USING SELECTION-SCREEN scr

5. ... VIA SELECTION-SCREEN

6. ... AND RETURN

7. ... EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY

8. ... USER user VIA JOB job NUMBER n

9. ...Various additions for passing parameters to rep

10. ... USING SELECTION-SETS OF PROGRAM prog

Effect

Calls report rep.

The system leaves the active program and starts the new report rep. In basic form 2, you can specify the name of the report in the field name. You must specify the name in uppercase, otherwise a runtime error occurs.

Note

You can only start programs with type '1' using SUBMIT. If the program has a different type, the system triggers a runtime error.

Please consult Data Area and Modularization Unit Organization documentation as well.

Addition 1

... LINE-SIZE col

Effect

The list generated by the report has the line width col.

Addition 2

... LINE-COUNT line

Effect

The list generated by the report has line lines per page.

Addition 4

... USING SELECTION-SCREEN scr

Effect

When you execute the report, the system uses the selection screen number that you specify in the scr field. This must be a selection screen defined using the SELECT-OPTIONS, PARAMETERS and SELECTION-SCREEN statements.If you omit the addition, the system uses the standard selection screen 1000.

This addition allows you to start the same report in different situations, using a different selection screen each time.

Notes

The addition VIA SELECTION SCREEN determines whether the report is processed in the foreground or the background.

What happens if the required screen does not exist or is not a selection screen?

Screen 1000:

If you want to use the standard selection screen (... USING SELECTION-SCREEN 1000 or do not specify a ... USING SELECTION-SCREEN) addition, the system does not process a selection screen.

Other selection screens:

The system triggers a runtime error.

Addition 5

... VIA SELECTION-SCREEN

Effect

The selection screen is displayed. In this case, the selection screen is displayed again after the report list has been displayed. The values entered by the user remain displayed.

Addition 6

... AND RETURN

Effect

Returns to the calling transaction or program after the called program has been executed. SUBMIT ... AND RETURN creates a new internal session.

Addition 7

... EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY

Effect

Does not display the output list of the called report, but saves it in ABAP memory and leaves the called report immediately. Since the calling program can read the list from memory and process it further, you need to use the addition ... AND RETURN . Also, since the called report cannot be requested for printing, the addition ... TO SAP-SPOOL is not allowed here. In addition, you must not assign a function code to the ENTER key in the current GUI status. The saved list is read from the SAP memory using the function module 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY' and can then be saved to the database using EXPORT, for example. You can process this list further with the function modules 'WRITE_LIST', 'DISPLAY_LIST' ... of the function group "SLST".

Addition 8

... USER user VIA JOB job NUMBER n

Effect

Schedules the specified report in the job specified by the job name job and the job number n. The job runs under the user name user and you can omit the addition USER user. The assignment of the job number occurs via the function module JOB_OPEN (see also the documentation for the function modules JOB_CLOSE and JOB_SUBMIT). This addition can only be used with the addition ...AND RETURN.

Note

When scheduling a report with the SUBMIT ... VIA JOB job NUMBER n statement, you should always use the addition ...TO SAP-SPOOL to pass print and/or archive parameters. Otherwise, default values are used to generate the list and this disturbs operations in a production environment.

SY-SUBRC = 0:

Job scheduled successfully

SY-SUBRC = 4:

Job scheduling terminated by user

SY-SUBRC = 8:

Error in job scheduling (JOB_SUBMIT)

SY-SUBRC = 12:

Error in internal number assignment

Addition 10

... USING SELECTION-SETS OF PROGRAM prog

Effect

Uses variants of the program prog when executing the program rep.

Note

Important

The programs prog and rep must have the same SELECT-OPTIONS and PARAMETERs. Otherwise, variants of the program prog may be destroyed.

Note

When using this addition, the specified variant vari of the program prog is taken in USING SELECTION-SET vari. On the other hand, all variant-related actions on the selection screen of rep (Get, Save as variant, Display, Delete) refer to the variants of prog.

Example

SUBMIT REPORT01

VIA SELECTION-SCREEN

USING SELECTION-SET 'VARIANT1'

USING SELECTION-SETS OF PROGRAM 'REPORT00'

AND RETURN.

Effect

Executes the program REPORT01 with the variant VARIANT1 of the program REPORT00.

Exceptions

Non-Catchable Exceptions

Cause: The specified program was not found.

Runtime Error: LOAD_PROGRAM_NOT_FOUND

Cause: Invalid value passed to a selection with SIGN.

Runtime Error: SUBMIT_WRONG_SIGN

Cause: The specified program is not a report.

Runtime Error: SUBMIT_WRONG_TYPE

Cause: More than one value passed to a report parameter.

Runtime Error: SUBMIT_IMPORT_ONLY_PARAMETER

Cause: Table passed to a selection with WITH sel IN itab that has an unexpected structure.

Runtime Error: SUBMIT_IN_ITAB_ILL_STRUCTURE

Hi,

To send the output of reports you call from within your program using SUBMIT to the spool system, you must include the TO SAP-SPOOL option into the SUBMIT statement:

Syntax

SUBMIT <rep> TO SAP-SPOOL

[<params>|SPOOL PARAMETERS <pripar>]

[ARCHIVE PARAMETERS <arcpar>]

[WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO].

The SUBMIT statement is described in detail in the section Calling Executable Programs. If you use the TO SAP-SPOOL option, the list is formatted for printing while it is being

created, and then sent to the spool system. The remaining additions set the print parameters.

Setting the Print Parameters

The same applies to setting the print parameters as described for the NEW-PAGE PRINT ON statement (see Printing from within the Program).

Although you can set each print parameter individually using one of the <params> additions (refer to the keyword documentation ), or by using a user dialog in the SUBMIT statement, you should only retrieve the parameters using the function module GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS. (For further information, refer to Setting Print Parameters from within the Program). The function module GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS decouples the user dialog from the SUBMIT statement,

and guarantees a complete parameter set even without executing the user dialog. To determine the parameters, use only the options SPOOL PARAMETERS and ARCHIVE PARAMETERS and, to suppress the user dialog of the SUBMIT statement, use the WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO

option.

The following executable program is connected to the logical database F1S:

REPORT SAPMZTS1.

TABLES SPFLI.

GET SPFLI.

NEW-LINE.

WRITE: SPFLI-MANDT, SPFLI-CARRID, SPFLI-CONNID,

SPFLI-CITYFROM, SPFLI-AIRPFROM, SPFLI-CITYTO,

SPFLI-AIRPTO, SPFLI-FLTIME, SPFLI-DEPTIME, SPFLI-ARRTIME,

SPFLI-DISTANCE, SPFLI-DISTID, SPFLI-FLTYPE.

The following program calls SAPMZTS1 and sends the output to the spool system:

REPORT SAPMZTST NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.

DATA: VAL,

PRIPAR LIKE PRI_PARAMS,

ARCPAR LIKE ARC_PARAMS.

CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'

EXPORTING

LAYOUT = 'X_65_132'

LINE_COUNT = 65

LINE_SIZE = 132

IMPORTING

OUT_PARAMETERS = PRIPAR

OUT_ARCHIVE_PARAMETERS = ARCPAR

VALID = VAL

EXCEPTIONS

ARCHIVE_INFO_NOT_FOUND = 1

INVALID_PRINT_PARAMS = 2

INVALID_ARCHIVE_PARAMS = 3

OTHERS = 4.

IF VAL <> SPACE AND SY-SUBRC = 0.

SUBMIT SAPMZTS1 TO SAP-SPOOL

SPOOL PARAMETERS PRIPAR

ARCHIVE PARAMETERS ARCPAR

WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO.

ENDIF.

Hi,

You can use SUBMIT keyword to call one program to another program .

syntax:

SUBMIT <PROGRAM NAME>.

Other Options Available Are:

SUBMIT {rep|(name)} [selscreen_options]

[ list_options ]

[ job_options]

[AND RETURN].

1. The selscreen_options additions can be used to determine the selection screen for the program accessed and to supply it with values.

2. The list_options additions allow you to influence the output medium and the page size in the basic list for the program accessed.

3. You can schedule the program for background processing by specifying job_options.
