How to run a function for n seconds?

[former_member753379]

It is possible to stop a program if the runtime is longer than n seconds?

For example, I call a function z_get_partner_contracts.

If the function did not return a result after 5 seconds to stop the execution and return a message.

Php equivalent:

set_time_limit (10);

ini_set ('max_execution_time', 10);

I think the only ABAP concept of maximum runtime is the one defined globally for dialog/RFC tasks (profile parameters rdisp/max_wprun_time, rdisp/scheduler/prio_high/max_runtime, etc.) You can't define a specific one for only one program. You may try something like killing the sessions but that would more like a hack.

I don't think that there is any convenient way to do it from the caller's side.

But you might program something inside the callee. Pass a parameter for the n seconds and check the runtime at an appropriate position with GET RUN TIME FIELD or UTCLONG_CURRENT.
