  CALL FUNCTION 'RS_REFRESH_FROM_SELECTOPTIONS'
    EXPORTING
      CURR_REPORT     = 'ZTEST'
    TABLES
      SELECTION_TABLE = seltab.

* submit this report with seltab and export to memory
    SUBMIT ZTEST with SELECTION-TABLE seltab
                        EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY
                        AND RETURN.

    CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
      TABLES

Hi huai,

1. I tried just now

2. this error will come if

the program (which was submitted)

did not print/display anything in the output.

3. so in your program, ZTEST ,

first, for testing purpose,

just print a test matter 'HELLO'

(without any if condition)

4. Then check this FM. it will work fine.

Huai Ying Tan ,

if your submit program didn't give any report then obviously it will give the same error.

the problem with your submit.

SUBMIT ZTEST with SELECTION-TABLE seltab

EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY

AND RETURN.

check the seltab values.

You aren't catching the error. Call the FM like this:

CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
  TABLES
    listobject = abaplist
  <b>EXCEPTIONS
    not_found  = 1.</b>

IF sy-subrc <> 0.
*No list to process.
ENDIF.

Hi there!

I solved my problem! I am working on ZTEST program, and try to export list to memory using submit ZTEST. And finally I found that i get the NOT FOUND error if i am submitting the same program, if I separate it into 2 program, such as SUBMIT ZTEST_2 EXPORT...., it works well no matter in frontend or as background job.

Thanks a lot for your help.. You guys do let me learn a lot about ABAP!

Best Regards,

huai ying..
