Problem calling FM in background task in report program.

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I have issue to call a z-fm in background task in report program. This piece of code is working when I call the z-fm in background task in a user-exit.

But when I put these piece of codes in a report program, it doesn't even get triggered as I check from SM58 and no entries there.

Did I miss something here?

LOOP AT gt_mara INTO gwa_mara.
 CALL FUNCTION 'Z_FM_MM_PLANT_VAL_EXT' IN BACKGROUND TASK
                 EXPORTING
                   tcode = gc_mm01
                   wmara = gwa_mara
                   wmarc = gwa_source_plant
                   wmbew = gwa_source_valuation.
ENDLOOP.

Appreciate your opinions, thanks.

Marlson

You have to code a COMMIT-WORK statement to trigger the execution of IN BACKGROUND TASK FM calls.

Hi Marslon,

Please make sure that the FM is not using any of the frontend services like the class cl_gui_frontend_services. If yes it wont work in the background jobs.

I had a similar issue where this was the rootcause.
