problem in background job

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a problem in (I think this and others that uses CL_GUI...)

CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES

OBJECTS_OBJREF_NOT_ASSIGNED

But I need to use this method in background?

How can I handle this problem?

Thanks.

Hello,

Frontend services that perform calls to your SAP Gui can only be performed in foreground, they will never run in background.

I always protect these calls and check if the program runs in foreground.

if sy-batch is initial.

call the frontend services

else.

• error handling

endif.

hi,

you cannot use any gui function modules or classes in background.
