Problem in submiting standard program via job

[Former Member]

Hi Experts ,

I have developed programs for creating and posting return lots and payment lots for multiple incoming files. For this i have submited standard program of FPB3 and FPB5 transaction . What happened is , if the child program fails due to some reason for one file , it is not coming back to the mother program and as a result other files remain unprocessed . So for this i tried with submiting the child program Via job so that if child program fails , only that job will fail and the mother program will not fail , so rest files will be processed .

But the problem is the child program (standard program of FPB3/FPB5 ) is not working by this i.e. the lots are not getting created adn.

Awaiting for any respone .

Hello,

Did you use SUBMIT ... AND RETURN initially? If possible paste the code for your SUBMIT statement.

Hi Suhas,

ya .. i have written the return part . Kindly look into the junk of code of submit .

SUBMIT rfkkze00 "rfkkze00

WITH p_runid = lv_lotid

WITH r_norm = 'X'

WITH as_fname = l_file

WITH r_err = space "to check

WITH r_rst = space "

WITH p_xprot = 'X'

WITH p_xclos = 'X'

WITH p_xbuch = 'X'

WITH p_xsofst = 'X'

WITH p_xcont = space

WITH p_strdt = sy-datum

WITH p_strtm = sy-uzeit

WITH p_xpara = 'X'

WITH p_xfltr = space "check data at execution only..try with X

WITH p_xlist = 'X'

WITH p_xprot = 'X'

VIA JOB gc_job_name NUMBER l_c_number

AND RETURN.

The VIA JOB part is added later .

Hi,

If you are using Submit via Job, you need to use JOB_OPEN and JOB_CLOSE FM's.

JOB_OPEN : Create a new job and return you the job number which you use in Submit

JOB_CLOSE: Will set the release conditions of the job.

Example:

DATA: number TYPE tbtcjob-jobcount, 
      name TYPE tbtcjob-jobname VALUE 'JOB_TEST', 
      print_parameters TYPE pri_params. 

... 

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN' 
  EXPORTING 
    jobname          = name 
  IMPORTING 
    jobcount         = number 
  EXCEPTIONS 
    cant_create_job  = 1 
    invalid_job_data = 2 
    jobname_missing  = 3 
    OTHERS           = 4. 
IF sy-subrc = 0. 
  SUBMIT submitable TO SAP-SPOOL 
                    SPOOL PARAMETERS print_parameters 
                    WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO 
                    VIA JOB name NUMBER number 
                    AND RETURN. 
  IF sy-subrc = 0. 
    CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE' 
      EXPORTING 
        jobcount             = number 
        jobname              = name 
        strtimmed            = 'X' 
      EXCEPTIONS 
        cant_start_immediate = 1 
        invalid_startdate    = 2 
        jobname_missing      = 3 
        job_close_failed     = 4 
        job_nosteps          = 5 
        job_notex            = 6 
        lock_failed          = 7 
        OTHERS               = 8. 
    IF sy-subrc <> 0. 
      ... 
    ENDIF. 
  ENDIF. 
ENDIF.

Hi Max ,

I have 2 different programs for FPB3 and FPB5 .

In each program for different files even i am passing different job name by concatenating sy-uzeit and filename

[Former Member]

Perhaps I don't understand your problem

Can you explain it again?

Hi Max ,

My requirement is accept the payment files from application server and post it in FICA .

For this i have written a program to process files . For posting i am submitting the program of standard transaction FPB3 .

So everything going fine .

Now the problem is if there is some error in the child program for one file , then it is not coming back to the mother program .

So to resolve this problem i tried wih Via job (with different job name for different files) so that only that job will fail and will come back to the main program .

But now the problem is with addition of Via JOB the the child program is not behaving properly , i mean posting is not happening .

If i am commenting the via job part , then its working fine .

So just wondering what could be the problem ....

Hope u got the point .....

Hi Goldy,

Instead of using the via job, try this :

If the child fails, it will create a session in SM35 which can be processed later.

CALL TRANSACTION 'FPB3' USING it_bdcdata
                          MODE 'N'
                          UPDATE 'S'.

  IF sy-subrc NE 0.
     do nothing.
