Problem submitting a report in back ground

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm trying to submit a report in background and I always get an error saying make an entry in all required fields. But it works perfectly fine in foreground. I'm not sure what am I doing wrong. Pls suggest.............I'm not using any front end FMs...

SUBMIT RKAEP000 via selection-screen

USING SELECTION-SCREEN 310

with p_tcode eq 'KOB2'

WITH SELECTION-TABLE seltab

TO SAP-SPOOL WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO

AND RETURN.

You should syntax similar to what is below...

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.

Just check whether u have filled all the mandatory fields for the selection screen 310 in the submit statement or not ???

You cannot execute a background job with a job name obtained through JOB_OPEN function call.

I hope this is clear.

Hi Vishnu,

I'm yet to try ur method. But now r u trying to tell what u have suggested wud not work in background..........pls clarify

[Former Member]

Oops that was a typo, sorry

You cannot execute a background job with<u>out</u> a job name which is obtained through JOB_OPEN function call.

I hope this is clear. The background process needs a job to execute right?

[Former Member]

Hi,

Thanx for clarifications. But when run with job name creation, while creating the job name I'm getting this below error....

"BTC_A2C_CLEAN_ZOMBIE_LOG" has already been declared.

[Former Member]

[Former Member]

[Former Member]
