Problem with Dynamic Date Calculation (?)

[former_member504446]

Dear gurus,

here is a complete mystery to me:

We have a program that is supposed to change certain PRs. The PRs are selected from EBAN like this:

SELECT * FROM eban
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE gt_eban
WHERE banfn IN so_banfn
AND bsart IN so_bsart
AND knttp EQ 'F'
AND loekz NE 'X'
AND ekgrp IN so_ekgrp
AND erdat IN so_erdat
AND matnr IN so_matnr
AND werks IN so_werks.

The program is started hourly as a job. In the variant used, SO_ERDAT is set by Dynamic Date Calculation (Local Date) with “Current date -  1 ,current date -  0”.

In my view and according to my tests, that means, that all PRs created today and yesterday should be selected. And this works fine most of the time, BUT:

At every execution of the job on Mondays between 0:00 and 04:00 AM the job runs amok, selecting even PRs created in 2002, thus increasing its running time from a little over a minute to more than an hour and causing other problems, too.

Does anyone have an idea what could cause this?

Hi Alicia Moore,

as long as you provide the ERDAT in your job, it should work as you expected.

only when ERDAT is empty, it would select everything - not checking for ERDAT.

with job scheduling i faced, that mostly it was an old job, with other settings, causing errors like this.

or if ur testing on a system with more than 1 Mandant and using the event-scheduling , u may have started the job defined on the other mandant.

Alicia,

Is the job scheduled via se38 or sm36? Check OSS note - 1917960.

Thanks
