Problems with Sumbit a report to update database

[Former Member]

There is report which can output a list and update database table at same time, I use 'export listing to memory' to avoid listing display, but there is a error occured for updateing database. That mean when calling program continue to execute, a logic to check database value will occur a error cause that report doesn't commit the update to database.

Any help will be appreciated.

SUBMIT REPORT .... EXPORTING LIST to MEMORY.

COMMIT WORK.

Paul - could you please be a bit more specific in the sequence of events? Is it:

Program a submits program b exporting list to memory.

Program b updates database.

program a reads list and processes it.

Anothe rissue may be that Report A calls Report B.

Report B updates the database.

In report A when you select from databse you donot find the entries.

One reason may be that Report B updates in update task.

In this case you can use -

SUBMIT B exporting list to ....

COMMIT WORK AND WAIT .

( System will wait for update task to update teh databse ).

Hi all, thanks for you help. I had already use 'commit work and wait', but it dones't work, update still not be put into database.

check in debugger the value of sy-subrc after u update the database and before doing a commit work...ur update(or insert) statement may not be actually inserting the values....or ur internal table used to update database table may be empty...

u can also check with sy-dbcnt to know how many rows were updated...this will give u a fair idea on whether ur statement actually updated the database or not

rgds,

Hi

It seems the report which you calling is a SAP standard report . Can you give the report name which you are calling from your custom program.

The caller program is also a customer program.
