Program not generating spool in background processing

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Hope you are all doing well.

Wish to have your assistance regarding the report 'rsau_tms_show_import'. It is to view import history.

The program is coded for dialog execution only so i've created a customized one for it to be able to run in background. I've set the variant of the program to display import history of the previous month and number of entries is 5. However, when i tried to schedule the background job, the job just kept running for long time so i eventually canceled the job. It is not creating a spool at all.

What did I miss.

Hope to have your advice.

Thanks in advace.

Regards,

Jandi

The reason why you do not see any logging is because you do not write any logging in Z_TEST2. Would be nice if you could capture the output of the FM and write that as logging, but that will not work. The thing is that the FM contains calls to other FM's which will only work in dialog (like TMS_UI_POPUP_GET_PERIOD). So I guess you have to find a different approach.

Spool is created when there is WRITE command or some other output (e.g. ALV). I really doubt an FM would provide such output, that would be odd. There is also no "dialog" in background mode. I'm really not sure what was the expectation here... Want to get a spool - write the code accordingly.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[DoanManhQuynh]

there is fm: TMS_UIQ_DISPLAY_REQUESTS called in there to show the result in a dynpro, it might be the reason your job keep running, you should debug your job to find out.

for the question about spool, you have to write it in your program. maybe with your requirement, its better to use fm: TMS_TM_GET_HISTORY.
