Program works using debugger but dumps in background or dialogue

[former_member852447]

hello experts,

I have a confusing issue. When I run the program in the debugger it works fine but when I run it in the background or dialogue mode I get an ABAP dump with the following message:

CL_GUI_CUSTOM_CONTAINER----------------------------CP " CNTL_ERROR"

What does this error mean and what code could I insert in the program to avoid this error.

Thank you.

Hi David,

May be this program has object oriented gird or OOPS object. In that case it wont run in background and results in the error you have mentioned. If you are using these containers for displaying 'any' kind of enjoy SAP GUI control you can use them in foreground. This is because these containers are created on a screen, and in background screens can not be processed.

Please go through Note 774172 - Runtime error when  started in background. This gives the detailed explination for the dump you are getting.

Regards,

Kethan.

Hi David,

CL_GUI_CUSTOM_CONTAINER does not support for background process. You need to add the below code to work in background mode.

CALL METHOD cl_gui_alv_grid=>offline

                RECEIVING e_offline = l_offline.

    IF l_offline IS INITIAL.

      CREATE OBJECT l_custom_container

             EXPORTING container_name = l_container.

    ENDIF.

ENDMETHOD.

Hi David ,

Before this container have you used any BAPI or FM modules to update or select the data.

if so you just  use BAPI_Transaction_commit to make the control to be wait for some seconds.

Hi David,

Try using docking container's logic for creating ALV using oops in background mode.

Hope this helps.

Hi David,

I'm also facing the same issue in a custom report program.

How did you solve this issue and what changes you made to the container to run in the background.

Change the GUI container present in your program to Docking container . Will execute in background without any problems.

Hi Rojer,

I tried changing the GUI container to docking container implementing the below code:

gr_dockcontainer IS INITIAL.

**create the container where the work area control will reside

          CREATE OBJECT gr_dockcontainer

          EXPORTING

            name = 'WORK_AREA_CONTAINER'.

        ENDIF.

    i_parent_control = gr_dockcontainer.



    CREATE OBJECT m_base_splitter

      EXPORTING

        parent            = i_parent_control

        ROWS              = 1

        columns           = 2

      EXCEPTIONS

        cntl_error        = 1

        cntl_system_error = 2

        OTHERS            = 3.



    CALL METHOD m_base_splitter->get_container

      EXPORTING

        row       = 1

        column    = 2

      RECEIVING

        container = m_splitter_right_part

      EXCEPTIONS

        OTHERS    = 1.

When I ran it in background I again face the same error GUI cannot be reached.Attached is the snapshot of the job log. Please help.
