Read current background job name

[Former Member]

Hello,

I would like to know if there exists a way to find out the name of the background job where your ABAP program is currenctly running in.

Does there exist a function that I can call ?

You can get the job for a particular ABAP program by going to SM37 and give the program name in the 'ABAP Program Name' field and press execute.

You can use the function module GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFO.

I agree with Rich. I use the same function module and works very well.

call function 'GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFO'        
    importing                               
*         EVENTID                 =         
*         EVENTPARM               =         
*         EXTERNAL_PROGRAM_ACTIVE =         
*         JOBCOUNT                =         
         jobname                 = jobname  
*         STEPCOUNT               =         
    exceptions                              
         no_runtime_info         = 1        
         others                  = 2        
          .

fm SUBST_GET_JOBSTATE

and fm SLW_WL1_GET_BTCH_JOB_STATUS

(->status F = ready)

Hi,

The info is stored into table TBTCP.

Hi Erwin

I think that you can catch the name of back-ground job that your ABAP program is currently running, using system fields. (system fields example: sy-subrc)

While debugging, just see the fields in structure 'SY'. To know more about the system variables and which one may be suitable for your purpose, please check the link below:

SY-BATZO may be of your interest, check others too.

Hi,

You can get the current backgroun job name for the given program name by joining the table TBTCP & TBTCO.

Here is the sample query to get the current job name for the give program name.

SELECT tstep_{jobcount tstep}jobname tjob~status INTO CORRESPONDING

FIELDS OF TABLE joblist

FROM tbtcp AS tstep INNER JOIN tbtco AS tjob

ON tjob_{jobcount = tstep}jobcount AND

tjob_{jobname = tstep}jobname AND

tjob~status EQ 'R'

WHERE progname = your program name.

Hope this one will help u.

Best Regards,
