Return value from the called program to the calling program in submit stmt

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a report_1 that is scheduled as a background job. this report is calling another report_2 through submit. Now there could be error or success of report_2 and then it gets updated in SM37.

SUBMIT report_2

WITH bill_no = gs_bill_no-vbeln

AND RETURN.

Currently SM37 is not getting updated but it shows the stauts finished even if its an error.

How do i return that error value to report_1.

Thanks.
