Submit and Wait ?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am using JOB_OPEN , SUBMIT and JOB_CLOSE for program to create a spool.

My problem is after the JOB_CLOSE i am calling another report to send output of first report from the spool.

My problem is after submitting the program report1 system calls the job_close and tried to send report1 output as mail. But still the submit report1 is still running .

My question how to use submit statement wait for submit report1 is finished and then only call JOB_CLOSE.

    call function 'JOB_OPEN'
      exporting
        jobname          = v_jobname
      importing
        jobcount         = v_jobcount
      exceptions
        cant_create_job  = 01
        invalid_job_data = 02
        jobname_missing  = 03
        others           = 99.

    submit report1
                    via job v_jobname
                    number v_jobcount
                    to sap-spool without spool dynpro
                    spool parameters wa_params
                    and return.

    call function 'JOB_CLOSE'
      exporting
        jobcount          = v_jobcount
        jobname           = v_jobname
        strtimmed         = 'X'
      importing
        job_was_released  = v_job_released
      exceptions
        invalid_startdate = 01
        jobname_missing   = 02
        job_close_failed  = 03
        job_nosteps       = 04
        job_notex         = 05
        lock_failed       = 06
        others            = 99.

  submit report2 with spool = v_spool. " For mailing

One option would be to add job steps using the FM JOB_SUBMIT. This way you can say that the next step in the job should wait for the previous to end before continuing.

After submit can u try

WAIT UP TO 2 SECONDS.

and see what happens.

nobody knows how long a certain report will last, so wait up to X seconds can work one day and give problems the other day.

Than it would be better to use FM SHOW_JOBSTATE and see if report is finished. But you have to do this a DO - ENDDO / WHILE - ENDWHILE.

Thanks Mike.

Your solution work well

    call function 'JOB_OPEN'

      exceptions
        cant_create_job  = 01
        invalid_job_data = 02
        jobname_missing  = 03
        others           = 99.

    submit ygenr001
                    via job v_jobname
                    number v_jobcount
                    to sap-spool without spool dynpro
                    spool parameters wa_params
                    and return.

" Simply call the JOB_SUBMIT with extpgm_wait_for_termination = 'X'
