Using SUBMIT and getting the results back

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to call a BAPI on-line (not in the background) using a different User ID as the one that's logged in. I read from the threads the use of SUBMIT ...VIA JOB.

CALL FUNTION 'OPEN JOB'...

SUBMIT zsubmitted_program

VIA JOB l_jobname

NUMBER l_jobcount

USER i_user ====> changed User ID

TO SAP-SPOOL WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO

SPOOL PARAMETERS ls_params

AND RETURN.

CALL FUNTION 'JOB_CLOSE'...

Questions:

1. How would I know that the job is finished?

2. How do I retrieve the messages returned by the BAPI so I can present it on the screen?

Many thanks,

Huntr

Hi,

Which BAPI you are trying to run ?

Hi,

I will be wrapping BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA into a Z program to run it and use the method mentioned above. I need to know by that method when the batch job is done and how to retrieve the results.

Is there a function module to retrieve the job status or log?

Also I think if i write the bapi results in the spool, I should be able to retrieve the spool. What is the function module to do so?

Regards,

Huntr
