Wait until background jobs completed

[Former Member]

Hi All

I have developed custom program inside and i am calling the standard report in background mode. In program level i need to wait until the background jobs will complete the process. Please confirm how to specify.

In program level i am using

SUBMIT (p_name)

VIA SELECTION-SCREEN

USING SELECTION-SET P_GL_VAR

USING SELECTION-SETS OF PROGRAM c_rfitemgl

TO SAP-SPOOL SPOOL PARAMETERS job_pri_parm

WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO

VIA JOB gl_name NUMBER number

AND RETURN.

Any function module available wait until the background jobs completed.

Regards

You can check the FM 'SHOW_JOBSTATE' to check the status of the job.

Try something like this:

SUBMIT (p_name)
VIA SELECTION-SCREEN
USING SELECTION-SET p_gl_var
USING SELECTION-SETS OF PROGRAM c_rfitemgl
TO SAP-SPOOL SPOOL PARAMETERS job_pri_parm
WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO
VIA JOB gl_name NUMBER number
AND RETURN.

DO.
  CALL FUNCTION 'SHOW_JOBSTATE'
    EXPORTING
      jobcount         = gl_name
      jobname          = number
    IMPORTING
      finished         = v_fin
    EXCEPTIONS
      jobcount_missing = 1
      jobname_missing  = 2
      job_notex        = 3
      OTHERS           = 4.
  IF sy-subrc = 0.
    CHECK v_fin IS NOT INITIAL.
    EXIT.
  ELSE.
    EXIT.
  ENDIF.

ENDDO.
