Regarding "Wait up to"

[Former Member]

Hi,

After I call a FM I need to stop the process for less than a second.

I thought that i could use WAIT UP TO 0.5 SECONDS, but i doesnt seem to work that way. It only works with integers.

So, if anyone could suggest anything, it would be very usefull.

Regards,

Roberto.

Use like this.....

WAIT up to '0.5' seconds.

HI

ABAP keyword WAIT: Required if you wish to wait for all of the asynchronous parallel tasks created with CALL FUNCTION to return. This is normally a requirement for orderly background processing. May be used only if the CALL FUNCTION includes the PERFORMING ON RETURN addition.

Hi Roberto,

WAIT should only be used with asynchronous Remote Function Calls ( CALL FUNCTION func ...STARTING NEW TASK task name) and the addition PERFORMING form ON END OF TASK. It has no effect in other environments.

Hi Roberto,

Try the following code:

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA'
      EXPORTING
        HEADDATA    = EX_HEADDATA
        CLIENTDATA  = EX_CLIENTDATA
        CLIENTDATAX = EX_CLIENTDATAX
        PLANTDATA   = EX_PLANTDATA
        PLANTDATAX  = EX_PLANTDATAX
      IMPORTING
        RETURN      = IM_RETURN.


    IF IM_RETURN-TYPE = 'E'.

    ELSE.
      COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.
      WAIT UP TO 5 SECONDS.

    ENDIF.

It would probably be much more efficient to determine which lock has not been released and then continue when it has been released rather than using an arbitrary WAIT statement.

Hi,

you can not use fractions in Wait upto commant it should be whole integer.

e.g wait upto 1 seconds.

Roberto - in this forum, the proper way to say "thanks" is by assigning points to the answers you found helpful.

yes, everyone should give the points for the useful answer.

On the other hand, you've got into the habit of ASKING for points, and that's not allowed under the forum rules.
