Submit rfbibl01 fails in background as 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY' raising exceptio

Question

Hi All,
I have a requirement where I submit "rfbibl01" in a custom program. The program works fine in foreground. Below is the code I am using for foreground run. The list output of rfbibl01 is being written to memory using the below submit statement and then read using FM 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY' into an internal table. This internal table is being used for further processing.
    SUBMIT rfbibl01 WITH  ds_name   =   v_filetemp
                    WITH  fl_check  =   v_fl_check
                    WITH  os_xon    =   ''
                    WITH  xnonunic  =   ''
                    WITH  callmode  =   'C'                   
                    WITH  max_comm  =   '1000'
                    WITH  pa_xprot  =   ''
                    WITH  anz_mode  =   'N'
                    WITH  update    =   'S'
                    WITH  xpop      =   ''
                    WITH  xlog      =   'X'
                    WITH  xinf      =   ''
                    EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY AND RETURN.
    CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
      TABLES
        listobject = i_memory_list[]
      EXCEPTIONS
        not_found  = 1
        OTHERS     = 2.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
      Error  'List not Found' .
    ENDIF.
The same code gives exception for FM 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY', when run in background. The submit statement is successfull, but the FM raises error message and so the background processing is stopped.
I have tried changing my code for background mode as below.

      ENDIF.
But I do not see any spool number generated. My requirement is to use this spool number, job name and job number to get the list that is written to the spool and then do some processing on it.
Can anyone suggest me how to solve this issue?

Hello Deepthi,
Check whether the report is displaying ALV grid when it  is executed in bacground.
Since when the report displays ALV grid then u can't export the list to memory from ALV grid.
