Error handling while uploading data through Batch Input Session

Question

I want to upload data from a file to 2 different infotypes at the same time. One is a user defined infotype 9010 and the other is a standard infotype 2010. 9010 infotype has the start and end time whereas 2010 doesn't.While uploading I have put validations to check duplicate entries for infotype 9010 based on the start time and endtime. The duplicate entry is rejected in 9010 but the same gets uploaded in 2010. In 2010 I can't put any validations because there is no start time and end time.  I want to prevent the upload of the entry in infotype 2010 if it is not uploaded in 9010. Please help.

Doing IMPORT?EXPORT will act like a global variable shared between two separate programs.
Here is an example:
In first part, export the values to a memory variable after your conditions satisfy and you want to set a flag, like this ...
    free memory id 'ZFLAG_VAR'. "recomended to clear that variable
                        " before start, you dont need to declare it
    data: l_flag type c.
    if my_condition = 'true'.
      l_flag = 'X'.
      export l_flag to memory id 'ZFLAG_VAR'.
    endif.
In second part, you can
import l_flag from memory id 'ZFLAG_VAR'.
if l_flag = 'X'.
   write: 'hmmmm ... the flag was marked, so my condition was true in last part'.
endif.
