[hr_infotype_operation fails] update it230 in it8 via clientspecified IT

Question

Hi there
I need some help to solve my problems with updating infotype 230 from a clientspecified Infotype.
How it works:
I have a client-specified Infotype (9100) that recalculates specific dates for the public sector (typical german stuff ). Those data, stored at infotype 0230, is maintained via it0008 where a small subscreen is included, to enter those Data.
At Infotype 9100 the user can start modifying data by pushing the button "modify IT0008 Data".
At PAI the fcode calls a perform where "HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION" passes the Data to IT0008.
I think everything works fine und the return structure is initial, what means: allright, nothing went wrong!
BUT: no data is transferred to the database tables!! If I press the button a second time, the system crashes with a dump ...
If I use "2" at dialogmode, infotype 8 is shown and the data is correctly inserted into the correct fields ...
The problem is: the FM "HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION" works fine, but the Data is not send to / updated in the DB tables of IT230.
Here's the coding:
****ps_0008 and ps_0230 are the datasets, containing the data to modify my infotype(s)
****p_viekn is the viewidentifier
  CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE'
    EXPORTING
      number = ps_0008-pernr
    IMPORTING
      return = gv_return_struc.
  IF NOT gv_return_struc IS INITIAL.
*** Errorhandling
    EXIT.
  ENDIF.
  CALL FUNCTION 'HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION'
  EXPORTING
    infty         = '0008'
    number        = ps_0008-pernr
    subtype       = ps_0008-subty
    validityend   = ps_0008-endda
    validitybegin = ps_0008-begda
    record        = ps_0008
    view_identifier = p_viekn
    secondary_record = ps_0230
    operation     = 'MOD'
    dialog_mode   = '0'
  IMPORTING
    return        = gv_return_struc
    key           = gv_record_key.
  CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_EMPLOYEE_DEQUEUE'
    EXPORTING
      number = ps_0008-pernr.
thankyou for your help

Thanks
I already tried to commit with ABAP "COMMIT WORK". Is this similar to your proposal?!?!
But yesterday I found a first workaround, thats working great!
I export neccessary Data to ABAP-Memory (with EXPORT obj to MEMORY ID xyz) , calling an external programm (SUBMIT report AND RETURN)
The external Programm does nothing more than getting the Data from ABAP-Memory (by IMPORT obj FROM MEMORY ID) and calling the function modul "HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION" to modify the Infotype
Now I try to solve it with a simple function module (don't know why I didn't think about it earlier) ....
So, my question is answered and maybe this thread can help someoneelse with the same problems
